well yeah, we were teenagers and family life was "stuff".

On the plus side we did play a lot of computer games!

omg - grugbrain.dev

I wish to reiterate that people need to be doing ugrad arts, ethics, psych, sociology, stats, philosophy, history classes to be rounded enough to see this bullshit for what it is.

The elimination of humanities from STEM coursework because its "deadweight" is 14/10 wrong and i will die on this hill.

we literally spent a large chunk of a semester of undergrad psychology deconstructing this shit from so many damned stats and experimental methods angles that by the time we came back around to "also people use it to be racist shits to black/brown people" the anger we feel is ultraviolet hot.

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good

.. is this a bit because no i don't see it :p

I once missed a flight (due to late arriving leg) that had me live in the airport in Singapore? Or Thailand? For two and a half days because in 1999 there were only 2 or 3 flights a week to Perth and I was young + didn't have money to book a set of replacement flights nor a hotel.

YMMV (literally)

Ma'am you lived two houses away from me

Nah, just expose an MCP endpoint and be done with it

i grew up in a suburb of Perth where all the streets are bird named.

i'm not trapped in the bird documentary with you, you're all trapped in Stirling, Western Australia with me.

Just a professor standing in front of BlueSky demoralized because exams my students used to get a mean of 83% on prior to 2020 are now failed in large numbers. It seems that their ability to APPLY concepts to new contexts/domains has all but disappeared.

I love these students & I am worried.

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.

(also we were 15yo coworkers at mcdonalds at the time)

(also god i love this movie. i love everything about it.)

damn!

To understand how clueless I was about women FOR THE LONGEST TIME i just want to point out that i took my very first date at 15 years old to see Event Horizon.

We didn't speak after that.

isn't it?

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

This is what i was promised as a kid cara, i am still salty

pile of sun ipx?

yup i love it

One of the things I /do/ agree with on the current SLS path is the decision to cut upgrading the rocket design every two iterations and stand up a mfg pipeline for the same design with incremental learnings and fixes. You learn from what you fly. You get cheaper costs by flying more frequently.

And you know what's awesome?

Seeing both happen in parallel.

I agree the SLS and constellation programmes are super expensive. But I don't buy that commercial only projects could have gotten us to the moon or mars.

Elon has been talking about those for over 20 years now. It's not easy or cheap.

Maybe one day we'll have enough examples of excellent written, publicly available / open source code that actually implements this that the training data isn't full of shitty co-routine inspired runtimes that "make your life easier".

It scales like shit. Stop it. Embrace the silicon. Love it.

engineers and languages which attempt to hide the actual underlying behaviour of actual computers and operating systems are both the wet dream of computer science folks and the scourge of people who /have to deal with the real world/.

n threads, one for each blocking syscall - does not scale. Ever.

this architecture selection by go btw is why i just can not with that language.

computers are fast. spawning threads because you're choosing blocking syscalls instead of batching work and creating fixed thread work queues with backpressure is a /choice/ and its one that constantly does this shit.

aaahahahahahahahahahahaha at least batch that shit

what are they trying to do exactly?

*git clone fails again because HTTP/2 issues, disabling HTTP/2 and falling back to HTTP/1.1 and things work again* oh for gods sake, fine, I've woken up, time to beat those HTTP demons back into OSI layer 2i + 1.5j

*hears the drum roll of Edge Side Includes slowly building in the distance*

god fucking damnit paul now you've done it *reaches downstairs for his squid slaying trident* I thought my time was DONE here *puts on the "armour of HTTP/1.1 but really only 50% of it"* I'm gonna have to do this AGAIN
