@hikari i’ve sometimes thought about similar as “vibes aren’t net zero”- putting out positive energy doesn’t require inflicting negative energy on others, so why not default to joy?

after all, you’re blessed to make it to another day ✨

trying to be just that little bit more sparkly, as of late

pissed out of my mind every time someone's like "we need to invest in green infrastructure" and then completely fails to mention nuclear power plants. insane how effectively BP turned us against the safest, most efficient form of green energy ever conceived by man, in favor of toys that barely work

the EV push really is unbelievable. just throwing away money with astonishingly little oversight, yielding fawn-like to the outdated specter of car culture. we could have trains on electric rail powered by nuclear energy and instead our idea of a green future is "a four-seater sedan that weighs as much as a tank made of 90% smart phone that's certain to fall apart within five years in every home." the cost and emissions of increased road repairs alone will offset all the gains from the EV push

One of the bits of code I'm secretly proudest of is this Logic abstraction in the cfg-expr crate, used to evaluate Cargo cfg() expressions. With this, you can use both Boolean and three-valued logic (and other logics with your own impls) to evaluate expressions.

Why is this useful? Well, sometimes we just don't know whether an expression should evaluate to true or false. Using the three-valued K3 logic (also seen in SQL) we can represent that as an unknown state.

Do you hear that?

It's rare, but sometimes the Orange Site is... good?

“there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy” is a very old and well-known insult, but it's nonetheless stuck in my mind recently

since I was doing tests with the Squish framework, I've found some bugs in the application under test, so I wrote them down in a file labeled "squish bugs.txt"

and every time I see that file on my desktop, I think it's a reminder or command. you squish those bugs, foone
