Yo, thank you so, so much for pushing this as far as you have. It's so nice to finally have this in there and it's all thanks to you. Very well done.

You watched the 4am fine dining experience and was surprised too, right? I had the same thought right as I saw that.

I do agree to some extent however. Another factor = more surface area for stuff like this to happen.

Well, a number of things went into that kind of all at once. 2FA being rotated at a moment's notice was a very NPM thing to do and the .help gTLD is rife for abuse (similar to .zip). Plus it was pretty well crafted, looked better than the official emails they actually send, etc. All at once.

At least the trend is now linear instead of parabolic now, right? .... right? 😭

I'm firmly within the "untrained eye" category. This looks better than recent years but I'd imagine it isn't really. How do I interpret this year's graph?

This is an interesting approach to the moderation problem. I don't know if there's prior art here - what inspired this?

Backlights are working. The dedicated white channel really makes them quite vibrant. Glad I did that. Source here btw (both #PCB and #firmware): github.com/oro-os/link She's nearly finished. After three years and thousands of euro. I cant wait.

Just when I thought he couldn't steep any lower.

Finally figured out that JLCPCB mis-fabricated the board. Required me to file off a bunch of edge plating and cut some pieces off but ultimately got #firmware flashed. All in #rust, if you can believe it. Tomorrow will be the rest of the LEDs (on the back), testing ULPI, OLED and Ethernet.

Forward them to me. I'll waste their time :D

Doing a bit of #pcb work today. In for a good ~7 hours of populating over 200 components.

This is gorgeous. Any good (rata)TUIs for GDB by the way?

I can imagine! I also remember scout giving me my first VR 'vertigo' feeling :D

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Might have been DK1, I actually don't remember, come to think of it. Was unreal to experience that the first time via TF2. I have the Index these days and enjoy making VR stuff due to that experience, so thank you for that ❤️

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

I definitely played some weird prototype of HL2 and TF2 on the oculus DK2 way back when. It was incredible, especially TF2 which I had a much stronger affinity for. It wasn't using any hand controllers, just KB/M. Your mouse moved the reticle around the screen, which was genius. Loved this story!

It's so crazy how they've completely stuffed AI in every nook and cranny in Acrobat. Actually sickening. I dread PDFs now.

Another aspect of this. As a victim of a recent and very publish phishing attack, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when legitimate emails urge you to do something sensitive in a short amount of time. It conditions users to fall for attacks much more easily by creating this pattern.

You're absolutely right. This post's synergy levels are off the charts. Looking forward to circle back with you about this to align on projections and to maximize reach.

Only gripe with the panic system in Rust is that I wish you could annotate side effects to assert on their absence for certain functions, but I know this is difficult, especially retroactively. This would remove the need for link-time hacks like no_panic. Clippy gets close, but not for specific fns.

In my brief stint doing moderation on the bcat discord, we had a lot of LARPers playing the role of "super secret agent" trying to talk to higher-ups in bcat to reveal information. I kind of miss those messages.

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

.unwrap() is an assert!(), basically. If you can't guarantee the assert!() condition is always true, then unwrap isn't the tool. Also this was caused by an upstream misconfiguration of ClickHouse anyway; the unwrap() just surfaced the issue. A lot of FUD about nothing except subpar QA processes.

Important missing information: are you IO or CPU bound (on the sending side) at all?

Having gone down this road before (GH: qix-/node-editor), great work.

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Is there any benefit of this over `#[doc = include_str!("...")]` aside from automatic path resolution per method?

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Probably the semver solver. Pnpm likely solves it if you're able to switch. I don't use npm proper unless I absolutely have to.

020

Josh Junon @bad-at-computer.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Agreed. Ultimately the patch is what matters. How you got there doesn't, barring plagiarism. The nuance from anti-AI Folks is that AI is plagiarism, at least to some degree - which is a valid concern and I'm glad they're being voiced. Any other points are, in my opinion, just FUD.

Nothing much really came of it after that but I still have a few cool artifacts from that era. He's still one of my top favorite artists of all time. m.soundcloud.com/qix/savant-s...

He reposted it and liked it, and then his manager reached out to me via DM for a call. His manager was incredibly nice, said he would give it all away for free if he could, and if the game ever reaches 100k in revenue to call back and make a deal, otherwise to go crazy until then. Made my year.

Fun personal story about Savant. Maybe 10 years ago I learned how to make custom NES ROMs and music etc. After going to a concert, I wanted to make a legit Savant NES game. I recreated his logo and the track Starfish on a real cartridge and then asked him on Twitter if I could go ahead.

Genuine question: why? Are we really bound to archaic architectures for eternity?
