It’s also out of date, he leads Korg Berlin now

He also had a 88 for a long time in his twitch channel name


I would be very surprised if this connotation was intentional of him. His name was "Naysayer88" for a long time, and I had wondered as well where that 88 came from -- maybe it was a rhyme on "Naysayer", which (ignoring the number) is an apt description of his ways and approaches. At some point he changed the name. I assumed the reason was he had gotten aware of the connotation.


I agree that the number choice was probably unintentional but you'd have to really strain to make 'naysayer' and '88' rhyme so thats probably not it.


Why give him the benefit of the doubt? He also fervently defends giving sieg heils in public


Blow is an odd duck and clearly following a political descent into fascism after his SV tech bro heroes. Just that his political descent occurred after he started Twitch streaming and as much as he boot licks Musk so I can see him defending that (if that’s what you’re referring to) I don’t think it’s credible that he would support Hitler.


I'm thinking he changed the name when too many people had gotten aware of the connotation.

You have to twist logic pretty fucking hard to find a reason for him to put 88 in his username. He's a guy who thinks he's way more clever than he is and gets upset when it gets pointed out to him.


88 means a lot of other things, so I wouldn't think right away that he chose that suffix because of 1488 specifically.

But we live in a world where the least charitable interpretation of anything comes first, so shrug


I think there’s way less people willing to work with him in 2025 than when the witness was in development


Why?


Leans center-right. Candid. Publicly supported Trump. Other stuff that just makes him a normal person circa 90s but really turns some people off in 2025.


Have you ever seen a bullet hell shooter?

I keep wondering if the yields have gone all bad with the newer processes


Another reason is that the UK forbids the child to have different names on their japanese passport and their UK passport, which is often (almost always?) the case


yeah unsigned are really about opting to perform modular arithmetic, or for mapping hardware registers.

C is weakly typed, the basic types are really not to maintain invariants or detect their violation


If you need saturating arithmetic, C23 adds that as well with a new header: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/header/stdckdint


I worked in the same period for a finnish startup (iobox.fi) that ended up being acquired by telefonica.

Our mobile and web portal was made of j2ee services producing XML which were then transformed by XSLT into HTML or WAP

At the time it blew me away that they expected web designers to work in an esoteric language like that

But it was also nicely separated


gyp to gn

gyp could produce ninja files. gn is short for generate ninja. Now gn produces files compatible with siso


Please add punctuation. I had to read it twice to understand.


Producing ninja files was an intermediate phase in the transition to gn. For most of its lifetime it was producing makefile.
