Say you're in Rust and you want to stream a wav to disk. By "stream" I mean that you're generating the wav continuously, and you need the final written file to be valid even if the program exits oddly— potentially even if it crashes! This means I need to be able to periodically force the wav writer to seek back to the wav header, write lengths, then seek back to the write point, rather than the interface being "write until you're done, then close, and on close we write a header".

Here is a post I think is really good about a fan attempt to translate "Baba is You" into Chinese. The results look gorgeous (hanzi are square, and can be written potentially horizontally or vertically, so as a writing system it works BETTER than the Latin alphabet) but because many of the puzzles in Baba is You are literal wordplay hinging on specifics of English grammar it is a VERY hard localization. The post attempts to describe what does and doesn't work.

Why is it that we keep blaming our kids' depression and anxiety on social media and smartphones instead of the fact that we've turned the entire planet into a burning dumpster fire for them to deal with

I wonder if anyone has ever made a key lock where it turns on any key, but provides a value back to the connected computer to tell you the bitting of the key

The worst thing about being a programmer) developer in a galaxy far, far away is having to program in jabbascript

One of the reasons I want Xenia the Fox to replace Tux the Penguin as the Linux mascot is so the bigots in the Linux community get outraged enough at queer symbolism that they basically see themselves out and save us the work of booting them out.

every time I have to review software source code that was written by a hardware company I come away with the feeling that I have encountered an alien form of life

and it’s not even necessarily the source code itself that’s bizarre but the build process and other matters of civilization around it
