Why do we even have noses?
The current hole layout in human beings isn't efficient at all.
One hole input and one hole output should be enough for food, drink, air AND sex.17 -
Hello, any assembly developers here ? It's so hard, even for a simple adder ! I spent half day yesterday to code this :
```6502 assembly
; Header
.setcpu "65C02"
.smart on
.autoimport on
.debuginfo off
.import _printf
.import pushax
.export _main
.segment "RODATA"
msg:
.byte $54,$68,$65,$20,$72,$65,$73,$75,$6C,$74,$20,$69,$73,$3A,$20,$25 ; The result is: %
.byte $64,$0A,$00 ; d
.segment "CODE"
.segment "CODE"
.proc _main: near
lda #32
sta num1
lda #32
sta num2
; Perform the addition
lda num1
clc
adc num2
sta resn
; Print
lda #<(msg)
ldx #>(msg)
jsr pushax
ldx #$00
lda resn
jsr pushax
ldy #$04
jsr _printf
; End of program
rts
.endproc
.segment "BSS"
num1: .res 1 ; Reserve a byte for the first number
num2: .res 1
resn: .res 1
; Build and run:
; cl65 -t sim65c02 -o adder.prg adder.asm
; sim65 adder.prg
; Expected output:
; The result is: 64
```
Emulate it with sim65. Guys it's hard !12 -
Alright, hear me out…
Circumventing tracking protection is sometimes okay!
Let me explain!
If user explicitly consented to tracking, why can’t I track them? They have tracking protection installed (as they should, and so do I), but when they click “Allow”, I still can’t load analytics. That’s not fair.
I will show the “Decline all” button loud and clear right next to “Allow all” and “Customize”, but I don’t want user’s adblock decide for the user. I won’t load anything until they explicitly allow me to. For all I know, they can have an adblock filter that blocks consent-seeking UI elements/popups (although mine is not a popup, I hate popups), and to me they will appear as unconsenting users. I’m fine with all of that.
But why can’t I track people who agreed that I can track them?
This is why I use my own analytics url that isn’t present in any anti-tracking blocklists.
My tracking does directly benefit both me and my users, and no one else. My users because it makes the product they pay for better at no extra cost, me because when my users are happy, I’m happy too. I want to put emphasis on “no one else” — I use self-hosted things that don’t send anything upstream. I own 100% of the data. I obviously don’t sell it, but I don’t share it either. People who say they don’t sell data all while using google analytics/meta pixel are clowns. Damn right you don’t sell data — you give it away for free. I don’t.10 -

my luck is terrible
woke up this morning to a blizzard. I love snow though. had to walk middle of the road because the sidewalks had a meter of snow. so fun. tons of people shoveling their cars, interrupts to their day and awkward problem solving (love it!), even saw some people traversing the city in snowshoes... never seen Canadians not magically clear snow instantly!
got my stuff, came home, showered, put coffee on to make, decided I was gonna do a lot of laundry and clean the place. was listening to podcasts, ate cake and coffee, went nuts cleaning the apartment. even did some impromptu gardening because my plants needed some TLC. my muscles were exhausted and it was awesome
... got a new blanket on Valentine's day from the boyfriend. well turns out it's flammable or something. messed up my drying machine. ended up messing up the laundry load and just putting up clothes to dry hanging... lame. tried to fix the blanket best I can wtf.
... but while sweeping and trying to make sure the drying machine was adequately vented out... my phone slipped out of my hoodie pocket and dropped on my toe... and cracked in half
I am in despair now, irrationally
I also feel irrational fear on the matter
the phone works perfectly fine... there's just a crack across. sensors all good, visuals all fine. but noticing the air bubble in the screen protector, the tiny crack in the correct lighting, just makes me feel like such crap
feel so cursed and like everything I touch breaks. my laptop is also broken... a screw fell off the corner. I just feel so cursed. grrrr. and I don't get the irrational fear. now the reminder on my phone screen... this phone slips out of everything, I've had it fall often, but I guess because this time it landed on my toe and not flat on the screen the weight distribution made it crack. probably next time it slips somewhere it will break entirely 😔
just irrationally in fear, grief, whyyy 😭3 -
My life feels like a video game dialogue where there's no right thing to say and no right action to make.7

Been having stomach pains since I read my boss's email, giving me new tasks.
This is becoming regular btw. It happens even when I run into him.
Any advice for how to manage?25 -

They sell billions of prozac pills everyday. Prozac is well-known for increasing suicidal ideation either at the start or at the end.
There are LSD analog who does not produce any psycho-active effect but increase neuroplasticity (building new neurones, new connection and thus new coping mechanisms) and increase moods.
If these idiots didn't forbid drugs even for scientists we would have solved depression by now.7 -
Ever tried opening up x15 IntelliJ IDEA's sessions with all different repos at the same time after 3 months, so all of them would trigger reindexing?
There's the first time for everything I guess...18 -

Hey rust people
Why not just release a new version of c that automatically deallocates unused variables that are out of scope unless somehow marked to be preserved in a point in ram and their location published in some form of reference table ?
Why were people in the kernel having fake arguments over stupid bs related to being expected to add your new language?51
