Your periodic reminder that in 1997, QNX developed a 1440 kiB demo floppy that contained the following:
* QNX 4 POSIX-compatible realtime microkernel
* Your choice of either Hayes modem drivers, or wired ethernet drivers for a few common NICs at the time (NE1000/2000, DEC Tulip, 3c509)
* VGA and VESA video drivers
* Photon windowing system
* A completely modern HTML 3.2+JavaScript web browser(!), with a bundled JavaScript game (Towers of Hanoi)
* A graphical text editor and a little demo animation
* A package manager to bring other apps in over the internet

kinda (-), loops
I want to pick up music again. And learn to draw. And get fit. And become a really good programmer.
And today I feel really motivated and energetic and I feel like I can start all that.
But at the same time I know it won’t happen. I’ll fall on my face as soon as a start. Or I’ll run out of steam after a couple days. Or I’ll fuck up once and give up because I’m not perfect.
I’ve been caught up in this loop for too long now. It feels like I’m destined to fail.

Woke up this morning to yelling outside, and saw police officers and a city worker taking all of a homeless person's belongings and throwing them on a back of a truck, to be destroyed.
I can't even express how disgusted I feel. The person was begging them not to throw his things out, including blankets to stay warm.
Fuck the people running this city.

ME: Unfortunately not yet, are you planning to send people to Epic training for this project?
HR: No, we're really just looking to [poach people from other, larger health systems who have already gotten the training so we don't have to pay for it.]
ME: Ah OK, well I have worked with their teams extensively and I think I could still add quite a lot..
HR: We'll call you

You: English pronunciation is random and lawless. It is a chaos language no one can make sense of.
Me:
C++ is a good language because the compile times force you to take breaks.
Good morning, insomnia, (-)
Good morning mastodon. Last night was one of those nights where I don't know if I actually slept or not so I could either be to tired to hate myself or hating myself was caused by me being tired.
Goodnight, (-)
Goodnight Mastodon I fucking hate myself and idk if that’s me being tired or another bout of depression aaaaaa

Growing up is realizing that all that time you spent bitching and moaning about cringey things was just teenage angst and an aggressive culture of needing to fit in and you're allowed to do whatever makes you feel better so long as it's not infringing upon anyone else.
I've rediscovered incremental games and I'm loving it.
Send me your favorite incremental games pls.

I wonder what software lies underneath a Coke Freestyle machine.
Moreover, I wonder if I can get my own software on to those machines.
Too bad these aren't available to the public :/

"Software Disenchantment" by Nikita Prokopov http://tonsky.me/blog/disenchantment/
Somewhat ranty but interesting piece on how "good enough" seems to dominate in the software industry. I can definitely share some of the frustration with how bloated and inefficient everything tends to be.
