Fake wikipedia page: The Strong Inverse Bechdel test is an arcane technique invented by the warlock Coltan Azur in 1759 NA, originally designed as a method of retrieving forbidden knowledge which would otherwise be inaccessible to baseline sapients. Where the original Bechdel test functioned as a measure of the representation of women in fictional settings by asking whether a work features two women having a conversation about something other than a man, the Strong Inverse test involves two non-fictional women, inserted into a specially-constructed Textual Actual World (TAW) by means of a standard fictional rocketship, talking about everything in the universe. This discursive material can then be sifted for forbidden knowledge using a Kreminski-type inductive story sifter in 𝒪(nlog n) time. Azur conducted the first run of the Inverse Test in 1761 NA, employing their wives Arabella Dust-Kirby and Finally, Finally, The Last Words Are Inaudible, Though Try As You Might To Hear Them, And For The Remainder Of Your Days With Each Rememberance Distort The Unreliable Record Of Memory Until Finally, Finally, You Yourself On Your Deathbed Achieve A False But Comforting Understanding In The Moment You Need It Most as the actants, and using a modified copy of William T. Vollmann’s You Bright and Risen Angels as the substrate. Although initially successful, Azur was unprepared for the sheer volume of forbidden knowledge, much of it deeply unflattering, and suffered a cerebral haemorrhage as a result; they subsequently died in 1767 NA of unrelated causes, and their wives remain trapped in the TAW. The substrate is held in the permanent collection of the Artemis Institute In recent years, the use of the Strong Inverse test has gained notariety as a form of torture, particularly by Formerican intelligence services, who have reportedly used the Strong Inverse test both as part of a polygraph or neuropolygraph, and as a method of sensory overload.

never knew this!

@realfollowers.bsky.social indulge me

kinda crazy that after looking at this website for 3 minutes, i still can’t figure out what EDD does (or stands for!)

both gcc and llvm get points for vendors totally bongling the version number – gcc with 2.96, and llvm with AppleClang version being until seperate to llvm version (and only linkable via wikipedia)

Reload is the GCC equivalent of Satan. See [gccsource:reload.c], [gccsource:reload1.c], and [gccsource:reload.h] if you have a brave soul. (You'll probably also wind up looking at [gccsource:local-alloc.c] and [gccsource:global.c], the register allocator proper.) What does reload do? Good question. The what is still understandable. Don't ask about the how. Reload does everything, and probably no one exactly knows how much that is. But to give you some idea:

see also: gcc.gnu.org/wiki/reload

this is why gcc will always have a certain mystique. llvm/clang could never cook something up like this.

CANADIAN=no

If build, host, and target are all the same, this is called a @dfn{native}. If build and host are the same but target is different, this is called a @dfn{cross}. If build, host, and target are all different this is called a @dfn{canadian} (for obscure reasons dealing with Canada's political party and the background of the person working on the build at that time).

The gcc source has some good finds:

everyone loves Rasputin (the Boney M song), but not enough people appreciate the seamless transitions from Nightflight To Venus into it. the drums are done so well.

Welp, I got laid off. RIP futurewei OSS rust team.

If you know anyone hiring systems engineers lmk.

have you been a victim of repo - The Multiple Git Repository Tool? you may be entitled to compensation. don’t loose out on what you’re owed, book your free consultation now.

did you know that rust has support for parameterized modules, just like ocaml: github.com/rust-lang/ru...

5m after posting this, i ran into the terrible train loo’s that only let you use water-soap-water-drier in that exact order, and it’s the most annoying thing of all time

allow arbitrary and invalid transactions, you bastards!

ooh, are there docs on the choices made here and why?

maybe i’m too compiler-brained, and don’t have good intuitions about services that evolve over time, and interoperate with 3rd party services (via evolving interfaces)

interesting post, and making me reconsider my habit of aggressively enforcing everything in the type system. (triphosphate (my abandoned atproto lib) was going to be super strict around limits, but that’d break old clients here.

Kyle Daigle @kdaigle: Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week. So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub's core features. And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. Quote Tweeing: @ThePrimeagen I would like to make my apologies for defending M$, but I must from time to time. I have to put respect on github for handling the amount of shit code that has been added over the last 3 months....

i’ve seen speculation that it’s to do with a massive increase in traffic due to pushes of LLM generated code;
