   Well, yes; that's great.

   It doesn't mean I don't like the idea of actual AI, but I'd like it to (exhaustively) check (or verify, ie, think dezyne.org) and correct my work, not the other way around.

   Good vouch for Bill's design chops, though:

   "In Odin, I have atomic operations, but I don't have atomic types but I've been considering the types."

   This is actually the correct direction of how to design atomics. Atomic operations are the fundamental, hardware-mirroring, low-level design. But then you put types on it for the same reason that Ryan advocated for shortened names: it's such a ridiculously common operation, and certain objects will never, ever be modified non-atomically, ever, and anytime you'd want the benefits of non-atomics you want it done safely from the comfort of an optimizing compiler that's proven all the bits necessary to just start doing shit non-atomically where it matters. C++ and C got this wrong in their designs, they started with atomic objects, but needed atomic "accesses" (operations).

   Linus also complained about this on the LKML, and C++ fixed it with atomic_ref in C++26. C has no fix for this, because it doesn't have references and because _Atomic(T)* and _Atomic T* are "pointer to atomic object T" and _Atomic(T*) is just "atomic pointer to object T" (e.g., just the accesses to the pointer are atomic).

   Not great.

   It is, unfortunately, something that is entirely unrepresentable in C at the moment. It needs to be fixed, but it won't for quite some time I'm sure because C is slow as balls to recognizing its mistakes and moving to fix them. Alas!

   Removing the left margin somehow looks better now. I will use it. :neofox_3c:

   Limiting the bottom hashtags is great.

   It would be nice if the bottom hashtags inherited their color from the links.

   The SF Dept of Public Health is hiring a director for their data team https://careers.sf.gov/role/?id=3743990007820346

   If you look at 'role type' it is a permanent civil service job which is great.It just takes an ass long time to get hired and there is a pretty arcane process. (Almost all city jobs *are* union jobs, but permanent civil service jobs have far more protections)

   I really feel like Fuji Instax film is SO MUCH NICER than Polaroid color (and way cheaper also) but their dinky plastic Instax cameras are... really not great.

   It's much better to just get an Instax printer or something. I shoot Instax using a Nons back on my Hasselblad which is probably too weird for going to parties (compared to having a tiny plastic camera)

   @molly0xfff @mkj yeah, and I think that's what most should do. Extremely cheap, generally migratable, and about the only enshittification risk is ICANN which is pretty acceptable. POSSE is great.

   It is a shame POSSE social networking isn't a thing yet. Outside very small niches anyway.
