I think there’s absolutely a use case for LLMs in programming as long as ansible still exists. That shit is NOT fun to write

I’m planning a first release for scheme-rs in the coming month. Hopefully the thing that pleases people the most is the super deep documentation

Screw it, I‘ll implement continuation marks
I _think_ I managed to get proper backtraces in scheme-rs, which is pretty nice. One of the big things I needed to fix before releasing the first version

I love the line “these closures left … entire collections of digital assets … practically useless.” So the value of the decentralized digital assets was predicated entirely on the support of a centralized developer? Wasn’t that the entire thing this technology was supposed to prevent?
i love the implication that crypto gaming was fundamentally sound and only died because VCs failed to manifest it

For the longest time I've had two partitions on my computer, a 500gb Windows and 500gb Linux. I'm thinking of just blowing away the windows partition and upgrading to 8tb all Linux. I don't really need Windows for anything these days and the desktop is pretty degraded

Hmm I'd like Lean 4 a bit more if the syntax was easier to understand - I know! I'll make it a LISP!

yes, I contributed approximately $0.0001 to Jake Paul's net worth by watching a youtube video of him get punched in the face. I admit it. I'm not proud of it, but it was worth it

What’s the state of the art for rendering in GTK applications? a while ago I tried using dmabuf and couldn’t get it working. I’m asking because it might finally be time to start working on my dream text editor

No judgement from me here. I’m just glad everyone is having a good time and is staying safe out there
sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Going through the long and arduous process of finishing and documenting (the language, the standard library API, and embedding API) for scheme-rs. Gonna take a while but it will be soooo satisfying when I'm done.
