Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Finished setting up https://cal.fiera.social/ an events calendar for DIY music in Vancouver. Go give it a look! You can follow it with your fediverse account if you want to keep up with events happening in the city!

strange take: I think there should be water lines run to bedrooms by where you'd put the bed so that you can hydrate easily from bed

I think the part that annoys me about the liberal response to fascism in the US isn't that they're trying to fight it in the courts - that's a good thing. The more counter-tactics, the better.
What annoys me is that a lot of liberals are *only* fighting it in the courts. It's not a part of a multi-pronged strategy, there's no calls for diverse (including direct) action from politicians, and there's no real cross-pollination between legal and direct action that I can see.
The whole thing overwhelmingly stinks of "we're going to hope for the best and let the legal system deal with it, so that we can continue pretending that we leave in a healthy democracy", ie. the "head in the sand" approach.
When what they *should* be doing is take every opportunity they can, direct action or otherwise, fire off all of them at once, and keep the different camps in contact to coordinate.

Bloplang Pull Request #48592: Add zip method to iterators 
This is a proposal to add the zip method to iterators. This would allow you to join two iterators together, alternating between results from both. E.g. tens.zip(hundreds) would give [10, 100, 20, 200, 30].... This has been the most requested feature on our wishlist for seven months, and my initial implementation here provides a 12% speed up on the test_cases/thousands_of_types.blop. 👍 532 👎 12 🚀 226 👀 114 😕 3
BlobBot says: Hi red_bean ! Thanks for opening a pull request to Bloplang! I've run your code, and found this: Maximum regression: 0.05%. Maximum improvement: 12.03%. I've assigned curly_brace 
to approve your code. Don't forget to leave a star! 👍 221 🚀 179 👀 12
BlopBot added the "BlopBot Seal of Approval" "No regressions" labels.
I've never heard of "zip" before. Googling it, it seems to be a compression algorithm? Not sure what this has to do with iterators. I suggest naming it interleave instead. 👍 23 👎 34
zip seems to be pretty widely accepted. For example, Rust and Python call it zip. 👍 27 😕 1
yeah i've never head of zip before. interleave is too long tho, how about weave 👍 54 👎 27

How about spritz? In the idiolect of English spoken by my Discord server, spritz is very commonly used to refer to mixing things together. EDIT If you're going to laugh react, please leave a comment explaining why. 👍 5 😆 143
wtf is a spritz 👎 5 😕 26

That's a bug with your Linux distribution’s zip command, which has nothing to do with Bloplang. Open a thread on the Fedora forums to discuss that, although they'll probably tell you that Fedora 32 is EOL. 👍 66
Okay, so we have 17 votes in favour of zip, 12 for weave, 5 for spritz, and somehow only 2 for interleave. Oh, and 1 each for sprinkle, intersperse_at_least_two_iterators_with_each_other, and sum. I'm beginning to suspect botting. 👍 7 😕 12
Hey read bean - this pull request is out of sync with main. Could you rebase on top of the twelve thousand commits that have occurred since you opened this? Thanks! 👍 63 🚀 2
:gale: whats stoping this from being merged? can we get an eta 👍 12 😕 2
It's mostly a debate on the name to use. I'm not sure why people aren't voting for interleave. I've provided numerous arguments as to why it's the obvious option, and I've even linked a conversation with ChatGPT 4-o proving that it makes the most sense. Sigh. 👍 2 😕 70 😆 11

One of my favorite orgs that doesn't get enough attention is glia, which maintains a GitHub org filled with open source medical devices such as this stethoscope or this otoscope. All their projects are all licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License. This is in addition to their actual sending of doctors and medical staff to war zones and underprivileged areas.
You can donate to them directly here:

Great, apparently today is one of those days where every single attempt at focusing is foiled. Some software suddenly breaks, or someone down the street suddenly starts hammering on something, and so on, and so forth.
I hate days like this.

Wie is er in het bezit van het boekenweek geschenk "De Krater" van Gerwin van der Werf?
Bij enkele exemplaren in mijn directe omgeving, is het met drukken mis gegaan op pagina 27, waardoor er woorden en zelfs een zinsdeel weggevallen zijn.
Wie heeft een exemplaar waar wél alles leesbaar is op pagina 27?
Ah great, and Fractal is doing the typical GNOME thing of failing to work but not giving you any kind of useful error message whatsoever, so no way to figure out what exactly the problem is

Re Microsoft win 10 machines.
Don't believe Microsoft
"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.
This is criminal.
Recycle to Linux.
Why is Element such garbage

I really wish it were wider knowledge that most of the content on Forbes.com is basically unreviewed blogging that didn't go through an editorial process. I still see a lot of people trust random posts they see there because they believe it's a business publication with actual reporters and editors. *Some* of the content is but a lot sure isn’t!
I don't blame individuals for not knowing, but I definitely think a lot of people'd be able to judge stuff better if they did.
Kijk, als er nou een goede reden is om er geen bouwmarkt bij te bouwen, prima. Maar dit lijkt niet meer te zijn dan "matige winkelketens doen huilie omdat ze nu echt moeten gaan concurreren i.p.v. de enige optie te zijn".
