"For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, "Of course." When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious." I think of myself as more of a glass-half-broken kind of person.

Qubic is testing us, with the express intent of pulling off a 51% hashpower attack within the next month. Mine, mine, mine. #SaveMonero

Yes, Eco, you do

You know it's the end once your default reaction to anyone asking for your political opinions is to open Polymarket

Alright, who let this happen?

We did it babyyyyy, SQA is over party

The existence of species like this proves more than ever that moths > butterflies

Pterophorus pentadactyla | White Plume Moth | UKmoths

Tfw you find a new programming language and the largest program ever written in it is its own documentation

From now on I will fanboy QUIC harder than ever All I want to see is HTTP/3 for every web request, abolition of TCP, and Nostr rebuilt on WebTransport (once Safari eventually supports it sometime in the year 2763). Oh and IPv6 too since it's okay I guess

IT'S HAPPENING, LUA 5.5

We're up at 900k blocks now? What did I miss and can I avoid missing the 1M?

How heavy is an object? Easy to tell. How large is an object? Easy to tell. How much is an object worth? I want an SI unit for monetary value lol

How big would you tolerate your application's binary executable being? <100KB? 1MB? 10MB? 100MB? >1GB?

"But what happens when the new becomes old, when the future becomes yesterday?"

TIL Go has a test coverage tool. It's pretty cool and though something I rarely used in other languages, it allowed me to fix a few edge cases in Litecode's VM. It would be nice if I could stop farting around with VM optimisations and actually write code for other parts of the system instead, but I'm sure there are still bugs to be found in the VM...

Beginning to believe that the VM/interpreter is the ultimate programming pattern. The fact it's possible to write a compiled programming language in itself blew my mind when I first learned about it. The fact it's possible to - write a VM - write a language that runs on the VM - bootstrap the language - write the VM in the language, compiling it to run on itself - jet the VM implementation against itself (not to mention the fact this allows infinite virtualisation with negligible performance degredation) resulting in a semi-interpreted language that is written in itself, still blows my mind today.
