@mastodonmigration @lauren Indeed. Leadership matters.

I made any entity with my surname an honorary bovine type. 🐂

There's memes about people adding small bits of paper towel to food, to see how much paper towel you can add to, say, pasta sauce, before people notice. And as people observe, you can actually get away with a decent amount without anyone realizing. Eventually, people can tell, but you didn't suddenly become a paper toweller *then.* You became a paper toweller the first time you put paper towel in the pasta sauce, and then there was an entire window of time where your food was dubious regardless of whether it tripped any detection thresholds.

Doors are open for VIP passes again. Within two minutes, the line to my left reformed. These folks are trying to get some limited edition kaiju of some sort. There appears to be a raffle? The line might be for getting raffle tickets.

No browsers at our table so far, this is unsurprising, if any of these early access folks wanted what we have they probably got it last night, when they were also the only people in the building.

General admission opens in half an hour. I hope things pick up then.

@venya

Guess you picked the wrong week to give up red wine and chicken risotto!

@kmcphillips @searls yes! A game I played so much it will be ingrained on my consciousness forever

@Jaimieserotica

Yes!

They taste better than they look.

also if you like rust, hate genai and are interested in a new language, there's inko

no-genai policy, on codeberg now, cool author

i think the only downside rn is that they're on discord. hope that'll get fixed eventually

i'm also curious about why impl blocks don't explicitly put tyvars into scope, like impl Blah for Array uses T because it's defined as such. i think it's much better to have impl[T] Blah for Array[T]

Some of the hotel staff are wearing masks. Good!

rust is great but it's not an excuse for slop

@ai6yr

Yesterday Grandfather Mountain admitted to snow, but said they planned to be open today.
They DID advise that you call ahead this morning, which I bet became a "not today".

@Legit_Spaghetti someone went through the trouble of printing that out? AI slop children’s book that was never even proofread?

Who and why?

To preserve my few remaining SAN points, I’m not touching the AI thread with a ten-foot pole.

I did my tour of duty debating-with-walls when we still had young earth creationists trying to proselytize in the forum in the noughts.

Thinking about it. They were more fun than the computer creationists are.

@fesshole This isn't a fess but it is nearly art in how vaguely it is written and how little it conveys. "I work in an office. I know what is going on when you write virtually the same email every couple of months."

Early Olimpico from Cloé Lacasse ‼️

It's the fastest playoff goal in NWSL history (1:57)
