what i want from modern star trek is less shows about the federation failing miserably to live up to its ideals and more shows about the federation trying its best to live up to its ideals even though what that actually looks like being highly subjective

Got my parser to the point where it can handle the entire grammar, spent at lot of time getting the error messages nice.

Ran out of steam for the time being, will let it sit for a while and see if I come back to start building out the resolver and validator.

I'm beginning to wonder if a c-preprocessor is the most difficult thing I've ever attempted to implement.

I'm also wondering if I've made poor life choices to be implementing a c-preprocessor.

You can (and probably should?) disable copilot coding agent via GitHub Settings -> Copilot -> Coding agent -> set to No Repositories.

This removes some UI upsell in GH PRs as well as misleading addition of "gh-swe-agent" to PRs that had nothing to do with AI.

Bonus: you should also disable "Dashboard entry point" - this one is in "Copilot -> Features" settings - to remove the pointless Copilot UI from github.com main webpage.

Mr Rogers was a republican.
He was a white christian cis het man.

He prayed and read the Bible every day.

He created a children's TV show with taxpayer money in which he promoted his "christian views" to a secular audience through secular media.

He studied other religions and other cultures to improve on his reach and connection. He never preached or quoted scripture--yet, we all got the message he intended for us.

He appealed to President Nixon and Congress to continue to fund the creation of PBS with a persuasive speech that is one of the most studied for public speaking and PR. A gentle but powerful speaker.

While white people were pouring concrete into public pools rather than share with black neighrbors, Fred Rogers broadcast himself sharing a quiet conversation in a pool with African-American music and co-worker, Francios Clemmons. The softest act of defiance against White Supremacy.

He was the most demanded speaker on college campuses--he did not have to con his way onto campus to speak and nazis and counter-protesters did not follow his appearances---You know, despite the fact that he was a white christian man promoting christian values to the general public.

Every generation since the 1968 has been positively impacted by Mr Rogers.

Even children in the past 20 years are benefiting from his legacy at PBS --his methods and messages are STILL used in children's programming around the world.

No one had to mandate mourning his death because we all actually felt a genuine loss when he passed away. Even grown adults, who had not watched his show for 10 years by the time he passed, felt a piece of genuine goodness leave the planet.

We did not have to be Christian with Mr Rogers for him to do so much for us.

He never asked us to be Christian with him.

He only asked us to be his neighbor.

So...

If you find that the general public is rejecting your brand of Christianity, it might because you are a horrible fucking person with a 2000 yr old book of shitty excuses that no one is buying into.

It might be because you are a filthy grifter looking to capitalize off end-times hysteria and seniors with end-of-life anxieties.

It might be cause you are a disgusting bigot trying to reap superiority while evading moral accountability.

It probably has nothing to do at all with you actually "being a christian".

Cause we all fucking loved Mr Rogers.

Picked up a Bass guitar over the weekend. Now to watch youtube vidoes on how to play and wait for feeling to come back to the tip of my finger.

As I’ve been building a 3D renderer with #WebGPU, once you get past the fundamentals, I noticed it becomes harder to find guidance. There's plenty of beginner tutorials, but few cover how to put all the pieces together.

So I wrote a blog where I break down the minimal architecture I created, as well as covering basic #3D terminology like Geometry and Materials.

Maintaining software is expensive, and doesn’t raise speculative share prices like new AI features do.

The relationship between public companies and open source software has sure disintegrated of late. Aren’t we tired of trying to create money for billionaires above all else yet.

My first #siggraph was a lot of fun, exhausting, but fun. I do wish there was a concepts of realtime rendering talk before the advances talk to explain all the acronyms that are metioned in the advances talk.
