@rmi My initial comparisons to substance abuse were somewhat tentative and reluctant, back in January. But these have gone from being a few troubling-but-subtle bits of hearsay and implication to a drumbeat of near-daily incidents and I wish I were not feeling so validated in this particular view

@meph @lina her response boils down to "you, personally, are not contributing enough to open source". that is both false and insulting

@makary @david_chisnall

Sometimes it's really obvious!

I show that in this video I made. You can see their gasters expanding as they drink. When they return to the colony they share the sugar water with the younger ants and queen. #antvideo #ants #coneants #Dorymyrmex

Cone ants drink sugar.

I've finally finished my implementation of SSH for unikernels in #OCaml. For this example, I've used @reynir project to implement a #unikernel that offers a chat service (like IRC) via SSH. So now we have an engine for providing a TUI within a unikernel that doesn’t even recognise the concept of a console (thanks to lwd)!
The rumours are true; the Sega Saturn's System Manager and Peripheral Control (SMPC) chip is indeed a Hitachi HMCS400-series 4-bit micro!

the only interesting undocumented feature I have found after all that is... what looks like a half-baked Nintendo CIC-style copy protection? it can send some randomly generated bits serially to the cartridge port, read some bits back, apply some manglement to the combination and hand the resulting stew back to the main CPUs

which is especially unusual for a CD based console??

People at work are now using GenerativeAI tooling to send me messages on slack. As in, to replace person to person communication.

It's gross.

@vbatts these are ugly as fuck
