What happens when you twist your lens' focus ring while shooting long exposures of fireworks

I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.

My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.

Faial checks for absence of #dataraces in #CUDA kernels. New since our #CAV21 version is:
- a new frontend all written in OCaml (no more Python+Rust) we also have a new UI (sshot below)
- a new backend (invoke #Z3 as a library, as a process)
- support for partial inputs (eg, missing includes)

My intent to have a bit of a codebase written in Python was to attract students. Turns out interested students are excited to learn #OCaml.

One of the journalists Twitter banned found out that you can still join Twitter Spaces from a banned account. So, a bunch of the banned journalists were hosting a Twitter Space discussing Elon's actions. Eventually, Elon himself joined the Space, then after getting grilled for a few minutes, unplugged the entire Twitter Spaces infrastructure because he couldn't figure out how to ban them ☠️​

Yesterday: Mastodon has most of the individuals I care about, but Twitter has all the journalists

Today: Where did all the journalists go

How it started, how it's going, etc. etc.

Transcript:

Flynn (labelled as "Implementation detail"): [takes a look at the satchel of Private API when suddenly...]
Rapunzel: [knocks Flynn out with the frying pan of Terrible hack]

--

Rapunzel: [drags Flynn (Implementation Detail) to the cabinet of Public API]

[tries to push Flynn into the cabinet: fails]

[tries to swing Flynn into the cabinet with her hair of Dependency Injection: the hair gets stuck]

[thinks]

[shoves Flynn into the cabinet and closes it: Rapunzel turns around; the cabinet suddenly opens and Flynn falls on top of her]

[squashes Flynn into the cabinet with the broomstick of `sed -e`, slams the door with "GitHub Actions: FAIL". Flynn's four fingers stick out of door; Rapunzel pushes each in. A letter of "FAIL" disappears with each finger]

[wedges the door closed with the chair of `// FIXME`]

Rapunzel: Okay, okay, okay. I exposed the function to the API.
I'm "adding too much tech debt", huh, pull request reviewer?
Tell that to my terrible hACK! (accidentally whacks herself with the frying pan)

Refugees in Libya (@refugeesinlibya), who've been abandoned by the gaslighting organization that is the UNHCR, and the EU's funding of criminals to deter refugees by any means necessary, have a 2 day campaign. The only reason I've followed their unbelievable plight is because of their voice on Twitter. They've created an account on Mastodon so I suggest everyone follows them here so that we can amplify their voices once they catch their breath & setup a presence here.
