It's still absurdly pretty (and kinda cold)
The dogs love the snow, the goats and llama don't seem to mind it, and the chickens are so offended they won't come out of their coop.
@sundogplanets Hello 👋, are you familiar to digital/marketing where you learn high skills income and gain 10x better than your 9-5 job?
every time i read something about fsync() i end up feeling more and more that postgres just opening the NVMe device via virtio in userspace is the way to go if you want your data to reliably reach the drive
Empower young people to make BETTER decisions than we've made: support critical thinking skills!
1️⃣ Be curious.
2️⃣ Be questioning.

utilitarian in the streets / deontologist in the sheets (I follow arbitrary rules strictly because it reduces decision fatigue)

The Trolley Problem is unrealistic because it assumes I have the executive function to pull the lever
How do we get Liz Oyer onto Mastodon? Being the former pardon attorney for the US Department of Justice, she is a unique expert in US politics.
She is truly an important figure in the fight against corruption, and has some seriously deep insight about Trump's crimes.
Months after he took over from Justin Trudeau, critics are accusing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of betraying the fight against climate change. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/29/energy/canada-pm-climate-critics/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #climatechange #canada #energy #oil #gas #emissions #markcarney
I'm considering adding language to @xunit that says something to the effect of "no AI is used or permitted in this project." It's a political stance of sorts, but one I feel strongly about, to the point of finding a way to say "do not send me a PR if you didn't write the code yourself." I wonder if I can amend the CLA for my project to require a legal certification of this.
Oh wait. It's been like a whole week since I listened to "Walking in L.A." by Missing Persons. Let me fix that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQF7FDeUePA

hm ok so serious q
Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
but then:
This document describes building Rust from source. This is not recommended if you don't know what you're doing.
this clearly does not empower everyone to build rust. so is rust not reliable and efficient software?
"if you don't know what you're doing" is doing a fair bit of work there.
I'd like to see a tutorial that takes someone from a novice who knows what a compiler is, through the steps of building rust from source, yes. I personally think that learning the process of building the tools you use to make your tools is valuable...
...because that's basically how you teach blacksmithing, and I've first-hand experience with the specific value that you get from this approach.
Tom Stoppard was fantastic. I was a theater student before I forked into computers and I was endlessly impressed. But I have to admit, I didn't remember that he cowrote Brazil. Yes, Arcadia. Yes, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Yes, Night and Day. But it's worth giving that a re-watch too. Brilliant.
It’s factory reset day!! 🎉
Always kind of freaks me out when I do this, but it is very refreshing to have a clean slate every now and then nonetheless :P
Well, that was fast-
fellow fediverse admins of instances with more than 20 people: if you have dot social unlimited, how have they been recently regarding spam and moderation? how frequently do you find yourself cleaning up their mess?
🔁 please boost, but do not respond if your instance has less than twenty active users
this has been very interesting because i've gotten a lot of responses with "haven't had any problems" followed immediately by "have to take moderation 5-10 times per month" - which is an order of magnitude more problems than i have at the moment with dot social limited! (0-1 times per month)
Oportunistas que usan IA generativa como instrumento facilitador para lucrar a costa de cualquier cosa, incluida una tragedia de la magnitud de la DANA, hay por decenas. Ahora bien ¿qué hacen todas esas instituciones financiando a esta clase de "editoriales" con Fondos Europeos? 🤨
¿Qué hacen los espacios de difusión cultural dándole lugar a esta aberración para legitimarla como una «obra con valores fundamentales para los más chicos»? 🤦 ¡TODOS CÓMPLICES!

Bitfield ivars in Objective-C are cursed.
@david_chisnall Long ago there was an obscure bug if a superclass ended with a bitfield and its subclass started with a bitfield. (Internally the compiler smashed all ivars together into a single struct representation, then C’s bitfield coalescing rules made a mess of it.)
Fixing this bug was when I learned about C `int:0` bitfield syntax.
Si può dire che i #Cingolani, i #Minniti e tutti gli altri pupazzi di finta sinistra piazzati nell’industria armiera mi hanno sterminato gli zebedei col loro terrorismo psicologico militarista in palese conflitto di interessi?
@gubi quando dice "noi abbiamo ancora dei vincoli etici" gli scende una lacrimuccia di disappunto. Poi si riprende e aggiunge "ma non per molto, grazie alla classe politica che continua ad abbassare l'asticella".
(Per le volpi, è satira, non l'ha detto davvero, ma pensate che non lo direbbe?)

I know you all view me as the foremost scientific mind on Mastodon dot com. So I've done some calculations and it's plain to me that in only 3097 years Dracula will be as real as Jesus Christ. Which will certainly make Christmas a bit more interesting.
@TheBreadmonkey If I am around I'm going to use D-Mas just to piss off the people that hate X-mas. Also, the holiday will go from ...born, his blood for you to your blood for him. Interesting plot twist.
