Sometimes you realize what a dirty gossip you are, I saw this pop up on YouTube, and thought, "Yeah baby, tell me that Filthy Yarn Scandal."

Y'all I don't knit, I'm not involved in this, but now I kind of want to be. Please everyone guess what the drama is!

@Binder Do you need ads for cookies dropped straight into your inbox?

One time we went to this great cigar bar, and I convinced my husband to pose with a cigar, so I could get a picture, but then he said to not post a picture of him with a cigar, so I had to get creative.

What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?

I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.

@RickiTarr That you can safely wear your underpants for four days before washing them:

  1. Normally
  2. Backwards
  3. Inside out
  4. Inside out & backwards

It wasn’t until I got married that I was reluctantly disavowed of this misconception. 😞

Hello! I want to do a Spooky Picture Prompt! So, find a picture in your camera roll that would represent the phrase:

Last Picture on the Camera Roll

This should be spooky, but completely up to your own interpretation. Here's one from me, with weird eclipse light.

I've just pushed a git commit with the comment:

" Massive code clean-up, all tests still pass.

...but I'm still struggling to understand how it works and how I use it. Memo to self: document your code better."

@simon_brooke I love how a huge commit in Clojure is ±250 lines, while in most mainstream languages that would be considered barely a change at all.

“You can’t have an eclipse w/o the sun, the moon AND the Earth”

Sheesh, earth exceptionalism much? Any occlusion can be an eclipse if you look from the right perspective.

@Binder Case in point: I just made an eclipse using my thumb.

Someone is waiting in the Fediverse to fight with you about some point in history at all times.

I've spent some of today finding bottlenecks in my world-simulating cellular automaton, and I can now simulate 10,000 years of history from the middle of the Ice Age to the middle of the Iron Age over 40,000 square kilometres (at kilometre scale) in slightly under two minutes of wall-clock time. It's utterly caning my poor computer, but it doesn't crash.


The state of my poor computer in the middle of a simulation run. Memory is maxed out (garbage collection is clearly the major bottleneck) and eight of my twelve processor cores are also maxed out.

@simon_brooke makes it so easy to burn down a CPU. And I don’t mean that in a “it’s inefficient” way, I mean it in a “it makes it trivial to write highly concurrent code” way.

@simon_brooke The JVM is a work of art, and Clojure makes it pleasant to use!

pmonks,
@pmonks@sfba.social avatar

@simon_brooke I use pmap quite heavily for (often good enough) naive parallelism, and wrote a virtual thread version that doesn’t chunk that’s even better on JVMs that support it: https://github.com/pmonks/embroidery

You are Entangled with someone, you'll see them throughout your life. You are connected in some way that always brings you back to this person. There's a good chance you don't like each other at all.

@RickiTarr I can’t think of anyone like that. 🤔

Wait. Does that mean it’s me?!?!? 😳

I talk to people from the UK pretty regularly, I watch a lot of BBC programming, I read a lot of books by authors from the UK, but sometimes they will suddenly use a word I've never heard in my life, and I'm beginning to think they are pranking us, and every other person from the UK is in on the joke, and just validates whatever the other person says!

It's feels a little weird to be annoyed with the etiquette on open source projects as it's free software. But, this crate has 8.3m downloads and the owner just decided to archive the repo? Defined the thing as unmaintained with no discussion? https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml/releases/tag/0.9.34

@simlay @Binder That’s the author’s prerogative, just like it’s the community’s prerogative to fork it and continue developing it.
