Sometimes I turn my alarm off and just close my eyes for a minute.

I loved the way people were calling it the X Bone from halfway through the release announcement.

You and the rest of the internet, that's why they shut down that Discord server.

In my experience, badly.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.

I mean, they could, but the searches would be more expensive because you'll actually use them all, so you wouldn't save any money unless you're using search like five times a month.

That also leads to you using other search engines half the time because you don't want to waste one of your Kagi searches.

I don't understand why the fire fighters are upset, he clearly has his park-anywhere lights on.

Mmm. The source I found probably got megabytes and megabits mixed up. Cartridges often seemed to have their capacity listed in megabits for some reason.

IIRC the reason Luigi isn't in Mario 64 is that they couldn't afford the extra few kilobytes that would take.

It's not like they wanted parts of the game to be empty, cartridges were tiny. Mario 64 had a one megabyte cartridge. They had to cut things to the bone to manage to fit the game on that.

As the owner of a non-Tesla EV, it's pretty great. And not paying weekly tribute to some fuck in the Middle East is also nice.

 

"We did it, we time travelled!"

"But to what year?"

"Let me ask that guy over there."

"What's up with the president?"

"Republican idiot's starting a war over oil."

"I have no idea."

 
  1. The feedback window decided to annoy me by popping up by itself.

  2. I figured I might as well complain about the weather radar taking more clicks to access the information I want.

  3. The feedback window broke because the BOM site now relies on scripts from Google's reCAPTCHA service which my browser blocks by default. Yes, I know this is mostly on me, but it was just the icing on the cake.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
