I work with a Go monorepo and set up Bazel for a couple of services that used CGo. It took a while but was painless to set up.

> The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say: "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

Fixed name

The title reminded me of this too, but it was Bill Hicks, not Richard Hicks.

> The world is like a ride in an amusement park

only difference is, in real world there may be consequences that you may not be able to undo so you may have to be little careful while riding.

I've seen some pretty janky rides at state and county fairs.

Well, and some people are able to buy nicer seats on the ride with plush seats and air conditioning, and some people have to sit on hard backed plastic that hurts, and some people around you don’t get a seat at all and fall off and die routinely, and the ride keeps moving.

Yea. "Life is an amusement park ride" is a pretty privileged take. If life is like an amusement park ride, there are about 500-1000 people in the world actually riding it, and the remaining 8 billion or so of us are operators, maintenance staff, concession stand workers, and groundskeepers keeping it fun for those 500-1000 riders.

I believe the sentiment is that it’s a ride because it consists of synthetic stimulus, not because it is enjoyable.

Do you really need to be a billionaire to feel like life is like an amusement park?

So basically, Buddhism?

Or Camus.

Return to Monkey Island.

Awesome, this is very close to what I originally considered.

Hey tried a couple and got "iBackgroundColor undeclared identifier" on ghostty 1.2.3

Mild Spoilers.

I will always have a special place for Babylon 5. One time I was watching it with my father who lived under a dictatorship, watched a scene with Mr Morden and Lando, immediately said "this kind of talk is meant to put people against other people". He didn't care much for the extraterrestrial part of the show but was very interested in portrayal of authoritarianism.

Someone should make a areweidiocracy with links to these

And Venetian Snares encoded his cat https://eeggs.com/items/46956.html

Into the final track of an album titled "Songs About My Cats", titled "Look". :3

There's a better visualization of the track here:

Thanks for the reminder of eeggs.com! It still has an Easter egg I found in my printer that I submitted 25 years ago. I wonder how many models of obsolete hardware that site documents...

And Benn encoded a bird into birdsong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQCP-5g5bo

And Disasterpeace encoded a puzzle in the Fez soundtrack: https://blog.krzyhau.pl/fez-spectrograms-adventure (and nobody has solved it in over a decade!)

Also, C418 put a creeper face in Minecraft's soundtrack.

It shouldn't be surprising to see people who know Venetian Snares on here!

If you're up for it, trade a music rec?

Try:

I found Venetian Snares last year and one of their songs made my year-in-review: https://wonger.dev/posts/2025#music

Certain Indian music and metal seems to scratch a similar itch for me. And of course orchestra and drum n bass.

huh that's some pretty decent gothy noises

it's worth noting that the parent commenter's link includes a good render of this easter egg in the article as well (it's the last one on the page)
