Torturer Class ROU CVE-2026-LGTM would absolutely be a member of the Interesting Times Gang.

For DB, this type of outage is referred to as "Tuesday".

Yes: Premodern and Legacy. Personally I like Modern and don't mind having things shaken up fairly regularly, but if you want more stability play Legacy and if you want ultimate stability with no new cards ever, play Premodern.

GSD has a reputation for being a token burner compared to something like Superpowers. Has that changed lately? Always open to revisiting things as they improve.

We make art because humans are compelled to express themselves. That's it. That's the whole thing. It's not stack ranked. Humans make art because, in the words of Pile, "I want answers to some questions that I can’t speak."

The idea that you'd stop trying to express yourself because you're comparing your own artistic voice to the output of an LLM and somehow seeing it as less valid, or less worthwhile, is just sad.

I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it's genuinely sad for you and for all of us as a species.

Strudel is dope and a ton of fun, but every single piece of its interface seems determined to confuse people who already know music theory and composition.

That's not really a point against it, it's a great tool and it's a ton of fun, but I wish there was a way to use it that at least kind of sort of mapped back to traditional music notation, especially rhythm notation.

I vividly remember the first time a friend showed me PHP in the late 90s. You're saying I can just write a script that generates HTML and throw it in /foo/index.php and that's the whole thing?

It's wild that right up until Rails got popular, we were writing code that served billions of requests off of homebrewed MVC-ish PHP frankenframeworks.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification. So are the rumors around Cheetah being based on a Grok model just straight up untrue? I want to try Composer but have a pretty strict no X/Grok policy.

Is it true that Cheetah is Grok Code Fast 2? Does this mean that the new Cursor model is also based on Grok?

Good old "sketch-resistant materials". If a tweaker can't get through your lock/chain before the cops (might) show up, you're probably fine.

When all else fails, drummers are the best security anyway: https://loudwire.com/sleeping-drummer-stops-band-trailer-the...

If only there were some way to take all that work of pedaling and efficiently translate it into torque on the rear wheel, right?

I assume there'd be a big single rectangular bounding box or sphere, and only once a projectile is in that range, then animations occur.

Now that's a fun one to think about. Hitscan attacks are just vectors right? So would there be some perf benefit to doing that initial intersection check with a less-detailed hitbox, then running the higher res animated check if the initial one reports back as "Yeah, this one could potentially intersect"? Or is the check itself expensive enough that it's faster to just run it once at full resolution?

Either way, this stuff is engineering catnip.

You'll annoy the hell out of some people, and thats fine.

Some of those people sign my paycheck though.

This kind of exploratory/creative programming is bar none the most fun you can have as a software engineer. I love reading write-ups about projects like this because you can practically feel the nerdy joy radiating off the screen.

Plus the translation issues, where you can have an absolute sledgehammer of a haiku that would need to be watered down in order fit the "correct" meter in English:

in kyoto / hearing the cry of the cuckoo / i long for kyoto

Until the scenery gains an appreciation for them, you might say.

It's amazing how much fuck-you-and-fuck-who-you-fuck-with Russell managed to fit into a few ink smudges on a piece of paper.

Don't forget to implement the crucially important "no returnsies" security algo on top of it, or you'll be vulnerable to rubber-glue attacks.

Anyone got a recommendation for a replacement? I'm currently using Warp and the history/context-aware autocomplete-on-meth is nice, but I don't use any of the new agentic features.

I love that (and I say this with zero shade intended) you can never really tell which "Use Emacs for x" posts are goofs and which ones are serious.

...and farm labor has been limited in recent years.

"Train routes across Germany have been a bit congested recently."

I remember that as well, but only because it's mentioned in book 8 of The Expanse.

I don't know if this is the official term for it, but that just sounds like metagaming[1], i.e. incorporating knowledge of the opposing player (or of trends among a group of opposing players) into how you play the game.

There should be a whole checklist of "Things that were still a hard problem in The Expanse" that any space-related startup has to answer.

My partner is a mathematician who realized (along with the other members of their working group) that if they were to deviate from the standard alphabetical authorship order, they could author a paper on the DILF Theorem.

I think there's an additional step of "Find out what they want" that was left out of the original comment because the desires of actual toddlers are (usually) not fundamentally evil.

Do they want to exterminate your loved ones? Do they want to ship dissenters off to concentration camps? Do they want to simply profit off of the people in power who are doing those things? If so, the whole process has an early return case that's more along the lines of "Antifa rally at Omaha Beach."

It's got electrolytes, it's what abiogenesis craves.

These people are anarchists! No really, they are. The stoop coffee to "It takes the hood to save the hood" pipeline is real.

And to top it all off, they're charging us for the soup, and it's getting more expensive every time we give them another ingredient.

Legacy modern code

As opposed to Vintage Pioneer code?
