What people seem to have trouble understanding about undefined behavior is that it's undefined. As in, not defined. Literally anything can happen, and there's no guarantee that the same thing will happen the next time.
You aren't supposed to rely on any behavior. No, it doesn't matter that this behavior makes sense. No, it doesn't matter that you can't imagine how anyone would actually implement it any other way. No, it doesn't matter that you think you've covered all the possible implementations. No, it doesn't matter that you've tested and verified all the historical implementations, and travelled into the future to test a few future implementations as well.
You just aren't supposed to rely on undefined behavior.

Getting back in the mood to work on #PicoGUS by listening to some tracker music bangers on it. Just discovered this one, Pheno by Bay Tremore and Muffler
can we just go back to the days where PCs were cute toys your dad had in order to feel like he was going places in the world, and where people would enthusiastically play the second reality demo by future crew in order to show people that the $2000 386SX is still good enough to be in the game
Are you a Guix user or contributor? If so, could you spare a few minutes to fill out this survey and share your feedback about Guix? It only took me a few minutes to complete and the information will help the project prioritize future work.
looking at you, modern web browsers...

"Krebbs was gone; but, before leaving, he had run up three-hundred-dollars worth of long-distance calls, set my couch on fire in five places, killed my cat and my avocado tree, and torn the door off my medicine cabinet."
Ugh, I know the type.
after a month of studying japanese everyday, i now know about 400 words and can understand probably 5% (probably less) of spoken conversations
way better than i expected!
Looks like Code Club has finally shed any connection it had to what we started and is well on its way to teaching kids that surveillance is fine, actually.
Good job, Raspberry Pi Foundation/Broadcom, Inc.
(I helped set it up, wrote one of the first lessons in Scratch for the curriculum, and was on the board but resigned, along with one of the co-founders, when the other co-founder courted Google. We’d already had disagreements as we didn’t want Prince Andrew as a patron…) 🤷♂️
I found a bad solder joint and after reflowing it (and every other one on the board while I was at it) and the Osborne CRT seems to be fixed! I love this cute ascii art “self portrait” in the help on the system floppy
In other news, I finally finished shooting the new video I promised some days ago. It’s going to take another day or two to edit and release. Sorry for the delay, I was a bit slower than I anticipated. I didn’t quite brush off the global news as well as I thought and had some sleepless nights and unproductive mood swings. Back on track now. ✊
