this is a total banger, and the DDR charts for it are pretty fun too!

it's funny how tame this snippet from James Mickens' "The Night Watch" looks in 2019 https://sdfn-01.ninjawedding.org/media/oO1-mv3Qbb8a5MXLcho

why is it called a "hotfix" if you have to restart after applying it

for example, I just learned this: https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/15/apple-brings-back-the-peach-butt-emoji/

a totally unspecified design feature of one implementation of an abstract pictograph took on such a strong emergent meaning that it is now part of what you might call the public interface of that pictograph

some of you might relate this to https://www.hyrumslaw.com/

on a related note, I have found out that I have libicu 44, 52, 55, and 63 installed on this system. it's no wonder no two programs seem to handle text the same way

Emojipedia now has a "random link" function (https://emojipedia.org/random/) and between that and the increasing number of links in the explanatory text, I have been thoroughly TV Tropes'd

my 🙀 discovery for today is that many non-BIND DNS servers have an option to use BIND as a backend

fun snowstorm on October 31, so no trick-or-treaters. on the other hand it means I get to sit back with a slow cooker and relax so

as a tech outsider, I have come to the conclusion that the primary use of ElasticSearch and MongoDB are data exfiltration

first time I've heard this one

I see this a lot in Java code, which I guess fits

lawful evil is people who provide ISO 8601 timestamps without seconds

bukkake hentai but it's about the Navier-Stokes equations

hey so why does RSS use RFC 822 dates and not, say, ISO 8601

ok it turns out this has a really easy solution:

• Windows processes just don't do signals (probably a good thing)
• signal and raise as standard really seem like plain ol' accidents

nothing weird here, I guess

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a

this really came about because it turns out that you can catch SIGTERM portably but you can't send SIGTERM portably, which IMO is really bizarre

one of the many things I love about the C standard library is that it provides a standard way to catch signals (signal) and for a process to raise a signal for itself (raise) but provides neither a standard way to start a process nor send a signal to another process

"but C is used in places that don't have a process concept"

yep, it sure is, and to that I'll say that the entire signal.h part of the standard library may be omitted by a conforming freestanding implementation; see section 4, paragraph 6 of the C11 standard. so if you implement signal.h you've probably got an OS and you'll have some process concept; and if you only have one process, your implementations of "send signal" are trivial
