Github actions yeah but what about Github consequences

With OOP you're always just one step away from *oops*

I wish people stopped using AI generated images in their articles and presentations. I get the temptation to break up the text, but it’s pointless to break up the text with images that don’t tell a relevant story - so regardless of what you think of genai it just adds no value at best.
If you want the text to be easier to digest and don’t have and can’t produce any sketches or screenshots, maybe add cat photos instead?
I get that "imperial" sounds majestic.
But how it is even possible to do science using subjective units "like ass-warm per square pint"?
Besides sociology ofc
Your OKRs are my MTBF

tired: C with classes
wired: C with structs
(yes it's just C)
x86_64 is a fantasy console too
if you're brave enough
-- I fixed the normals, I swear! No, this time for real. Yes, I've tested it from multiple directions.

New thing from the Zstd (and LZ4/xxhash) crowd: OpenZL. A dozen or so building blocks (shufflers, transposers, filters, compressors) that can be chained together. Can automatically build "best" config based on sample data; same decompressor can decompress any config. Nice! https://openzl.org/ (and whitepaper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03203) #compression #openzl

@aras C++ proudly holds the crown of fastest-to-crash-language indeed.

@glyph I can cite precisely one NIST standard from memory, and this is it: “According to NIST SP 800-63b, section 5.1.1.2, we shouldn’t rotate passwords unless we expect they’ve been compromised.”
I busted that out on a call once and it stopped an entire argument. My CTO was also on the call and I saw him looking over at me, mouth agape.
Expired: Ancestral simulations.
Transpired: Stakeholder simulations.
I've almost procrastinated writing this episode down because the most expected outcome of it would be "the post is flushed down the social stream with only a few eyes to see it ever". And it was kinda pre-disappointing.
But I couldn't stop thinking it through and it still kinda writes itself in my head.
Meanwhile I recall that I had quite a reach for one of my works this year, so this isn't just a numbers game. And the problem of doing *anything at all* is actually one of the challenges in that post-human adventures (thankfully explored in Permutation City, Diaspora, 31 laws of fun, etc).
So, challenge... not accepted. Not yet. Something is missing still. So I just browsing idly on the viability FP32 precision for modelling orbital maneuvers and...

Unfortunately I can't remember how I managed to actually start typing, sorry.
Perhaps having a Fediverse client on a muscle memory and the learned anticipation of randomized reward from reading it (keep up the good work, all y'all!) made me open it. And then a typing box helpfully focused in a client was presented in a prominent position. I'm not sure, but whomever designed that - I'm grateful to them.
This IMO brings some evidence against efficacy of using Skinner boxes to alleviate low-energy mood swings.
