whenever i need inspiration in life, I go and re-read the life story of the Saint Equal-to-apostles Olga of Kyiv.

I invite you to read it, too! Wikipedia has a good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev#Drevlian_Uprising

you are developing a novel, highly efficient algorithm for shuffling music. do you:

a) file a patent
b) write a paper
c) write a post on instructables dot com

real heads of course choose c: https://www.instructables.com/Miller-Shuffle-Algorithm/

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117472

Soon you will be able to write c"Hello" in rust and get a valid UTF-8 encoded *NUL-terminated* string. This is amazing for people who work with C APIs.

So last night's Doctor Who might be one of the best ever episodes of all time ever, with incredible character moments, and some real proper old school sci fi concept stuff.

Meanwhile a bunch of chuds are fully Not Enjoying It because they're all mad that the guy who plays Isaac Newton wasn't white.

It's not just that bigots are not allowed to like Doctor Who any more. It's that they are physically incapable of doing so, and that is just fucking great

Oh lovely. The new Discord update can mistarget image uploads and send them to an unintended recipient.

So if you use Discord for mixed purposes uh... be extremely, extremely wary of that. 🙃

@redford and @mrtick held an unrecorded talk a bout this at OhMyHack in Warsaw - I unfortunately couldn't make it because of Munich snow.

For now this is making the rounds in Polish-speaking sources, but we do have a talk scheduled about this at 37C3, in which we plan to do a deep dive into this and actually publish our findings.
