kinda fucked up the idea that "protesting children" is something that can be achieved by blocking off enough harmful things from them. instead of like. making sure they have the resources they need. you wanna actually help kids? how about we start by making sure they actually have food to eat???

Google

ok but it's not like it said that, it just had a github logo in its footer.

this would be like if YouTube just had a google logo at the bottom and it took you to google.com with no explanation.

there's a big difference between refusing to debate an actual nazi and refusing to debate some 17 year old who has heard one (1) nazi talking point and doesn't know why it's wrong (and likely doesn't know it's a nazi talking point)

why does npmjs.com just have a link to github.

not a link to a github repo or profile, but just the root of github.com

the amount of ~100 line rust programs i've just written once and then had them be "done" is quite a lot actually.

just "i need a program that does this one thing really well", maybe throw in a clever optimization or two, and... done. rock solid software.

My Resume - Alice Averlong Wiki

Hiya! Anyone in the SF Bay Area/Remote need a cool programmer for your team? I've been messing with computers for over 30 years now, I can program anything with bits, and I've got a lot of experience with all sorts of different systems, environments, and languages.

to anyone who says that the sun is the most eldritch entity in our lives

have you considered corporations

entities composed of thousands of individuals, often with no single individual having the power to drastically alter their trajectory... especially publicly traded corps

And some how some of the dates in the table it did output seem to be off by *three centuries*.

This stuff is beyond parody.

I've finally been coerced into trying the latest frontier LLM models and wow I'm actually surprised....

at how much they have entirely failed to address the core failures of previous LLMs.

Seriously I asked for a 4x10 markdown table and got 5455 words of pseudo-intellectual nonsense.

y'know, when I said "nothing works anymore", I did not expect that to apply to "the sorting functionality of the United Nations Digital Library"

Tell me why the first result for documents created in the last year is from 1975.

being an open source contributor is wild cuz sometimes you just stumble apon a random thing and go "wait, i did this!"

Preview
Binary Eye | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository QR code and barcode scanner with no ads

I love applications that do one specific thing very very well.

I've been using this app for a while and it's really good, scans every type of code you could want, 100% free no ads, lets you preview the link before opening it (also good for scanning non-url qr codes), and has a handy history feature

rust-analyzer frequently will not recognize new files until after restarting, maybe you were experiencing a similar issue?

> query based compilers are bad

yeah there are some trade offs to be sure

> here is how every language compiles & parses code, that is why Rust is bad

oh, okay?

"scratch pad" from cvs.  it has a barcode printed right on the front cover, as well as all the specifications like page count and size. i'm covering part of it with my hand.

Art Tip!

buy a sketchbook with a horrible tacky cover that you hate so you don't feel bad for putting "bad art" in it.

still insane to me that we don't have a standard field in images to define the formula that should be used to scale it.

if you've ever seen pixel art scaled up with linear interpolation, it looks awful.

standard industry practice is to manually scale everything, then export that. so wasteful
