@nprofile1q... I assume it's Aho-Corasick-as-a-Service?

You can't expect this handheld with *checks notes* gigabytes of RAM and eight cores to search emoji locally, can you?

This post captures a lot of my discomfort with generating code using LLMs: you might review it today, but so far everyone I know stops reviewing it eventually.

Seriously considering dusting off my degree, I could start being useful in about two years of school plus supervision.

If anyone is confused about why this is funny: Imagine you have two password fields on two different forms Form A uses a password hashing function (e.g., Argon2) on your password and stores a hash. ...

@nprofile1q... oh man, remember how much of a pain it is when you come out and now you have to change all of your passwords to start with "gay?"

Thank goodness the kids these days have password managers.

@nprofile1q... yeah, this would be an intermediate compiler output -- it looks like version 0.32.1 of this tool has a corrupt package in some way, 0.32.0 installs.

The release notes for 0.32.1 are content-free and the commits are mostly updates to a markdown file being written for -- I guess? -- an agent of some sort? so it's kind of hard to tell what they broke, but they (or their agent) broke something.

Well! Here's a rustc error message I've never seen before.

This is from `cargo install cookcli --no-default-features`

Well, TIL about the STAR-MC1 core and the drama around ARM China kind of doing its own thing.

Apparently I'm wearing a STAR-MC1 right now (there's one in the Pebble Time 2). It's vaguely similar to a Cortex-M33.

Got an inquiry from a recruiter who thought describing each of the company's founders' exploits would catch my attention. (Hint: it generally does not.) One founder was described as:

"famously built a nuclear fusion reactor as a kid"

I mean, by that logic, I built a spaceship as a kid -- in that neither of the things we built worked.

But it's a great way to communicate that your founders are into grandiose statements and are likely believers in the "Great Man" idea, which is a hard no from me.

@nprofile1q... I think lately, the "dry ball" class of issues I've found on boards have usually been caused by, like, incomplete plugging of via-in-pad slurping the paste into the netherworld, or similar.

But yeah, Oxide's got some crazy stackups that really need to bake thoroughly, and we had some thermal inconsistencies in reflow early on. That one's at least easy to fix with heat.
