Just turned on The Muppet Christmas Carol. I’m not sure if I’ve seen this before. If I have I was child and don’t remember.

You are Elon Musk. You are the world’s richest man. You have wealth the emperors of the old worlds never dreamed of. Every good, every experience the world has to offers is open to you. You spend your days of limitless access reading and sharing the thoughts of a man named cumlasagna1.

A post to my future self, who may find this unbelievable: somehow, over a course of a decade, this dude managed to continue to shock and horrify -- that whenever you thought he could sink no lower, he found a way with some new act of unfathomable indecency. And he did it for A DECADE.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Was at Barnes and Noble and couldn’t resist picking this up. It’s been awhile since the last time I read MAD.

Keeper update!
▪️Noir mode!
▪️Ultrawide monitor support!
▪️New accessibility features!
You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)

Yesterday was the snowiest November day in #Chicago history. 8.4” fell at O’Hare Airport (Chicago's official measurement site) breaking the previous record of 8” set in 1951. Here are a few more photos.

Video of the One Billion Row Challenge stream is now up at youtu.be/tCY7p6dVAGE! We got down to 1.2s without any external dependencies, and it was a fun journey down lots of performance rabbit holes (only some of which panned out 😅). It is over 10h, but hopefully the chapters in the video help!

Enjoyed this intro to the Raft consensus algorithm, part of a larger DistSys lecture series by @martin.kleppmann.com. The pseudo-code makes it actually digestible really well. Great watch!

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉
