@elba dropped off some delicious homemade pozole (served with buckeye beans), and it was popular with all members of the household

Pixel is having a very relaxing #caturday. She would like everyone to know that she is cute.

This is your periodic reminder that 10 years ago an audiophile forum started debating which versions of memcpy had the highest sound quality.

And that C++ new sounds better than malloc.

@dan we were discussing this at work the other day. I was amazed just how *angry* that thread made me.

Not sure if it was the unearned confidence, the tutorial-grade playback code presented like it was a PhD thesis, the phrase "engineers think that bits are just bits", or a combination of all the above.

@dan and a friend of mine pointed out that thread, or a related one, as an example of a very bizarre form of cargo cult programming.

Added some new Mastodon monitoring infrastructure for discuss.systems.

Sure, every good #MastoAdmin has a cool Grafana dashboard, but we're going a bit more old school here...

@dan that is excellent. I like all kinds of old electrical equipment and reuse.
