If you used the internet in the US in the early 90s, your traffic was handled by Trans Witches! (A TRANSWITCH chip was part of every interface board on the NSFnet's experimental T3 routers.)

“Despite the trials and tribulations of life, always consider life the most precious gift the Cosmic ever granted human beings, because it is the medium of our spiritual evolution and the source of the happiness we seek. Furthermore, regard your body as the temple of your soul, and take great care of it.” Rose + Croix Code of Life

Being asked why you're late to work after lunch on the weekend, during your Out Of Office week.

When senior coworkers buy you lunch after a disaster of a company meeting where you were impossibly thrown under the bus and everyone is in awe at the audacity of the notion.

I totally forgot about this year's pumpkin carving contest...

Lunch today:::

Quesadillas with dinosaur chicken nuggets instead of lunch meat. Carolina reaper and cayenne pepper for flavor.

“Humanity, when conscious of an eternal truth, has ever symbolized it so that the human consciousness could forever have realization of it. Nations, languages and customs have changed, and yet ancient symbols continue to illuminate us with their mystic light.” Ralph M. Lewis

"Meditation is a transformation of consciousness. When we meditate we change our state of receptivity, like tuning to a higher wavelength. Meditation is attunement." Rosicrucian Manuscript

@PeterCxy@comfy.social Fundamentally there's an inherent contradiction between "C as high-level assembly" (but at the expense of portability and optimizations) and "C as a high-level and portable programming language" (but at the expense literal translation to machine code). C attempts to be both. It was historically first used by Unix hackers as a form of high-level assembly, and later another group joined with people who use C as a general-purpose high-level language. This started all the troubles.

K&R C (pre-ANSI) did not have a formal logical specification. The expected behaviors were simply "whatever side-effects that the actual machine code creates after compiling". It was designed not by theoretical CS researchers but by Unix kernel hackers as a minimum-viable high-level language, with line-by-line literal translation to machine code in mind. The original Unix code made liberal (ab)uses of PDP 11-specific behaviors, and in early versions, even compiler-specific ones ("you're not expected to understand this" was a hack based on the compiler's register allocation).

Inevitably, when different platforms are targeted, the side-effects are going to be different. To be portable, the idea is to use a restrictive subset of K&R C operations that absolutely does not depend on platform behaviors (which would later be codified as the ANSI C's abstract machine). To complicate the problem further, compiler writers also want to do high-level reasoning for optimization and vectorization that would be impossible if unexpected side-effects exist - but the original C was never designed to do that. The result is that only a heavily restricted subset of possible operations in C is "proper C", leaving the rest as undefined or implementation-defined (in practice, with the tendency of getting more and more restrictive over time as optimizer becomes more aggressive over time) - sometimes unrealistically restrictive (such as "you cannot assume negative integers are represented in 2's complement).

So tired of fighting...

Where's the moral support crew?

I couldn't wait for you to come and clear the cupboards
But now you're gone and leaving nothing but a sign
Another evening, I'll be sitting reading in-between your lines
Because I miss you all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
So, get away
Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
And let yourself go
You know you didn't lose your self-control
There's no end of the rainbow
Turn away
Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
And let yourself go
Is that a compromise?
[Chorus]

So, what do you wanna do? What's your point of view?
There's a party, screw it, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point of view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Causе I really wanna stay at your house
In the palacе, it all works out
But you know how much you fuck me up
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you, I don't wanna know

[Verse 2]
And I'm aware that you were lying in the gutter
'Cause I did everything to be there by your si-i-ide
So, when you tell me I'm the reason, I just can't believe the lies
And why do I still want to call you? (Call you, call you, call you)

[Chorus]
So, what do you wanna do? What's your point of view?
There's a party, screw it, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point of view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
In the palace, it all works out
But you know how much you fuck me up
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you, I don't wanna know
[Bridge]
You
Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh
I don't know where I'm going

[Pre-Chorus]
So, get away
Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
And let yourself go
You know you didn't lose your self-control
There's no end of the rainbow
Turn away
Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
And let yourself go
Is that a compromise?

[Chorus]
So, what do you wanna do? What's your point of view?
There's a party, screw it, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point of view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
In the palace, it all works out
But you know how much you fuck me up
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you, I don't wanna know.

The DM for the upcoming RP told me he's going to introduce my character mid-game as an NPC hostage, and then turn the tables in the players who mocked him by punishing everyone brutally for having sold the npc into slavery.
