** Job posting **
I don’t write about work here. Not really as a rule, but out of habit.
It is a Saturday, and this morning at around 1 AM the federal government here in the U.S. fired my entire team, and the whole group they worked out of, 18f. This means that the team I was on is now just me. I was the only one not from 18f.
Nothing about this will increase efficiency or help anyone, at all.

A love letter to Void Linux
I installed Void on my current laptop on the 10th of December 2021, and there has never been any reinstall. The distro is absurdly stable. It’s a rolling release, and yet, the worst update I had in those years was one time, GTK 4 apps took a little longer to open on GNOME. Which was reverted after a few hours. Not only that, I sometimes spent months without any update, and yet, whenever I did update, absolutely nothing went wrong. Granted, I pretty much only did full upgrades ... ⌘ Read more

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net Its been so long and never really thought about it.
- Arch was great but always had issues.
- Gentoo was great but not enough patience to compile when I need something quick for work.
I haven’t really looked back since I installed Void. Sometimes it is a pain when things don’t play well with MUSL but nothing that would make me change course.
This is a valid reason to stay home from work, right? ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am a big fan of “obvious” math facts that turn out to be wrong. If you want to understand how reusing space actually works, you are mostly stuck reading complexity theory papers right now. Ian wrote a good survey: https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/~iwmertz/papers/m23.reusing_space.pdf . It’s written for complexity theorists, but some of will make sense to programmers comfortable with math. Alternatively, I wrote an essay a few years ago explaining one technique, with (math-loving) programmers as the intended audience: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/ .
