Stock market are such a terrible joke, one dude’s dick can make it crash
What are we doing.. 
@stux well... that was a dick move 
@NatalyaD @neil well, for reference, here is his blog post. obviously don't badger the guy if you think he's wrong (or me, if you think he's right).
i woudn't normally do this because it's a bit too close to "look at this idiot" for my taste.

I must admit that I don't read that post in the way that you do!
@yatil I’m always so torn. It’s cool to have new tools in my hands as a blind person, but on the other hand the way these tools were developed are sustained. And are used to perpetuate harm, and who they benefit most, makes me extremely wary.
@Turtlecatpurrz It's fair to be conflicted about this stuff. Ableism puts you between a rock and a hard place.

Donald Trump saying Tim Cook should replace Jensen Huang tells you how much Cook sold out to Trump. And, why is the President saying anything about who should head a company? (Because he’s a fascist who is for the fusion of business and the state.). https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/nov/12/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-resigns
@heidilifeldman At this point Nvidia is just a supply chain company. That’s all that’s about.

@erincandescent I was once told a story about POSIX functions named brk and sbrk, and the conventional heap slowly growing into the brk space. Is this outdated?
Or do you mean even brk/sbrk are fundamentally just asking the virtual memory page allocator for pages, when you get inside of the libc?
@mcc @erincandescent the wikipedia page for brk/sbrk notes that mac os x emulates sbrk and its implementation of brk always returns an error.
replacing fuckboy is simple. great clown Tim Cook is in town. go see him, cheer you right up
i know i wrote this as a joke but
> Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social: “NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place – TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend!”
People management is hard. I did it for a short time and was not good at it. I was winging it without training and with low baseline EQ. Would love to know how folks for whom management is not second nature onboarded to the role successfully.
@clark There are some good books on the subject. An evergreen recommendation is DeMarco & Lister's "Peopleware," which while being a bit long in the tooth (first published 1987!) still has a bunch of interesting things to say (imo)
@arod Wonderful! Mirlo seems perfect. There's enough on the website for me to pitch it to my students, so all I really need is a contact (I assume you?). Maybe send me an email at makohill@uw.edu so I have it? Students pick on Tuesday, and I'll let you know either way then.
@mako great, just sent you an email

take all the AI money out of the economy and invest it in a nationwide 24-hour diner initiative
I had a terrifying realization that I haven't looked at what's happening to speedrunning lately, and that all the fun is probably being sucked out of that too
Has the community managed to make policies to insulate itself from the dreaded Claude vs Claude match?
How long until OpenAI and Anthropic release a bunch of reports saying they spent millions of dollars and took the fun out of this field, take a look at the results, buy our subscriptions
@cwebber i mean, speedrunning is already well-separated between "tool-assisted" runs, where using save-states and frame-by-frame playback and all that other stuff is allowed, and "live" ones which only allow things that are possible to do on a real console
i can imagine folks trying to use genAI to come up with better TASes, but live runs seem safe

To my knowledge, this is a misunderstanding. Virtual memory means the memory addresses you look up are altered on the fly to keep different processes from seeing each other's memory, which on any OS made in the last 25 years happens to all memory, including the heap.
@hatzka there is malloc(), and there is mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS). I am trying to figure out if there is literally any difference between the two in the year 2026. Even if it's an insignificant difference. I am trying to figure out the difference. My *assumption* is that if nothing else using the latter may sometimes avoid memory fragmentatoin.

We need to be reducing violence by men. We need men as a whole, and in plenty of specific cases, to be emotionally healthier. The patriarchy needs dismantling.
I hate that in English media, it's largely only right wing sources that cover antisemitism....
