Fueled by what purpose: to work until five, to check emails at? Not a single goal mentioned — it's all about the process 🤔

Reshuffling intensifies — no one can be trusted 😨
Considering the past anti-COVID measures, including the video of meeting with flight attendants into which Putin was edited in, the level of paranoia he has to deal with now is truly scary.

> it's quite clear about what it does
How so? Okay, "--purge" indeed does sound dangerous, although hardly enough in my opinion, but what does something with "tmpfiles" in its name have to do with my home directory? 🤔
Not only it's counter-intuitive, it was added to the man page just three (!) days ago: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/33350/files — according to the log, months after the option itself was introduced!

If you subscribe to Fediblock alerts you will see amazing people who might ban the whole instance with reason "this looks suspicious" — it's the instance they with people from which they have never interacted personally, and none of their users have ever interacted — but they still spent time on exploring it to find a reason to ban, but have found none and decided to block nonetheless. Absolutely insane shit! 🤪

@kirby
There are people insane enough to want to ban you for being… too fucking blonde, and as soon as they get you on Fediblock those insane people who are worth talking to won't even know you exist. Resistance is futile 😩

When I'm calling for one of my cats, in most cases it's the other one that comes. Not bad by cat standards, but I suppose they can't be "calibrated" further 😹

It's exactly the kind of book on Rust I want, but the one who intended to use it for web microservices and picked up the first book in the nearest store, probably indeed goes insane reading all this 😂

I think it just demonstrates the anti-patterns like: this thing here is thread-unsafe — but if you don't care, you can still use it. It does a decent job explaining why there are a couple of dozen types for string, why there are boxes, arenas, rc, arc and their friends, in addition to regular pointers which you can still use, but you'd better not, if you can live with borrowing, lifetimes and all that.

I mean it's great in a way that it shows what's happening under the hood instead of "just use this crate", how smart pointers and reference counters save your ass, but why they might make things noticeably slower, but it feels weird, when every example shows how the language is against you doing things like that.
Knuth didn't come up with MIX to explain algorithms for nothing after all 😆

@p
Oh, for this stuff — sure! I'm currently reading a book, that touches systems programming in examples, and it gets explained how CHIP-8 works, how instructions are decoded, how arithmetics works, how calls work, the author goes on to explain how memory management works, what endian-ness is (for those who don't know it).
Weird shit is — it's a Rust book and all examples feel… AWKWARD to say the least, everything is wrapped in unsafe {}, system calls are used directly, etc 🤪

> I have used both languages for actual work.
Sure, both are viable, but despite not being new it's not like they are becoming household names… ever at this point, they are now "meme" languages, sure choice when you need a marginal language in a joke — that's what I mean by placing them in the same category, despite them being different.

It must be the instance, nothing sad about that thread in particular, it's a provocative post about Z80, but being a self-proclaimed hot take — it's supposed to be.
Or that account for the matter, I've never seen anything political there, it's purely technology-oriented. But anyway, here it is.
