Just found out that one of the guys behind Mehran’s Steak House is a former Middlebury student I coached on entrepreneurship 🤯

My 2 year old was grunting in his chair at dinner, so my wife asked what was going on, and he says “mom, I want to un-fart it”

I just got a 7 year old C++ codebase (4.2GB compiled + another few hundred MB of source-compiled dependencies) running on Aarch64 for the first time (previously only x86_64) AND a new compiler: only about 20 lines of code actually changed in 3 functions (one of which was copy-pasted from another)

BRB just watched Ahsoka and now I’ll be starting a howler ranch

@dev@discuss.systems I’m compiling Tensorflow from source right now and it’s insane how much faster it is than an high-end Intel AWS instance with same number of cores, even running inside a Ubuntu VM

Everyone’s been complaining about Rosario Dawson’s emotional reserve playing Ahsoka and I keep insisting it’s a reflection of the story being told and the character’s natural growth, and holy mackerel if this episode didn’t prove me out. #StarWars #Ahsoka

Thomas Dickerson @elfprince13@mumak.app · Sep 13, 2023

You know it’s about to get real when Star Wars busts out the ponchos

#StarWars #Ahsoka

*scene 🤦🏻‍♂️

My 2 year old saying “I’m closing all the doors in case no one can escape” is very cute and shows he has been paying attention to our instructions about keeping the cats inside but is also 100% a seen from a horror movie someone hasn’t written yet

Thomas Dickerson @elfprince13@mumak.app · Sep 05, 2023

working on budgeting like "NUMBER GO DOWN"

Thomas Dickerson @elfprince13@mumak.app · Aug 30, 2023

Well hot damn that was a Star War and a half.

And last week everyone was complaining #Ahsoka was too slow

Glad to report everyone’s favorite green space mom is still space momming

@jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz @TaliaRinger@mathstodon.xyz there aren’t clear cut answers here, and as Jon says it matters what specifically your work is being used for.

@jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz @TaliaRinger@mathstodon.xyz I I’m a staunchly anti-war libertarian and am WELL aware of the shit show that is the last 70+ years of American foreign policy but like…I also have friends who serve in the National Guard and doing work that could result in them being less likely to die because of bad equipment or planning is something that I would be proud to contribute to

@Jonimus@social.treehouse.systems it’s also pretty clear to anyone paying attention that the MC takeover was externally funded specifically to achieve this end of rendering the party useless by destroying it from within

Thomas Dickerson @elfprince13@mumak.app · Mar 11, 2023

Replying to @Jonimus@social.treehouse.systems

@Jonimus@social.treehouse.systems ideological typology polling suggests a pretty consistent ~20% of US adults are some flavor of libertarian. in the year since the MC hostile takeover of the LP, membership and donations and #s of elected libertarians have tanked to almost record lows (from record highs in the 4 years preceding) - so it’s clear that overwhelming majority of libertarians out there want nothing to do with MC style alt-right bullshit

@arossp@mastodon.social @junecasagrande@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social I usually primary R and then vote Ds for national office in the general, and split ballot in local races. This year I voted Peter Welch (D) for senate but Madden (R*) for house. Neither vote actually mattered because it’s VT.

@junecasagrande@mastodon.social @arossp@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social but on the overall litmus test of “only issues that benefit rich white men” they outflank to the left anyone in the Democrat party on liberalizing immigration, criminal justice reform, and ending US neo-colonial trade policies like the Jones Act.

@arossp@mastodon.social @junecasagrande@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social my best guess is that you’re in an echo chamber and only see “libertarian” content when one of the paleos tweets something so horrifyingly bad that it gets noticed and dragged by “Occupy Democrats” or whatever vanilla progressive meme pages you follow. Do you know anything about Cato Institute or Institute for Justice?

@zhuowei@notnow.dev you still need *something* to post, right?

@rickmans@nerdculture.de much like those who use the phrase “it’s just a few bad apples” to excuse bad behavior
