Wondering if I should go into politics just to confuse people.
This story is one of my favourite things I wrote last year. I'm making it free for 24 hours, so a few more people have chance to read an example of my short fiction (and hopefully might subscribe to my newsletter).

Chickens and other poultry vastly outweigh all of the world's wild birds. This is probably not a good thing.
We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's standard library from the GPU. This has never been done before.

Supporting Rust's standard library enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming feel normal.
Today is National Thesaurus Day & it's been amazing…there's no other word for it.
I’m reading this at the moment, it’s excellent
It's "don't roll your own crypto" for the slop generation.

I read another delightfully weird book from @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social (and loved it)
Last few hours of this piece being unpaywalled, in case anyone would like a read…

An Acorn Archimedes. It looks like a standard late 1989s early 1990s desktop PC, except for its bright red function keys.
Quite possibly the most important computer you've never heard of (except maybe if you went to a British school in the early 90s).
The Actors Archimedes. The first system to use an ARM CPU. This is the great-great-great granddaddy of the CPU in your phone. No Archie, no Snapdragon.

My belated work secret santa present makes me very happy! It's another @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social book!
Happy birthday to Ivor The Engine, the little Welsh railway engine from the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company, who first appeared on our screens today in 1959. Toot-toot!

Bluebells beginning to bloom, with the Jurassic coast in the background
Thread.
Something nice happened to me yesterday: the conclusion - or maybe not - of a story of interconnectedness, that made the world feel momentarily very small and intertwined.
The story begins on April 21 2024 on a walk I'd taken along the Jurassic Coast for research for a book I was writing.
Ah, yes. This is a thing.
If you can infer that the db is likely only used for this purpose, sure.
If you can't demonstrate the credentials no longer work, you have to assume high.
This is brilliant
Looking good a good tutorial on debugging with ghidra. I want to set breakpoints, change flow, and modify memory values.
Is that possible?
I shared this with a recently cat-bereaved friend, who declared it "... wonderful... in fact, perfect"
Ha, I visited just this week when looking up one of my favourite recipes; slashdot pancakes: slashdot.org/comments.pl?...
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

Sign reading "Flytipping investigation in progress"
At what point does the sign itself count as flytipping? It's been there for years...
Scrambled egg on toast. Or any egg-and-bread combo; fried egg sandwich, egg mayo, etc.
