I've deleted so many apps because the platform forces me to the app when I click a link. Medium, NYT, Pinterest, Reddit, etc.

Now Reddit has an non-dismissible popup demanding you download their app to continue scrolling. Fuck all the way off with that bullshit.

Reddit's fall from grace has been hard to watch. Reddit was my first real exposure to internet culture. The first time I went "viral" was on Reddit. I had a 15 year old account that I recently deleted.

The image displays a promotional graphic for the Reddit app, featuring the Reddit logo, an "Editor's Choice" badge, a five-star rating, and a call to action encouraging users to download the app for personalized content and community updates.

The simplest and IMO likeliest explanation for the export ban is that the US admin is pissing in Anthropic's coffee for being insufficiently subservient. If Anthropic doesn't grovel to spec, my bet is the next step would be to piss on Anthropic's prospective IPO directly

today i am looking at packing data structure nodes into pages while maintaining copy on write.

my unit of copy on write is the disk page. to make copy on write work you have to enforce a single incoming parent. we can do this, but we want to stuff multiple nodes into a page, meaning that if we move a node that's pointed to, we have to update the parent node to point to the new location.

there are a good number of indirections we could use to make things cheaper, i'm currently evaluating them

Heads up #ArchLinux users!

The "Atomic Arch" supply chain attack (June 9-12) compromised 400-1,500+ AUR packages with an infostealer & eBPF rootkit targeting credentials, browser data, and CI/CD secrets.

Attackers quietly adopted orphaned AUR packages and slipped in malicious PKGBUILDs. The community is actively cleaning up, but now's the time to act.

On a day like today it's worth remembering Dorothy Parker :

"I hate almost all rich people, but I think I’d be darling at it. At the moment, however, I like to think of Maurice Baring’s remark: “If you would know what the Lord God thinks of money, you have only to look at those to whom he gives it.” I realize that’s not much help when the wolf comes scratching at the door, but it’s a comfort."

One of my colleagues told me that I helped him + I was curious what he meant. He said that he cannot remember exactly what I said but that it made him get help to heal. I then recalled a conversation we had a little over a year ago. I had made a comment about how negatively he was talking about himself. I mentioned that I was working on that myself.

He thanked me + told me how strong + brave I am for making it through all the stuff I’ve had to deal with.

mental health treatment should not be synonymous with therapy alone. we should have a workforce that also reflects that. when our public discourse and workforce strategies ignore this, the consequences can lead to gaps in care for individuals without complex care needs, and persistent workforce shortages, despite having trained, regulated professionals ready to provide care.

also an aside: as it's not a human, i didn't feel bad about gaslighting it. in fact, gaslighting it seems to be a useful strategy to make it reconsider things.

i do wonder if some people will do this and then think it's perfectly okay to do it to humans too.

notice that rubber ducking in this manner:

a) requires a highly skilled operator to verify the output isn't bollocks
b) requires a lot of back and forth getting it to appear to be actually doing what what you wanted.
c) still requires you to go write the code yourself to make sure you didn't inadvertently let an error slip into your thinking process. because like it's a slot machine and it fucks with your cognitive biases.
