Breaking my Twitter silence because @junyer has passed away, and this is the site where he was most active. I know we had at least a few followers in common. There is a public memorial page of sorts at https://t.co/rBLd0C5Vdq.

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

sometimes my brain does a funny, and I don't realise what happened until afterwards, leading to such statements as:

Depeche Modal distribution

@apenwarr @networkservice If only the other flavour of paper-eating device would follow suit! My new scanner — HP, but that seems to be the least worst option here currently — brought me hours of pain (and a good amount of Ghidra practice...) before I got anything reasonable out of it.

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

@apenwarr I swear by my Oki Microline — dot-matrix + tractor-feed forever! — though $partner thinks I am mad. (But our old Brother HL-1110 is also acceptable, I guess.)

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

@FelixCLC_ @junyer "interesting modifications" should here be read as "addition of exciting new test vectors" — given that CVE-2024-3094 is rather on my (and I suspect junyer's) mind this weekend.

@tsoding "stack frames are a social construct", "types are a common hallucination", etc.

@Pinboard: I see that `https://t.co/2NyhFH1Uor` is refusing to connect. (I just want to point someone who's doing website crimes at at The Website Obesity Crisis!)

Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder who set the course for the future of the semiconductor industry, has passed away at the age of 94. https://t.co/otpLCwm3zv

oh great, and Guile's import of `(chibi match)' as `(ice-9 match)' carefully patches the non-positional extension out (but I can't see any rationale for why ... presumably because it overloads `@'?)

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

ye gods, the Wright-Cartwright-Shinn `match' term's `$' operator is **positional** on record types? auugh!

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

so far, most of my Org-mode muscle memory is doing OK ... except my Emacs config has changed enough that I'm now running into horrible bugs in Org-mode that I can't work around

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

hmm... which would be easier: (re-)learning Org-mode, or (re-)implementing Todoist?

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

I've used Todoist for many years, and am very familiar with its quirks and foibles ... it's truly excruciating to not be able to use it at work :-(

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

Sigh, I have killed another audio interface by mulching a connector ... nothing quite like ripping the traces off a PCB to ruin one's fun.

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

thought: has anyone recompiled the Java VM to WebAssembly so we can have Java applets back?

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

@SpanishPear well, at least we can sort of actually sandbox them now...

Australian legislation:
amendments are just patches,
explanatory memoranda are just commit messages.

[Jashank Jeremy @jashankj]

having to hunt around for how and why Australian legislation has changed is an absolute pain ... wish this stuff was done such that you could just use some sort of `blame' mechanism.
