stop doing multithreading
computers were never meant to do more than one thing at a time
years of fixing thread safety bugs yet no real use found for calling pthread_create
wanted to go higher anyway? we had a tool for that, it was called 'faster clock cycles'
"yes please lock this struct banana for me. please give me compare_and_swap 2 of it" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
look at what programmers have been demanding your respect for all this time, with all the threads and mutexes we built for them
(this is real multithreading, done by real programmers)
[recursive_timed_mutex] ???
[future_category] ??????
[lock cmpexchg] ????????????
"Hello I would like to async() please"
they have played us for absolute fools
if your cat often bothers you at your computer and walks all over your keyboard, it's because they're trying to join you and do what you're doing. It's a sign of affection! One way to mitigate disruption without pushing away your cat is by buying your cat their own laptop and plugging it in next to yours. make sure the laptop has wifi, a VPN, and access to the darkweb
the masto (tusky) experience:
1. scroll through timeline, click on the top of a long thread and read it
2. read through that same exact thread again in your timeline as you continue scrolling because you follow everyone involved in it, but this time it's mixed in with other posts
im not sure what the best solution for this is
thread on a UK subreddit about "what's some unpopular opinions"
"the NHS sucks for mental health stuff", "yes, people in the UK are still racist", "fuck the royal family", all perfectly fine threads
"trans people aren't a threat": immediately locked that comment thread and anything related to it
as of 6 minutes ago the whole post was locked for "no politics"
i really want to ask "hey what was the thing that got this post locked was it the trans people"
what the fuck tinytinyrss
looking at their API reference for Boolean values they don't enforce it being true/false
it's just "what does PHP consider falsy or "f" or "false" "
ngl that's kinda cursed
I was planning to NIH-syndrome a compatible client and now I have to deal with *that*
love a system where "False" is silently true
especially for an API
