🔥 Anybody else reaaally feel like review bombing this AD?

This quote sounds like a fitting review:
"Hello Mister President, congratulations!"
"Did you watch it?"
"No, I did not - I will see it on the news"
🤣 🤣 🤣

Trump's motto right now:
A troll post or comment a day,
keeps the full Epstein Files away.

Wow. I just saw a post with 41 hashtags. That's a new personal best for me.

The post w/o the hashtags, including the URL, is 256 characters.

Some people really get on my nerves. Like I know they're probably OK but the sort of performative anger at global events and the finger wagging at everyone. Just feels like a clout play.

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY NOTICED POLITICS AND STUFF LATELY IT IS BAD WHOS WITH ME ALSO WHO LIKES PIZZA

I suppose that is engagement for people who aren't clinically insane. But are they just furious all of the time? I feel like this is the polarisation - the online algorithmic echochamber we talk about. Have a day off dude. That doesn't need to be your whole brand. Enjoy some fruit. Smell the trees. Take in a show. Find a body of water and jump into it. Call an old friend. Make love to yourself under the moonlight. Make something with gravy then have too much gravy. Write your memoirs. Scare a goose. Straighten your hair and howl at a stranger. Learn how to do a backflip. Chant an ancient curse and summon the End Times. Grapple a boa constrictor. Burn all of your clothes. See how far you can throw a pineapple. Grieve the loss of your childhood innocence. Raise cattle from foals and then when fully reared release them into the wild. Become a famous weather presenter. Jump a motorcycle over 14 buses. Macrame an indoor plant hanger. Submit a winning entry to a book competition. Undergo extensive plastic surgery then run away to live in the forests of Paraguay. Enter and triumph at a Chris De Burgh lookalike contest. Never eat bread again. Evolve gills and live underwater. Bio-engineer a dragon. Recreate the Sistene Chapel in a Wetherspoons. I could go on.

We Don't Use AI

#HackerNews #AI #Ethics #Technology #Development #YarnSpinner #Blog #Post

Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner

We get asked about AI a lot. Whether we’re going to add it to Yarn Spinner, whether we use it ourselves, what we think about it. Fair questions. Time to write it all down. Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the technology that’s currently being called AI. We don’t have generative AI features in the product, and we don’t use code generation tools to build it, and we don’t accept contributions we know contain generated material. Let’s talk about why.

Just all but finished Chapter 17 of #Cooperative_enterprise_and_Market_Economy by @luisrazeto My introductory note is a little long, but I get excited. This time I got to refer to #quilombos, #SebastiãoSalgado, #post-development theory, and #AnwarShaikh.

One more round of revision and it's on to Chapter 18, on Cooperativism, Crisis and Transformation of the Market.

Why I Left iNaturalist

Why I Left iNaturalist

After almost 18 years, I left iNaturalist, the product and organization I helped create. I left because I don’t believe the current Leadership team is pointing the product in the right direction, and I don’t think they are managing their talented staff in an empathetic or effective way. If you’d like me to continue working on natural history software, support me on Patreon.

no strcpy either

Some time ago I mentioned that we went through the curl source code and eventually got rid of all strncpy() calls. strncpy() is a weird function with a crappy API. It might not null terminate the destination and it pads the target buffer with zeroes. Quite frankly, most code bases are probably better off completely … Continue reading no strcpy either →
