Could you please restore support for ROSETTA_AOT_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL?

Yours,

An “AOT header specified too many segments” sufferer

Imported 48 blog posts from 2010–2012 by trawling archive.org. How did 2010 Wordpress have better syntax highlighting than any blog I’ve seen today? Must remedy.

I saw so many different designs I’ve used over the years, but this one has to be my favourite:

I go through about three of these a week. Right now I’m telling myself that I’ve done everything I possibly can to get it recognised/understood/diagnosed, and that so far all anyone can say is “idk, fibro maybe?” means there is nothing more to be gained by worrying about it or trying to understand it, no more to be gained by reacting to today’s new form of it, or tomorrow’s, and that the only meaning I really can make of this is that I am to be someone who deals with this, to demonstrate what it means to live in acceptance and all that.

(daily meditation this year has been pretty life-saving, incidentally.)

And then if something does go wrong, well, that sucks, but doesn’t make this choice any less correct with the information I have now.

punkx.org:

I love coding so much. I don’t mean software, I mean just writing code and talking to the machine. […] Now most code I write is just tokens. Tens of thousands of tokens per day, empty. I skim through them to decide if they will work or not, accept or reject them. Again, and again… I have no empathy or emotion towards them, I feel nothing, I have become the computer that evaluates them. From machinist to machine. I can feel it. I can feel how it is taking me away from the path of understanding. Every day, little by little. You must have noticed it too.

Indeed, I have.

Of all bugs to have, I’m currently nursing a timezone-related error in my blog engine, and so everything’s appearing 10 hours ahead of time. Or maybe I just really am ahead of my time?

edit: add “(UTC)” to the field so i remember. fixed.

I haven’t done one of these kinds of things since I had a LiveJournal. Here goes.

Have you ever proposed a blog quiz, or sneezed while riding a unicycle?

Not to my knowledge.

Sweet or savory?

Generally sweet.

What are three legacy consumer tech devices you’d love to see brought back into the mainstream?

Ehhhh, I don’t know. I am not much one for nostalgia, or forming memories that last more than a few years. I’m racking my brain but I just don’t. If LLM nonsense continues to infiltrate then I’ll have plenty to say?

Do you have a lucky number, colour, or day of the week?

11, all of them, none of them.

What’s something you genuinely tried giving a go, but never grokked?

About 15 years ago I made my entire personality “if I try something and I don’t like it, I will try harder” when my job entailed interop with SharePoint. So far so good, I think.

Do you have a favourite virtualisation tech?

I’m playing a lot with VZ right now (literally right now) and it’s pretty nice. More broadly, though, I have to hand it to QEMU. It is so complete. It is so complete. User-space emulation is particularly magic. It’s also the only one I have commits in (afaik).

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever planted?

Seeds of doubt.

What’s your favourite instrumental song? Or if you don’t have one, what’s your least favourite instrumental song? If you don’t have one, what’s your favourite instrumental song?

I couldn’t possibly name one. Also, what counts as instrumental? Here are two I’m especially fond of.

• fingerspit — The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood Original Soundtrack — X - The Sister
• Lena Raine — Harmony: The Fall of Reverie (Original Game Soundtrack) — The Augural

Have you lied in any of these questions?

The lioness does not concern herself with justifications.
