It can be debilitating though

sorry, just because you made it look like not-a-lisp doesn't mean it's suddenly a fucking ML!

Thanks to the power of Rust's type system, we only need to audit these two small, self-contained building blocks. As long as they are memory-safe, the rest of the codebase is guaranteed to be memory-safe as well.

sorry, what? how do we end up wondering if simd is to be safe?

Hello friends! I revamped my resume to focus squarely on my 20+ years of experience as a frontend engineer in the hopes of fitting into a specific role. I have many backend skills as well, but browser-focused dev & UX is my happy place.

I'm definitely comfortable working on contract, but I'm also open to FTE if remote work is possible (I'm based in Portland, OR and unable to relocate).

I ❤️ accessibility, performance, and respect for all users.

Sometimes as leftists, we can get caught up in all the horrors and forget that there is still tremendous beauty and wonder in this world.

The media would have us believe that there is danger lurking around every corner, but there are over 8 billion people on Earth, and each of those individuals took love and nurturing to be here.

We do not need heroes. Collectively, we can all make a difference in bending the arc towards humanity and justice.

Never let the bastards grind you down.

after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as
- very mid ui design
- kinda floaty feeling
- unpolished vibe
android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on "locked down user hostility". overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders

We gain on average 800 new followers per year, but in the last year (since before Linus made the GenAI-code-in-Linux posts) we gained around 1200.

It's great to see the wave of new interest. We're a community that's had 30 years to develop its culture, and things here might work a little bit differently than you expect. But don't let that discourage you from getting involved. This mastodon-account-manager first became a developer in 2018, and it's easily one of the best things she ever did.

Normally it takes less time for FB to copy Google, but speed-running Duplex 8 years later is still fun to watch.

Ducking autocomplete.

Dear Lazyweb,

There are folks in macOS/iOS "Contacts" whom I haven't emailed in years. How do I make them stop being the first completion? I would prefer to not have to shitcan their contact info entirely, but I'm sick of almost accidentally emailing the wrong person.

*"Remove from previous recipients list"* does not fix it. They show up as completions anyway.
