I finished off Higurashi vol 4. It was a sort of side-story that looked at the protests against the Hinamizawa dam that happened a few years before the events of the main game. It wasn't too suspenseful because it was being told in retrospect from 2 years after the main games, though

22. American Psycho (2000). idk why this one didn't really appear on my radar until a few years after release. It's always weird finally seeing something that's been so extensively clipped and quoted. It definitely makes it harder to evaluate as a whole. The gay panic scene was a great surprise, though. I'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more often.

OK, I admit, I just don't get it. Someone said they wanted to hear from a programmer over 40, and I said I was one (https://mastodon.social/@isagalaev/111279615415000223). Now, this reply got five favorites in a short time. Why? Living to 45 is not the greatest achievement, neither staying in one profession for some years. I didn't say anything about being happy or unhappy about it… So I don't get what people are so excited about?

The move to make Links on Twitter (I refuse to call it "X" - the sheer childishness of the word...) display only article images, without the incredibly important and salient headline attached, was by far the worst decision made here, out of a LITANY of possible candidates.

Any > 40-year old developers out there that'd like to share their perspective?
How did you grow (technically, managing, etc...)? Picked up fields over others (embeded systems over web app, for instance)?
Would love to connect!

Mastodon FeedI keep nerdsniping myself. Or more like dropping a nerdgrenade on myself.
I made gif.ski use just LZW code from gifsicle, not all of the library. So I thought it's just a couple of functions - should be easy to port to #Rustlang.
c2rust was too annoying to use (needs some obscure Python tool for no good reason), so I dusted off my old transpiler (https://lib.rs/crates/citrus). But it hacks LLVM v4 internals, because libclang sucked, so now I'm reinventing bindgen and libclang in newer LLVM.

Mastodon FeedSomehow I wanted to doodle a character with multiple eyes.. No idea where that came from, but it was fun. Got some Gary Numan "My Name Is Ruin" in my head, that might have influenced the tattered fabric. :blobcat_nwn:

- Frontal portrait drawing done in black and red pen. The character has shoulder length hair, swept to one side. They have six eyes, an additional pair above and below the regular human eye position. They have lines painted on their face: straight downwards, below the lowest set of eyes, and along the lower lip and chin. On the center of their forehead a stylized eye is drawn, with lines leading to it from the side of their head, giving it a diadem style look. Their light turtleneck clothing is disintegrating downwards, getting all tattered. They are wearing a necklace with an eye pendant. An oval black shape in the background gives contrast to the otherwise red shaded sketch. (remote)

It's kinda coming true again! Around 2015 I started to notice that a lot of new, R-rated genre trash that would've had a lot of nudity in the 80s was pretty chaste and modest.
We're back to a film culture where you're a lot more likely to see nudity in a movie like Hereditary than a movie where Jason Statham plays a rogue hitman.
