发现搞理论研究的人使用 Macbook 的比例还是挺高的

Seen an interesting article last month, fell asleep while reading it. Didn't remember anything. Want to reread it today. Cannot find it anymore despite 2 hours of searching...

第11話「存在忘却のパンドラ」 为什么有一种完结的感觉 😂

@hcl
TL;DR: never use localtime for message exchange.

So there are two totally opposite explainations to abbrivation CST in timezone. One is China Standard Time(UTC+8), the other is Central Standard Time(UTC-6). The choice between these is depended on the programmer?? :0520:

I hate #JavaScript, especially when every piece of junk nowadays, and even conventional desktop program is being programmed in JavaScript. But recently I spent some time thinking about it – a rudimentary, quick-and-dirty system, but quite effective for solving problems, and went like a virus and occupied everything.

JavaScript is Worse is Better.

Like #Unix.

It would be a contradiction for me to accept Unix-like OS but oppose to JavaScript. Perhaps I should join the Evil Script Empire then?

Wait a second... is #ARM saying there's a CPU instruction that does #JavaScript floating-point conversions now?

Apparently they are: infocenter.arm.com/help/index.

This is mildly absurd.

While copying a bunch of 20GB blu-ray rips, it occurred to me that I once decided to only rip my MP3s in 192kbit instead of 320kbit, just to conserve a bit of valuable disk space.

That probably was a ridiculously short-sighted decision...

In related news: it's about time I start archiving everything in 4k, x265. Right? Right.

@hcl ProTip: due to incomplete server synchronization, viewing the full follower list on the webpages of other instance, and follow them remotely, can discover more users.

Trying hard to discover new users through others following.

今天抽空重新翻了一下《Fortran 95/2003 程序设计》,发现其实现代 Fortran 应该说相当强大,泛型以及运算符重载也可以轻易做到(之前从来没想过)。而且查了一下今年还会有新的 Fortran 2018 标准。

然而现实是,搞计算机的根本看不上 Fortran,搞科学计算的抄起 Fortran 来就是一把梭,代码质量极差。

Remember

Not everyone can self host software systems.

Not everyone wants to self host software systems.

Not everyone gives a shit about tech

Most people just want to go online, do their thing and move on with their day

If there is a mass exodus from GitHub / GitLab or others we people hosting our own infra need to be good about discovery, community building, community engagement and more.

We also need to figure out how to federate authn/authz. I'll skip over submitting small things if it means yet another account on yet another server run by yet another random.

Centralization isn't great but it does facilitate discovery, community and engagement.

We need to keep this at the back of our mind.

I wonder when will there be a federated github thingy. I've been using gitea for a bit and I really like it, but I feel like needing to make an account on other peoples servers discourages contribution, especially in issues, bug reports and even just asking questions.
