So I watched the two first episodes of Andor (the Star Wars TV series).

Why were people raving about this? After two episodes there should be at least one likeable character, and I would have hoped at least something would have happened?

It may be because I have a general dislike for TV series which are not episodic. But, I get the feeling that this is something that was meant to be a movie, but the writer was told to stretch it out into a TV series. The stuff that happened in the first two episodes could have been 5 minutes.

You don't learn to code in order to better participate in capitalism (although that has certainly improved my life tremendously), you learn to code because you are now the means of production... And it's fun.

Happy vday, and always remember, Russia was a nazi ally for the first two years of the war. The USSR was technically an axis power. The Wehrmacht could not do shit if it wasn't for the Soviet union pumping it up with resources. Russia shares responsibility for the Holocaust. Do not forget and remind any vatnik you may encounter and beat it into their dumb fucking skull with a brick if you have to.

#Lisp
https://github.com/glycerine/zygomys

Another lisp (lisps sometimes feel like weed: Leave a computing environment unpoliced for some for some time, sure as hell, a lisp has parachuted in and taken root)

What's beyond me, though, why almost everybody who makes their own (un-common, non-scheme) lisp, insists practically on their own vocabulary for defining (e.g.) functions. They avoid the time honored defun, the logical define and even the non- mutilated define-function. Instead they use defn.

This!!! Nothing wrong with being soft, but also octopi are masters of camouflage, they are venomous, predatory, have a razor sharp beak they can use to rip flesh apart if they have to and if they can't handle a situation they can spray ink to blind their enemies and run away from danger, also they are smart as shit. So, you know, if you're gonna be a shellless mollusk, that's fine, but just know you'll need to be able to handle shit if you have to https://mastodon.art/@thelatestkate/112368467606487550

The US government threatening to go to war with the International criminal Court at the Hague the day before May Day is most certainly... A choice.

That one could make.

"This project uses a mini CT-scanner, which is different than the full-size donut scanners used in hospitals. By creating a "fish burrito", we can scan many fish at the same time, and it will only take only a few years to scan all the fishes in the world at our current rate thanks to our novel approach to scanning." https://www.adamsummers.org/scanallfish #ScanAllFish

Not all enbies consider themselves trans, I certainly don't, but since I'm getting frighteningly close to middle age I've decided regardless to transition from demoboi to daddy. Demidaddy? Someone should add that to the non-binary wiki.

i think mental fatigue isn't real

now that i got that clickbait out of my system, let me clarify. as a daily experiencer of fibromyalgia, mental fatigue is a constant everyday experience for me

when i say "i think" i mean "i am testing a hypothesis", and when i say "not real" i mean "often may not correspond to a specific, reproducible physiological process"

how CISOs think of FOSS developers:

> Independent FOSS devs are part of the software supply chain in exactly the way rocks are part of the mineral supply chain, for better and worse.

(or at least this particular CISO does; https://infosec.exchange/@dymaxion/112200742199385332)

ADHD brain: at the store in the morning, I crave chocolate, so I buy a bar. 6 hours and two meals later I noticed a chocolate bar on my desk. 2 meals and 2 opportunities for desert and the damn thing was in my line of sight the whole time. I didn't just forget it was there, I completely missed its existence while looking directly at it.

What I need: tools to help me reason about code, it's history, behavior, implications and invariants.

What I get: automated copy/paste from potentially compromised corpus of random code.
