Or even like, ask me what kind of user I am? Let me develop a voluntary opt-in relationship with my search that doesn't track me but just ... serves me. Maybe you develop front-end stuff and you want to let it know that's a field of interest for you, and I can tell mine traditional visual arts are my jam, and if we search on an overlapping term (because tech constantly borrows from those), it'll guess correctly. I want scrolls, not scrolling. Papyrus, and how to make it. Gems for setting, or ground for pigment, not something to install. I just think it would really help. ​

When we get around to unbreaking search engines, let's just include a "don't return results about software" toggle to fix the context problems. ​

My interests have all started to be erased by big tech. I love things like civilization-defining inventions, and handmaking stuff, and rare animals and natural history and ancient astronomy and mythology and.....I dunno, I just feel if something has meant one thing for thousands of years to possibly billions of people, but once it happens to be used on github to name something and shows up on reddit and hacker news and stack overflow it drops to the bottom because the crowd that makes the search engines and web stuff prioritizes those sites? Things have gone wrong.

I am going to try this again. If anyone needs a graphics programmer I am in desperate need of a job. AAA game dev experience. Driver experience. C and C++ mostly. Dm for resume.

Me: It's not sunburn unless the UV comes from the sun, otherwise it's just sparkling radiation burn

How to Setup Docker

C library functions are always like: "SYNOPSIS. This function converts foos into bars depending on the user locale. ARGUMENTS. src and dest pointers must be distinct; it is undefined behavior if they are not QPU-aligned. RETURN VALUE. Returns the number of foos converted. A zero value indicates failure, or that zero foos were converted. A negative value indicates that the final foo was only partially converted (function got tired). Check this global variable to find out why."

Rust is the TypeScript of Python.

I've read articles about the best uses for vegimite... but what about the worst?

Air conditioner means there must also be Earth shampoo.

twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.

the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.

a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.

i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏
