George R. R. Martin: ‘I Don’t Look Forward’ to Revealing ‘Everything That’s Gone Wrong’ With ‘House of the Dragon’ but ‘I Need to Do That Soon’
  • I’ve only read Stormlight so I have no comparison to the other works, but Way Of Kings is like 1/3rd painting scenery of crushing oppression and letting depression breathe. Sanderson is not right to finish ASOIAF, by his own admission, but it’s not for lack of skill.

  • 42 Years old and look like Homer Simpson. Should I try skateboarding and, if I do, how long should I try before deciding whether or not to give up?
  • Just my experience, I picked it up at 28 and got comfy riding easily. That’s fun and safe. Particularly longboarding.

    Once I started going for tricks, I quickly injured my wrist and shoulder and noticed my one knee having issues. Had to switch sports to bicycling (which I’m enjoying even more)

  • Hot takes on the state of Rust v C/C++ for safety (mastodon cross post)
  • Both. It allowed/forced me to explicitly handle edge cases I wasn’t thinking about. That means the error doesn’t happen at run time, but at compile time (or while writing!) so technically speaking the errors didn’t go away, they moved to in my face rather than “maybe in the future.”

    Most of the time the remedy was to explicitly catch whatever happened and nicely explain what happened, vs looking at empty production logs because logging is turned down.

    It’s certainly a preference, but for me, I’d rather argue with the compiler all day long and push a bulletproof release than quickly ship something I thought was good and be embarrassed.

  • Kublai Khan TX - Low Tech (Official Music Video) [02:17 | Rock]
  • Saw a lot of criticism of this song harping on how generic and simple the riff is. And I agreed, it’s kind of Kublai Khan’s schtick. But they’re capable of more interesting rhythms, and I realized it was definitely an intentionally “low tech” rhythm. Brought me back around.

  • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?
  • Forget those complex “classic” knots and try the “Van Wijk” knot. It couldn’t be easier, you only move the fat end of the tie and wrap it around the skinny end 2-4 times before pulling the fat end through the wraps. So fast, impossible to forget, and looks classy while being distinct.

  • The time to streamline Lemmy onboaring is now. Let's do it like mastodon did.
  • I think it’s a great idea. Let there be an Ellis Island, accepting the tired, the hungry, the poor. As long as there are signs everywhere letting them know “you probably shouldn’t live the rest of your new life here, try somewhere else!”
