This is one of the most spectacular sunsets I ever saw while working at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

The Atacama Desert is extremely dry, but clouds do show up sometimes. That day there were several dark clouds releasing very light rain that vaporised before reaching the ground. These wispy veils (called "virga") were lit by the golden sunset light, creating a lovely contrast with the blue sky above.

@SuricrasiaOnline the largest thing I've written in C was a huge CGI interface to LISTSERV. This went can to before jQuery existed iirc. Eventually I embedded Lua in it and replaced the internal trie string map I'd written with calls to Lua's hash table for a serious gain in performance. At some point someone found a bunch of buffer overruns in our string handling, that was a pain. Then I finished school and quit.

@SuricrasiaOnline I used to remember why it got called that but had to look it up again just now.

Were there any languages that instructed new special characters for notation post-C? like ALGOL 68 or APL? New stupid esolang idea 🤔

#feditips for new people: One of the most powerful things about the fediverse's anti-harassment tools is that you can block entire poorly-moderated instances at once. Look for "domain blocks," "instance mutes," or similar in your settings; this applies based on the domain name (which you can see after the second @ in a username), rather than individual users.

Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.
