101

By Jon S. Stumpf

May your signals all trap
    May your references be bounded
All memory aligned
    Floats to ints rounded

Remember ...

Non-zero is true
    ++ adds one
Arrays start with zero
    and, NULL is for none

For octal, use zero
    0x means hex
= will set
    == means test

use -> for a pointer
    a dot if its not
? : is confusing
    use them a lot

a.out is your program
    there's no U in foobar
and, char (*(*x())[])() is
    a function returning a pointer
    to an array of pointers to
    functions returning char

the former president's campaign has disavowed the project and recently went so far as to say its "demise would be greatly welcomed," while Trump urged his supporters to boo it at a campaign rally.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe for a fucking second that this is anything but optics. It's not like conservatives have to explicitly say they're following the playbook, but they obviously already are – many Republican lawmakers are members of the conservative organizations that wrote the fucking thing (see eg. this bit of news from TN)

Guess it's sort of appropriate that you have to pay for crushing dystopian sadness

"Harris immediately framed her candidacy with a specific false reference to this case as a contest of 'prosecutor vs. convicted felon,'" Trump's filing says.

Harris' framing is an "inaccurate attack," it adds, without describing an inaccuracy. Harris is a former district attorney for San Francisco and attorney general for California; in May, Trump became the first former president convicted of a felony.

This is straight out of the reich wing playbook; they'll complain about how this or that is a lie, but they will never fucking ever actually specify what was the part that was incorrect. They just go "librul lies!" and their base eats it the fuck up

A fairly in-depth and "dense" C3 talk about the AGC that covers the architecture and instruction set, the hardware implementation, peripherals, and the system & mission software.

Really interesting stuff if you're into retrocomputing and/or computers that got people to the fucking Moon, and if you're not the sort of person who turns into an unskippable cutscene when the AGC is mentioned, you'll probably learn a lot. If you're like me and you are that sort of person, you'll probably enjoy the talk anyhow.

(book tips: The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation by Frank O'Brien for AGC details, and Digital Apollo by David Mindell for a general overview of the automation in Apollo)

I have some ideas about what we should do with Musk and Trump, but they're against instance rules

Conservatives are only capable of empathy if their ideology directly affects someone they care about. Good on them for finally getting there, but they're a day late and a dollar short

Any predictions on how long it'll take for conservatives to start outlawing sterilizations for women?
