Hey, all open space/public access advocates: tonight Mission Greenway appears before the Board of Appeals to explain why many Mission residents don't want an iron gate and a private commerical parking lot to become the fate of one of the biggest parcels in the Mission. We'd love it if you could join us.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn't really do anything but man the "freedom of speech" folks are awfully silent regarding Zooey Zephyr eh?

 “as soon as my wife answered the door they aggressively asked for me by my full name… announced themselves as the Pinkerton Agency (which I am very familiar with their reputation), and said they were there to recover ‘stolen goods’.” After his wife asked them to wait outside, Cannon says that they “forced themselves” at least partially through the door and prevented her from closing the door all the way.

"I want," the man said to the art robot, and then described an image in some detail.
"Certainly," said the art robot. A printout came out of its chest.
"Thank y- Hey! What's this?"
"A list of artists who make images of the kind you describe, and who are accepting commissions."

Today I learned that llvm-mca exists. It's a tool that annotates assembly with instruction latency and throughput information, as well as estimated utilization of various CPU resources.

Today I also learned that the godbolt.org Compiler Explorer has support for llvm-mca.

This means, if one ever needs to micro-optimize some code snippet taking latency/throughput into account, one can simply do that directly in the browser. Amazing.

You can, and I cannot stress this enough, have however many names and whatever names you like

Like, especially on fedi. You can say “hey, thinking about trying a new name, can someone call me <x>?” and people will climb in your replies helping you feel it out.

I enable #telemetry in projects I trust if it's opt-in.

I disable telemetry in *any* project, even trustworthy ones, if it's opt-out.

If you think my usage data is valuable for you, no matter how minimal and how anonymous, you could at least ask.

Like, that's just good manners.

HN comment thread about Mastodon: guy talking about the early 00's chats and forums as barely thriving and only being used by a few people until Facebook came and brought the mainstream online.

Another answers that the net was already thriving for him back then. He gets dismissed with "Many of us software devs are a different sort".

Dude. It was everyone from children to soccer moms to my grandma. The primary draw at the time was email and once they got that they also visited forums and set up terrible GeoCities homepages about their cat. Yahoo! was exploding, Amazon was starting, pets.com was collapsing and people wouldn't shut up about eBay.

Non-techies were very much online in the 00's and they didn't need a centralized social network to do it.

It's so weird go see recent history being rewritten like that, this is barely 20 years ago.

I am going to go out on a limb (not) and say that I think CWs are a great idea, and that people should use them whenever they want *and* should also consider what their followers might reasonably want to be CW'd. That might not mean CWing everything that everyone wants, but being community minded.

I am also a fan of users muting and blocking as and when they see fit.

I know this will put off some people, but to me a basic degree of consideration for others is fundamental.
