Spent the past few days pulling my hair out over what turned out to be a mis-compilation in Rust 1.87+ *only with avx512vl*. Looks like it has been fixed in nightly (presumably due upgrading to LLVM 21), but ugh. github.com/trifectatech... The ticket above was minimized from a CPython test failure

It is once again that irregularly scheduled time to run a manual GC on browser tabs I've left open. Today I went from 213 tabs to 128 tabs across 9 windows. And actually watched a couple of videos I'd wanted to for a while! My all-time worst was 683(!) tabs across 21 windows 🫣

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...
