THE BELL JAR

HARD ❌

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

Why don't cargo ships use the Rust programing language?

Because they only know how to operate at C-level.

The real lesson from DeepSeek is the importance of good old-fashioned computer science. Every day this week, they've been doing open source releases. The latest is their in-house distributed file system. github.com/deepseek-ai/...

I think programmers **NOT** using #Emacs and #Vim are way more productive overall, as they don't spend half their time tweaking their editor/IDE configuration.

Profs. Abelson and Sussman spoke at RacketCon 3 months ago, "celebrating 40 years of magic": youtu.be/_2qXIDO-cWw ... wonderful, glad I finally got around to this.

They were given lovely gifts at the end of it, but it looked like neither of them recognized that tune.

Very funny that S*ngal thinks that "Katie Tightpussy" is actually the Editor-in-Chief of Bluesky @katie.bzky.team .

Just incredible journalism to not be able to spot the difference between bzky.team and bsky.team

“So today, on Lambda’s tenth anniversary, I’d like to share the PR/FAQ that launched one of AWS’s foundational services” says @werner.socialwww.allthingsdistributed.com/2024/11/aws-...

More weirdness I'm learning today, M-SPC used to be bound to just-one-space, and M-\ was delete-horizontal-space. My fingers knew the keys, I'd forgotten the names of the commands long ago.

#Emacs has a keyboard macro ring! You can cycle through all the macros you've defined! Wow, all those times I re-defined some complicated macro because I didn't want to figure out how to name it. Yikes.
