Weird raccoon. Computer antiquarian, runs a small youtube channel that desperately needs more videos
Shout out to the time Intel accused AMD of "gluing CPU's together" with Threadripper and Epyc
And then turned around and farted this out
I especially like that because which CPU core that *checking what CPU features are available* is actually executed on is effectively "random" it's not possible to automatically resolve this, either
So, at work my workstation is an i7-14700K (we're a 100% Intel shop for...reasons? not my monkeys, not my circus on this one)
Turns out the mismatched cache sizes on Intel's b̴i̴g̴.̴L̴I̴T̴T̴L̴E̴ er, "P and E core" design cause GCC to fail to bootstrap itself
Cool and normal
To be clear I'm already working at a new (and way fucking cooler) place and got picked up literally two weeks after Facebook threw me overboard
Trading free food for actually meaningful work that makes a difference in the world (working in education tech)
After getting das boot from Facebook I've now had like six recruiters this week all crawling up my ass trying to recruit me
...For the exact position I got fired from |:
I don't even have a snarky remark to make. It was an interesting (and tediously easy) role and other than the dude they're now firing next month (2 year contractor limits per FB corporate policy) I was the only other one on the team who knew how to use fuckin' Linux
Growing up in Australia and absorbing American culture meant learning about (but never experiencing) "snow days" or really snow in general
But since moving to Seattle I gotta say I am positively *underwhelmed*
Also this is the first time it has "snowed"
At all
And it's meant to be spring now?
