The worst thing about Boost.SQLite is that I didn't get to write it first :)

Please stop putting "cxx" or "cpp" in your C++ namespace. I already know what programming language I'm using tyvm.

(I'm only half-joking.)

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This loathsome interregnum is a period of vast uncertainty, sure, but it's also one of truly delirious opportunity.

If it was going to happen, and it was always going to happen, then we live now on the cusp of a magnificent work.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to have power over the world.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

I know people on UVU staff that are already worrying about what sort of nightmare might be heading their way, especially if a staff/student ends up being involved.

I do not envy their position, to say the very least.

I hope everyone will forgive the bluntness of my language, but it seems like bluntness is warranted: it now seems pretty clear that the president raped children or at least knew about and actively facilitated the rape of children.

I think it is time we stopped using coded language to say that.

There's cope temptation to make jokes about it, I get that and have done it too, but it is profoundly dark that the president of the United States is a guy who sent explicit jokes to his good buddy, the world's most notorious pedophile, very obviously about how much they both enjoy raping children.

The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: β€œJeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells β€˜fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.
Photo of three men holding a check for $22,500 made out to Jeffrey Epstein, with handwritten notes discussing the transaction.

Pashcow and his attorney didn’t respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for the woman said she doesn’t know Pashcow and has no knowledge of the letter naming her, which the lawyer called a β€œdisgusting and deeply disturbing hoax.”

Letter which reads: "Jeffary showing early talents with money + Women! Sells "Fully depreciated" [Name Redacted] to Donald Trump for 22,500$. Showed early "people skilld" too. Even though I handled the deal I didn't get any of the money on the girl!

Sorry to make it worse but there's a part of the WSJ article that no one is talking about that I had to share with someone.

yeah this is correct.

I think we all kind of knew this already but the President of the United States of America is a childfucker.

Don't dance around it, don't make jokes about it, don't hedge as if it's merely suggestive of the possibility or we need more evidence to confirm.

This is a literal signed confession that the president is a pedophile. He is guilty of that most monstrous of crimes. Say it plainly and directly.

Six boxed Sand + Fog Feu de Bois candles on a wire shelf. I have four more which are not pictured. The candles are very large and cuboid-shaped.

I bought a jumbo candle at Costco last November, and I LOVED it. So the next time I'm at Costco, I think "they might never sell these again," so I bought another just in case.

And then I did it again a few weeks later. And again. And again.

I now have ten. (I still haven't finished the first one.)

don’t love shooting a missile at a boat that appears to be just chugging along harming nobody (and, if it contained drugs, could’ve easily been interdicted). really don’t love posting satellite snuff footage of it on social media.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

Do you know what would be the most secure of all?

NOT requiring an online account, NOT storing my protected health data in a remote server, and NOT needing a dedicated security team to keep those systems safe.

I am offering you perfectly capable compute+storage on my phone. USE IT.

Unfortunately this is on my phone, where my password generator never works. So I enter a temporary password until I can change it in a web browser later on.

Except it stops me, because "the password is a known compromised password." Wow I'm so glad that this app cares about my security (SARCASM).

I download the app and... it wants me to create an online account.

Yet another online account.

An account associated with this one single device (which requires no online connectivity to function).

An account that will store my sensitive health data in some random server that I don't control.

I have an at-home medical device that works quite well on its own, but I wanted to use its extended functionality available through a mobile app that connects via Bluetooth. \

Is there a rationale for MSVC dropping support for inline asm in ARM/amd64?

It's not something I need often but it's weird that it has it for x86 but not others.
