@clarke3110 Just saw this. Big loss, great actor and dinosaur fighter

RIP Sam Neill.

@VH19781984 @MitziPepall @historyrock_ Buckethead can play anything that prince did easily. I’ll ask for a great guitar piece from Prince and people will say Purple Rain, which for any decent guitar player is not a problem. Prince was really talented but top 10 is a complete crime

@MattStopa @MitziPepall @historyrock_ There are almost countless guitarists who can play solos like that. There are a handful of guys like Vai, Malmsteen, Govan, Holdsworth, Di Meola, etc.

Top 10 greatest guitarists according to Consequence Magazine. 1. Jimi Hendrix 2. Eddie Van Halen 3. Tony Iommi (Black 4. Chuck Berry 5. Prince 6. Jimmy Page 7. Sister Rosetta Tharpe 8. David Gilmour 9. Jeff Beck 10. Nile Rodgers

@AskerAesir @SeanMcCDerry @historyrock_ I mean even take Steve Lukather. Steve played on more hits than anyone. These lists are trash. Most people who talk about these lists don’t even know how Gilmore or Lukather are

@SeanMcCDerry @MattStopa @historyrock_ One solo shouldn't be enough to be in top 10, or before Gilmour.

@MitziPepall @historyrock_ Yes everyone and their mother talks about this performance and it took prince from generally not being in the top 100 to being in the top 10. He’s a great guitar player and better showman but he’s got huge rating inflation more recently

@MattStopa @historyrock_ I don't care about ratings. This performance by Prince is completely brill. Thrilling, in fact. youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5…

@WR4NYGov It’s amazing how little people know about the law (myself included at times). I’ll hear people say that someone said they didn’t like a their product and they are going to sue them for slander. Uhh, not how it works. We should really teach kids the basics of the law

Love non lawyers demanding Tesla “take liability” for FSD In an accident, anyone injured can sue Tesla. Courts decide liability. There’s no magic spell where Tesla takes liability. Should Tesla be responsible when someone overrides the software?

@wyattmattoe Looks very cool

Day 5 of building a snowboarding game with Fable 5 🏂 It’s snowing. New UI, more animations, better lighting, and multiplayer in progress. All playable with an Xbox One controller. All raw WebGPU, no engine.

@Jacobtheclipper LOLOLOL Wow.

Imagine spending thousands to watch this fight and Conor blew out his knee in the first 5 seconds 😂😂😂

@strzibnyj Wow this is nuts

You won't find this in my books 😅😆

@clarke3110 Man it seems like there are very few series that don't completely go in the trash after a season or two. IDK why.

Just saw Heroes is on Netflix. That first season and a bit was awesome, then it went completely south.

@ns123abc I'm gonna enjoy the tag team against Sam and Open AI.

it’s over

@th3pr3x @antirez He never said Zig was bad.

@antirez the day someone will drop redis after years of misuse and mistakes, replacing it with a Anthropic driven rewrite based stuff, explicitly passing the message to the community "redis is bad, this new stuff is good", please come back and say it again

People for years told me why I never talked about competitors of Redis. The Zig / Bum drama is a good warning. Do your job, without thinking everything is some form of competition or comparison. So: do your stuff, leave people that act lawfully alone.

@tiredkebab Sellout? That's the whole idea.

Kelley actually called Sumner a sellout if you read between the lines. Honestly, the whole Bun porting article did sound like a promotional piece for Claude.

@davideisaacson @yesTHATsteve @LoudOutside Actually using bear spray on a human is illegal. Even if you are in fear for your life. Which is crazy but true. I doubt they’d get charged though

@yesTHATsteve @LoudOutside He wasn't walking away, he was walking towards another of the girls. He's not a park ranger, he's not LEO, he doesn't have any authority to harass people or enforce laws. Girls were 100% in the right on this and it's about time Boomers start acting like fucking adults.

Man tries to intimidate a group of girls and gets bear maced

@Trav_Sol @creativeburne All it took was 1 lie

@creativeburne Unreal! "I was unguardable" against Michael freaking Jordan at 16! Real talent.

LeBron James says he wasn't able to get on Michael Jordan court at 16 and nobody could guard him "playing in an Infamous pickup game with Michael Jordan when I was 16 years old...I finally was able to get on the court first of all MJ Antoine Walker and the rest of those guys did not let young guys get on the court at all" "it takes while to get on the court it's usually when the older guys they get tired and they don't want to play no more they like whatever but I did" "I was able to get on the court alongside I was on the court with Michael Jordan Antoine Walker Penny Hardaway Michael Finley all these guys who guarded you nobody I was unguardable"

@_xcrunch_ @simonklee I think you are in the minority thinking there were actual any hard truths here.

@MattStopa @simonklee obviously andrew’s post lacked the level of editorial tact but it was more honest about the motivations of the project. the line about oven’s “cloud project” (+others) shows iykyk. the flaw of the article is mixing hard truths with unecessary language

I like Zig. I'm one of the relatively small number of people who gets paid to write Zig professionally. Yeah, that may sound arrogant, but the reality is that there aren't many "Zig jobs" out there. Incidentally, the project I work on also uses Bun. I want Zig to succeed. I remember talking to Joran from TigerBeetle forever ago, and my only question was something along the lines of how TigerBeetle could succeed, because it's one of the few major supporters of Zig. It's incomprehensible to me that Andrew chooses to publish something like this. The blog post doesn't help the Zig project. It only alienates users and contributors, moves attention away from what Zig is trying to achieve, and makes the project look bad.

@bradgessler @bscholl Refreshing to see something that isn't a Fable/Grok4.5 video game in my feed.

We need more people like @bscholl to share what they're building.

@coreh @simonklee You're nitpicking here. Obviously the context is "How good Rust is for their project". It's not in a vacuum. For what they need there really isn't much of anything else.

@MattStopa @simonklee It wasn't even about how good Rust is. It was about how Rust ended up being a better fit to the very specific mix of GC, Non-GC, External C/C++ interop and complex multithreaded lifetimes that Bun has. The post literally mentions that most projects aren't like this.

@kellabyte They zigged when they shoulda zagged. Sorry had to say it. I concur though

Often enough details don’t matter How Zig vs Bun story will read to uneducated is Bun credited Zig for their start but needed something with more guarantees (I can relate in the DB world) cuz their team was unable to tame stability Zig responds personal attack. Dark day for Zig

@FredKSchott lol

eh, its probably fine [hits publish]
