you know how when you're a kid, you can't really make permanent mistakes? if you do it's kinda your parents fault, you know? until you become a teenager and then you start doing things like driving a car, having sex, saying yes or no to drugs, and all the sudden your choices are permanent for your entire life

I feel like humanity itself has entered its teenage years.

Sometimes, people are alright.

@lritter I have made it to runtime

helps that I'm using a programming language that doesn't offload half its language implementation into the linker 😏

🤡

bunch of bot accounts on @Codeberg are trolling projects, posting LLM generated issues based on the readme, ridiculing the projects

not cool

examples:

https://codeberg.org/correctmane417?tab=activity

https://codeberg.org/precociousbooming519?tab=activity

all of these UI elements have to do with the current issue that the user is looking at, except one.

they *really* want to shove this shit down people's throats.

@raggi @lanodan @cadey I was 9 years old when this email was sent

glibc devs been vibe coding since the 1990s

github used to be pretty stable, now it's very glitchy all the time

how's that pivot to AI going

ah, yes, `void *mustbezero_2`. we've all been there, amirite

oh god, I fell behind by a couple days and now I've been doing 100 cards per day with no new lessons and still the debt keeps growing

@feld thanks, I read the paper just now and it helped me to understand why some measurements were favorable and others not - specifically the pattern of one thread allocating and another thread freeing in my simple design will result in ever-growing RSS

I know I "should" start with the paper but for me papers are too boring until I've already tried from first principles

last night I had an idea for a fast multi-threaded allocator, whipped it up, and at first glance it outperforms glibc.

need to do some more testing, but it's looking good so far

it's only 212 lines of code!

@indutny this one tickled me last week:

やば！「返信ください」がタイプミスでオートコレクトされて「変死してください」になってた。

Yikes! "Please reply" was mistyped and autocorrected to "Please die unnaturally."

feels like every day, 10 things are added to my life's "todo list", and I get 1-2 things done.

@sobeston @kristoff some Americans claim to not love ranch on their pizza however they are in denial and just trying to act cool

@cnx I'm sure it's an inevitability, hoping to eek out a few more years before undergoing that suffering

@bluegreenandfree @ct_bergstrom if you say people were a mistake, you've become the villain
