tbh very enamoured with this terrible plumbing job a contractor did while openly admitting he super fucked up because he was sleep deprived
pipes going from a shed to a heat pump, the pipes and ports are perfectly vertically aligned but the pipes zig zag around eachother to go to the opposite intakes

calling everything in the python ecosystem 0ver if it hasn’t bothered to go to epoch 1 1!0.0.1 is a much more legit stable release than 1.0.0 (aka 0!1.0.0)

the weirdest thing to learn about japan is bloodtypes are a popular astrology-like there. it comes up constantly in anime but it’s so easy to miss because that system has no presence in the west. there’s so many random drops of “such a sagitarius am i right” that don’t even register unless you know.

hearing that "good first issue" tagging is becoming useless because it just prompts a bunch of identical ai-generated PRs. makes me wanna burn down a datacenter. fucking. god. what a pointless salting of the earth.

not a lot of people know this but if a restaurant ever serves you sushi that looks like this you should send it back -- it's so old that all the rice has settled to the bottom
the kind of sushi where a single piece of fish is draped over a block of rice

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

just learned python typing invented a new kind of voldemort type, one which when named doesn't actually name it `float` and `int` are two distinct types but if you write `x: float` that actually means `x: float | int`. but if you write `x: float | int` that means `x: float | int | int`...

talking to gamedevs about PL design is always so funny because it's constant whiplash between "the language should support incredible magic for these extremely specific idioms" and "the language having any magic at all is the most offensive thing in the world to me, why am i not in control of this"

Aria Desires @gankra.bsky.social · 21/08/2025
An interesting detail of PL design that I hadn't really appreciated before because it only *really* maters in IDEs: Given a constructor call like `MyClass(a, b)`, the token `MyClass` is a reference to two different definitions: the class itself, and the constructor.

every now and then i'm like "maybe i'm too hard on arm64 windows, it's real, it's been so long" and then someone is like "we need to prefer installing and running x64 cpython on arm64 windows because no one compiles wheels for it, which makes native a more broken experience than emulated" nice nice
