@opal "object capabilities". It doesn't really have much to do with "objects" in that it doesn't require object oriented programming, and originally they were just called "capabilities", but "capabilities" got overloaded as a term (eg, what the Linux kernel calls capabilities are nothing like object capabilities). ocap is shorthand, refers to a specific paradigm: your security model isn't who you are, but what references you hold onto.

@cwebber @liw this sounds a real lot like openbsd pledge(2)

"...dogs’ faces are structured for complex expression in a way that wolves’ aren’t, thanks to a special pair of muscles framing their eyes. these muscles are responsible for that “adopt me” look that dogs can pull by raising their inner eyebrows. it’s the first biological evidence scientists have found that domesticated dogs might have evolved a specialized ability used expressly to communicate better with humans."

I once cleaned the lens in a DVD-RW drive, and wanted to test if it ever works again without the cover (with just the magnet to hold the disk).
Right after connecting, while performing it's tests, it turned the laser on, and my hand was in front of it.
Feels like being punched with needle. Glad it wasn't my (or anyone else's) eye. Take care.

Taking my Pinebook apart to turn on serial and damn this thing is all battery. Pinebook has a switch to enable serial out on the audio jack.

FB using rust for their new blockchain makes me glad I GPL'd most of my rust crates, since (hopefully) it means that none of my code can be used to power that monstrosity

should I start learning elixir + phoenix, some rust web framework (actually I forgot almost everything about rust but nvm) or properly learn node.js? maybe something else? I only have real experience in frameworks like adonisjs

I am about to move to Warsaw before the end of August. I'm looking for a job, starting remotely for up to one month. I have some professional experience but not much. Eager to work on anything, systems programming, Android apps, web application backends... whatever. B2B preferred.
