Those Babylonian phones were wild. Too bad they'd only run 2 hours on a blood sacrifice though.

I just found this page [1] lol

It was a bit difficult to read, but pretty great overall

Precisely what an AI would say! The jig is up "AlotOfReading"

even here in southern CA (Anza) we had snow in March. though this article is telling us what next winter is going to be like I think...

Worse yet, the full name appears to be: Turbo Rascal Syntax error, “;” expected but “BEGIN”

I had a good laugh at least =)

SIMD being an exception still (unless maybe Intel compiler + C/C++ + proper annotations)

just last night i was thinking how cool it would be for an IDE plugin that expands rust macros for easier grokking. now i need one for your #defines, lol

maybe old people are just really into ducks?

"Equipped with Sony's latest technological gem, the IMX455 full-frame monochrome sensor, Hyperia is not only state-of-the-art but is set to remain so forever.

Our evolutionary system means you can replace the existing sensor with the latest technology on the market. You can always remain one step ahead and benefit from the very best."

Google Workspace...the one that they let us beta test for free starting like a decade ago? they rolled out a free opt-in after announcing the move to discontinue the free service. here's a cropped screenshot i just took of my control panel:

yuzu is another good Switch emulator. here's a link to their latest progress report, they're a pretty good read:

I felt the same way when I got my Nokia N900 back in the day

yes, and typically at the very least a protection circuit that needs to be implemented or faked, or whatever.

i replaced a swollen battery on a cheapo hotspot with an 18650, but i had to remove the protection chip from the old battery and wire that up with my battery holder. if i was more industrious/desperate i probably could have used the one in the 18650, but that was more fiddling than i wanted

it's trivial. use this tool:

do note, the patched out safety checks will definitely allow you to shoot yourself in the foot if you flash the wrong images

12 years ago my wife had 4 strokes, barely lived, was in a coma, etc.

After lots of rehab she came home, but was paralyzed on left side, couldn't speak, couldn't hold a pen to write. Our communication technique was having her point to letters or phrases on a piece of paper.

I wrote a typing program back then that would accept as input any USB joystick for selecting letters/phrases and then text to speech on button press. Not terribly complicated, but also better than anything I could find at the time.

Wholesale price for San Pellegrino large bottles was around a dollar each a couple years ago when I was ordering them in SoCal

A thin spread of mayo crisps up in the pan nicely too

You should always use memory fences on Intel when using atomics imo

My addon collection for Firefox nightly consists of ublock origin, cookie quick manager, and bypass paywalls clean. Here's the custom collection info for anybody who wants to use it:

I love Inigo's work! I've been learning about shaders, and being able to edit and reload his code on shadertoy has been really cool

If I have to resort to dev mode to remove things I don't need, then to me it's bloat. Those things aren't there in vanilla Android.

I'm still using Samsung hardware and I like it, but it's got a little bloat goin on

There's a separate Samsung version of every core Google Android app, a separate Samsung account system to sync everything, and a Samsung launcher. Mind you, I personally use none of it (except launcher), but that's basically the definition of Android bloat.

I created a little news site (https://magnetoid.com) specifically to try to get stories from every country in the world. Most countries are directly represented, though there are a few exceptions like Andorra (maybe 20 total?), where there's not a terribly great English news source for me to pull from. Countries not directly represented are still covered by regional sites that I scrape.

It's made with Python, SQLite, OpenResty, and Redis. no ads, tracking, or javascript

I've been learning Rust lately. Working on a little game. First few thousand lines of code in I was having some doubt. After being a little frustrated with borrows and lifetimes and with my strong tendency to prematurely optimize all the things I was soooo tempted to just switch to C and have full unfettered access to my sweet sweet pointers.

I'm glad I haven't switched though. Performance (which I'm measuring a ton of) is great. The situations where I wanted to bow out and take the 'easier' path were mostly bad design choices on my part and I think partly just laziness.

Rust forces me to think a little bit more, and I've really enjoyed learning about how/why the various language features were designed. Now I'm one of those damned Rust evangelists that have been annoying me for years =)

Yes. However, I think parent process can gain access to child process memory without admin rights.

I have an NX1 with grip and some nice lenses. I've been meaning to hack on it a bit, but still haven't gotten around to it

i think i found a decent 30b alpaca model if anyone else is just now diving in:
