The Environmental Protection Agency only being measured by how much limiting pollution harms businesses instead of saves lives makes the claims that MAGA is literally a death cult hard to dispute.

@davidgerard wait until two companies merge and they both fully used 10.0.0.0/8 but now need to communicate with each other

Good write-up of a memory leak in Ghostty. Without knowing anything about Ghostty except that it was written in Zig, I wonder if there is/was a way that they could have used an ArenaAllocator to avoid the leak. It could be a difficult rewrite or has a risk of performance degradation but it is a useful memory management pattern.

Liberals thinking that the Minnesota National Guard are the "good guys" is just incredible. Didn't we just watch National Guard troops harassing other cities?

Microsoft renaming Office to "Microsoft Office 365" was pretty stupid.

Renaming "Office 365" to "Microsoft Copilot 365" is just incredible stupidity

The picture of him holding his phone, in a club, prompting Claude is perhaps the most depressing thing I've seen yet

This is on the HN front page and honestly it makes me lose faith in everything about the software engineering industry.

@skyfaller @kateiacy brief Google links to docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/to so I'm going to assume that it's all aggressively cached and that's why it still works

@skyfaller @kateiacy looks like it works still...would have to dig into the code or protocol to understand how I guess

Ok wow that's a funky bit of undefined behavior, if you just do `sub acc` it sets the accumulator back to zero. Not defined in the manual at all.

I don't quite understand how this works correctly though. Guess I need to test it in the game....
