True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22’ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!

THREAD: Hi! Just released a new version of buf-list (a segmented list of byte chunks -- imagine a `Vec<u8>` that isn't a single contiguous allocation.) The big new feature is a new `Cursor` type, which can wrap an owned or borrowed `BufList` to implement `Read`, `BufRead` and `Seek`, and optionally their async versions.
docs.rs/buf-list/latest/buf_li…
A `Cursor` wraps an in-memory `BufList` and provides it with a `Seek` implementation.docs.rs
As you might imagine, a BufList's cursor is significantly more complicated than the standard library's cursor (which only works on contiguous sequences of bytes). There's a lot of tricky fiddling with indexes and numbers involved.
How do we know we didn't make a mistake? Manually testing everything is almost certain to miss something, so we need a more systematic way to ensure correctness.
Enter property-based tests! They're a fantastic way to generate random inputs to your operations and test them.
At a very basic level, we can assert a pretty simple property: that our code never panics no matter what sorts of inputs we get. We can do that by generating a random BufList and a random sequence of operations, then applying those operations.

When a Free Software project (Profanity) is run by a jackass.
Just did a simple PR that changed a Ellipsis Char that does not display well on Arch Linux TTY (because it is a newer char), to 3 dots. A simple change.
It was not approved (after much time), although, in all the rest of the source code, 3 dots are used (3 dots is used 26 times in the source code). There is only one instance of the Ellipsis char, and it was this that the PR was changing to 3 dots.

Giving up Twitter, and the impact on my business.
A rather long-winded, rambling #BlogPost, in which I try to jot down some of my thoughts about the impact of my choice to leave Twitter, and to spend more time in the fediverse, from the point of view of getting new clients (I'm a solicitor).
For me, so far, the fediverse is definitely on par with Twitter from this point of view.

Recently, I uploaded a video from Bell Laboratories, Inc. featuring the first example of synthesized computer speech. Regrettably, this was the first upload of mine to receive a copyright violation. However, this was not due to the content of the record itself, but rather due to someone who had sampled parts of the record and used them in their own song. As far as I understood, YouTube's copyright and content ID match requires original creations that do not contain samples from another recording.
I conducted research to determine who now owned all of Bell Labs' patents and copyrights and discovered that it was Nokia. I was able to submit a form for licensing requests via their website and explained the nature of my channel and the copyright problem I had encountered while trying to showcase their record on YouTube.
To my pleasant surprise, Nokia was incredibly accommodating and granted me a no-charge lifetime license, on the condition that I add the message "Courtesy of Nokia Corporation and AT&T Archives" to the video, which I was more than willing to do.
Unfortunately, this process required me to edit the video and re-upload it. However, it is now up once again, and the copyright has been filed with the claimant, including all details of the license I received from Nokia.

How CS gets things wrong in the long term: I'm talking with @psu_13 about Modula-3 and #Ada (making my #pascal video last week got me thinking about these languages) and I said something like "I remember hating Modula-2 specifically because as a young person I wanted to write programs without actually doing any planning or forethought or actual software design" and he killed me with the following words:
"I think the funniest thing about things like Ada and Common Lisp were how back in the day they were thrown away because they were so "hopelessly bloated" and we should stick to "small and easy to understand" languages so we ended up with C++ and Javascript instead."
I loved Modula-2. I loved that the compiler (and runtime) helped preventing errors that C didn't. (I was 20)
Don't get me started about JS.

It rained and snowed all day today but I still went for a short walk - and found a lifer liverwort, Apopellia endiviifolia. Something that looks like a cross of moss and lichen but is neither. It also had very strange looking long stalks with little green and brown balls on top, the only reason I even noticed it 😆
