Too many uses for this word, but I'm glad it exists.

I'm so fucking tired of the logic of

"It's the responsibility of neurodivergent people to act neurotypically and to annoy no one"

and I want it to stop

Reduce, reuse, recycle... repair!

This week, we proposed the ‘right to repair’ initiative, which will make it easier and cheaper for consumers to #repair defective goods.

By repairing more goods and using them longer, #EU consumers can not only enjoy sustainable consumption but will also achieve considerable savings!

I sometimes get asked for good resources on Open Systems Theory and Sociotechnical Systems Design and though it useful to collect them. View this as a personal curated list of materials to check out.

The AC of the dungeon

guysss cmon,, whose idea was it to not tell me about clangs __builtin_dump_struct ?

to think of all the hours I've wasted writing format strings to dump struct fields at runtime 😭

it leverages the fact that the struct definition is known at compile time to generate pretty format strings and dump struct fields at runtime

and here i was praising rust for its "{:?}" format string (which is still considerably better i will admit)

Early #OnThisDay, 23 Mar 1944 , Maureen 'Paddy' O'Sullivan parachutes into occupied France to be a radio operator for the British Special Operations Executive. She is never captured.

Wireless was the riskiest SOE job as the operator had to stay put whilst sending/receiving messages which Germans were triangulating. The radio kit fit in a suitcase.

A German guard once asked Paddy what was in her suitcase. She laughed. “A wireless, of course!”.

New blog post: How to speed up the Rust compiler in March 2023

@jonn I'm not sure it fits the same niche, but I'm really enjoying Physics World (https://physicsworld.com/p/our-portfolio/). They have decent apps delivering their digital editions, and the quality of writing is very, very good.

Similarly, I've been a long-time subscribed to Linux Weekly News (https://lwn.net/). It's well worth the price, although the format isn't very magazine-like I guess. The quality is next level, though.

I also grew up reading magazines and think it's an underestimated medium!

No, thank you.
