@RepMacDonell Wtf, do you think the government just harvests money from a field, they take it from everyone else..... Like a bully.

@molecularmusing But maybe it should have been? 🤷‍♂️

I don't see it mentioned enough times, and it needs to be said. @git_fork **is** the best git client around period. End of sentence. It's lightweight, simple, fast, and it just continues to work without issue. Win & Mac, free to try and one time purchase. https://t.co/43q3IvDZCb

The Life and Death of a Graphics Programmer

[Andrew Beck @AndrewBeckUSA]

I debut in @firstthingsmag today writing on Brendan Eich, who ten years ago was attacked and chased out of Mozilla, a company he co-founded, for taking private civic action based upon his quiet Christian faith. It was a pivotal moment in our society and for me personally:

"I was working in New York's “Silicon Alley” when it happened, and I immediately recognized it as a major escalation in the culture war. It was a warning that the Leviathan of technocracy did not care how well I did, how hard I worked, or how well I treated others. Ideological conformity to the top-down, programmatic transformation of the country that was rapidly taking place was all that mattered. If I was unwilling to affirm the current thing dictated according to the whims of “progress,” I was an enemy of humanity and an enemy of America. And my beliefs, no matter how ancient, innocent, and valid, must bow to the will of Leviathan, or the digital swarm would descend upon me. In fact, the higher I rose, the harder opponents would hunt for an excuse to throw me, like Belteshazzar, to the lions."

Last year, the Make-a-Wish Foundation announced that kids with cystic fibrosis would no longer automatically qualify for a wish.

This was, actually, a good thing—a great thing even!

@seanbax @justinamash Ah, the old saying. "Guilty, until proven innocent in the supreme court"

I have a desperate need to find out that a person I look up to has to agree with me 100% on every topic. This is why Taylor Swift's silence on Intel's latest CPUs consuming upwards of 320 watts while bursting is deafening.

An almost 20 year old memo -- give it a few more days -- about Longhorn before the reset. But sometimes I feel like this advice is true about a lot of systems these days.

@ridilculous @mikulasflorek I don't see the STL averse being the ones paying the early adopter tax on modules. And the tax is high. The people that actually like the STL still don't use modules.

ソフトウェア産業で働いた経験は結構あるけど、コードレビューが本当によい慣習だというのは今だにあんまり納得してないんだよな。GoogleとかLLVMでやっていたようなコードレビューの多くは重箱の隅を突くような感じで、時間がとにかくかかるわりにリターンがあんまりない感じがした。

@Atrix256 The worst is VS2022. If you have some text highlighted and you want to replace it with a parenthesis or quotes or something, VS will surround the highlighted text with the symbol instead of replacing it. Terrible when refactoring code.

@cenkuygur I don't think a lack of regulations is the issue. I think it's the lack of liability that NS faces. Need something like a corporate death penalty.

[Rui Ueyama @rui314]

そんなに難しくしなくてよいのでは、という話だと、分散しすぎというのもある。速いコードを書いてパワフルなマシン一台で動かすほうが簡単なのに、遅いコードを書いて分散処理してるケースをよく見る気がする。現代のコンピュータは本当に速いので、適切なコードを書くと驚くべき性能を発揮するよ。
