Starship Flight 13 Scrubbed

What is really fascinating is that SpaceX tried and failed to launch their Starship rocket today. The attempt was scrubbed after four engines failed to light, and there is almost no news coverage of the event. It's very weird.

Rust 1.97.1 has been released.

This release fixes a miscompilation in an LLVM optimization. This newly discovered issue has existed since 1.87.0, but was unlikely to lead to an actual miscompilation until a change in 1.97.0.

See the blog post for details: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/16/Rust-1.97.1/

Cursor will run anything called git.exe when you open it, but it isn't the only one. As a fork of VS Code, Cursor has inherited this behavior from its questionable parentage.

UPDATE: That's if you have Copilot Chat AI features enabled

Internet Ethics Corner with Abadidea:

There is an important difference between lists of things you think are good and lists of things you think are bad. There is a PROFOUND difference when the list is of people or groups of people by name.

Putting specific real people on ideological sinner lists gets them and their families unemployed, homeless, assaulted and killed. This is not a joke. This is not an exaggeration. That is the function and purpose of a list of people you have decided are Bad.

You think you’re doing the right thing. But the right thing is to uplift what you think is good and admirable, not to paint a target on the backs of every random stranger who falls even an inch short of your personal definition of perfection. Those people aren’t you, they did not sign up for your ideological newsletter, and you are not their judge, jury and executioner.

The Nuremberg Trials are an appropriate use case for a list of bad people. Your ongoing social media argument is not.

@joxean Only what I can deduce from use: instead of pushing the last command to the history stack (independently from whether a command was historic or new) Windows seems to maintain a pointer inside a list, and moves it to the retrieved command. This way when you use the up arrow after a retrieval you start from that historic position instead of the latest command.

100% true.

@ludicity "A lot of people are functionally illiterate" -> Yes. At any large enough corp you *quickly* run into people with responsibility who can't understand e-mails with more than 3 sentences and this is terrifying.

New blog post!

The title should be self-explanatory, it's an appreciation post for Nightmare Eclipse.

You might notice that the tone is a bit more emotional/angry than my usual style of writing.
This one's personal.
