• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudfare outage post mortem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I should bite the bullet and learn it.

  I decided to learn zig recently, it feels like crafting artisanal software, which is what I liked C for. But it’s kinda janky in that each point version major features come and go (see io and async).

  There’s a place for engineering software which is what rust seems great at. Definitely seems like a tool I could/would use as rust is taking over many of my tool workflows.

  Shluld get fired for not knowing your customers at that level.

  It’s sad that all of those things were solved problems 20 years ago.

  Like, Skype was usable on pretty much any computer with a webcam in 2006. Computers booted in a couple minutes with their spinning disk drives.

  The tech is faster, more reliable, higher resolution, etc, but the software is fucking ass.

  Exactly, while True: try: main(); except: pass;

  I was joking, but oof it did not go over well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudfare outage post mortem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Classic example of how dangerous rust is.

  If they had just used Python and ran the whole thing in a try block with bare except this would have never been an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch me go Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The video game subs are 100% cesspools of negativity now.

  Reddit has a huge whiner bias problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch me go Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like we’re slowly growing here, lots of very rich communities have been built now.

  But yes, my city and hobby communities are still a ghost town. We don’t have critical mass on lots of stuff yet.

  Some of these bought decommissioned power plants like old coal plants, so they’re getting wholesale prices for energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech Wants AI to Shop for You—Retailers Want Your Data. Guess Who’s Winning?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m curious what people think of this.

  There’s consent from the shopper and the retailer, so it’s not unethical, but obviously the model developers are going to enshittify and try to extract as much value as they can.

  I ask because just this morning I got an offer to work on exactly this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech Wants AI to Shop for You—Retailers Want Your Data. Guess Who’s Winning?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank Amazon and Walmart, and consumers choosing a cheap product over a curated experience and knowledgeable staff.

  Oof, GitHub doing a cloud lift and shift to Azure.

  I’ve done major lift and shifts, expect 2 years of runway on this feature pause.

  Inevitably some teams are going to add new features and it’s going to get janky (happens every time).

  I think we need to buy 4 bunches of bananas from the same grocery store, split two, leave two out but apart. Then record the results

  What’s the consensus on napping? I like it, at 3/4 I’m burned out and need one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: How to perfectly seal a bag of chips (or anything similar) without any clips or ties.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, I’m very confused

  When you form the cuff is that inward or outside the bag?

  When I flip the bag over, how do I avoid losing the chips?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re serious, Reddit had/has an extreme fixation for clipping scenes with Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Lawrence, Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney, and Ana De Armas.

  They’d get posted to /r/celebs and watch it for the plot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI country singer Breaking Rust tops Billboard with ‘Walk My Walk’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly it.

  The lyrics are basically just the “I’m a piece of shit and won’t change” genre, and apparently that resonates with a lot of people somehow.

  The only time I’ve had an enemy in my life I was 6 years old, I don’t get these songs man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI country singer Breaking Rust tops Billboard with ‘Walk My Walk’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well at least he’s memory safe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bacon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

  I tried a “bacon ale” at a festival, which was a shitty super bitter IPA (as was the tend, gotta max those IBUs) that tasted of raw bacon. It was still the worst beer I’ve ever had.

  I got a bacon candle as a gift which was absolutely terrible. It just smelled bad, and not at all like cooking bacon.

  Your neighbour probably thinks they’re being haunted by a very festive ghost

  You should set it to play an air raid siren/klaxon with a made up emergency news broadcast, like the purge.
