A tulpa in search of wings.

Trying to scientifically prove that GPUs have other uses than (badly) simulating neural tissue by day, hunting scattered dreams by night.

Recently took a liking to swimming. Never learned proper technique but it still beats the crowds and injury-proneness of gym -- and I get to live the Dream Pools vibe every time.

@bruce@darkmoon.social @bob_zim@infosec.exchange @cR0w@infosec.exchange Speaking of history, at least in bash, if you put one or more spaces before your command, that command does NOT get saved to your command history. 👻 This is sometimes useful when you have to repeatedly run a very long command and then want to do a one-time test of some variation of it without breaking your "up+enter" flow.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I've no idea what is going on in that image but it certainly is aesthetically pleasing.

@clever_reports@mastodon.art Loving the color palette on this one. It really hits that feeling of a hot cup of tea that keeps you cozy in spite of the night chill that's setting in.

Replying to @pinskia@hachyderm.io
@pinskia@hachyderm.io @crazyeddie@mastodon.social @lina@vt.social The difference is that in Rust the compiler bugs you to actually adopt the latest best practices with varying degrees of insistence and helpfulness, while in C++ you can go for 20 years without ever even hearing about them. And if you do hear about them chances are that at least one of the developers of the code base is an old curmudgeon who doesn't like the syntax for new features and so you are stuck with (a subset of) C++98.

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @lina@vt.social Idk, the person I hear it most from is very much a C++Next fanboy. The usual reactions to any complaints about the language are "ah but C++25/30/40 will address that" and that failing again "skill issue, shoulda used $feature". My biggest problem with C++ is that nothing really pushed people towards the modern helper features so all the old style code remains mainstream.

Replying to @lina@vt.social
@lina@vt.social There is a *fuckton* of pride at stake among C (and C++) developers. "C(++) is a perfectly good language, just write your code correctly from the start and never make mistakes" is a statement I hear with almost frightening regularity. Of course that usually also correlates with said people being rather found dead than admitting they may have made bad design decisions in the past (or worse, mistakes while implementing said designs).
