"no politics" is the perfect non sequitur

e.g. whacks the croissant off your breakfast plate "i said NO POLITICS!"

makes you wonder what this is about. is it because the croissant is french? does this relate to the french not wanting to co-invade iraq in 2003? or is it because the croissant looks both like two dicks and the horns of satan, and thus promotes homosexuality? or is it due to the flagrant use of butter in the recipe, alluding to Jim Field Smith’s butter-carving satire Butter?

Oh my god.

All my life I‘ve been paranoid about accidentally putting the wrong fuel in my cars and it turns out THAT’S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE ANYMORE because they made the diesel nozzles bigger, so they won’t fit

Why do anxieties inherited from my dad not update themselves 🙃🙃🙃

Every time my posts go viral by mastodon standards, I get mean-spirited replies from strangers who then inform me that I cannot criticize them because they're autistic. I'M ALSO AUTISTIC. WE'RE ALL AUTISTIC. THIS IS THE AUTISM SOCIAL NETWORK. IF YOUR REPLIES ARE REGULARLY UPSETTING THE PEOPLE YOU'RE SENDING THEM TO, THE PROBLEM IS NOT AUTISM

Fun fact: Box::<[i32; 6]> is half the size of Box::<[i32]>

It seems that when a Box contains an unsized type like a slice, the Box value includes both the pointer and the size.

I know references did this (&[i32; 6] vs &[i32]) and I guess it makes sense that Box does it to, but I never really thought about it before.

Inspired by @fasterthanlime introducing me to Rectangle Pro - https://rectangleapp.com/pro (which has replaced Divvy for me), there are a few other macOS apps I really like:

• rcmd, which allows app switching by using the right hand cmd button and a letter of the app: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/

• Big Weather, that puts a small weather forecast in your menu bar: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/big-weather/id1531449281

• Hand Mirror, for quickly seeing what your webcam sees: https://handmirror.app/

Apple’s new slogan should be “act different.”

Today, we informed Apple of our preliminary view that its App Store rules are in breach of the Digital Markets Act, as they prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content.

We also opened a new non-compliance procedure over concerns that its new contractual requirements for third-party app developers and app stores fall short of ensuring effective #DMA compliance.

TIL in Rust one can use .. in tuple patterns to omit elements, much like in struct patterns:

fn foo() -> usize {
match (1, true, "foo", 2) {
(1, .., y) => y,
(x, true, ..) => x + 1,
(.., foo, y) => foo.len() + y
}
}

Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

Dear neurodivergent Twitterverse, I suspect one of my kids might have/be ADHD. I am suspicious of self-assessment tests, and would like to learn more about the SotA for testing (ideally quantitative tests without practice effects). What outside of TOVA exists? Anyone with experience with any such tests?

Also: while I think it's unlikely, I'd be interested to see what reliable tests for neurodivergent traits exist that are for adults?
