It’s amazing that, in all the amazing big brain 4D chess ideas the man’s supporters claim he has, never once did the thought ‘maybe don’t be a shit to everyone’ occur.

Every feature needs an engineer to build it.
If engineers won't build immoral features, they won't happen.
It works. It worked right here.

The layoff email from Twitter is the first email in history that should have been a meeting.

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

Tesla only exists at this point because of carbon credit sales, because the cars themselves aren't good value. He's basically admitted that Starlink isn't viable at a reasonably priced commercial level. Boring Company is an exercise in scamming gullible governments. And so on.

Something the Twitter purchasing is heavily reinforcing is the fact that in real life, Elon Musk isn't actually a very good businessman. His entire entrepreneurial career has been predicated on people giving him large amounts of money with little thought or oversight.
Finally. 🤩 Writing extensive unit test suites in Swift without macros is such a pain today.

At the #LinuxPlumbers Rust MC: "I'm Matthew Wilcox, I'm one of the authors of the NVMe spec, I'm the one who suggested you make an NVMe driver to demonstrate the value of Rust. You have succeeded beyond my wildest expectations. These performance numbers are phenomenal."

People talk like the lack of mutable aliasing is just an implementation detail of Rust's borrow check that could be fixed with a small tweak somewhere, when in fact forbidding mutable aliasing the entire point of the system. With mutable aliasing, there is no memory safety.
One of the many things Rust got right: splitting a type's structure from its code (i.e. methods).

github copilot is incredible. it just sells code other people wrote, but because it's an "AI" it is apparently allowed to launder that code without it being a "derivative work". lol. lmao. what an amazing grift.

mold/macOS is 11 times faster than the Apple's default linker to link Chrome. Measured on an M1 Mac mini.
