I don't know why it's purple. Something to do with Firefox and bsky.

Is it CAKE?!
I probably still have an audio tape of myself around 5 or 6 years old eating a biscuit and a piece of cheese. "*pause* yum biscuit! *pause* yuck cheese! *pause* yum biscuit! *pause* yuck cheese!" Repeat until one or the other ran out. Somehow nobody at all suspected that I might have been autistic.
I made a boss key for my game, it's a classic BSOD in 640x360
I've never seen a dog write "minimum" in cursive before, let alone with pee while walking on forepaws!
You can always watch it without giving the studio any money.
In the gap, the spoof British Police Drama, A Touch of Cloth, was superb in its deadpan delivery and blink-and-you'll-miss-it gags. Highly recommend giving it a watch or two (3 seasons of 3 episodes each)

Yeah, most people think LLMs either are better than they are, or think they're being sold something better than it actually is. It is incredibly frustrating for those of us who design & build. I'm taking a break from my career. It's like people are buying sheds thinking they're skyscrapers.
Honestly, I have never felt compelled to measure it.
Many movies based on computer games fail to capture the essence of the source material, but few as badly as 2024's The Outrun.
If you start the flute at about 20 seconds into the bottles they go quite well together
Manuals are for people who hate taking the scenic route.
It's time the overinflated twat learnt how insignificant he is. He's been mollycoddled by our press for far too long.
Do you eat baked potato? Do you eat fried potato? Sliced potato? Potato dauphinois? Mashed potato? Do you like all of those? Or is there one, including not listed, that you dislike? The hypothesis is that everyone has one that they dislike. The author invites others to express their own preference.
So my primary school would serve "mashed potatoes" that were grey, watery and had lumps in them. I'd gag if I felt a potato lump at the back of my throat. Put me off mashed potatoes for life, I just won't touch them prepared like that. IDC how different they are, or how much anyone else likes them.
YES AND WE'LL MAKE YOU A TRANSGENDERD TOO LAURA LOOMER
I'm British and I have complete heterochromia. Double-whammy.
Wait, her cousin's balls or her cousin's friend's balls? Also, what?
It could just be because Labour is somewhat rabid about not forming coalitions and would probably get weird if he publicly admitted involvement in this new venture. I presume he'd prefer not to be thrown overboard until the dinghy's at least inflated.
No idea, but bsky tints all my uploaded pictures purple, which is ... helpful?
Nope. Maybe a little less purple. Maybe.
Have my purple images been fixed?
Why are all the GIF results for "Contextual orange" just vapid, presumably rich, blondes? Screw it, here's the whole video, with an inexplicable purple tint on the thumbnail - thanks, bsky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4a...
bsky is still turning my images purple for some reason
There seems to be some debate about what the Antikythera Mechanism was used for. I reckon it was probably used for keeping Kytheras away. Clue's in the name.
Don't forget that Lexus is Toyota
Oh, apparently "2400 baud" does not mean "2400 bits per second". Weird. We always used to use "baud" and "bits per second" interchangeably.

V.22bis (2400baud) was created in 1984, so it would be 1200 before then
Ugh. Not that colour. bsky keeps turning my images purple. Here's the ebay link: www.ebay.com/itm/35590991...
Well, maybe not that one specifically since it's a 33.6K which wouldn't have been released until the mid-to-late 90s. But it looks like they were using the same case design for a long time. This one looks like it has a more similar colour.
I probably should have had a social worker since I left home, but the view was that I was just being awkward and lazy, rather than that there was anything actually wrong. It's too late now, my income is too high and there's no way for me to pay for it privately. So fuck "successful" auDHD people.
Evolve, grow, change, or be left behind. Same as it's ever been. Same with people.
I attended a tiny countryside primary school in the 80s, 30 kids across 7 years. My schoolfriends each had a C64, Apple ][e, Dragon and Spectrum. I got to see a few different BASICs, and I think I was lucky to see such an array of machines!
If you play a video at half speed (e.g. using the controls on YouTube or NetFlix or whatever else) people sound drunk
Until recently I had no idea any machines other than Dragons and Tandys had the black-on-green look, or even the same font.

He delays everything by saying he'll have an answer in two weeks. It's always two weeks away.
He's lost if anything requires more than "making a deal."
Hiiiiiiii
Guaranteed it will be a cheap Alibaba Android phone bought in bulk with "OEM logo", they'll promise it "will" be made in the US "eventually" but it never will. The way Don Jr. talked about its "capabilities", I don't think they even understand how apps work...
Wow, not had a stolen photo scammer follow in a while.
Yeah, if you want to subscribe to some somebodies it's great. Like YouTube. If you want to broadcast life events (or even just funny memes) to your friends, they'll never see it. Though fb has been getting a bit like that lately too.
I want to like bsky, but it seems like you can be "somebody" by posting a lot and get your posts seen, or be "nobody" (even to your friends) and follow a few "somebodies". It doesn't fit the need of groups of real-life friends, and so I can't recommend it to those still enduring Zuckville.
tbf I posted that back in March. I agree with your assessment.
Nothing makes me feel like I've accomplished something than being able to execute a consistent pattern. It's then that I get bored with it and move on to something else.
I'm malosmic (smell quite bad)

