Needs to incorporate this truth in the next iteration:
“All modern communication would collapse if about 50 people, most of which are furries, decided to turn their pager off for a day”

Probably a little tasteless but this plane flying into that stack à la 9-11.
You say tasteless I say dark humour
All the furries in one plane should constitute as national security issue.

This is demonstrably false. Correction:
most of whom are furries
All your internet traffic is likely going through at least one network administered by a furry. It seems like there's a much higher proportion of furries in network admin and cybersecurity jobs compared to IT/tech jobs in general.
This just made me realize that the first time I heard the term "furry" was from the network guy I used to work with 20 some years ago .

I love that the shark can take down whole modern digital infrastructure, but it can't stop C developers from writing dynamic arrays.
Some species are just perfectly adapted to their niche...
C developers were already writing dynamic arrays before computer data was running through underseas cables.

Wow! I’m quite annoyed that it was fixed by restoring the previous package while the author had explicitly deleted it. That seems contrary to the laymen interpretation of code ownership
npm is a bunch of cucks. Folded to the lawyer threats immediately but ignored the authors wish to remove his work off platform, and made sure it's no longer possible?
I have to remember never to use them to share my code. God bless I'm not a node dev.
Wtf.
I love how the NPM CEO gave him the tool/command to remove all his work from the platform. What a dummy.
I also support the idea that he should be allowed to remove his work. It should have been republished according to the license. With a forked new name. IMO. But I know what a nightmare that would be.
It looks like the AI screw jack is reverse threaded which wouldn't be obvious until you begin turning it... and that actually isn't a bad metaphor for today's AI.

And it always flips aws/cloudflare with the unpaid open source devs. In reality the former keeps failing while the latter doesnt.

"Whatever Microsoft is doing" hilarious!. Microsoft is such a total retarded company. Unfortunately Google turned evil too. Any for profit company can turn evil. I'm never going to place full trust in anything that is not 100% fully open source.
Any for profit company can turn evil.
Any for profit company ~~can~~ will turn evil. Fixed this for you.

This implies removing the unpaid opensource developers balances out The AI in short term and idk how to feel ahout that.
Nah, the angle would be too aggressive - unless the boards have an extremely high friction coefficient, they would slide off to the right (along with anything on top of them).
You know, it's like, I look at an old time clock, or a mechanical cog, or something. And I think, if I were to throw a bug in there, at the right time at the right moment, at the wrong gear...
Next week on my podcast: Jenga!
Jesus fuck, can we give this poor abused xkcd a rest?
There's no stopping this now. Just ride it out.

What's up with the Rust hate? If anything they should be the flat bar under AWS.
What's up with the Rust hate?
The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren't broken.
They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it's still fun to give them a hard time about it.
I think the real issue isn't the rewrites, it's the fact that Ubuntu started using the new Rust coreutils even though they weren't ready for production yet. uutils hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet, and still fails some compatibility tests.

Mostly the circlejerk about how memory safety magically fixes all security holes for me
