@Sharksonaplane on that note: I've been boycotting Amazon for 5+ years, and surprisingly there have been maybe 2-3 times where it's been more than mildly inconvenient. One was when I was gifted a Ring device and had to ask to exchange it bc I didn't want Amazon systems in my home, bit awkward. But the rest of the time it's just a bit of extra friction.
For reference, at least 2.5 of those years I was living in the US, and 3 in the Netherlands.

War
Fuck
I hate how unaware USians are of how it feels to have war happening in your own land.
Joking about WW3 naively, with the underlying security that they won't be the one to flee, leave everything behind, give up on their hopes and dreams, have friends and family disappear, be maimed, tortured and die - only if they volunteer for the last one.
This is a scary subject, don't let the political buffoons convince you it's not

Proposal: every million dollars in wealth gets you a ticket in the anti-lottery. Every month, there's a draw, and whoever's ticket is drawn has all of their wealth except 800k confiscated, and redistributed evenly across all citizens.

This codebase does not spark joy
Oh well. If nothing else, I've come out of this with a bunch of nice new debugging tools.
So, this change fixes the bug. In my reduced testcase. But not in my actual code...
There is apparently a *second* race condition in there somewhere?!
That's going to be tomorrow me's problem...
I wasn't kidding about the misery thing: https://git.cryto.net/joepie91/push-buffer/commit/9abf7b2631abc90d113c0d646074109810029f31

I think a lot about the formative experience of first getting on tumblr and reading posts from angry radicals and going "well I don't like this but I can't find any real faults in their arguments that don't boil down to my discomfort" and I want everyone to have to confront that

I think one of the most basic skills to cultivate is to hear something you don't like, acknowledge you are reacting to it negatively, and still then try to assess it rationally

I feel like it's important to understand that we are fundamentally creatures of emotion and instinct but that doesn't mean we can't live a life of reason and science
Just one more async queue abstraction bro, just one more, then I'll solve async queue management forever
And it involves this miserable pile of async complexity: https://www.npmjs.com/package/push-buffer
(And that's already the nth revision I made of that package, turns out this is just a very annoying problem to find a reliable and sufficiently flexible solution for.)
At least the problem *probably* isn't with push-buffer itself this time, but rather with something using it, but I still have to read annoying push-buffer logs to work it out...

btw cupcakke managed to donate 15k to palestinian children's relief fund and she made all that by making songs about smacking her ass like a drum so if you ever feel like your art can never make a positive change or too weird to be cool, you're wrong
I have been trying to track down the same bug for the past 5 hours or so, and nothing has helped. I've implemented debugging tools, reduced the problem case, tried many variations to see what influences the behaviour, improved logging, even did a diff between full-blast "log absolutely everything" output to play spot the differences between the broken and working case...
And I *still* have no idea where it's breaking.

Liberals if you love democracy so much why don't you establish it in the workplace?

the bus I’m on still has a city of toronto “stay warm” PSA from the winter which I can’t stop staring at as I sweat absolute buckets from this heat wave #dlws

I'm repeating this call for support, anyone wants to stay up all night in a beautiful summer night chasing off Nazi cowards along with some fierce immigrants, go to Witten at any point, even at night
