Smári McCarthy

@nicolas_hery Thanks!

Jai looks like a well-designed language. Along with Odin and Zig, it is on my list of something to explore (once it comes out of closed beta). Thank you @smarimc for this detailed write-up of your experience building real software with it! smarimccarthy.is/posts/2024-12-…

But either way, it is massively disingenuous to say they want to stop illegal migration and drug trafficking while also maliciously defunding the network of organizations the US has built up over decades to help combat those very problems.

@HitDaWallAgain @StatisticUrban They have higher numbers because they have a lower threshold for sexual assault and higher reporting, compared to countries which actively try to silence it or ignore it because it's inconvenient.

@StatisticUrban Do sexual assault per capita in Sweeden.

These countries seem to do really well on all the statistics, has anyone ever commented on this?

Lava slowly creeps towards the police chief of Suðurnes, Iceland, during interview.

@vanamerongen @zack_overflow Sounds like just before the morning coffee. This definitely needs more explosions for when the caffeine really kicks in.

@zack_overflow This is great for when you’ve had 6 coffees and 11 Club Mate

Revamped the gratuitous explosions and particle effects to the code editor I'm building And added sound effects! (Sound on!)

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

RIGGED ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA 🇬🇪 I've spent the last 48 hours proving fraud in the Georgian elections. Let me show you the evidence in 2 charts. Chart 1: Russian tail...

@DoriBjoss @elonmusk Haha. Tjá, ég gæti það ekki, enda ekki með kosningarétt í Bandaríkjunum. En jú, einhverjir gætu það!

@smarimc @elonmusk Þú gætir skrifað undir þennan lista, fengið 1m$ og kosið síðan Kamala, það er ekki tæknilega verið að borga fólkinu fyrir að kjósa trump.

@fermatslibrary Yay! I was waiting for them to discover that one!

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find. It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

@evapanpandora Tja. Hann er allt í lagi svosem.

@smarimc Svo er hann líka svo fáránlega hot

Ég vil bara þennan gaur aftur á þing. Hann var bestur.

@pettter_e That's entirely possible. I didn't want to project that though, because I simply don't know what they want. I'm not in their head. This is also why I didn't want to suggest any specific courses of action. There's a very large spectrum of possibilities for them.

@smarimc I think you're entirely too charitable to the Whitehouse ghouls including Biden. It's not that they _can't_ rein in Netanyahu, it's that they don't _want_ to.

@iamharaldur This is the most brutal, and yet most fair take on Berlin ever.

This is pretty profoundly wrong. Arenas are great for control and performance, and have nothing to do with Rust (thankfully) or virtual machines.

Wear high visibility clothing at all times so you can be seen by drivers

Your brain on FP is believing that remembering ~50 functions is superior to learning a single language construct

@mbauwens @RachelWest80012 It's a spambot.

@RachelWest80012 This is for you, dear @smarimc

So. @WestJet owed me €600 compensation because they delayed my flight 2 days. They only send money to PayPal, which is dumb. I accidentally chose an account I opened while in the US, therefore a US account, and now @PayPal is refusing to give me my money for 180 days. What do?
