Students are trying to drag me into a debate. I'm not finding the subject compelling, but I'm a sucker for students.

I'm a vac seen denier.
Mastodon FeedWorking with compression algorithms is tough, because if the data is wrong by even a single bit, it becomes completely unreadable garbage.
My day today was “oh no, I broke it, nothing works, I can’t fix it, noooo, gaaaaaah,
…oh, I just need to swap two lines.”

I don't know if quote toots are a thing on masto, but I think I'm just SAD about web stuff, in general. That we haven't moved in a positive direction, for like a decade now, and all the hot frameworks just razed everything that came before.
It's just so miserable and BORING that we're re-treading to get back to 2010.
The trend-line is why I gave up eng. ☹️ Welcome to my teenage angst era v2.

1. We're not sure this parcel actually exists.
2. It's arrived.
Sometimes it never makes it to step 2.

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. Even Advertisers (who he needs) said they hated it, but the change still went ahead. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/10/musk-makes-news-links-on-twitter-aka-x-less-useful-by-removing-headlines/
