Ah. An EEE move by Sony? Embrace (Steam), Extend (add PSN requirement), Extinguish (bye Steam).

Coming from No Man’s Sky with its six(?) ground vehicles, Starfield was a painful slog… Not to mention all the forced animations and loading screens.

I am intrigued by the lore. Do you have a tome I could peruse?

I don’t even have to open the image to know it’s FCKGW!

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

Dirk Gently S1 is still the most glorious thing I’ve seen on TV.
Triple murder. In the living room. With a… shark?

To be fair, I’m all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don’t need visuals. It is what it is, and I’m not in a position to judge.

But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.

For the older people like myself that don’t understand why everything needs to be a 5-minute video, here’s a 15-second read:

Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning) is a type of learning that happens subconsciously.

Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was the first to show the way in which it works. He did this in an experiment using dogs. Pavlov noticed that the dogs naturally salivated when they saw food. He paired this unconditioned stimulus (showing food to the dogs) with another, neutral stimulus: the ringing of a bell. Pavlov discovered that, if the two stimuli are presented together again and again, the organism learns that they belong together.

What a bunch of psychopaths.

No sane person uses m.d.yy date formatting.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

I really don’t know the Scottish English

If you think American v. British are at 80-90%, Scottish is around 30% and that’s being generous 🙂

Omg how have I not heard about this. I’m blaming you for my lack of social life in the next couple weeks. Not that I have one to begin with.

But then people will see how many bugs your code actually has, and how you actually can’t be bothered fixing any of them!

I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!
