You know, it's been ages since I complained about Rust compile times, even internally to myself while watching a large project build.
Kudos to the peeps who worked on compile times steadily through the years!
I say this out loud randomly because sometimes the only thanks people get for work like this is silence where there used to be grumbling.

🌈 A 12-person protest against a drag event in Kentville, NS, was answered by hundreds of LGBTQ+ folks and allies in a peaceful rally to support "Drag Me to Dinner". https://wayves.ca/kentville-drag-dinner-2023-06-support
🌈 A right wing bigotry rally of 3 people in Dartmouth, NS, eclipsed by a 30-person counter-protest. The sad-looking, damp fascists gave up and went home after several rounds of lively mockery. https://wayves.ca/anti-bigotry-rally-halifax-2023-06

I'm sick of hearing from CCP apologist Tankies who call commemorating a massacre "misinformation".
Fuck you all.
Here's John Simpson, former International Editor at the BBC, WHO WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING THERE. Shut your holes.
"34 years ago in Beijing I saw the Tiananmen massacre unfold, from the first approach of the Chinese army APCs to the tank-defying man with the shopping bags. Each year bots and stooges say it didn’t happen. It did. I watched 40 people die in front of me."

My list of #WWDC tips. Some only apply to people who are there in person.
- Drink lots of water. Always!
- Wear sunscreen, wear a hat, and stay in the shade when you can
- Talk to people! Ask them what they’re excited about; do not assume someone isn’t “technical”
- This is a work context for most people, so don’t flirt or otherwise make people uncomfortable
- Do not give anyone shit about wearing a mask. (Consider wearing one yourself!)

Jack boosting the lunatic RFK Jr. Is no surprise. Entrepreneurs, and particularly techbrahs, are vulnerable to the great-man-outsider narratives because they see it as resonating with their own stories. They’re suckers for all sorts of Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs.

one might well ask if *they* have finished domesticating *us*
“the personality of infected men showed lower superego strength (rule consciousness) and higher vigilance …men were more likely to disregard rules and were more expedient, suspicious, jealous, and dogmatic. The personality of infected women, by contrast, showed higher warmth and higher superego strength… more warm hearted, outgoing, conscientious, persistent, and moralistic. Both men and women had significantly higher apprehension…”
