I think I may have found a Bluesky client that gets me back to where I left off the timeline no matter how far back it was, and it’s Skeets. I tried all others, and they all bring me back to the top. Indigo tries to do the right thing but after a while just yeets old posts at will.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

Happy 40th to the great Norton Commander! 🎉🎂🥂 I most certainly couldn't imagine my life without it and its clones. Orthodox file managers rule!

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Every once in a while I think about the time I was trying to tell three male coworkers about a study that had shown that men think their female coworkers talk more & interrupt more, even though, in fact, men talk & interrupt more, but I could never finish telling them, b/c they kept interrupting me.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Substack proudly funds the nazi voices on their platform. Please stop publishing on substack if you have any modicum of concern about the information ecosystem and the economics of hate. I know many people who absolutely do know better who continue to publish there and it is second-hand embarrassing

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

I am writing a book titled "A Pragmatic Journey into C++ Modules." It is a work in progress, but since I'm publishing on LeanPub, I can release an early version and update it periodically. Early readers can also obtain it at a discount, and proofread it for me. #cplusplus

Hi new followers! I'm a C++ programmer from London, UK. In my spare time I run C++ Club UK at cppclub.uk. In my previous life back in Lithuania I used to be a surgeon. I served a year in the Soviet Army back when USSR was a thing, and then lived through its collapse.
cppclub.uk
C++ Club
C++ Club is a semi-regular online meeting of C++ enthusiasts to discuss the latest news, events and anything else related to the C++ programming language. This is where I post meeting notes. For video...
