  It seems that every major programming language has a "hundred-liner gap". What does that mean? - If you need a <5 line piece of code, it's either built in to a native library or easy enough to copy from StackOverflow. - If you need a 4000 line library to manage web requests or encryption, there's a package for that. - If you need 100 lines of code that handle the edge cases and safety checks for the 5 line code, you are SOL.

  I tried on several websites, but could not find a changelog for #Ubuntu 26.04.0 to the X.1 release. It's supposed to "just" aggregate all the patches since launch, but I'm interested. They don't push the next Ubuntu to people who have the prior version until X.1.

  #Linux distros for normal people, 2026 edition. i want a chromebook, but linux. I dont want to look under the hood ever. nixbook I want it to work and not think too much about it. i use a couple of popular/basic apps like chrome, a word processor, maybe steam. ubuntu or mint cinnamon.

  #Drag is a wholesome family activity. Women (presumably cis) in revealing outfits performed in front of family crowds in the good old days circa 1940-1966 at the Tennessee State Fair.

  TIL Sandisk is again independent after being spun off from Western Digital. Seagate, Sandisk, and WD are now sorta kinda equal in market cap - differing only by 10s of billions of dollars. Here's the boom-within-a-boom of the storage market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandisk

  hey, me and the buddies were wondering if you wanted to wear these translucent goggles. all they do is filter light. there's no screen. if there was a screen blocking our entire vision it couldn't hypnotize us. and even if it could, none of us would be turned on. you in?

  Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is weirdly hard to manage and browse on Linux. It's only a few commands to find and mount each partition, but Proxmox automatically creates like 5 right off the bat, plus one per VM (?). Most disk tools, even Linux ones, won't let you peek inside. It's just a big blob of LVM.

  Are you sitting down? This is a big one. They made a gritty reboot of... are you ready? *The Wizard of Oz*. There's more lurking under the surface than the 1939 movie would have you believe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_City_(TV_series)#Critical_reception

  The best parts of Xanadu (1980) are some of the best sequences ever filmed.

  Before Rejewski started work on the Enigma, the French had a spy, Hans-Thilo Schmidt, who worked at Germany's Cipher Office in Berlin and had access to some Enigma documents. Even with the help of those documents, the French did not make progress on breaking the Enigma.

  If "An Extremely Goofy Movie" (2000) were made today, Goofy would be obsessed with 50 Cent and Grand Theft Auto 3. He would meet a woman who "collects 2000s memorabilia" and bond over a prop from American Idol. He would dress like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdfXfkuhPqo
