Has Bryan done any more recent recorded talks?

The only experience I have with working with Fortran would be setting up gfortran when building SciPy from source, and perusing its codebase to see how it's FFT functions were so optimized. Not enough to diligently mod I'm afraid.

I'm not sure why, but GitHub's search engine, Blackbird, seems to be returning some erroneous results for this query:

Any chance you could narrow down your search to a list of repose that use the library that pulls in tnt_select() function, then clone and manually grep just those, or is it's use too common to index by?

Real funny that even narrowing down GitHub search to just the same repo doesn't help the query results:

I'll note that when using multiple windows, I recall that switching the user in one window would switch the user for all other windows as well, so support for simultaneous user sessions would probably have to be added as well.

Fair enough. I just wanted to point out why you may see others, or news outlets, refer to tech giants, such as Microsoft, as FANGs or FAANGs given the historical context, regardless of how one may prefer to grammatically re-phrase such nonsensical statements. E.g:

So, who are the FAANGs?

You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

Should we be giving social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit the benefit of a doubt?

Some background context about the original video speaker and presentation:

Why YSK: If you're familiar with the topic of awesome lists on GitHub, then you should know that there is a community driven list just for Lemmy, including a convenient aggregation of links to instances, alternative front-ends, mobile apps, libraries, tools, guides, etc.

That looks neet. Although I suspect this would succumb to the same cross post discoverability issues where URLs pointing to the same video would not match string for string. A better approach might be to facilitate inline embedding of HTML video players into Lemmy using browser extensions, where user scripts could be used to preview youtube links or re-write them to nocookie, allowing the Lemmy web UI to still avoid the use of cross-origin scripts by default.

It is important to note that although this may be a result of Reddit's UI not displaying the content users posted to now-private subreddits, it remains a problem. Additionally, I agree with the author's comments in the video description, as it appears strategically unrealistic for Reddit to ask that users manually delete the content themselves.

This is particularly true when considering that many automated methods to accomplish this task will be hindered by Reddit's upcoming API pricing changes. Furthermore, Reddit has demonstrated a recurring pattern of rolling back databases using historical backups, thereby disregarding user deletion requests that were submitted prior to the database rollback.

For programming tutorials, yep, I also prefer reading documentation instead. Although, it looks like this tutorial these folks put out doesn't have much of anything you could copy from, like terminal commands, given its a recorded walkthrough in using the graphical web UI. YouTube also now allows for searching the auto or manual transcription text, which is handy when creators always forget to include timestamped chapters.

Indeed, video mediums can take longer to consume lesson material on mass, compared to written form tutorials and documentation, but some folks will always prefer learning from lecture style recordings. Still great for outreach and exposure for the Rust programming language itself though.
