accidental Cannibal Corpse cameo in the academic talk

A feeling of generalized urgency, as if something must be done which it never actually becomes possible to do (Cael M. Keegan)

Pregamed the panel about connections between the "dark souls" series and transgenderism by sitting in the as-of-yet empty auditorium and playing the super hard Japanese version of "Actraiser"

QGCon day 2! Watching Treaandra Russworm's keynote about decentering whiteness in academic notions of "queer".

I like Montreal

Montreal gave me a present

What I"m listening to today: "The Torrents of Destruction Overwhelmed Me", thoughtForm Max

Extended metal guitar solo, but with no guitar, done entirely on Roger Linn's isomorphic grid controller. Every pad on here has per-note expression via both pressure and how you wiggle your finger within the square, enabling techniques not usually possible on a keyboard synth. I imagine a lone figure playing this to a sunrise at the edge of some desert plateau in Big Bend in Texas

At an event that has not occurred in five years and at which facemasks are mandatory. Everyone effectively has temporary functional faceblindness. In addition to which a statistically significant percentage of the audience is regular faceblind

Adler makes a point: Any game excludes people. Every design decision excludes people. The impulse is "exclude no one" but this impulse is wrong, impossible. The question you *should* ask is: Is this game excluding *the same people who every game tends to exclude*? *That* would be wrong.

This point generalizes beyond games. This sort of choice (or attempt to deny the choice) comes up in designing any human thing.

"leaky in the sense of leaky bladders but also in the sense of leaky memory"

At Queerness in Games Con. Watching Avery Adler's keynote

I have been very seriously wondering about patching the Linux kernel so that instead of blinking the caps lock light at kernel panic time it instead blinks out the kernel panic message in Morse code

Creating websites is turning out to be frustrating and hard what if I learned to make Linux kernel modules

On the face of it it appears that Rocket not supporting diesel->sqlite is downstream of the sqlite support for rust fundamentally not supporting async *throws things*

Okay so

It appears Rocket foresaw the problem of, "our state management system stores only multithread-safe data but database connections like to be per-thread animals" and built an entire intricate connection-pool system for managing it

https://rocket.rs/guide/v0.5/state/#databases

Moreover, they have pre-built specific integrations with specific database engines, one of which is for Diesel, which I am using

https://api.rocket.rs/v0.5/rocket_db_pools/#supported-drivers

Problem: Their Diesel integration does not support sqlite!! Which I am using!!

I was lead to believe that SQLite could be safely and efficiently used by multiple threads within a single process. Was I wrong?

This isn't a very good post. Thanks for reading it anyway

Places where you might see "pub mod"

- Rust library code

- London in 1958

What is this. Do we actually have an expo for Aesthetics or is this about anesthesia or something

Sorry I forgot to close a parenthesis in a post earlier and it was bothering me
