His speed impressed everyone on the assembly line.

It was the third one this week. All he could think to say was “Well well well”.

I got a bit of this from working with pipes in Elixir (no surprise since it was Clojure-inspired) but I fall back to the simplicity of syntax lisp offers. I definitely recommend Janet for ease of tooling and built-in networking.

Reminds me of the time George Costanza finished composing his meta-circular evaluator before instantly transforming into the software installation wizard (relevant timestamp). Never again has the eval-apply dark arts of metaprogramming been conjured so deeply.

Nice callback. Kuddos on owning up to the inevitable downvotes.

You can never get off the corporate AI train.

When things look gnarly they pull out root.

Here’s a more-recent article then: https://carnewschina.com/2026/01/22/catl-unveils-worlds-first-mass-production-sodium-ion-battery-for-commercial-vehicles/

Public buses in areas of China trialed these batteries and they didn’t live up to their claims which is they can be bought on Alibaba second hand. I don’t have the “energy” to find the articles in English as it’s out the scope of my original comment anyhow. It’s not just claims around CATL batteries, it’s an industry-wide problem.

I’ve had underwhelming results with pihole. Consider Technitium DNS Server or AdGuard DNS: https://youtu.be/S5D6uksel10

No, CATL makes the same wild claims. Just within the last few months they’ve been overselling the capabilities of sodium batteries.

The whole industry is polluted with these fluff claims. Of course we want them to be true, but waiting for results to make noise is wiser.

It’s not a “China so it’s bad”. Moreso to do with the fact this Chinese-based industry constantly make wild claims about batteries with zero backups to their claims.

No surprise when people are quick to dismiss a habitual liar.

And careful with those unix systems. Every time someone compiles Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum shaves a raccoon’s ass.

Pretty well. I did have to create an “old-nixpkgs” variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case…

How’d your 25.11 channel migration go, fellow Nix-enjoyer?

Gary Bernhardt’s old talks are a classic. Wish there were more people still doing humorous introspection in the programming landscape like this.

“I read your book!” “I didn’t watch your videos.” Brutal.

I don’t see a problem. The broken escalator is still stairs.
