"Making all code look the same" continues to baffle me as a goal.
The differences between code are specifically what helps to understand the intention of the author and the way they got there! It's really helpful for building an understanding!
golang things (2)
The auditor in me is not very happy about this
golang things
Reading some Golang code and it sure seems very C-brained in terms of "oh just write your own buffer handling and thread synchronization routines, it'll be fine"

TV show idea
A monster of the week show, crossed with ground hog day. Each episode is the same day, but the monster they fight is different each time. Slowly the team start to realise they are in a time loop over the course of the series. Vague memories of fighting a similar monster before. "Do I know you? You seem familiar" they say having met for the 14th time.

Get good at woodworking. There are two major growth industries in our future
1. Guillotines & Gibbets
2. Kink furniture
First, we deal with the billionaires. Then we fuck.

Boost if you're touch-starved and ravenously horny, or if you disapprove of payment processors being used as instruments to silence sexual expression.

Apparently a Valve employee who works on the amdgpu project is going to implement support for older AMD cards, including analog ports.
In unrelated news, Valve has expressed an interest in making SteamOS run on non-Valve systems.
In unrelated news, Windows 10 is going EOL very soon.
... is Valve planning what I think they're planning?
Well, the "I am leaving #Matrix and this is why" blogposts are starting to appear.
I'm worried that it's reached the trust thermocline, and I'm not sure there's any coming back from this.

trans parenting question
soon after starting HRT, I noticed a positive emotional shift when it comes to my child. there's more joy, and I often catch myself lost in thought, thinking about my little one, and I'm smiling and happy. that's new. that didn't happen before.
my question is this: is this kind of happiness a mom thing that estrogen allows me to experience? or is it a parent thing independent from gender, and I'm just more authentically myself that I now have the emotional bandwidth to feel it?
parents of all kinds, please let me know if that's a thing you experience!

these people can't even be bothered to put air filters in classrooms to protect kids but banning them from the internet is so important? fuck off

What is with this sudden trend to kick anyone under 18 off the internet? Disgusting
It occurs to me that even though developers are constantly talking about Golang and there's a decent amount of FOSS projects using it... I never see it mentioned in job listings that I run across by happenstance. Python, JS, Perl, C/C++, C#, Rust... but never Golang.
Why is that?

David Graeber always mentioned work is mostly about caring and helping. Caring and helping others.

I cannot stress enough how taking food from a supermarket is a victimless crime. These stores throw out several magnitudes more food than they could ever "lose" through shoplifting.
All chain supermarkets in Germany are owned by some of the richest dozen or so families in the country. And over the last two years and change, they raised prices for basic things such as flour, pasta, bread, cooking oil etc. by at least 50%, sometimes 100% or more, while production cost has only risen marginally. These people are doing fine for themselves. I doubt that the situation is any different for supermarkets in most other countries

Not saying you absolutely have to do it if you're in that situation. There are a million valid reasons for not wanting to or not being able to take food from a supermarket. This is more of a retort at a privileged smartass I read on here earlier today who portrayed shoplifting for food as some kind of moral failing

When you're poor and can't feed yourself, it is more moral to simply go to a supermarket and take food from there
Supermarkets have unlimited food. The companies have infinity money
Food banks, charities, your friends and family, etc. also have limited resources. They may need the money themselves. If you take food from a supermarket, that means there's more food and money left at those places which can be used by people who can't do it
