"Where will the von Neumanns, the Einsteins, and the Gödels of our age migrate after the SCOTUS overrules democracy in 2024 and Gödel’s Loophole is proven to exist? (…) Maybe this is the chance of a lifetime for the European continent; if not for all, at least for some countries therein: Portugal, Scandinavia, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, for example."

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

Can the ai components (NPU) of new processors be used for non-ai work?
What I'm thinking is along the lines that the vector-processing components of GPUs have also been used to speed up non-graphic mathematics on large arrays.

🎉 PDF2flip intègre maintenant la fonction de zoom et de déplacement dans la page !
Je croyais que c'était réservé Š la version non-libre et complète de la librairie que j'utilise, mais en fait le Digiflip d'Emmanuel Zimmert @… m'a permis de comprendre que le zoom et le déplacement était intégré, mais simplement caché Š cause…… d'un bête truc CSS qui masquait les boutons de commande.
Bref, c'est fonctionnel maintenant !

On the same day I signed an initial IEP plan, I find out the US Dept of Education has cut half its staff.
Fuck POTUS47 and anyone that voted for him. And fuck any #ProgressivesForTrump that didn't have the maturity to vote for a better future. There's a million ways we will suffer for your single-minded refusal to see the future. You think people will "try harder&quo…

"Many professions can be recognized through dress codes. Doctors and nurses wear aprons. Police officers wear uniforms. Tennis players in Wimbledon must dress in white. Astronauts wear space suits. Dominatrices wear black latex catsuits. The Swiss Guard in the Vatican wears the same outfit since the 16th century. Soccer players have matching kits. Wolverine fights evil in yellow spandex. Software developers wear the t-shirts they got for free at the last conference."

"In this particular case, it is not uncommon for software developers to not only ignore, but even dismiss the required understanding of design language and primitives. At the same time, designers often lack the knowledge required to understand the various constraints imposed by software and hardware platforms."

"Maybe Dr. Weinberg took some inspiration from Melvin Conway, who in 1967 stated that “organizations design systems mirroring their own communication structures”. Now you start to understand why your microservice architecture is a mess, and no, neither Istio nor Prometheus is going to help you with that."

"My view of professional software engineering is one where I get to find out about people’s work and the problems they have, and try to solve them, and discussions are key to this project. If what I wanted to do were to have some uninterrupted time to discover how to shovel a Haskell into a BEAM on Kubernetes so I could scalable actor lambda, then yes, I could understand why understanding what the deliverables are would get in the way."
