@samuraiames.bsky.social I don't know who storyboarded or animated "Brighter"...
But in the scene where it shows Vox in front of a board with suggestions for the network...
Vox canonically invented Doctor Who!
Words can't express how happy that little detail made me.
Please thank them for us.

If "everyone knows .unwrap() is a footgun", then why is it in #rust at all?
Make the user use .unwrap_or, or match, or some other error flow mechanism so they're forced to make a decision.
If they want to "panic!()", make them type it out. Let them ponder their life choices in those 9 chrs.

I remember having a discussion with someone about how I thought that a language having a runtime "panic"-like function should be an anti-pattern.
A "memory-safe crash" is still a crash.
Guess I have a high-profile real-world example to quote now.

Hey @life360.bsky.social
Not a fan of you floating advertisements over the map or the UI during normal operation.
I get it, you want to sell more trackers…
If this was a free service, I'd accept it.
But I pay you for this service and I don't want it cluttering up the map I'm trying to navigate.

Can someone tell me what a "Black Hatter" is in #hazbinhotel ?
I've looked, and searched - and find no (cannon) reference to it… just fan-art.
They're mentioned in S2E4, and feels Chekhov's Gun-like…

I have two 30m slots of Radio Time every week on an AM Shortwave broadcast station that can be heard almost everywhere in the World - over *actual* radio.
None of this "streaming" nonsense.
My next show needs to be 30 minutes of @amirtalai.bsky.social cackling over screams with no context.

When I was in my early 20s I was offered a job in a third world country to build their first Internet Service Provider.
"What a potential to do good!", I thought to myself.
The salary was near nothing, but the offered housing, a driver, armed guards, and a live-in cook and maid.
Ok…

Everyone I know who's moved to Dubai has done so because they love having servants--the chefs, housekeepers, drivers & nannies they could not afford in places with labor & human rights laws.
It's the upper middle class correlate to my theory that the ultra-rich really want to OWN other people.

I just bought a sonic cutter. It's basically an X-Acto-knife that vibrates at 40khz.
It may be my favourite tool purchase since my thermaltonics iron!

When log4j vulns appeared, I wrote an app that recursively searched .zip/.war/ear/.jar files in memory for a specified regex.
(…or just recursively show you all the files in each).
I've been using it recently to inventory all my backups and it was so useful I'm considering renaming it.

I just found a news article about the first security incident I ever worked. In 1997 (!)

Even in 1997, having a default policy of blocking all outgoing traffic from our production servers saved our bacon.

Have my talk at @codescarolina.bsky.social .
First time at a conference since the before times.
Talked about one of the languages I've been working with the last 5 years or so: @ponylang.bsky.social
289 "Slides" in 30ish minutes.
... and somehow I resisted theming it MLP all the way through!

I don't know what it is about fountain pens, but my EDC selection colors my mood for the day.
Carrying a 100+ year old pen frames my day with care and deliberate wonder.
Carrying a modern pen with sparkly ink frames my day like "Star vs the forces of evil" and I giggle like a 12 year old all day

Heading into my last days with my current employer - and as an Employee whose job was research and creativity I am leaving behind what feels like a thousand unexplored loose ends.
All had some value to me.
Few will be picked up by others and explored.
Never enough time to do them all justice.

Is this the first time #eurovision had allowed voting from the beginning, as opposed to at the end of all the songs?
I don't remember it being this way...
... it just seems unfair to those later in the show.
