Currently sampling various Rust webdev crates and watching the dependency lists scroll by has me dismayed a little at the absolute state of software development bloat.

The bit in The Orvile where Bortus asks the replicator for 500 cigarettes except the caption says "500 Cargo crates" instead.

Yes, I know you can just make a memory ouroboros instead and the compiler also won't bat an eye at that, but doing that still requires more effort on your part than an elementary function call!

Like, yes, I get that leaking memory is "safe" in the sense that it won't cause misbehaviors in the same way as, say, flipping wanton bits in your programs would, but I feel like I should probably have to try a bit harder than to just call Box::leak or mem::forget to achieve a leak.

I feel like there's something about Rust's upfront betrayal of intuition for the sake of enforcing a specific kind of correctness that primes people to interpret every single decision its creators make as "holy gospel", even though some of them are extremely dubious.

Bevy is neat, but it feels like every other internal system was named by picking a random CS term from a blind bag. I know the hardest problem in programming is naming things, but it lowkey feels like they didn't even bother trying. Like, no bevy, I don't think elapsed time is a resource actually.

The blazé attitude with which orteil talks about cookie clicker development is genuinely something I aspire to.

orteil42 on tumblr: part of why i've taken so long on the Cookie Clicker dungeons is actually a tactical decision to let the hype die down to manageable levels, lest it be too much for me to ever live up to. are you folks still excited for the dungeons?

a bunch of screenshots to the effect of "hell yeah, duh"

I know I’m decades late to this punch, but I really like that in the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy movie, the computer in charge of computing the answer to life, the universe, and everything is posed to look like its holding its head in its hands, deep in thought.

The computer doesn’t care because it’s all numbers from its perspective! Unfortunately, the people designing C forgot to consider that people are looking at the code too.

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

Had a dream where I was wearing a maid type dress and doll prosthetics and it made me really happy, unfortunately the dream also involved me getting diagnosed with brain cancer so that somewhat dampened the enjoyment of the first thing.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.
