Terrifying. My nightmares will return.

Or association of lables/groups of actions with binary unit encodings[3]. aka programming languages (integration) and binary encodings (differentiation of groups of bits associate with programming language feature(s) into how relates/associates with underlying hardware aka compilation or on line by line basis via scripting).

programming language 'type' punning gives programmer way to use/access an associated encoding (typically binary) and programming language abstraction[2][3]. aka ieee floating point specification[1][2] -- programming language level -- just the typical human readable number notation vs. binary encoding is just linear group of bits, where portion is number, portion is exponent.

Why?


About 15 years ago I tagged along with a friend who was going to an anthropomorphic conference in San Jose. One of the small meetings rooms I went into was a bunch of people in cinematic quality Klingon makeup and costumes, talking in the klingon language and getting drunk on specific drink concoctions described in the show using custom made accurate dishware.

That has become my base unit of fandom hobby: 1 klingon. The commitment to the sport of fandom I saw there is my standard and it elucidates wherever I see video like this what I'm looking at.

This video is nowhere near 1.0 klingons but it is the same sport


For education. For preserving history. For the challenge.


A reminder that space weather affects years of human efforts not just the satellites we launch now. I hope that there is much to learn from 40 failures.


This is a fun product


With you on that. I think having a workplace is a benefit of having a job. The cognitive load of pretending that you are at work, without any benefits of having a OSHA/legal workplace, is a cost that gets put on the worker. Companies should, at the fucking minimum, provide a stipend if they arent going to provide a workplace. Not to mention the skills that the employee loses by working at home, getting burnt out or over-worked, and then suffer and are paid less when they change jobs. But.... Burnout happens, since I was a child.

I enjoyed learning the difference between NixOS, nix (eg, nix-build, nix-env,...) Nix Language, and nixpkgs.

Knowing the difference of tools in the belt is like knowing the blades themselves. You can always make your own tools.

If I can't package something with nix, then I call it "metal"


Something needs this, but not me.
