after a sequence of repetitive actions i realized the entire nodejs build process (which is largely not the nodejs build process but the v8 build process) is not actually compiling c++ code but instead
(1) generating header files from a combinatorial arrangement of shared stubs
(2) ordering the generated files to maximize the time the c++ compiler takes to iterate over non-matching entries for each #include
(3) directing the c++ compiler to include the maze of generated headers at the top of each source file

so the entire build process is stuck in VFS iteration, intentionally

@catacalypto.bsky.social Cat Signal! Just finished Esoteric Ebb w our almost-13yo (loved it) and might need a less ultra-texty palate cleanser before diving into, like, Roadwarden or something. Any recent faves to recommend?

@Gargron They really need to pick a lane: artificial obsolescence OR hyper-inflated hardware due to scarcity.

We really can't take being told to buy a new phone every year when phones are starting to cost as much as used cars.

TIL you can pattern match the module of an unknown struct in #Elixir with

%module{} = foo

This is incredible!

DJT's offer of $5000 per vote reminds me of Buzz Windrip's plans.

@sundogplanets Oh that is really not a good scene. Eeewwww.

@mos_8502 I know for sure that Sandy Bridge can be found with UEFI

Please take a moment to read our story. ❤️

I’m Hanan from Gaza, trying to support my family and keep moving forward through incredibly difficult times.

After losing so much, I do my best every day to provide my family with our basic needs and keep going.

I’m not asking for much — just a chance to get through these difficult days with my family. 🙏🏻

Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our story is also a meaningful way to help. ❤️‍🩹🍉

@Happyfishmedia also, … marmite! Seriously is that a new bait trick now?

The more I think about it, the more I resonate with the sticker - “I turned evil when they closed Joann”.

I bought everything for my crafts there! My yarn! Fabric! Cake decorating tools!! Floss! All the hooks and needles!!

I miss it so much

Help! Lowest end AMD64 system you can think up with UEFI!

A nuclear paralizada... e agora chega El Niño

Un dos moitos efectos que están tendo a seca e as temperaturas extremas é a necesidade de parar a actividade en moitas das centrais nucleares europeas.

"...A nuclear se vende como respaldo firme, mais erra xusto cando máis se necesita.... Ademais, agrega o investigador, "non é un simple apagar e acender, senón que a parada require protocolos de seguridade que impiden reconectar a vontade".

@petrillic @mos_8502 but I’m also not sure if any of those ever shipped with UEFI, maybe possibly from a Tier-1 vendor eg Dell or HP?

@ThisCJ lovely. I climbed this delightful peak many years ago up the south west ridge, and as I recall a particularly nasty couloir just before the summit.

Israel Refuses Source Code Transfer in $3.5B Air Defense Deal

Israel will not grant Greece access to the primary source code for the command-and-control system of a $3.5 billion air defense array. Moshe Patel, head of Israel’s Missile Defence Organisation, confirmed the code was excluded from the license agreement signed in August—Israel’s largest arms export deal to date.

Withholding the code raised concerns over Greek military autonomy, as access is needed for local technicians to maintain and upgrade the system independently.

Israel’s Defence Ministry clarified it will develop a customized "Greek source code" under exclusive Greek control. The deal marks the first time Israel is supplying a complete defense array against threats from UAVs to ballistic missiles, with plans to scale exports to contenders like the UAE.

@lauren Exactly. I don't know why so many YouTubers edit out all the natural micro pauses. Maybe they misunderstood dead air. But you're right. Radio dead air is jarring.

I have an awful, terrible song; dangerously beautiful and poignant. A cover warning is warranted. Written by a Jewish poet/composer named Abel Meeropol. Meeropol was a member of the communist party in the 30's, and sympathized with the Rosenbergs, who were executed for treason. Meeropol and his wife adopted the Rosenberg sons.
