what can be simplier than C++ std:move? the deeper i think, the more i think we should restart the c++. lvalue/rvalue is obviously a part of type system. its hard to tell what is the right approach. its meta-types? r/l-values diff SHOULD NOT EXIST outside of types, its a hack

@nstrument29297 @Arikalabs no, my problem is there's a typing problem that is getting hidden. compiler obv knows about l/rvalues, the thing is that the programmer needs to know that too - but its not inside the walls of existing type system.

@nstrument29297 @Arikalabs oh && is basically a "rvalue", for both in- and out-. what you expect from a function that takes rvalue and returns rvalue. oh its hostile. is rvalue/lvalue really a part of meta-type system. these are diff types. can you expect users to learn 2 type systems, one implicit?

have anyone tried to make coding agentic understand "push task" and "pop task" ? e.g. create nested sub-context and later-del this sub-context. "pushd/popd, drop context" - whatever I seem to have nested tasks, i want to isolate some part of discussion to be forgotten later

i really like to `yield` from python loops(e.g. use generators). makes the language at least a bit haskell-ish, endless streams, early termination, cheap chunking, not needing to assemble the full output array.

A Daily Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Elon Musk would've paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would be expanded by $2,400 and 91% of Americans would pay $0 more in taxes. Scrap the damn cap.

Social Security needs reform, but neither party is willing to take the lead on doing so. If we continue doing nothing, Social Security payouts will be cut automatically by 24% in 2032… That’s only two presidential elections away. 👉🏻 crfb.org/nostatespared

ryzen 5500 was released in mid-2022. mid-2026 and i got a x470d4u motherboard with BIOS so old it does not know 5500, and the worst part - debug codes were useless.

Today I disabled IPv6 on my home router entirely. There are (sadly) too many devices and services with obscure bugs when it's enabled, and I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole sysadmin just to keep a full IPv6 stack. I'm not sure we'll ever see full IPv6 adoption.

truenas/synlogy insistence on storing user profile+ssh in a storage pool(not on boot disk) is faulty and an example of a wrong failure analysis. when you got a bootdisk problem, unavailable .ssh/authorized_keys is NOT a problem you are dealing. but dead pool=>no ssh IS a problem
