This is a public service announcement to never ever use Oracle

@jjcelery seconded. been doing this for a while and it is great.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Gilette Venus Smooth and Gilette Mach 3 blades and handles are interchangeable 🪄

Mach 3 blades are anywhere between 50c and €1 cheaper per blade than even most basic Venus blades and they are WAY sharper and give a smoother shave with a little extra care.

Venus handles are WAY more comfortable to hold, especially when wet.

Do with this information what you will.

@jellyfriend the beaver transit pipes update should fix it tbh. They just get injured from walking too much sometimes.🦫

Timberborn is a mastapeece 🤌💯💯

So many injured beavers.

@so_treu it is very painful when people expect me to be friendly and cordial with white queer war profiteers.

my phone spellcheck things catagoey is a word, but only somtimes? categorically ridiculous.

Windows devs explicitly state all your program's dependencies including language runtimes, system patches, and assorted middleware challenge: yet to be beaten. Any% for this category: empty.

90% of 'it doesn't work because you are on Linux' complaints are just Windows devs *assuming* that *everyone* has the same dependencies installed and failing to document it. If you can't be assed to actually track it, setup a minimal windows VM that finally runs it (trial and error the pre-reqs) and fucking find out. Windows reproducibility is garbage.

Linux users are better at documenting what makes windows programs run than their actual windows devs. Just sayin'.

I have mastered posts that serve as their own apology. I am immortal.

silly, self-deprecating, typos 

sory for posting that besties... its was my evil yakubian programming. I will try to be beter!!!!.! 😭

As I do each morning, I was looking over my notes from yesterday and, no kidding, there is one that reads "I somehow didn’t finish my" — and that's it. I have no idea what it was going to say in full, not even with the context of the other notes around the half-sentence.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see

1. The data it was trained and evaluated on

2. The code

3. The model architecture

4. The model weights.

DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

C/C++ musing 

I wonder if spawning multiple threads to read files at partitioned offsets and doing merging work to put it back together makes sense when parsing sufficiently large text files... Maybe with pread() I could make something fast, partititioning at units of filesystem block size to avoid cache misses... However I am not sure all the code involved would have thread-safe varieties.

doesn't your microwave have a cabbage setting??
