I still sometimes have people trying to convince me that European leaders have understood how to deal with Trump and that they can be trusted to handle him and yet they still do clown shit like this.

Really wild story: the US pressured sponsors of an European disinformation conference because one session mentioned disinformation from the US gov't. The EU immediately pulled its sponsorship. Absolute cowards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Birds, primarily waxwings, are getting drunk on fermenting rowan berries.

Every time I see a cybertruck on the road I yell at them to get more polygons. It's not 1991 anymore

Amazing mural painting from Quebec. #muralpainting #photography #art

Brilliant. And in that same lovely back-footed Scandi-English key as Norsemen, which is blissful.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

I heard someone speak about election security and election legislation many years ago, and they said something I think applies much wider than I realized at the time: «No politician is motivated to change the system that got them elected»

Henry is surprisingly short for his 45 years. A little rounder in the face than you might expect, a little heavier than you might expect, and he is extremely, extremely eager.

Strikingly accurate for a bloke with that accent. youtube.com/shorts/NKSPd...

Hop cones out to dry. Left: "klev". My first harvest from this plant. Very mild aroma. Not enough for a brew. Not sure what to do with it. Right: "hulla norrgård". Surprisingly citric aroma (a characteristic otherwise mostly found in American hops) and decent bitterness. I will brew with this one

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Does anybody know if there is a conforming implementation of C++26's std::polymorphic that stores small object in situ? I'm trying to avoid writing one. #cpp

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

“How strong should the eject mechanism on this miniSD card slot be?” “Ah, just fuckin’ send it mate”

We make equipment, hardware. I, a software guy, was called to a meeting where we discussed cooling airflow impedance matching with plug in boards vs with blind panels. I don't think I've ever felt so unable to contribute anything of value. Basic school physics only gets you so far.

Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

My parents are about to throw away an Apple II Plus in the DFW area that was working when last booted in the early 90s. Anyone into retro computers have an idea of how I would match it with an interested hobbyist?

OK, so from now on, I'm gonna do a Cato. Maybe something like: "and furthermore, I think you must understand your code" Please suggest better phrasings. I presume that you know what I'm aiming for.

Vibe coding or not, doesn't anyone test things anymore? How in the world is it possible that so many software updates lately are so obviously worse that what they intended to improve upon?

so I've been looking at my finances, and all my income sources have plummeted I'm gonna have to shift my focus away from #half-edge and giving talks, because unfortunately they're huge money sinks I can't afford if you can, I'd appreciate your support, especially now ❤️ www.patreon.com/c/acegikmo

What would be a good name for a type function that changes template argument types? For example, if given a T<A> and a B, it will produce T<B>.
