  • Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.








  • Printing debug messages didn’t do much for me for this one time where a class was overflowing a buffer right in the constructor, and everything was fine creating an instance of it, passing it around, etc., until I actually go to use one of its methods later on in the program and it crashes. It was C++ on an ESP32 and I had to decode the stack trace and everything to find it, took me hours because I had to learn what even to do with a stack trace. The Espressif forums kinda suck balls, they are a ghost town.






  • Before that day, he was just another rich guy to me, a bit quirky and eccentric, someone who had some good ideas for our space industry that needed a good kick in the ass and had the money to make it happen. Space Jesus.

    That day was the day the image of him shattered for me. Then came the Dogecoin shit. Now I’m hoping someone, the government, or someone else, anyone, takes SpaceX from him so he can’t get in the way of Starship development and fuck up another good thing. We are so close to 100% reusability, something the Space Shuttle was supposed to do for us.
