How does one get a job like this? Just writing absolutely wild and weird projects?

I do weird/fun stuff on my own time but I get paid to do mostly boring stuff.

Based on the project github page, it seems that this is their version of weird/fun stuff, that is not done as a part of their job.

Work for any huge corporation that has to pay huge salaries for people to work on soul-less projects for a couple of years, then retire and hack away. In the case of Justine, it seems the corporation was Google.

Just have enough money that you don't have to sell your soul to the devil for a job in webshit consultancy, where they're STILL busy reinventing the CRUD wheel for some reason. Probably because hell means an eternity of torture, and consultancy is hell.

So either be born rich, or slave away until you no longer have to worry about not eating. Then you can work on all your pet projects and feel fulfilled about your job and life. If you're not dead yet from all the accumulated stress, that is.

blinkenlights is amazing! The entire time I was learning programming I thought to myself "hmm I wish I could see what the memory and registers actually look like at any given step" and bam, blinkenlights. Its an amazing piece of work.

When i googled, it was very difficult to find anything in its original context, just some quotes, that certainly sound nutty on their face but also are very short to the point it is unclear if she was quoted fairly.

I don't think this is a good article, but it does have the quotes in it. https://web.archive.org/web/20231102081020/https://valleywag...

re "pro-slavery" specifically that seems very clearly intended as a hypothetical argument in response to someone else; e.g. you can imagine an argument about whether you ought to raise the minimum wage where one person points out that someone on minimum wage can't even afford to pay rent and purchase food, or something.

The rest of it sounds extremely sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek. It's also (all of it) more than ten years ago. I think it's a bad idea to judge someone on the basis of a handful of out of context tweets like this.

Stuff like

> Justine Tunney is petitioning the White House to make Eric Schmidt the "CEO of America."

seems clearly like a pointed act of satire by someone who thinks corporations have too much power.

A lot of people sit on the blurry line between genius and insanity, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It is a bad thing when the person is a fascist.

See, the problem with this argument is that it has an obvious left-wing bias. If you had made your argument based on principles like "which ideology killed more people" then you would have mentioned communism, but when you mention an ideology that is by comparison quite benign, it comes across as preachy.

Run anywhere?

Nice try, I'm on nVidia Jetson and everything depends on a fixed version of libc, so if I want to use nVidia's gpu libraries, I better use their version of libc.

What's "Universal" about UTC anyways? Just works on Earth :rolleyes:

I wonder if cosmo libc supports targeting versions.

Cosmopolitan Libc software works fine on Jetson and is able to use GPU. See llamafile as an example.
