Accidentally discovered a productivity trick: if you make Wednesday the last day of your vacation, everyone assumes you are still out as you were for the first three days of the week. And you get two undistracted, productive days.
Here you go, folks – the first image from last night's Mercury flyby by BepiColombo, ESA & JAXA's mission to our innermost planet.
The south pole is near the top of the image, right at the terminator between night & day, where there a some craters that never see sunlight & may even hold ice.
This is just a first teaser image – we'll be publishing some very exciting images from the closest part of the flyby later on today 🙂👍
Wouldn't it be cool if YouTube showed "the most skipped" segment in addition to "the most replayed"?
I wish a pointy stick was the only weapon of war humanity ever needed.
I am pretty sure that if we spent all the ingenuity on technology that eliminated the need to compete over scarce resources, we'd already be able to provide a roof, food and comfort to anyone wanting it. Instead we waste time inventing ways of taking from the neighbor. So disappointing.

Didn't think I'd say it, but man do I miss dumb the dump routers of early 2010. Like, this is what I see within 5 minutes of setting up a fancy-ass ASUS router. Am I really supposed to trust my network to that? Fucking bloat.
I'd like to think their business-oriented hardware would be better, but something tells me it's programmed by the same dudes.
Problems can be classified by difficulty into either be p, np, or npm.
If I mint some Hope NFTs and sell them, would I become hopelessly rich?

This is very silly and basically right. https://grugbrain.dev
at most tech companies there’s the concept of a P0 (through P3/P4) or SEV0 (through SEV3/SEV4) incident, with lower numbers indicating a higher priority incident or outage.
what would be a higher priority than even SEV0?

Social media be like: “omg this is great/awful/changes everything and I feel this is super important” without any mention of what they are referring to.
Me, googles latest news to guess what happened: “aw another US politics nonsense”
The more you understand computers, the more you value systems without them.
Found a bug of the "I have no idea how that could have possibly worked" kind:
class arena {
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<intptr_t[]>> allocs_;
public:
intptr_t* allocate(size_t n) {
allocs_.emplace_back(new intptr_t[n]);
return allocs_.end()->get();
}
};
</std::unique_ptr<intptr_t[]>
Notice that instead of returning the last element, the code returns the end()
iterator which points to after the last element. To random memory. Oops?..
It's really annoying how many coding-oriented LLM say nothing about the licensing of the datasets they have been trained on. Every now and then I research if I can use fancy AI completion for my open source work and the answer is the same: yolo. The tooling is great - you can spin up a model in like 5 minutes plus download time. The legality of it continues to be ignored my just about everyone.
Pleeease give me a model registry and an option to filter on compatibility with the license of my project. Is that too much to ask?
Okay so you know, bunch of shitposting and all that, but a serious interlude:
Someone pushed the button to start this rollout. They are probably having a _really_ bad time right now.
If someone at Crowdstrike knows who that is, please go and check on them, give them a hug, tell them it's not their fault, that it's going to be okay. No matter what the company line is on blameless culture whatever, the lizard brain is in charge right now and needs reassurance.
What the actual fucking dickens.
It's probably more expensive to deprecate this than to keep it going ~indefinitely. It's also the exact opposite of Universally Accessible and useful.
