That Mercedes was once considered a good-size family saloon for many years. Now it looks puny next to other modern cars, even ones considered compact by today's standards…

saw a midi keyboard sticking out a dumpster today, this has to be a sign for me to get back into making music 🙏

okay but what if ELF had a feature where a particular executable page would get mapped from a different offset in the file depending on CPU flags, so you could do CPU capability dispatch with literally zero runtime cost by just having several versions of the same page with different versions of the same function at the same mapped address

i'm the only true transgender woman in the internet because i have equal hatred for all of the programming languages, makig me purer than all of you

the internet is a tool made with the express purpose of transgender women no-true-scotsmanning each other about programming languages allegiances and the type of socks you wear

oh my fucking god. so i was having a problem when i enabled optimizations when compiling the doom port. memcpy ended up overwriting itself. so i looked into what was happening, and apparently memcpy just kept calling itself over and over. the reason? i was compiling my own version of memcpy, because i wasn't using the standard library, but i also didn't use the "-ffreestanding" flag, so gcc assumed i *did* have the standard library. so gcc, in its infinite wisdom, turned memcpy into another call to memcpy, resulting in a stack overflow.

Not to forget this little nugget typeset in some shady military stencil font.

Love how WarGames is filled to the brim with fonts no one wants: Gorton, low-poly vector fonts, old-school bitmap fonts, 14-segment stuff.

I gave a guy the thumbs down instead of a middle finger when he cut me off. His face was confusion and shock. I whole heartily recommend this action.

Why is this the biggest salient? Because browser choice can *end* App Stores. Thoroughly and totally. And that's why Apple continues to fight real choice so damned hard. They're pulling out every stop -- including funding astroturf groups -- and risking every possible fine to keep true choice from emerging through a mechanism they don't control.

Small reversals like this are helpful, but Apple has continues to geofence and degrade the potential of real browser choice. And that's a scandal

The tech press continues to miss the biggest iOS anti-trust thrust: browsers. The press, that is, with the exception of The Register:
