And now I've added cpp to my build process, giving me the ability to make macros and to # include files 😊
This is some advanced qbasic development lol

I actually had it building using djgpp's preprocessor under DOS but it was too slow >_> so now it's a build step in windows, alas

This is brilliant.
"This is the crux of the Yard-sale model. In a free market, one person ends up with all of the wealth – completely by chance. "
New rule for software design discussions: if your argument for a design includes the words "the unix philosophy", your design is automatically rejected, with no appeal available.
If you mean a specific design goal, say what you mean. "The unix philosophy" has half a dozen definitions, unix never followed any of them religiously at all times, and has become shorthand for "I like this and don't feel like unpacking why".
Oh ho ho ho! Hahaha! 😂
How the worm has turned.

An important discovery in the past quarter century or so of extragalactic astronomy is the existence of scaling relations which very simply relate different properties of those galaxies.
One of the most intriguing relations connects the total stellar mass of a galaxy to the mass of its black hole. Virtually every evolved galaxy in the sky has a supermassive black hole in its center, and the mass of each of those black holes is about 0.2% the mass of the stars in its galaxy.
At first glance, this relation is pretty simple -- big galaxies have big black holes. But more profoundly this relation suggests that supermassive black holes co-evolve with the galaxies they live in.
This winds up begin a really useful tool: If you know the mass of all the stars in a galaxy, you can reasonably estimate the mass of its black hole! So if we want to build a census of black holes, we can start out with a census of galaxy stellar masses!

Note to self:
Flatpak stores all of its user configuration and otherwise application-specific files in ~/.var
Which is actually great for a) not polluting ~/ and b) having all of the config in one place, finally.
Although the naming could have been a little more obvious.
@drq but why not:
-/.config
~/.local/flatpak

I hate the modern internet. It's either a website blocked by a country, you are blocked by a website, or both.
I'm also very tired of spending hours of my life to solve captchas.
@MissingThePt and, if racist: anti-Black or anti-Asian?

Anyway, now I've got to go to The Outside for the annual "please cut at least 12 inches off my hair so I can sit down" trip to the salon.

@0xabad1dea Plot twist! The offending #CrowdStrike .sys file contains the text "I'm sorry, but as a large language model I cannot..."
It's never the wrong time to look at my wobbly clock http://wobble-clock.glitch.me/
^ In our RFIs, we note that commercial security software is often a boon for attackers given its deep access + poor quality
indeed, much of it resembles malware in functionality.
in the #Crowdstrike case now, it’s poorly written malware. “Skidiot” shit, as a friend would say…
For all the ballyhooing about open source, why don’t we take the security of commercial security software more seriously?
@michaelgemar @shortridge i highly doubt that, because that is not even true of the medical profession. It is a useful fast quip and all, but reality is not that.
@Di4na lots of companies need to ship things fast and as widely as possible.
albeit, much fewer have the level of access into the system that EDR has (which would suggest investing in even more “ensure the software delivery behaves as intended” tooling).
regardless, this is why build checks, integration tests, staging environments, experiments, and other software quality tools/approaches exist.
