if you haven’t been pegged in the ass or pegged someone else in the ass, then your opinions are invalid… sorry i don’t make the rules

FULL page review in the new Wire for Shane Parish's latest Autechre Guitar. Derek Walmsley says "uncanny" "brilliant" and other adjectives of that nature.

Also out TODAY the latest single: "Slip" !! Stream it on bandcamp or whereever you do that stuff.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

One of the cool things about Indian philosophy is the tradition of presenting opposing arguments in excruciating detail (purvapaksha) before presenting your own (siddhanta)

Release builds for weaver are dog slow simply bc the wasm builds are so heavily optimized for size at the linking stage.

But yeah, Rust is slow to compile relative to a lot of other languages, in part bc it does so much *at* compile time.

proc macros plus linking are the big bottlenecks. stuff that uses syn (i.e. a *lot* of crates that provide derive macros, like serde and clap) is slow to compile and also doesn't parallelize well, and then the default linker has a similar problem, especially if you do link-time optimization.

it's a shame that so much of corporate history and invention is completely unwritten or, when it is, mythologized for marketing purposes
