I cried at the Voyager news today. I also know why.

Because for every techbro out there, there's a talented engineer quietly working to make things actually better.

That gives me hope.

Hope is in short supply these days.

A single-board command-line computer using the esp32. Look at it! It's cute. Can't buy it yet the creator is starting some kind of online commune for single-board computer freaks. I bet some of you are around here, go say hi at his forum it only has like two posts and its making me sad.

@foone it sounds like a whole new layer of horrible ambience to visiting the hospital. Devices just quietly muttering model numbers and instructions to themselves against a backdrop of cinderblocks painted in muted pastels and scuffed off-white tile.

This was linked by @pluralistic last week(?) and it’s a good read about the (messed up) morality of Ender’s Game. Finally read it today.

@chx neither I nor the author of this critique say that there is no value or appeal to the book. It captures well the feelings of childhood victimhood and powerlessness. There’s a cathartic element to seeing surrogates for one’s tormentors or oppressors laid low by a victim figure. The issue is that the use of overwhelming and lethal force is presented as somehow literally perfectly moral and blameless based on Ender’s status as a victim of abuse and his intention to prevent abuse.

Finally listening to Deb Chachra's How Infrastructure Works and it is just wonderful. I wanted to squee when she described Boston's Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge as a "charismatic megastructure". It's just a great book.

this is going to rustle a few people's jimmies but it is a very earnest, very thoughtful post about the conflicting goals of rust and gamedev

https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/

it really echos a lot of the problems i've faced with static languages

c0dec0dec0de,
@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io avatar

@tef oh, oh yeah. Rust’s whole ouvre is not that at all. I mean there are cases where some refactors are easy and really safe because of the ownership model and borrow-checker, but exploratory programming is not - broadly-speaking - what I would associate with Rust.

@skry alright, I apologize to my elementary school teachers for what I thought were insulting lessons on parsing the text and structure of stories. There are people who just do not get them. The evil, unaccountable mega corporations of cyberpunk and other dystopian science fiction were supposed to be obviously bad. Do not create the Torment Nexus includes political systems not just devices!

There comes a point in your career when the single most impactful thing you can produce that improves security in your organization...is a slide deck that persuades leadership.

I don't love that truth, but there it is.

@mttaggart this is the single biggest thing that I learned post-certification. Nothing you know or suggest or jump up and down screaming about will matter a whit if you can’t sell the idea.

Just learned that you can split a document into multiple source files, so now my resume has a Makefile and is easily rearranged. And because I'm a software nerd first, I've got Document Viewer open and ran git ls-files | entr make to auto-rebuild any time a tracked part of the document is saved. Who needs WYSIWYG?

    I need to check this out. I have a stupid exercise bike that needs a new, lower seat post (thanks manufacturer for both making the minimum seat height too high for some adults and for having some weirdly shaped seat post that can’t just accept a metal rod). Also all of the inevitable weird computer things I could do!
