In-reply-to » What's everyone up to? 🤔 Good weekend so far? 🤔

@yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja This in and of itself ☝️ is why I believe so strongly that the whole “Fediverse” concept is utterly broken. You cannot scale human interactions like this. It doesn’t work on a centralised system, and it doesn’t work on a distributed system either. 🤣

In-reply-to » Omg! I'm always playing on those pixel placing canvases, where it's usually an endless war of factions or just things being attacked for no reason, but now someone did the most wholesome thing imaginable and drew another inugami facing mine and drew them shaking paws. Media

@thecanine@twtxt.net This classic and all-time favorite masterpiece came to mind immediately: http://myfunnymemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Flying-Camel-Is-Very-Polite-As-It-Soars-The-Desert.jpg

In-reply-to » @prologic 1. It's criminal: Copilot was only possible because of massive theft of other peoples' work (no compensation or even acknowledgement to any of the developers whose code was used to create Copilot) 2. It's positioned to put software developers out of work or so fully de-skill them that they no longer know how to code anything but prompts (after which come corporate-justified salary and benefits decreases)

@abucci Sums it up perfectly.

In-reply-to » @eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex mentioning another open source OTP app that's been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I didn’t know that, thanks! I generally don’t use the password manager on iOs or macOS even for that matter though, but thanks 👌 I do however recommend it to family/friends (but with iCloud turned off for obvious reasons)

In-reply-to » How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Agreed, I find it rather ironic really. First Microsoft stole everyone’s open source works, without asking, without acknowledgement, Now they’re giving CoPilot free to use to all those they stole from?! 🤦‍♂️ LIke da fuq?!

@abucci Yeah I feel the same way. On both points 👌 I find it ethically immoral to use CoPilot specifically.

After several hours of debugging in a larger task force yesterday and today, we finally figured out that we must have ran into an XFS bug (seems to work fine on ext4). An ftruncate syscall hung forever and hence the process was caught in an uninterruptible sleep. This was the first time I ever witnessed kill -9 not to “work”. But I learned a bunch of new stuff. I never dug this deep into the guts before.

Some of you probably know that /proc/$PID/syscall tells you the current system call the process is executing. And /proc/$PID/stack returns the kernel stack trace. Awesome stuff!

That’s a wonderful article on that matter: https://tanelpoder.com/2013/02/21/peeking-into-linux-kernel-land-using-proc-filesystem-for-quickndirty-troubleshooting/

Don’t use it. No one should ever use it. You’re destroying your own future as a software developer by leaning on and supporting these things.

In-reply-to » Uploaded some photos from my recent trip to Iceland and New York doing an artist residency coding shaders: http://darch.dk/fotos/

@darch@neotxt.dk! Man! These are some cool pictures! The Iceland gallery was the most beautiful in total to me. How else can it be, right?! ;-) Very beautiful scenery and lovely colors overall. I’d love to see that with my own eyes one day. Very hard to choose, but I have to highlight the following pics:

Additional nature shoutouts go to:

The latter one perfectly fits this sign: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230807_140853.jpg (probably a sunset, though ;-))

I had to chuckle at this one: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-07-iceland/IMG_20230802_112551.jpg

Which brings me to the art pictures. Interesting museum visits. Mostly funny and neat ideas, but also some weird ones. I immediately liked that one (again, obviously): http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230825_200517.jpg All these chairs look really cool, great photo, mate! Perfectly fits into the art category itself: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230829_162111_HDR.jpg

That one is a good mix of nature and art combined, with a touch of ugliness, that brings its own beauty, though. It’s a bit hard to describe, but I hope you get what I mean: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230827_114645_HDR.jpg

NY has some really ugly spots, that’s quite a contrast. I especially get that feeling when looking at this brilliant shot: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230830_114320_HDR.jpg It portraits the shabbiness perfectly. I’m very glad I don’t live in a concrete and glass desert but rather a town. However, I have to admit, the views from the skyscrapers aren’t so bad.

Thank you very much for sharing all of them! I certainly had a blast going through them.

In-reply-to » Circles do not exist However almost every “circle” you can see in printed media (and most purely digital ones) are not, in fact, circles. Why is this? Since roughly the mid 80s all “high quality” print jobs have been done either in PostScript or, nowadays almost exclusively, in PDF. They use the same basic drawing model, which does not have a primitive for circles (or circle arcs). The only primitives they have are straight line segments, rectangles and Bézier curves. None of these can be used to express a cir ... ⌘ Read more

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net Hah did not know this 😆 But am also not surprised 🤣
