Once again it’s demonstrated that the biggest fans of AI coding are formerly senior engineers who have fallen behind and are struggling for relevance and hoping the giant random shit generator in the cloud will help close the gap for them. It won’t. :subtoot:

“The venerable Notepad++ text editor began as a more capable version of the classic Windows Notepad. It was created in 2003 by Don Ho, who continues to be its primary author and maintainer, and it has been a Windows-exclusive app throughout its existence.

I’m not a devoted user of the app, but I was aware of its history, which is why I was surprised to see news of a ‘Notepad++ for Mac’ port making the rounds last week.

Apparently, this news surprised Ho as well, who claims that the Mac version and its author, Andrey Letov, are ‘using the Notepad++ trademark (the name) without permission.’”

It's so mind blowing that our brains evolved to be able to spot a hot drop of grease darting towards our eye in time to close it. That's some impressive latency.

It's also fucking hilarious when you have an environment variable with a non-UTF-8 byte in it.

@blogdiva The methane-breathing space aliens of the media conglomerates resent that physical venues exist, and want us all to be interchangeable cogs to deliver the "last mile" of Livenation Extruded Entertainment Product pink slime, so habituating people to watching big TV screens does track.

I flew it once, while on book tour, because it was the only way to get out of Oakland for my next destination. It was cheap, uncomfortable and dispiriting, no pun initially intended, and I was glad not to have had to fly the airline again. Now I won't ever have to. It's not a great situation for people who relied on the airline or its employees, but also not a surprise.

Anyone know a good way to bulk-buy lithium battery packs to charge phones in the US? Unhoused folks need them since opportunities to charge are limited, as is the battery life of the kinds of phones they can afford. Quantity 10-ish, but if anyone in #Pittsburgh wants to go in on a bigger buy I'd be down.

@adele a ajouté la localisation en français (ainsi que en, es et de) dans son client web #Fediverse léger #SmolFedi

C'est une appli web écrite en php, sans javascript côté client et qui fonctionne plutôt bien. La dernière version, en français si ça vous intéresse, est vraiment pas mal. Ça s'installe sur n'importe quelle stack web PHP/sqlite. Vous pouvez y jeter un œil sur l'instance de demo : https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny.

Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch.

But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not:

PS. I'm not dunking on Rust. It's just that... starting over from scratch has its hidden costs.

I think there may be some confusion--I've specified half chest width, which is what's listed on the supplier data sheet. This is the distance from one seam to the other horizontally. A full circumference would be double that number.
