It looks like the Aubrey de Grey investigation is over…except, like the Black Knight, he hasn't noticed yet.

Preaching to the choir here but it's incredibly frustrating how it's impossible to link to a full thread on Twitter. Parts of it are always hidden in increasingly opaque ways.
This is what I have to deal with over on that site :thinkhappy:

Suddenly there's only one glass in my glasses and the other one is nowhere to be found.
I don't want to deal with this. 😑

It's nice how easy that is compared to C and Rust though.
Just switch on a comptime value.
pub fn home() ?[]const u8 {
return switch (std.builtin.os.tag) {
.freebsd,
.linux,
.macos,
.netbsd,
.openbsd,
.solaris => std.os.getenv("HOME"),

}
I'm about to turn 40, but I don't feel a day older than 80.
There sure are a lot of people in Vienna that smoke. Actual cigarettes.

"LeVar Burton Reads", in which the host typically reads one short story per episode, is an absolutely lovely podcast. I finally had to write a review of it, here:
https://lib.reviews/review/9f1c1b05-3db3-4ca5-bfe1-af5dfe2b7e82
In short, if you like fiction & listen to podcasts, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The review has links to some of my favorite episodes.

@cstanhope There’s a name for this phenomenon as a field of study: Agnotology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology
Think about the tobacco industry or oil industry publishing studies showing the safety of their products or denying climate change and getting this disinformation recycled into the public consciousness through lobbying and media efforts.
But, yeah, literally nobody is immune to propaganda and the construction of counter-knowledge within collective beliefs. It’s a huge problem! 😞
Another name has been rejected by the authorities: Vladimir Putin
Comment from one of the parents: If you see him in real life, you will see that it's a Putin.

This country is home to the third largest Chilean diaspora community, after Argentina and the United States.
That was a result of the US-backed coup that took place in Chile on the 11th of September, 1973.
Thinking about that today.
Read Grimrock as a music genre. I've even played both 1 and 2.

not sure if my instincts are off so lmk how you all feel about this: "in a hypothetical federated git platform, i would like it if conversations in a repository (eg issues and pull requests) were stored directly in the repository as opposed to in a database on the server"
