TIL Ampersand "&" is just a sloppy handwriting of Latin word "et" which means "and".

F*cking. Based.

What an absolute clown show…

How is scum like Hasan actually allowed on any platform whatsoever? Calling for and celebrating violence and death is one thing, but now he is shock torturing a dog because it isn’t staying perfectly in frame during his stream?

This is straight up illegal, especially in the state he’s living in.

Mocking AI and its usage/fanatics is good and right, actually

Making jokes about the "hard R" is thinly veiled excuse to reference racist jokes, slurs, and sentiments in an 'acceptable way'

This is not a difficult or subtle difference, it's actually quite blatant and clear

Don't get it twisted

If it’s allocated in the main function, I leave it to the OS to clean up. Everywhere else I don’t trust myself to remember that I don’t reuse the function later and forget that it doesn’t clean up after itself.

"People smarter than you already figured it all out" is the stupid people's way to tell other stupid people to stay stupid, ignorant, and uncurious, because they need to justify their stupidity somehow.

The question is not WHO (smart, not smart) made it this way. But WHY.

I think I unlocked a new rabbit hole this morning...

youtu.be/qlrpeYdm9Ec?...

The things the human body can do, it's mind blowing.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

By the way, the little learnings and cool moments from someone whos been doing this for as long as you have and is getting back into it now, those would be pretty neat to share 😄

Sick! What's the rule set?

enik-engine editor

I spent the last few years building enik-engine, a lightweight C++ game engine with a custom editor, hot-reload scripting, physics, animation, prefabs, and more. Fast, small, and built for experimentation. Here’s a deep dive into how it works and the lessons I learned:

Do it. I'll always pick to be in a more fulfilling job even if it is unstable, rather than being unhappy in a job I can hardly lose. I'm in the former situation right now working in a startup, and I don't regret a thing, even if there's always the looming risk of us going under.

BBC News headline: Frankenstein is monster success at Venice film festival

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

LOUDER:

I want people PAINTING.
I want people BUILDING.
I want people HAMMERING.
I want people PLASTERING.

Guillermo "The Goat" del Toro never MISSES when it comes to production design.

Everytime someone mentions their use of GenAI in a conversation I instantly feel two red minus signs appear above my head.

I only did like two nob.h streams and it's already trending all over the place smh my h

I got nerd sniped by @tsoding.bsky.social.

Software is Infrastructure

Hey so you don’t need to test if the new version of the lying, plagiarism bot is better or worse than the old plagiarism bot they’re all bad

That's why I won't let LLMs write code for me. Even if it suggests something new to me, I won't learn it if I don't apply it myself.

NikaDevDev / Arris · GitLab Build Java with Java without dependencies in under 1k lines.

After getting annoyed at slow Gradle builds one too many timed, I finally did a nob.h imitation from @tsoding.bsky.social
Its easier to read then Gradle, 100% self-contained and faster.
I compile and bundle my web-app in 1.3 sec while Gradle needs 1.6 for hello world...

I don't know if this means as much to people outside Germany (or Europe, since the games are pretty popular esp in eastern Europe as well), but Gothic is one of my favourite, and I mean FAVOURITE, games.
So please, be good!

Looking at the new #2xko footage with Vi looking like an incredibly fun character, I'm extra mad about Riot's ridiculous anti cheat...

It's interesting how the rule of the more you measure the system the more you alter its state applies to A/B. Does YouTube even realize how frantic and annoying they make their UI? Do they realize that they're basically measuring nothing at this point?

I do the same thing. We have a little "shed", and everytime I close that door, I hold my keys up to the lock, so I can be sure that I can lock the door without locking in my keys.

And yes, I do have am ADHD assessment scheduled 😂

A screenshot from the bottom of the description box of a Youtube video, with the box showing my Bluesky link and a text underneath saying "To make external links clickable, first complete a one-time verification."

So apparently, Youtube does not allow external hyperlinks in its video description anymore, and one of the ways to "verify" is a selfie video that you have to allow YT to use for AI face recognition.
Fuck you.

Excuse me but wtf

Hot take: people only like summer because it was our only time off for like 12 years and it’s ingrained in our minds to like it. The actual season is fucking atrocious

This shit right here

You could argue that using an arena isn't RAII. The arena itself should probably be handled that way, but the things you are allocating into it aren't.

At least for my part, I prefer that whenever I can use it, because I don't have to worry about virtually anything memory related.
