Kernel Panic

@yacineMTB IKEA or Lego?

I need to learn assembly

@elonmusk It's kinda mean to make quadriplegics walk on their hands isn't it?

Yes, and enable quadriplegics to walk again and use their hands

@neogoose_btw It's easier than configuring each DB to return the right endianness, byte alignment and word size.

I never liked databases as an idea. You literally send a string query over TCP to postgres and it returns you data over tcp as strings. There is so much potential to make this whole thing better …. but everyone seems to be just fine with it.

@Colonthreee I print out diffs in QR and tape them to the server room wall so I can recreate any release.

Version control like "git" is just creating more work for everyone involved. There is no reason for this to be so complicated, convoluted, opaque, and behaving like it knows best. It should not require the user to know a billion commands and "tricks" to use. It's unscalable.

@everestchris6 I feel like some AI solutions are better than others. I mean sure society needs dancing anime girls but do we REALLY need live fire monitoring?

this OpenClaw bot watches NASA wildfire satellites. when a fire starts, it finds every at-risk home nearby, renders fire hardening fireproofing upgrade on their actual house, and mails them a postcard, all on autopilot. here's how contractors in fire zones can close $30k–$60k fireproofing jobs with this: - pulls live fire detections from NASA FIRMS satellites every 5 minutes - finds every home in the fire perimeter from public records - captures the property via Google Street View - classifies roof type + fire vulnerabilities using AI vision - generates a NASA satellite image of the neighborhood with real fire hotspots overlaid - renders a fire hardening retrofit on their actual house - prints a postcard with the NASA fire map + before/after retrofit + QR code every step from fire detection to mailbox runs without a human reply "FIRE" + RT and i'll send you the full guide so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM)

@TheRMVoice It was obviously a funding problem, they need to raise property taxes again!

More than 6,000 students gone in a decade—and now schools may face cuts and consolidation. Families are leaving Colorado’s public schools. The question is: why? rockymountainvoice.com/2026/04/14/ada…

@nickshirleyy That's what happens when you hurt their wallet.

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown. The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America. Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California. The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

@wookash_podcast It's an easy way to sunset obscure features.

Why companies feel the need to redesign their UIs every now and then? Who benefits? - company loses resources on design, implementation and rollout - users get annoyed, need to re-learn how to do things they knew is there a study that a refreshed look helps you acquire users or something?

@vikrambuilds The precision in the language is inversely related to ambiguity.

@colonelmanic Yee

unpopular opinion: devs love complexity because it feels smart

@elonmusk They should all dig a hole and pave it.

Boring away

@elonmusk How many still do? What kinda countries are those?

Yeah

@elonmusk They still report on rescue dogs... don't they? That's credible.

Zero

@MitchsBrew @PierceLilholt That's a giant green screen of "we need funding" with no results... so until it can prove something I'm going to assume that the entirety of the tech is smoke and mirrors.

@colonelmanic @PierceLilholt Assuming it works, it can

Why are governments racing to control quantum computing if it's just faster math?

@steve_shives You know aside from the writers and actors being from Trek...

@steve_shives You just described The Orville

What I would do if I were in charge of Star Trek (but seriously): Solicit pitches from writers who have never worked on Trek, episodic format, no legacy characters, no explicit sequels/prequels. Pick the best pitch, hire a diverse cast/crew, let 'em make their show. That's it.

@Coloradosearch1 But muh peaches!

Colorado is being warned of the water shortage coming, people can now cross the CO River on foot in many areas this time of the year when the river should be flowing full. Agriculture must have the water, time to cutoff or limit golf courses, McMansion sized yards and private pools.

@johncrickett Reverse-engineering a struct from raw memory reads is always a good way to grok pointers.

Every programmer should learn C. Implement a linked list, hash table, and binary tree. Then build a simple CLI program and a basic network server. Not because you'll use it daily, but because it strips away every abstraction you've been hiding behind and shows you what's really beneath whatever language you use daily.

@bestofStarTrek The Orville would be nice.

What new Star Trek series do you want next?

@rushicrypto Pinko commies.

Can some explain why it takes years to build anything. Roads, schools, bridges, etc. but data centers are everywhere overnight!?

@F0ODHub I like mine with lettuce and tomato...

Fries aren’t available, what are you having with this burger?
