THE BELL JAR HARD ❌ It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York EASY ✅ That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani. The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

Take note.

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

taking a go at oxcaml today first attempt: let's try a parallel reduction. Idea is to compute the "sum" of [f(lo), ..., f(hi-1)] in parallel, combining via some associative function g (and corresponding zero element, z).

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

This week on the blog! Part 2 of our look at the famous opening sequence of Gladiator (2000) this time looking at formations, signals and infantry tactics. Once again, Gladiator does a deceptive job of pretending accuracy, while not achieving it. acoup.blog/2025/06/13/c...

we already lost our industrial base to china, now they're beating us at our own culture

Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, but not because women are better leaders. Women can be trash too. Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, because if your country is too sexist to elect women about 1/2 the time, then it's not selecting leaders on talent.🤷🏿‍♂️

This week on the blog: the big iconic opening battle scene from Gladiator (2000)! This sequence has become the image of the Roman army for many, which is unfortunate because - for as fun as it is - it doesn't work much at all like a Roman army. acoup.blog/2025/06/06/c...

@nicbarker.com in your video about C, what editor/IDE do you use? It's zoomed in so hard to tell :)
