dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

I still have a Twitter account. I barely use it at all. I mostly use it to check in on my friends who are still over there. The vibe on that site just keeps getting worse over time. It incentivises conflict.

2025 is the year of not giving a fuck, letting go and reclaiming your power

This is what I do, too.

I legitimately wonder if there's a way to document the C++ standard libraries in a way that's not obtuse. cppreference used to be okay at it, but these days, large pieces of it feel as if you were reading the standard itself.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Also here is nice. It's not only aboit what Twitter became. It is also about what Bluesky is

The central delusion of pundits who desperately try to guilt people into coming back to Twitter: they genuinely seem to think we all secretly MISS Twitter and are merely hanging out over here out of a drab, self-flagellating sense of moral superiority no, we're here because Twitter sucks shit now

Relatable as heck.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

this is my new favourite video on the internet btw

This is Max. He snuck out in the middle of the night and walked 5 miles to get a breakfast burrito from a store that gave him one once. They hadn't opened yet when he got there, but Max was found the next morning thanks to his GPS collar patiently waiting outside for his well-earned snack. 14/10

This is a really profound observation on the difference between expressions of genuine hurt over a wrong committed by people invested in the narrative of your life, and online vitriolic teeth-bearing by people who just get off on your existence as sport.
