LFJ is building up an army as game show-obsessed lolcow Cory Anotado is supporting End Networked Harassment and he also locked up his bluesky account once his posts were being posted here which shows that he knows about us.

shaniqua wrung out a chicken's neck as a sacrifice to papa legba and implored the gods to make saarlink work. now you must donate to a haitian charity as recompense.

 

[Null]

he knows about us.

Anyone even vaguely associated with LFJ is going to know 100% of what is said about them on this site. He's literally bankrolling people to read the forum for him.

The Kiwi Kouncil APPROVES Josh's stream request

I woke up and saw this notification and went back to sleep.

Woke up 2 hours later thinking I was dreaming and saw that it was real.
Also when was the last time Null has streamed on a Sunday? (Not including Bad at video games streams)

User @thebigdream has created a Nick Rekieta quote generator that takes his actual tweets and replaces some of the words with other words he said.

Might be fun to make a couple on stream

Excluding BAVG and gumroad and other specials:
The KingCobraJFS person stream on October 31st, 2021.
Because Obligatory Halloween person stream no matter the day of the week.

I avoided Sundays as a stream day when deciding because at the time the podcast started, Jim was actively streaming on Sundays. There was a time where we had a bunch of people in 'da sektur' streaming on different days, which is why I picked Wednesday mornings originaly.

I have high hopes for this one! The spice has been particularly nice this week

At some point, the heat signals clear, the device starts showing it's warming for the first time I've ever seen, my speeds are business tier again and there are 0 obstructions.

I don't know what the fuck happened but it's like some second tier CSR reviewed my case at random and was like "oh Shaniquah, the temperature re-calibration button is right here"

You transferred the Starlink demon upon the not-so-charming negress. God have mercy on her soul.

Very cool!!

Another year of anti-semite awards and Null got snubbed again! SAD!
Among this year's list of literally whos were Internet notables Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, and Candace Owens. They even included a words words words about why everyone is literally Hitler (they were mean to the state of Israel) Better luck next year, Jersh.

It's related to the prior blogpost from Izzy Muerte where Andrew Tomazos was trying to pass off ChatGPT spaghetti code to the C++ Foundation, "she's" (I honestly don't know) the one who insinuates anit-semitism and apparently inter-org drama from this drove him out as an excuse. https://izzys.casa/2024/11/on-safe-cxx/ - exact quote below:

Some people think that formal reasoning has already been solved! In the WG21 ISO C++ October 2024 mailing, Andrew Tomazos submitted P3403, a paper titled “The Undefined Behavior Question” (which HOOBOY man we’re just knocking it out of the fucking park with possible anti-semitic dog whistles today aren’t we?), and then when you open this goddamned PDF you realize it’s a fucking cleaned up transcript of a ChatGPT conversation. Because Andrew thinks that ChatGPT has already surpassed human cognition. And he has implied as such on the internal reflector, responding to statements that any ChatGPT submitted work would not be given time he said:

I really don’t think your suggested policy is functional. At the moment it’s on par with humans, so you might be able to get away with your prejudice for now - but what happens when its work becomes clearly and undeniably superhuman - which seems like something we’ll have to face in about a year at the current rate. Are you really going to try and continue to insist on what will be clearly inferior human design work? I think that would be objectively harmful and an obvious opportunity cost.
Thankfully, not everyone is to quick to believe that ChatGPT as of August 2024 has achieved sentience and is on par with humans (the people who do? Hoagies for brains). Jonathan Wakely of RedHat summed it up in a most eloquent way, stating effectively that if Andrew can’t bother to write his own fucking papers, maybe the committee shouldn’t be bothered to read them (do note that Wakely did not use the fuck word. He’s far too nice to stir up trouble).

Andrew is certainly interesting. He is quite honestly one of, if not the most vocal voice on adding any safety features to C++. In November of 2022, he stated:

And as for Rust: I haven’t written anything production in Rust, almost noone has - but the feedback I’ve heard so far from people that have actually tried is that working with the borrow checker is a complete nightmare and totally restrictive. I’m sure if I put a straightjacketsic on I couldn’t hurt anyone but I also sure as hell couldn’t play tennis anymore.
Andrew, if you wouldn’t mind a moment just between us while everyone else, eavesdrops:

1. There’s plenty of Rust in production you fucking swine of a man. Every Windows machine is running Rust. And was running Rust in 2022. Every Nest thermostat from Google is running Rust via Fuchsia. You know nothing.
2. The borrow checker is only a problem if you don’t understand RAII, or don’t even know how to avoid dangling references. If you find it restrictive because it’s preventing you from writing race conditions or having dangling references, that’s a fucking skill issue. Remember, I mentioned earlier in this post I’m still recovering from brain damage, and I also mentioned I don’t have a college degree. How the fuck am I able to blaze through the borrow checker without any issues, yet the people you’ve spoken with fucking can’t.
3. Maybe we should put you in a straitjacket since you seem to be a regular Houdini and are magically pulling things out of your ass.

To end this brief discussion regarding Tomazos, I will post the obligatory link to “I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again”.

@Null
Do you still plan on doing that in-depth Moongirl cartoon review or is it already on the Gumroad?

Yes, 100%. I'm going to try and crunch a few different fun fuckaround videos for Gumroad to push out over December this week, in he time before the LiS streams roll out. It'll be a lot of work but hopefully it just makes the break better for everyone.

@Null dumping tech stuff for the stream, specifically C++ committee drama.
Former C++ committee member writes schizopost about her problems with the committee, names names [bjarne & herb called out]

Hey that commitee member, Isabella Muerte, is a tranny right? Was he the one who was turbodissed by Bjarne Stroustrup at some event? I think I saw something about Stroustrup being disgusted by some troon

 

[lIllllIiiiiLLLLiiiiIIIIll]

Null are you gonna be an honorary Uncle to Chris Chan's child? Godfather maybe?

https://izzys.casa/2021/12/wrapping-up-2021/ - IT IS!!! LMAO

This is also the first year I didn’t attend CppCon since 2015. I will most likely never attend again. I should have taken it as a sign of things to come when, in 2015, Jon Kalb tried (emphasis on tried) to introduce me to Bjarne. Bjarne looked me up and down, put on a face of disgust, and walked away.

I’m currently at the point where I feel I’ve wasted my 20s on a language I never had any hope of truly improving, in a space I was never really welcome save for a few people I befriended, run by people who don’t really want to listen to me. So, I’m done. I’m out. I’ll still write C++, of course, especially if someone pays me but it’s going to have to be an incredible amount of money to make me do it, and I am going to bitch, and moan, and curse the tools all along the way.

I killed the C++ package manager I spent 7 years working on, and while I intend to release IXM properly at one point I am doing so solely to dunk and clown on people who told me something like IXM could never exist. I am no longer writing it for me and for other people. I am writing it out of spite.
