I have just discovered that clang's stdarg.h does not implement the __need___va_list convention.

This is either completely irrelevant to your life or you now want to flip a table. You know which one you are.

Sysadmins, what software do you like for configuration management when the top priority is being able to reproduce a server configuration from a scratch install, but there won’t ever be more than one of it at a time?

Everything I’m finding seems to believe you have an entire data center to wrangle and I cannot with the mental overhead.

Back in 2011 I asked a basic question about bitcoin on the birdsite and someone answered me.

This week, that response has gone viral among bitcoin true believers for no apparent reason and of course this is blowing up my notifications and there’s no way to stop it. If I react in any way on there, it will only make the problem worse.

I have to be on birdsite for professional reasons, but nuking my account feels more like a good idea every day.

Relatedly, I can’t quite believe his tiny thing holds a terabyte.

Ain’t no rule that the hard drives have to be inside the case

There's a subgenre of rock anthems that I can't listen to anymore without getting annoyed at the protagonist. Take Def Leppard's "Let's Get Rocked" for example: the average ordinary everyday kid should sack up and do his fair share of the chores, and if he really hates his girlfriend's taste in music that much, maybe he shouldn't be dating her.

(Disclaimer: I am easily old enough to be that kid's dad.)

(Also, since when are early 90s rock anthems grocery store music?)

I’ve always told people considering grad school that the most important factor is who your advisor will be. I still stand by that, but, watching this ceremony, I realize I may have under-valued the aesthetics of the academic gown you will wear if you graduate from university X and then go on to be faculty yourself.

As a general rule women are more bothered by cold than men, and conversely men are more bothered by heat, therefore it is a crying shame that men’s dress clothes involve multiple layers of fabric covering almost all skin surface and women’s dress clothes tend to be one layer leaving all one’s limbs and part of the torso exposed, it should be exactly the other way around. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
