Yet another code monkey. I program robots and yell at clouds. He/him.

Honestly, I can’t read something that includes an unironic use of “founder mindset” as anything other than a shitpost.

Yet here we, microsoft, and the entire “ai” “industry” are 😭 https://mstdn.social/@jukkan/116449605862675745

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d never give a rust project a name starting with “rs”, because I would automatically pronounce it as “arse”. Just reading about some new tools, arsebuild and arsepack 🤭

I think it is probably ok not to include the name of the implementation language in the name of your thing, unless it is actually tooling to write and build that language. Is it only rust and python that make a habit of this?

Class notes.
Thinking about how palantir calls its employees “hobbits”, and how in the lord of the rings two of the three people who owned palantirs when the story starts get everything they’ve ever worked for wrecked by hobbits before being killed, and the third is deeply delusional and kills himself whilst a hobbit ruins his final plans.

We were visited by the spicy pillow fairy!

I picked it up, and wondered what the strange warm squishy package was. And then put it down quickly.

(it was just warm as it was in the sun, not actually brewing up, but it was still unsettling)

Nobody knows where it came from, or who decided to wrap it in a plastic bag and dump it outside the office bathroom window. It has subsequently been moved to the lithium battery naughty corner.

Yay, ambiguous units. I see two closely related numbers, one labelled “MBit/s”, the other labelled “Mbps”. It seems like the second is counting megabits, and the code and docs around it hint as much (but never say outright—that would be too easy!) and yet it looks suspiciously like one-eighth of the first number 🤔
I don’t like the way that part of my brain can now go “that thing is async-code-bug-report shaped”.

I know there’s a rust-lang tag with unambiguous purpose, but I like following the regular rust tag because you also get nice non-programming-related things too.

Complaining about powershell a few days ago and complaining about linux cli tools that don’t have the option to return nice structured data and realising that actually, for all the other weird shit, this is something that powershell has baked in from day one: tabular output with named fields and columns your script can easily reference.

So good job, the authors of lsblk and iw, you made powershell look well designed 😤
