My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

If one creates an UnsafeMutableRawPointer using allocate() and then calls deallocate(), isn't the pointer pointing to now-arbitrary memory?

How does one safely "forget" the pointer? Only thing I can think of is making the UnsafeMutableRawPointer property optional so it can be set to nil after the deallocate() call.

Appena finito di leggere "This is for Everyone" di @timblTim Berners-Lee oltre che una coinvolgente autobiografia dal creatore del WWW un trattato sulla relazione tra tecnologia e società da un uomo che ha deciso di aprire la sua invenzione per il bene comune dell'umanità.
Ispirato dal suo ottimismo e dal principio 7 del contract for the web, dopo anni lontano dalla parte "social" del web approdo sul fediverso, partendo da mastodon 😃

Oh boy. New government website has dropped.

"The site features a graphic of a ghostly horse galloping above the Earth, and the motto: “Information is power. Reclaim your human right to free expression. Get ready.”"

MDN describes the "maxlength" property on an HTML <input> as imposing a maximum number of "characters". Does "characters", in this context, refer to bytes, unicode codepoints, or unicode grapheme clusters?

(MDN screenshot of a table)
maxlength
Maximum length number of characters of value

My favorite IT help desk people

- documents steps for others
- remembers that a rare situation has happened before and it's able to look up what was done last time if it's the same thing
- able to handle a new situation BY READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

worth their freaking weight in gold.
