Rust seems to pick a rather peculiar direction. For a language with type-safety taken seriously, mindless type conversion seems not only tolerated but encouraged. Huge swathes of Rust code are littered with .into() and .unwrap(), and for all I care, I could've just used C++ instead.This is all really disturbing.

With the recent news about GitHub — archived repos and enforced 2FA, I must remind you that GitHub sucks horse dicks and you should feel bad if you voluntarily choose to use it.

But the largest tragedy of GitHub isn't any of the above. The tragedy is that it has bred an entire generation of developers, for whom git equals GitHub and who can't even send an email, instead relying on someone else's infrastructure with -- let's admit it -- abhorrent web interface full of dark patterns and weird stupid quirks.

GitHub itself didn't become awful just yesterday. It has always been quite bad in most regards, starting from the aforementioned web interface and continuing with poor scripting and automatisation options. Remote access to GitHub without web interface is almost non-existent (not talking about gh tool here), CI is just ungodly, package management couldn't possibly be worse.Look, if a 40 year old tech outcompetes your newly developed "solution" in terms of usability, your tool probably eats shit in hell. That is GitHub for you, boys.

GitHub no longer shows the full commit hash in its interface. Whoever thought this would be a good idea needs to have his testicles privilege removed.

Sometimes I think about making a project in Java. Not that I want it on my resume or even am interested in the language itself. I just want to suffer a bit. Consider this a form of masochism.

PureScript does a much better job at organising numeric and algebra types than Haskell. Is there a library for the latter language that does the same? I have only seen `numeric-prelude` so far, but it looks weird and unreadable.

I love how Loonix people decided that you no longer need GRUB and from now on UEFI will boot Loonix kernel directly. Also, you won’t be able to change boot parameters during boot because lol they know better.

Today I'm reminded that Perl still leaks memory.#!/usr/bin/env perluse strict;use warnings;while (1) { my %hash1 = ( a => undef ); my %hash2 = ( a => undef ); $hash1{a} = \%hash2; $hash2{a} = \%hash1;}__END__

@scathach they seem to have fixed it in emacs 30, if you're up to building it from git.

Turns out, polling the graphics card for its load can actually increase power consumption in a laptop. Who knew?Well, in this particular case, my laptop has Intel CPU with embedded graphics plus 3050Ti. KDE has a GPU load widget that uses nvidia-smi to poll for the load values. Except, polling also does wake up the card from sleep even when it's not used, thus adding extra 7-10W to the power bill.

The fact that configure scripts generated by GNU Autoconf do not support caching alone is enough for mandatory castration of any developer that voluntarily chooses to use it in his project. No exceptions!

The pipeline “Autoconf -> NO TESTICLES” must be established.
