So we need to be eating more whole foods in my house, but the problem is that we have limited time for cooking and prep. How are people managing this? Any dead simple recipes? #WholeFoods #MediterraneanDiet #Vegan

ohhhh crying in the libraryyyyyyyy
A student in their final semester who has been checking out a laptop from us every week their whole time here just came up to return, not renew, one because they could finally afford their own and they wrote up a testimonial to talk about the positive impact it had for them.
There is a lot, way too much, bullshit at my institution, but these little moments where we get to really see what the library can do for a person is what keeps me in the fight.

This is my (sad) face that Linux interfaces have a maximum name length. What do you mean I can't call this VLAN interface 'vlan22-matterlab'?
Also, this is my annoyed face that Canonical Netplan doesn't check or report this problem/restriction. Instead your VLAN interface just doesn't get created, and you have to go look at system logs to find systemd-networkd telling you about it.
(This is my face about Netplan in general, of course. The sooner it gets yeeted the better.)
it is a fact that every ELF binary starts with more or less the same stuff. and don't even get me started on the petabytes of space lost to storing eight quintillion copies of This program cannot be run in DOS mode. in circa every COFF binary. all that shit can be thrown away entirely.
it is also a fact that pretty much every program uses the same couple dozen opcodes (Euh et al., 2020). we can optimise for the most common ones. we don't need to store xor eax,eax because nobody's ever gonna xor the eax register with anything else. in the same way that taking a weird photo will produce JPEG artifacts, weird opcodes will result in decompression artifacts (aka "corrupt data"). this is uncommon enough that we don't care about it happening.
we'll hardcode a list of common constants and extract them from the binary. it takes EIGHT BYTES to store a double precision float representation of pi, and it's always the same number!! any binary containing bytes that look anything like a representation of 3.14 can be merged. ditto for tau, euler's constant, INT_MAX, etc.

@lynnesbianLynnesbian 
it's not exactly the same but I wrote a "just in time cpu" that would synthesize a soft core with only the instructions, addressing modes and status register bits that your program used. https://github.com/osresearch/risc8
I've had some thoughts bouncing around for conference sprints. We talked about it at 
@ConferenceChats a few weeks ago, so I wrote an initial FAQ on how to prepare for them.
It primarily focuses on gaining new contributors from a project leader prospective.
Let me know what you think!

創元SF短編賞に応募した
賞レースに参加するのは久しぶりだ。学生の頃はよく応募していた。自分の作品はあまりにも褒められる。当時、ライターの職も手にしていた。自分は文章がうまい。そんな自負をしっかりへし折ってくれる存在が、他ならぬ賞レースであった。誠に遺憾ながら、僕は最終候補まで残った経験が一度もない。 何度かは、すごくいい線までいった。編集部から直々に電話がかかってきて、惜しくも最終候補には選ばれなかったがこれこれこういう課題があり、このように修正すれば受賞できるポテンシャルはある、云々。だが、僕の作品はついぞ受賞はおろか、最終候補にも残ることはなかった。

this new discord update is awful
@lynnesbianLynnesbian why is the emoji picker on the quantity input? how many stamps does >:( resolve to?
Whenever I see the stats about people who do or don’t believe that some “officer-involved shooting” was “justified” I wonder how different the answers would be if the question was “do you believe the right punishment for this offence is summary execution without trial”.

有時候睡覺一直作夢好累
得先起來上個廁所喝個水休息一下再繼續睡
今天是侄女出生D22，我們首次帶著她出於休閒目的，在外面待了約4小時！首先是去取弟弟之前打的鑰匙。
在德國，打鑰匙和開鎖的鎖匠是不同人，不可身兼二者。而德國公寓／大樓的設計，都是總出入口的大門、各戶家門、垃圾室的門……均為同一把，也就是這把鑰匙既可以開自家門（但開不了鄰居家門）、也可以開總出入口大門，所以當鑰匙丟失或損壞需要多打鑰匙時，必須寫email向管委會之類的管理單位報告、取得許可，才能拿著許可去打鑰匙。打鑰匙也不像在台灣這麼快，我弟在弟妹生產前去申請打鑰匙，現在才能取件，小孩都滿三週了。
鑰匙店看起來很酷！如圖一，牆上掛著整面的鑰匙和鎖在展示，店面有一點大（？），看起來就像一間酷酷的什麼時尚工藝品的店，高高的玻璃櫥窗裡展示的是構造複雜的鎖。 聽弟弟說，這爿小店其實是慕尼黑的老店，裡面還有一個小博物館，展示著鎖的歷史（？）。有興趣的人可以看看它在Google maps上的介紹：

Elon Musk: "I'm a free speech absolutist!" Also Elon Musk: "Anyone who teaches students that America was built on stolen land is guilty of treason and should be imprisoned." Look, some of us tried to warn people that Elon Musk doesn't care one bit about free speech. But did anyone listen?

Holy crap, the vibe coders are really starting to go off the deep end. This is a real paragraph written by a real vibe-coder about a real vibe coding tool he is vibe coding.
'“Idle polecats” is an example of a heresy that plagues Gas Town. There is no such thing as an idle polecat; it’s not a pool, and they vanish when their work is done. But polecats do have long-term identities, so it’s more like they are clocking out and leaving the building between jobs, which is harder for agents to wrap their heads around. So “idle polecats” make it back into the code base, comments, and docs all the time.'