What the hell happened to the colours?!
Well, that's not quite the right shape 🤔
But it's midnight, what other time am I meant to be loud as fuck?
So here's the thing with how heterochromia is represented in modern media...
There is a theory that if electrons truly cannot be destroyed, and time ping-pongs from one end to the other, then all electrons we observe may actually be the same electron, bouncing back and forth through time. This could be our only iteration, or this could be one of billions.
One should always let sleeping dogs lie.
KEY BOARD
It has a section with mine carts, this made me think of it. Happy to do a co-op steam thing if you want to try it out
Have you played The Cave?
That level is very vendor-specific, could be product-line-specific, and it's not usually visible to user code. You might reveal it by causing race conditions (e.g. feeding the same image as input and output to a fragment shader)
The correct names for an instance are a thread or invocation, the correct names for a block is a workgroup or threadgroup, the correct names for a whole set of blocks is a dispatch or a grid. The in-between bit, where the workgroups get grouped, might be a wave, wavefront, warp, batch, pool...
OR maybe there are write operations, so it groups blocks that use different pages so that there's less contention. But it's all decided by the driver, and it's very fast. So it appears random to human eyes. The instances themselves run "in lockstep" instruction by instruction.
Not exactly. If using compute kernels/shaders one can choose the dimensions of the blocks that get scheduled. Then the driver chooses how to schedule them, which it might do heuristically. So it may detect that several "blocks" will have some similar array page access, and group them together.
Ich nichten lichten.
I have those from time to time, but not very often. For me it's like the pedal is soft and just won't engage the brakes, then the car goes careening into something and I wake up.
I put this font together sometime in the early-to-mid 90s (with this software), I found it in the wild recently and it looks like about 1/3rd of the nonstandard DOS fonts out there used it as a base (they have most of my <32 chars + some of my >128 chars)
Yeah I get that, it was just an observation. There's also a utilitarian aspect to it, this font "does the job" which was deemed more important than stylistic flair. In PC BIOS fonts we see some variation, but they're largely the same as one another.
Looks like a very standard "Motorola-chargen-style" font, found on everything from 80s micros to supermarket till customer displays. But if you're working in a 6x8 space, there's not much room for creativity if you want to maintain readability.
"Maybe it would help you budget if we charged more and made electricity inconvenient?" No, you idiots.
I think it was E.on that "suggested" to me that fitting a prepayment meter might "help me budget" when I unexpectedly found myself out of work (~2008 crash). I refused, it wasn't a budgeting problem. It was also a rented property. Bullet dodged. I feel for those who were forced.
Is it meant to be empty after 01:00?
At a former workplace we would play Stalker deathmatch once a week in the evening, that was fairly good. As a single player campaign I never got on with it, I thought it might look better through my now more-seasoned eyes. Nope!
I had some trouble getting the new Stalker to run, but a quick Google later I had it running and then I remembered how bad it is.
I honestly surprised myself, in that I never once thought "This would be easier on Windows" or "I should just run this on Windows." Not that I thought about it and decided not to, but that I effectively forgot Windows was even there for the most part.
I have physical hardware because I've got an nvidia GPU in my main machine, then two test boxes with Arc and Radeon GPUs. Intel drivers balk at some GLSL (e.g. `1.` vs `1.0`). Who knows what else. VM for Lytro Illum and anything else that needs Windows USB, e.g. monitor firmware.
Yeah, I set up dualboot on my PC, then never booted Windows again and never looked back - even if there were a few games that didn't work straight away. I have 2 Windows PCs for game testing, otherwise I don't touch them for any reason. I run Ubuntu for the support by commercial parties.
Sounds like a Jam sketch, could be hit or miss.
I passed that point in 2016. Some earlier, others later. Everyone has their own BS threshold.
There comes a point at which working with Linux becomes less effort than working against Windows.
IF YOU'RE MEANT TO SWALLOW THEM WHY DO THEY CALL THEM ANALGESICS?!?
Trump cannot reconcile the dichotomy of someone telling him what he wants to hear, and then taking a contrary action.
One day my ear was itching so badly that I was compelled to fish the only cotton bud in the house out of the bottom of a 1L bottle of isopropyl alcohol that I'd accidentally dropped it into months earlier.
Sometimes I have to explain the thread and why my sudden interjection is relevant. Only sometimes the conversation has moved on and I've just wandered off down a totally different path, and now nobody has any idea what I'm talking about.

The Abstract McCoy's
Looking through Radio Times to see if anything interesting was going to be on one of the four available TV channels, then having to work your life around that event - worse, finding a clash between two good options.
AFAIK we never got those in England, except maybe on niche satellite channels that got bundled into the lowest of base packages
It's the principle of the thing
The last 90 minutes were basically just - "You hang up!" - "No, you hang up!"
I created bindings to Box2D native libs instead of porting the code. Porting is hard, there's a Box2D.NET port which copies everything including Tracy integration but it has heap alloc issues. Here's my bindings repo: github.com/HughPH/Box2D...
