When things look gnarly they pull out root.


Here’s a more-recent article then: https://carnewschina.com/2026/01/22/catl-unveils-worlds-first-mass-production-sodium-ion-battery-for-commercial-vehicles/
Public buses in areas of China trialed these batteries and they didn’t live up to their claims which is they can be bought on Alibaba second hand. I don’t have the “energy” to find the articles in English as it’s out the scope of my original comment anyhow. It’s not just claims around CATL batteries, it’s an industry-wide problem.


No, CATL makes the same wild claims. Just within the last few months they’ve been overselling the capabilities of sodium batteries.
The whole industry is polluted with these fluff claims. Of course we want them to be true, but waiting for results to make noise is wiser.


It’s not a “China so it’s bad”. Moreso to do with the fact this Chinese-based industry constantly make wild claims about batteries with zero backups to their claims.
No surprise when people are quick to dismiss a habitual liar.


And careful with those unix systems. Every time someone compiles Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum shaves a raccoon’s ass.


Pretty well. I did have to create an “old-nixpkgs” variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case…


How’d your 25.11 channel migration go, fellow Nix-enjoyer?


Gary Bernhardt’s old talks are a classic. Wish there were more people still doing humorous introspection in the programming landscape like this.

“I read your book!” “I didn’t watch your videos.” Brutal.

I don’t see a problem. The broken escalator is still stairs.

Since we’re nitpicking the atom thing, also Solomon didn’t split anything. He said cut the baby in half to see the reaction of the women to find out who the true mother was.


If you liked that, you’ll like his “Wat” talk. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
There’s bound to be a hard drive out there with more knowledge of physics than all of us!


The feeling you get when searching your codebase for references to your “uid” variable but this cheeky boy keeps popping up.
Too busy staring at those special fingers.
I got a bit of this from working with pipes in Elixir (no surprise since it was Clojure-inspired) but I fall back to the simplicity of syntax lisp offers. I definitely recommend Janet for ease of tooling and built-in networking.
