이 팀은 인턴 채용할때 매번 연결 리스트 이거 뒤집는 방법 물어보는데 학생들이 생각외로 많이 못함 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 다들 너무 파이썬과 자바스크립트 등에 익숙해져버려서 ㅎㅎ (아님) 나도 근데 가끔 헷갈리는것임...
The thing with bubbles is that people have gotten impressively good at keeping them going. Even if built on pure nonsense, when there's a capital surplus a bubble that provides avenues for profitable speculation (and/or grifting) can just keep on running on the power of that alone. (Bitcoin still exists, for Christ's sake.)
I told everyone I was chaotic good! I did! 💛
The Verdict: If the listener is watching the video feed on YouTube or the TWiT site, this is easily an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 because Atwood's visual gags and frantic office backdrop are highly entertaining.
However, for a traditional audio-only podcast listener—who might find the visual-heavy prop comedy frustrating and the early tangents a bit jarring—it balances out to a 7.5. It is a deeply fascinating, uniquely chaotic interview that requires just a little bit of patience from the listener before delivering the "pearls."

@zkatkat These people need to go to hella jail after all is said and done. Meanwhile, I've started calling myself a programmer again. I never liked "software engineer". I know *real* engineers, and their field has way more rigor (and triple integrals, woof...). "Software developer" was fine until all the slopbro grifters started working. What's left? Programmer. I am a computer programmer.

@marie마리 김원봉과 심영, 그리고 신불출. 이들 중 김원봉은 일제 시대 때 의열단을 이끌었던 독립군 출신이다. 황포 군관 학교를 나와 광복군 부사령관을 지냈으며, 임시 정부의 국무의원과 군무부장을 지낸 군사 전문가이기도 하다. 후에 월북한 후 북한에서 최고 요직을 두루 거치다 숙청된다.
그리고 심영은 남조선 연극 동맹의 유명한 배우였고 신불출은 잘 아는 바와 같이 그 당시를 풍미했던 일류 만담가였다. 그리고 그들은 모두 공산주의자였다. 공통점이라면은 한결같이 훗날 김두한에 의해서 북으로 쫓겨 가는 사람들이라는 점이다.

New year, new elementary OS! We've got a great new minor release for you including a bunch of fixes you reported over the winter break and the latest hardware enablement from Ubuntu 🚀

This implies that there is any glory in being an engineer.

We have two sessions of Office Hours coming up at the top of the hour. The first part will be more focused on LLM usage, and the second group will be our normal chat-about-anything session.
Join for one or both. If you need an invite, ping me. New people are welcome to join.

Obsidian Sync now has a headless client, so you can sync vaults to a server without using the desktop app.

<p>Hello all!</p> <p>(Sorry, I could not resist with the title :laughing:)</p> <p>Today we are releasing NodeBB v4.9.0, on a Friday, toward the end of the day, because we like having our weekends ruined.</p> <p>As usual, we recommend you update to this stable version of NodeBB, not least because it fixes a federation issue accidentally introduced last month.</p> <p>There are a bunch of new features and usability improvements here, for both end users and admins. Federation improvements abound, as well as a few moderation upgrades. As usual, we fixed a ton of bugs, and even a couple open issues from the 2010s :scream:</p> <p>Here is a list of the changes and new features you should expect to see! [...]</p>

@mariusormarius Mastodon supports all standard activities and has a wide variety of clients. I don't find softwares with similar capabilities impressive, although I respect your work (the only ActivityPub server-client project that is not a vaporware).
I doubt that language choice makes much difference, and Rust is not a dynamically typed language anyway. The difficulty you might be facing is likely due to JSON-LD.
The thanks was for your input with regards to collection management.

What happens when you send a "Offer" message to an actor on Mastodon? Can they accept it?
Can I create a group actor on Mastodon? Can I use this actor to boost other actor's posts and have it visible on a Lemmy client?
How can a Mastodon client ask the server to get a collection of all images with an specific tag?
Oh this is nice!

@zkatkat The fact that most "recognized" software runs entertainment systems can be misleading.
Working with embedded engineering for well more than 30 years, I can say that there's software that can be deadly when badly crafted. Plus, I work on functional safety devices (IEC 61508), where safe and dependable systems are typically overengineered, in software as well. We may have redundant systems, safety analyzed and tested line by line, bit by bit, passing reviews and certification processes.
@zkatkat That example is so completely disgusting I think I might literally vomit. Fucking hell.

50 GW of datacentre demand queues up for UK grid access

today i'm unhappy about NixOS because: the GRUB graphical mode straight up crashes on this motherboard. not "cannot boot a kernel", not "errors out", but "crashes attempting to transition out of graphical mode to text mode" (whatever that even means with an EFI framebuffer)
I spent thirty fucking minutes trying to figure out what went wrong. the kernel boots if i extract it from the nix store and use the EFI stub. every option in the GRUB menu crashes. i had to edit it using the EFI text editor (it's a polyglot image which Linux mounts as iso9660 but EFI mounts as FAT32) to enable textmode unconditionally
(interestingly, after this every time i transition between GRUB menus it complains about "not being able to fit glyphs on screen". maybe that's what crashes it? no idea.)

The phrase "mainstream media" has become a pejorative term. We should instead use the phrase "professional media" to distinguish it from the chancers, Russian shills and partisan axe-grinders calling themselves "news sources" on the Internet.

So I had to completely abandon social media and personal projects and whatnot for a while in order to raise a young family and succeed in a demanding job and remain alive. Now that job is gone! Oh no! On the plus side, my unceremonious departure has created a great deal of shareholder value.
