A few days ago I read this piece by @davidgerard about Eric Schmidt, formerly of Google, calling for burning all fossil fuels and letting climate change run without restraint for the sake of "AI" - pivot-to-ai.com/2024/10/06/eri…

On the first reading, I missed how Schmidt apparently has a new military contracting venture called "Istari".

Yet another person who managed to read Tolkien's legendarium and completely misunderstand everything in it.

as I have mentioned elsewhere I have worked fiercely on reducing memory calls and memory copies in curl code over the last few years, and I have come to realize that strncpy is often a marker for questionable code decisions, so I have worked on removing those questionable code paths.

As I have reduced the amount already before, the remaining few uses were not hard to just fix with better conditions and improved logic

while I understand that C was always ever meant as a relatively light abstraction, I still don't understand why native string handling was never incorporated. Dealing with strings is relevant in _so_ many use cases, that not having a sane and safe abstraction for it is just asking for trouble.

I think that's one of the first things Borland improved on in their derivates of Pascal.

Remember all those posts you've seen telling you how using #Discord - a private, closed platform - is bad for your community? How it's a terrible idea for storing documentation or other information? Well, the Russian armed forces decided it was a smart idea to use it for *military communications*. Their own "internet regulator" (read: censor) decided to ban it, with predictable results: washingtonpost.com/world/2024/…

Milton je hurikán, kterého se vědci již dlouho obávali: Změna klimatu vytvořila v Mexickém zálivu vhodné podmínky pro extrémní hurikán. Když se včera hurikán Milton během 12 hodin změnil z bouře 1. kategorie na bouři 5. kategorie, klimatologové a meteorologové byli ohromeni. John Morales z televize NBC6, zkušený televizní meteorolog z jižní Floridy, se při popisu rychlého a dramatického zesílení hurikánu začal zalykat.

This, is a banger. This whole soundtrack and just this composer in general is really good. This is Elly (sometimes romanized as Erii, originally エリイ) from the soundtrack of YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World (この世の果てで恋を歌う少女 YU-NO) for the NEC PC98. I'd like to see a bassist play the bass part in this, especially when it starts doing the changes! That sounds hard AF, but I'm not a bassist so I can't be certain. youtube.com/watch?v=0joudlesP6…

Chromium seems like such an unstoppable juggernaut right now, though. To the point that I'm sympathetic to the argument that Apple's ban on browser competition on iOS might be a good thing in that it's preventing Chromium from becoming even more of an unstoppable juggernaut, leaving everyone else far behind and making it practically impossible to ever develop a new independent engine.

The article linked in my last boost (baldurbjarnason.com/2024/lisko… by @baldur) has buried in it the following unequivocal statement:

":And none of us should be using React."

I think those of us who agree with this message (I think I do) could do a better job of communicating it to those who aren't following the web development discourse. As far as my non-developer business partner knows, for example, React is still an uncontroversial industry standard.

@AKernelPanic and I recently went on the #AskNoahShow to talk about the upcoming Ubuntu Summit and the excellent speakers coming this year.

Pri tuneni noveho stylu pro kampane jsme si hodne hrali s fonty. Bitvu fontoveho parovani zatim drtive prohravame.

Kombinace, co se nam libila byl napriklad ten SUSE (ted ho tam mame jako Body i Display) a NeueBit, ktery tomu dodal krasnou umeleckou pixelovatost. Bohuzel je pekelne drahy a alternativy jsme nenasli.

@jiri_toman nedokazal by si pomoctct nejakou profesionalni radou?
