computer science programs should spend a LOT more time and effort teaching students how to do effective technical writing

Programming which requires cussing: 

If a native HDBF VM exists and GCC is ported to it, then it's all over.

As #OpenBSD's de-facto wifi maintainer, I first learned about this WPA problem in June. A simple patch was provided which I could commit with slight modifications.

The original embargo was already 2 months long, and then extended again for 2 months.

The generall public (you) were left in the dark about this for at least 4 months.

This is a very sad state of affairs. It takes the industry much too long to apply a simple patch.

Don't worry about today's WPA2 vuln if you're running #OpenBSD - both 6.1-stable and 6.2 release are already patched.

I don't know if I need a version of gcc so old, but I'm wearing out.

I got past this error, at least.

I actually like the program xcal, but not only is it not in FreeBSD ports, the only place I can find a copy of the source is in Debian's source pools.

And the source won't build because clang doesn't translate ancient imake rules/macros right: X11.rules exists, but it's trying to include ' X11 .rules' (spurious spaces).

I for one would rather have real interactive people than one-way token celebrity endorsements in my social network.

I just noticed that what they're wearing during the comparison dances are...

...sorting hats.

YouTube is recommending folk dancers illustrating merge sort and bubble sort, too.

I need to sort these Hungarian folk dancers as quickly as possible. What computer algorithm should I use? youtu.be/3San3uKKHgg

Oh are the new users asking about how to get the check mark again? LMAO listen:

You're important, you're valid, & you don't need that check mark 💝💝💝

There's no checkmark procedure on Mastodon. You're already verified real and valid.

My workstation is misbehaving so badly, clicking on "Boost" turned the page into a solid black screen. I'm going to take this as a hint. Happy weekend, everyone.
