Subsentient

Location - Phoenix. Remote is acceptable. I could consider relocating for the right job. Technologies: C, C++, Rust, Python, Lua, C#, shell, heavy embedded Linux experience, wrote an init system in C when I was a teenager.

I can say that I'm a very good firmware engineer with a lot of experience tinkering with Linux and know most of the C language by heart. Currently doing contract work but looking for a more permanent position.

I have a lot of experience in audio/video, access control, extensive multithreading, and low-level networking (BSD sockets)

I am delighted to inform CrowdStrike that they have just done additional, extensive, damage to their brand, and will no doubt have just emboldened those who were tempted to sue them.

Your unethical behavior and abuse of the DMCA will be used to punish you. If you succeed in getting ClownStrike taken down, you will be hated even more.

Have fun annihilating your brand, reputation, and customer/industry trust and goodwill.

They will not fix this. Indeed, regulation is required, but meaningful change requires a functioning, coherent government with institutions that are not fully enclosed in regulatory capture.

The United States is falling apart, and it is no longer capable of solving its own problems. Now, inertia keeps legacy systems functioning, until fascism and/or balkanization a-la USSR takes over.

Write your own. Wrote one fairly recently in good-ole-sepples that uses UNIX domain sockets and pushes around half a gigabyte a second on weak ARM hardware. Domain sockets are great. Shared memory is even better. If you need a portable solution between processes, not threads, I recommend domain sockets and a simple binary protocol for high throughput.

>TypeScript for C++

Visceral disgust reaction.

Rust apparently wants to reverse its warning logic and instead of banning unsafe{} inside unsafe fn(), they want to require it and make it a hard error.

It's true, what intelligence I have (not particularly impressive) has already caused me enormous suffering.

Yet, there's this piece inside me that tells me that "the only way out, is through".

Sometimes, I think about what I really want. What I want most in the universe, for myself. There's plenty I want for everyone else. I seldom let myself think about what would be good for me lately.

Sometimes, like tonight, I do know what I want for myself. It's impossible, but it's my greatest desire for my life.

I want to be "uplifted". I want my brain capacity to be expanded by orders of magnitude. I want to understand, I want to comprehend, I want to see it all and fully understand the shape and implications of all things in my sight. I want to be more than a human mind. I want to be far, far wiser. It's not power I want. It's knowledge. It's understanding.

Watch all the funding dry up and the researcher get framed for some random, stupid crime, with just enough prison time to make sure he won't see the inside of a lab again before he's too senile to use it or dead. Could also be a slip in the tub etc.

There's a lot of money in suffering, and if you think there aren't people sick enough out there to do real horrible shit to protect that income stream, you're kidding yourself.

How do you think this fucked up civilization was twisted into the giant pulsating tumor it currently is?

Finally, a software fad that I actually want to support! About time I get one!

SQLite is more than good enough for an awful lot of things. Most of the time that I do see software using MariaDB etc, I think to myself "they didn't need a server model for this, SQLite would have been fine".
