Here is an insane piece of lore inside SQLite's source code I am researching VACUUM and I was studying their code. In VACUUM, SQLite creates a temp file prefixed with `etilqs_` Here is why:

In my view, the oft-repeated take that we can stop caring about the code an agent generates in the same way that we don't care about the assembly our compilers generate is misguided. Unlike generating code from a spec, compiling code is deterministic and measurable.

Someone said that our Sega Dreamcast ports were a pointless waste of time today and that nobody will play them… Meet my son, who was the first kid to ever play Mario 64, Doom 64, Mario Kart 64, Starfox 64, Sonic Mania, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, and now The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time—some of my all-time favorite games from childhood—on my favorite console, the Sega Dreamcast, for his first play-throughs… and his little sister plays with us as well. Despite the fact that we actually do have a thriving homebrew scene of people playing and supporting us, I could not give less of a shit if anyone else plays them or appreciates the work… This is all the validation I need.

@hellobeatrix The Dragon's Back hike is lovely!

My first time in Hong Kong next week! Any recommendations?

@bunnvamp @NHKWORLD_News Ah, intensity vs. magnitude! Thanks!

@Deadok22 @NHKWORLD_News 0 to 7 is the measure of intensity - what is actually experienced in different locations, rather than the magnitude at the epicentre. So the Noto Peninsula quake in 2024 was (I think) 7.6 magnitude and it was 7 intensity locally, but I was in Matsumoto where it was 4 intensity.

Japan has issued its first-ever mega-quake alert after a magnitude 7.5 tremor shook northern regions late Monday night.  www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne…

I picked up a paperback after years of reading on Kindle. There's an urge to tap on words

the main issue with video games is that a guy who, if he lived in 1820s germany, would have done something like document every type of beetle in his local province instead ends up making a 26 part youtube series about how to get all the rings in every sonic game

new post! it's called "computational tyranny" it's an extension of a thread I posed here, trying to point at a common thread between a couple of problems I was thinking about recently give it a read! linked below

"A calculator app? Anyone could make that." Not true. A calculator should show you the result of the mathematical expression you entered. That's much, much harder than it sounds. What I'm about to tell you is the greatest calculator app development story ever told.

@tagir_valeev Обнуляемый? Коннотации, правда, не очень

Как бы вы назвали по русски nullable type и non-nullable type? Коротко, одним словом + тип. Сказать «тип, [не] допускающий значение null» я и сам могу 🙂

Hey @DiveShearwater, a user can click install without much consideration or e.g. not knowing what "Tissues will be cleared" means and end up in a less-than-safe situation... Are there plans to improve the UX?

@gunnarmorling That makes for poor copy UX, but that's something @github can fix, I imagine?

Show-casing JSON snippets in a README file on GitHub? Then consider marking them as json5, so you can have proper in-line comments.

@halvarflake o11y is also a plausible answer to each of these questions

Dear o11y Twitter, people talk about "pillars" of o11y etc, but really I see all of o11y as 4 questions: 1) why is it not working at all? 2) why is it slow? 3) why is it expensive? 4) why is it working incorrectly? Are there other questions that I am missing? What's the split?

Goosebumps.
