Amid the pandemic, Kennedy and like-minded allies similarly assailed reports of deaths from COVID-19, arguing that they were deaths “with” the deadly virus and not “from” it.

Oh boy, it’s this bullshit again! You’d think after getting totally pantsed by excess death studies they would know that argument isn’t gonna cut it.

I fondly remember the time I hired a QT expert onto an embedded app team and on his first project he imported a sort algorithm from std. He found the system got weird and glitchy, and often crashed.

Yeahhh turns out the algorithm he chose needed to make a copy in memory and the thread he was working in only had 2048 bytes of stack, so larger inputs would corrupt the stack allocated to the next thread. I had to explain to him that we had a full second to complete the math before we had to give back our semaphore, so saving a couple milliseconds on the sort was not a priority. Fun times.

When I see this, I feel profoundly confused. Also embarrassed.

Hey thanks! Feels like home, unfortunately!

I love that a person decided to make this beautiful, delicate tribute to something as common as a bug on a head of cabbage.

I absolutely love some of Lynch’s work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.

I don’t believe you. Gnome 2 was pretty much universally loved (hence the existence of Cinnamon, which is a direct descendant), and people were pissed about the tablet-oriented Gnome 3. You’d know this if you used Gnome 20 years ago.
