I once worked on a binary that mysteriously contained a JavaScript interpreter, a Python interpreter, a PDF decoder, and Xlib. Tracked it down to a single log statement that was using a web-capable print library. Delete the log statement, delete the insanity. For a while, anyway.

I'm not annoyed by this bug, just mystified by how it happens: somehow, every time I add the sqlite amalgamation — sqlite.c and sqlite.h — to my @PlatformIO_Org project, it adds Doom as one of my dependencies. Easy to work around, but puzzling and also KIND OF HILARIOUS.@joeycastillo@mastodon.social (@josecastillo)Mon, 03 Oct 2022 04:00 +0000

oh goddamn it OKAY Y'ALL I FIGURED IT OUT. SQLite has a line where if you haven't configured it, it tries to include a config.h file. Because the @arduino mbed core includes Doom in its libraries — which has an unrelated config.h file — the dependency checker tries to pull it in.

We did an episode on functional programming in Go with Aaron Schlesinger back in 2019… But that was before generics were a thing. Let’s revisit the topic and discuss the pros and cons now that we have generics. What’s changed? What hasn’t?

💡A really great way to start a new job is to volunteer to write tests: ✅ There are never enough tests ✅ Coworkers will be grateful ✅ Learn the codebase ✅ You can't break anything ✅ You will learn things you didn't know about product ✅ Future you will thank youswyx 🌴 (@swyx)Tue, 20 Nov 2018 04:49 GMT

"It's mild now" suits people who prefer - not having to spend money on improving ventilation, good masks, or sick pay. - workers continuing to work & travel while infectious. - profits, over overall population health.

ADHD makes us impatient, which makes emotional regulation harder. We don't just want to deal with our emotions, we want it to be dealt with NOW. And time shortsightedness means sadness seems to go on forever. We can't remember not feeling bad and so struggle to see past it.Danny (@ABCsofADHD)Sun, 02 Oct 2022 12:12 +0000
