Lord help me I'm starting to enjoy coding in C .
I find myself saying "if you're writing *that* kind of C you've done something wrong at the design stage"
I caught myself feeling grateful that the language punishes you with unreadability and untestability when you do too much in one function
Is this... Stockholm Syndrome?

Good for him, and good for all the other artists who are taking a stand.

One truly mind-blowing thing about the ICE invading cities is how •little• actual violence there’s been against ICE agents. Observing, filming, making noise, warning neighbors? Yes. Violence, physical assault? Hardly any. At the level of people throwing snowballs.
Imagine, just imagine, the kind of principled self-restraint it takes for basically the entire population to respond to all this ongoing terrorizing and kidnapping following the constitutional principles that these agents themselves are flouting.
Cities? Cities are bastions of peace if you ask me.

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything? Why should that creep (through his foundation) get to use that kind of power to shape what scientists and NGOs can do?
(Nobody should have that power, most foundations are politically a net negativ…

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?
Add social.tchncs.de to the list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers.

"For others, the exploration of old computer magazines brings the possibility of running old software. Many computer magazines, and not only the programming kind, used to bundle reams of source code listings across their pages, and many an enthusiast would painstakingly type those code bits by hand, in order to have a new utility, to learn a new programming language, or to enjoy a new game."

NASA began a two-day practice countdown Saturday
leading up to the fueling of its new moon rocket,
a crucial test that will determine when four astronauts blast off on a lunar flyby.
Already in quarantine to avoid germs,
Commander Reid Wiseman and his crew will be the first people to launch to the moon since 1972.
They will monitor the dress rehearsal from their Houston base before flying to Kennedy Space Center once the rocket is cleared for flight.
The 3…

Series B, Episode 11 - Gambit
AVON: Yes, well, that makes it all worthwhile.
VILA: I mean, you give me a warm feeling right here, around the money belt.
AVON: We are going to need some kind of casing for Orac.

All worry is laid to waste.
The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water,
the music pounding through my body,
the caffeine,
the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky
– no what-ifs,
no yeah-buts,
no what-abouts,
no caveats, at all.
I am made happy,
and that happiness is entire and incontestable.
And all the way home, I go
— to my beautiful waking wife
– on this, the best day ever.
Love, Nick Cave
