"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

c.f there are only two types of programming language ones with for loops, where no-one uses the for loops and ones without for loops, where everyone wishes there were for loops

Ok so I finally got around to Factorio... who knew you could make flow control a game.

When are they rewriting Unix `tee` in Rust? It’s only 350 lines of code. 🦀 Seems to me like the easiest way to achieve memory safe tee everywhere. 🙃

Now there's a protest sign you don't see often.

New one for me: flight officer realizes they're not allowed in the destination country just prior to takeoff, so we got to taxi back and wait for the airline to find a replacement.

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

We came, we saw, we shat on it

sometimes an app hangs for long enough for me to mentally sketch out a design for my own version of the app that doesn't do that

I love that there's a place called 420 Poutine House here. Bloody perfect.

How hard should you work to prevent a problem that certainly won't happen until after you retire?

No way I got Bluesky to work on my microwave ft. @hankgreen.bsky.social
