ChatGPT is so useful for doing x86 assembly and low level osdev stuff. OSdev is general is very poorly documented unless you're willing to read absolute tomes worth of books. I wonder what it would look like if you assembled all the Intel reference books you'd need to program a modern x86 computer from scratch, including USB and Intel HD Audio and all that crap.

This guy did a breakdown and discovered it takes almost the same amount of water and feed for 1 kg of chicken as it does for 1kg of bugs:

There is literally no environmental benefit to edible bugs, because for them to be edible, they need to be given animal grade feed.

Farming bugs is useful to breakdown non-human grade waste, but it fails as a human food product.

Aaand it's minimally working, so: ffmpeg.app is now live!

Use FFmpeg recipes without fiddling with the command line!

Consider this an early beta. There's still a ton missing:

- Ability to tweak the command line (i.e. hand editing, or selectors)
- Proper mobile styles
- About, disclaimers, etc
- Many more command recipes
- Better accessibility
- "Bug fixes and performance improvements"

But, it's doing the thing!

We believe our account was shut down because we accept cryptocurrency donations including via Monero. PayPal partially locked our account and demanded proof for source and purpose of each transaction. We provided a link to grapheneos.org/donate. Our account was then force closed.

A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

I'm really starting to hate the term "normie" or the edgier variant, "normalfag". Why? Because literally everyone who is not on Facebook is using that term, including Reddit, Discord, some parts of YouTube or Twitter. It's meaningless.

I generally see it being referred to anyone outside of their views/hobbies, or who aren't part of whatever community they are in. That makes us all normies or normalfags from someone else's perspective. So you are basically saying that everyone who doesn't share the same niche hobby or world view as you, is "normal". Guess what, we all have niche interests.

Unless (almost) every aspect of your lifestyle is radically different that everyone else (that includes your job (or lack thereof), the food you eat, the media you consume, your political/social/economic views, etc), you are for the most part, "normal".

PHP will forever be the best server-side language because literally every shared host supports it and you can easily deploy a PHP server with the LAMP package.

And that's just for the Application cert. There are actually two different certs for Node.JS that the Linux Foundation offers. One of them goes over application development (Node.JS runtime, etc.) the other is about writing microservices and REST APIs in Node.JS.
