“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

Compsci question/lazyweb: Is there some work related to answering this question efficiently? "Given a dataset D and a SQL query Q on D, will Q give a different result if I update D with some action A?"
Don't know the terminology properly, but the general case isn't solvable without rerunning Q.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.
Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I wrote a blog post about why you should throw away Bash and use Python for more complicated scripts. It's not surprising, but I think too many people forget it's even an option:

Use Python for Scripting!
"Use the right tool" is nice in theory, but not when the tool acts a bit differently from machine to machine, and isn't always installed.

Today I went to a new doctor who, thankfully is amazing and actually wants to help me with my chronic pain. That does mean more tests going forward, and since today is Bandcamp Friday, this would be a great time to pick up some riffs to help me out!
I'm still digging myself out of financial holes created by an amazing healthcare system. For the forseeable future, the entire LS discography on Bandcamp is 75% off ($14 for 9 albums) if you want to help me out and get some riffs along the way.

I'm not _that_ conscious about performance when it comes to applications and the like, so I decided to install Ghostty to get some more features than Alacritty... that being said, it's noticeably slower to open a new window, which surprised me. I'll still try to it for now, but I'm a bit surprised.
