You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?

Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example

Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!

This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

Sebastian Aaltonen finally finished his "No Graphics API" blog post! Which ends with a graphics API of course :) But it is like 150 lines of "API surface". Pretty cool. https://www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-graphics-api
No Graphics API — Sebastian Aaltonen

Graphics APIs and shader languages have significantly increased in complexity over the past decade. It’s time to start discussing how to strip down the abstractions to simplify development, improve performance, and prepare for future GPU workloads.

Disassembling Terabytes of Random Data with Zig and Capstone to Prove a Point

We go on a journey of discovery to prove my friend wrong (he has a PhD). We learn that ARM instructions are more common than DEFLATE data in random streams.
