I, like, honestly don’t understand how anyone could look at what happened today and be troubled by it.

12 random people heard evidence, listened to arguments for and against, and determined that the evidence rises to the level of criminality based on its merits. Like, this is the way lawsuits are supposed to work.

What the fuck is he even saying

🎃 committed a crime, and today he was found guilty of the crime that he committed

Anyone else who also commits a crime is absolutely at risk of a similar fate, as they should be. That’s why they’re called “crimes”

Also this “trivial matter” is 34 felonies, so there’s that

If anything, my faith in America’s legal system is bolstered because today we reaffirmed that no one is above the law

I do not envy Judge Merchan now. He has to decide "do I send a former president to jail" and the decision is squarely on his shoulders alone

What I want to know most from the news media: if someone was found guilty of these crimes, and they weren't the president, would they go to jail?

I, for one, am really excited for the new Snapdragon X chips, because the more GPU vendors breaking up the Nvidia / AMD duopoly, the better

Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was actual competition among

• Nvidia
• AMD
• Intel
• Qualcomm
• Apple
  … all of whom design GPUs?

I remember it took me literal days to figure out the “umount” command doesn’t have the letter “n” in it

I kept reading online about people saying “use umount” and every time I tried, it said “unmount: command not found”

I felt so stupid when I figured it out

And then I thought, no, it is not me who is stupid, it is whoever named that fucking command and deleted a random letter from the middle of it

You know what GLSL needs?

Inline assembly. So you can write snippets of SPIR-V in your GLSL shader.

(I'm only mostly joking)

Over on twitter there has been a bit of a back and forth on C# and Rust simple json server performance.

I know C# has gotten a ton of performance tuning on the stack, and was wondering if Swift was up to the task.

I have never done Swift on the Server before, but the results are impressive:

Swift: 64k req/sec
.NET: 61k req/sec
