hey so apropos of nothing at all, anyone got any rust/c++ jobs going that won't irrevocably corrupt my eternal soul? (remote UK)

The media is such a wiener for Elon Musk.

The dude will say baseless nonsense like "in ten years every one will have telekinesis" and it'll be a headline with no skepticism.

Besides being an actual Nazi, he also has been wrong about everything for a decade. We aren't on mars, the hyperloop is a single-lane tunnel in one city, AI is still broken, and DOGE somehow added cost while reducing services.

He's an idiot. Stop quoting him like anything he says is meaningful.

The word “community,” a timeline:

1950: The people who live near you and help when your house floods
1990: A group of people with shared interests who meet regularly
2010: An email list you can’t unsubscribe from
2015: Anyone who follows a brand on Instagram
2020: A Discord server with 40,000 strangers and one moderator
2024: A Slack workspace your company forces you to call a community because it’s cheaper than actual culture

Edit: this conversation is getting muted these boosts are annoying the hell out of me

doom-prepper thought of the morning: when AI-driven tech prices make new PCs, consoles, phones, etc. impossible to own, at least we will have TTRPGs and board games, so clearly I should buy more now and build up my game chest for the times to come.

not sure if I'm joking or not

@mwl @number6 lining up how they get treated differently, I’m not sure I’d tangle with anti-circumvention laws if plain “copyright infringement” is an option.

See, this is why CEOs need hobbies. A CEO's job is to do ✨something✨ and watch the money pour in, problem is that businesses can get into the unfortunate situation where they make enough money to pay everyone well and then just kinda tick over in that horrible boring state for years and years. If the boss doesn't have a good hobby, if he just comes to the office every day and twiddle his thumbs, he'll find himself in need of a good mousetrap to stick his dick in
i have half of a diatribe written regarding the matter of "lempel-ziv" encoding. to give an idea of my thoughts regarding its ostensible "universality", i will relate that until last week i believed it was just one of several distinct stream encoding mechanisms that zstd could employ. it turns out to my dismay and absolutely not to my surprise that the reason ziv and lempel's approach is attractive is because it lets you throw slop into the slop machine
@foone random reads are way faster when your average rotational wait is 90° than 180° though - which may win out when there isn’t catastrophic data loss…?
