Location - Phoenix. Remote is acceptable. I could consider relocating for the right job. Technologies: C, C++, Rust, Python, Lua, C#, shell, heavy embedded Linux experience, wrote an init system in C when I was a teenager. I can say that I&

I am delighted to inform CrowdStrike that they have just done additional, extensive, damage to their brand, and will no doubt have just emboldened those who were tempted to sue them. Your unethical behavior and abuse of the DMCA will be use

They will not fix this. Indeed, regulation is required, but meaningful change requires a functioning, coherent government with institutions that are not fully enclosed in regulatory capture. The United States is falling apart, and it is no

Write your own. Wrote one fairly recently in good-ole-sepples that uses UNIX domain sockets and pushes around half a gigabyte a second on weak ARM hardware. Domain sockets are great. Shared memory is even better. If you need a portable solu

Rust intends to force unsafe blocks in unsafe functions(github.com)

Rust apparently wants to reverse its warning logic and instead of banning unsafe{} inside unsafe fn(), they want to require it and make it a hard error.

It's true, what intelligence I have (not particularly impressive) has already caused me enormous suffering. Yet, there's this piece inside me that tells me that "the only way out, is through".

Sometimes, I think about what I really want. What I want most in the universe, for myself. There's plenty I want for everyone else. I seldom let myself think about what would be good for me lately. Sometimes, like tonight, I do know wh

Finally, a software fad that I actually want to support! About time I get one! SQLite is more than good enough for an awful lot of things. Most of the time that I do see software using MariaDB etc, I think to myself "they didn't n

My personal rule of thumb is that if someone is making gurglings about X possibly happening in the future, I will probably take some steps to make it easier if X does indeed happen in the future. If it's something I think is pretty m

On every PC I have, the Ukraine "live feed" video at the top manages to start playing on its own as soon as I'm not looking. It doesn't do it at predictable times, but it usually does it as soon as I scroll down a bit, s

As someone who uses both Rust and C++ frequently with a good understanding of both languages, I can say that Rust is for the mostpart more pleasant to work in, but Rust's handicap is that it makes working in raw pointers when you reall

Haskell gives me headaches. I write a lot of Rust, which has elements of both. I think their approach is pretty good, though sometimes regular inheritance would just be easier. I don't hate OOP. I don't love it either. I tend to w

Eh. I just cast both to a bigger integer type where possible, which in practice, is almost always. So if I'm averaging two uint32_ts, I just cast them to uint64_t beforehand. Or in Rust, with its lovely native support for 128-bit integ

Can you still install Linux on the new switches? If so, I might have an interest in one. If not, it's just more walled garden garbage.

The big issue I had with learning Rust is not the simple stuff -- I could write safe Rust fairly quickly. The problem I continue to have is that many internal behaviors of the language are totally undocumented and inexplicable. For example,

I suppose for OS utilities targeting a specific platform only, that makes sense. But for portability, you sure as shit shouldn't be trying to write a custom GUI using the native OS GUI toolkit for all three platforms. It's surpris

While that may be partly true, Electron inherently attracts low-skilled, incompetent programmers due to its 'easiness', while in reality JS isn't that much easier than, say, Python. Not only do you have to deal with dumber pr

The company I work for hired several incompetent devs who wrote an abortion of an Electron client. It very nearly killed the company. I finally convinced the boss to let me rewrite it in Qt, and now our feedback is far, far more positive on

Just reading the title of this post gave me a most perverse hearty laugh. I strongly applaud the deranged motherfucker who decided that implementing a quantum computer in SQL was worth the effort. Next up: D-Wave emulator in COBOL.

Interesting. I've hit this bug before, but not often in Python as far as I can remember. I guess if I need a huge list of something, I'm more likely to look to a dict than use a list with normal indexes.

The Church of Satan was on the right track in some areas (such as viewing Abrahamic God as evil and nonexistent), but in others it is clear that it is an incoherent "first attempt" with lots of contradictory statements, such as th
