I was having the same reaction as you. If this garbage has done anything positive, it’s reminded me that Rob Pike isn’t just a creator of Go, but also of some good things too

Would love to be able to get into the details of why their tech is cool.

Anyway, I love all the pods, they’re top of my VIP list in overcast so I get them right away.

Basically, I want the “Adam, let me buy you a beer, let’s talk about cool shit” pod. As someone who works from home, I miss the down in the weeds tech chats I used to have.

Keen to hear your thoughts, I know putting together a new podcast is work, but I also think that plenty of your sponsors…

I want to hear more about the stuff Adam geeks out on - the tech details of the latest global disaster, cool exploits, stories from the past. Tom does a great job with the high level policy implications of the cybersec news, but I’m hankering for the other direction, down in the details.

@patrick.risky.biz @metlstorm.risky.biz I’ve been thinking for a long time now that there’s a Riskyverse podcast missing - every time Adam talks about a hack or some new exploit, the five min discussion each week is never enough. Have you guys considered the Metl pub chat pod?

As a software engineer, I also immediately went to lexer, but then as an Australian, it reminded me of the staple alcohol for backyard teenage parties, Fruity Lexia (makes you sexier). That's definitely a proper noun though, goon bags deserve respect.

Thought this was a quote from an alien and was very confused.

There's hope for America yet.

So... since you can buy individual pods and the case separately, people who are deaf in one ear can save money by just getting one pod and a case separately.

You can buy the left, right or case, IIRC the total cost is like $10 more than buying a new pair if you bought all three.

Software engineers of the world, I beg you.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

Haskell is inscrutable because of category theory terms like addition and multiplication.

an hour ago, france connected its first nuclear reactor to the grid this century.

construction was to take 56 months.

timeline:
• decision: 2004
• initial works: 2006
• reactor concrete: 2007
• grid connection: 2024
• commercial operation: 2025Q1

…20+ years end to end.

every company right now:

So you’ve just given up completely now? Man, facts hit hard hey

And that’s a problem.

Yes? Were you not paying attention? I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a bot, but their replies are usually higher effort than this nonsense. For the record, I pay about $300 per quarter for electricity, without solar.

Or changing one line in your flake.nix.

ACT

I live somewhere that has 100% renewable energy and I’m paying 21¢/kWh. Renewables shielded us from the unreliable coal plants most of the rest of Australia relies on, and we have the lowest prices in the country.

Time to learn #Haskell and get into #Pandoc

Small correction, Australia has no nuclear power plants, Lucas Heights has never been used for power generation. We have one nuclear reactor.

This is fake news: the grass wouldn’t still be green with all the water needed.
