The Venn diagram of the people who love tech and the people who hate tech is just a circle. With maybe a sliver on either side to represent tech bros or people who managed to escape tech and take up farming.

@mwl @Tubsta @dch @ctuffli Bruh. bhyve now supports NUMA domains, because test ALL THE THINGS. 75 drives is like… a good start. All scaling issues should be explored to their unholy extremes.

U got this!

Oh hey are you looking for a Vim alternative?

Helix has replaced Vim/Neovim for me almost entirely. I install it first-thing on new devices.

And the devs, far as I can tell, are not using AI, nor adding first-party support for it.

In America, Trump supporters are describing the rise in gas (petrol. It's petrol) prices as "the final betrayal".

Which implies they were all pretty happy about ALL THE OTHER BETRAYALS.

"Throughout history, war has always been part of the authoritarian playbook. That's because war takes over the news. War blotss out criticism. War divides a nation's people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War enables authoritarian leaders to take emergency powers that they use to stifle dissent at home while they falsely claim to bring freedom to others abroad."

The surprising whimsy of the Time Zone Database

Time zones are hard. As a well-known Computerphile video so eloquently puts it: What you learn after dealing with time zones, is that what you do is you put away your code, you don’t try and write anything to deal with this. You look at the people who have been there before you. You look at the first people, the people who have dealt with this before, the people who have built the spaghetti code, and you thank them very much for making it open source, and you give them credit, and you take what they have made and you put it in your program, and you never ever look at it again. Because that way lies madness. The Canadian province of British Columbia recently decided to switch to permanent daylight time. I wanted to see if this update made it to the IANA Time Zone Database yet. Luckily, we can now view updates to this database as commits on GitHub. And there it was in the news file! I’ve perused the tz repository before, and I always learn something interesting. For example, during WWII Britain adopted double summer time, adding two hours to the clock in the summer and one hour in the winter. The bulk of the comments in the database are dedicated to documenting this extensive history of time zone changes across the world.
