Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)

I am sorry to report that the last two publications recognizable as computer magazines in the classic sense have abandoned print. (You probably didn’t notice unless you were a subscriber.) I was moved to write a eulogy for the whole era. https://www.technologizer.com/2023/04/15/the-end-of-computer-magazines-in-america/

A mechanism for #LongCovid

I am beyond excited to finally be able to share what I’ve been working on for the past year.

At the beginning of March 22, I discovered a potential mechanism for #LongCovid. It was a unifying mechanism that could explain every single symptom that patients were reporting, something I never thought possible for a disease that has over 200. Yet, this mechanism actually did.

I’m experimenting with different kinds of content, as I want to keep my social media thriving, it’s important to me I remain connected to the community and it’s the main way I find commissions. What do people think about occasional tutorials? Simple one pagers like this or longer form videos? #drawing #sketchingtips #howtodraw #sketching #illustration #procreate #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #ttrpg

He insists his videos aren't funny, but I'm howling! 🤣

I never wrote about tech & software in anything other than English. Today, I am starting my Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Telegram channel.

Ніколи не писав технічного матеріалу українською, тому я вирішив спробувати ділитися своїми нотатками з україномовною 🇺🇦 публікою.

At times, representing the variety of types a value in #Postges (or any SQL database) can take through multiple tables can taxing, both in terms of development complexity as well as, potentially, performance.

You must just need a value to be of any of the given variants. I've set out to build a generalized mechanism for defining these.

Wow that #Substack CEO interview is a train wreck:

Q: No, I really want you to answer that question. Is that allowed on Substack Notes? “We should not allow brown people in the country.”

A: I’m not going to get into gotcha content moderation.

Q: This is not a gotcha... I’m a brown person. Do you think people on Substack should say I should get kicked out of the country?

A: I’m not going to engage in content moderation, “Would you or won’t you this or that?”

My only Substack Note so far.

TBH, this seems worse than having the road blocked by climate activists for a few minutes.

So for over a week now Elon Musk's circle of friends have been going on and on insisting that Bob Lee's killer was obviously an unhoused individual and blaming the city for not jailing more people.

Now, it turns out that the guy who killed him was another tech exec who knew him, and they were originally in a car together.

Well. This is something else, innit.
