For touchHLE in particular, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and many other machine-learning-based systems are at best unhelpful, wasting my time with coherent-looking nonsense, and at worst sabotage the project by sneakily violating copyright. They actively make my life worse.

Spritely Goblins v0.11.0 released today!!! https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-goblins-v0110-released-time-travel-distributed-debugging-and-more.html
The highlight feature here is the incredible debugger @dthompson has made seeing its first public release! It's hard to explain what's so cool about it without delving into how OCaps work, but trust me - it's extremely impressive! There are a variety of other "bug fixes and improvements" as well, so check it out!
oh yeah also my work with spritely got released too neat

San Francisco stores: We are closing because of crime! Unless you give us a huge tax break hint hint.
SF Mayor: We can't give you a tax break because we spent all our money on police. Would you like some extra police instead?
Stores: Well actually we may have been fibbing a little about the crime, which statistics show is in fact down. But we really could use that tax break.
Mayor: More police it is!

%edit is great feature of ipython that lets you edit the function you defined in the shell by its name
Not being able to save all the emails from a search result in Thunderbird sucks! Had to open them all and save one by one.

I use #Python for small tasks all the time. Yesterday I needed to extract data from a dozen of similarly formatted emails, so I fired up ipython and used:
- email.parser: parse .eml files
- quopri: decode into normal text
- re: pick out the parts I needed
- datetime.strptime: parse and reformat dates
- Path.glob: suck up all .eml files from a directory
- csv.DictWriter: dump the final fileAll of it is in the standard library, and I didn't even have to leave the shell.

It's definitely true that a 500-line function is the wrong way to get a job done.
But 100 5-line functions is also the wrong way.

This is a more nuanced take with a perfect summation in the lede: "the least skilled people know how much they don’t know, but everyone thinks they are better than average". A subtle difference, and worth a read at that.

Today on Oxide and Friends, @ahl and @bcantrill will be joined by @mjk to talk about the network behind the network in the Oxide rack: a second, (relatively) lower speed network that connects the service processors in the machine. Matt will regale with details of implementing it all -- including (of course?) interfacing with an 8051 that we didn't know that we had!

Every time they show up and kill or capture a mass shooter, or they kill themseves, all the newspaper stories end by quoting the local police saying, “There is no longer any threat to the public.”
They’ve told us there was no longer any threat to the public 203 times so far this year.
I’m starting to think there might still be a danger to the public.
