Weird. The weather forecast says 13C (yes, Celsius) for Victoria, BC (yes, not the one in AU :D), but it really feels like... idk, 30C?!

Scapia, an Indian startup that combines travel booking with co-branded credit cards and mobile payments, said the deal doubles its valuation.

So OFC, GC had to do it in the voice. 😂

Analytical investigation of metal distribution from e-cigarette aerosols to lung deposition using multi-platform mass spectrometry - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
E-cigarettes are promoted as a safer alternative to conventional tobacco, yet emerging evidence indicates they may expose users to harmful metals. While prior research has focused on nicotine and organic constituents, the bioaccumulation and spatial distribution of toxic metals in lung tissue remain poorly understood. In this study, a multi-platform analytical approach combining ICP-MS, GC-ICP-MS, GC-MS, and LA-ICP-MS/MS was employed to characterise the elemental and organic composition of refi…

Was bitte soll "Krypto-Fan" für eine Qualifikation für einen Investment-Rat sein, liebe PostFinance?
Ein GC-Fan macht ja auch noch keinen Meistertitel.

Ugh this morning the Android support on my #SailfishOS phone entered a crash/restart loop, rendering all Android apps unusable 😩
Apparently the Android VM runs out of memory and there's no fix.
UPDATE: It seems I have found a solution/workaround¹ 🥳

Android App Support crashes after starting because VM runs out of heap
This morning my Xperia 10iii (SFOS 5.0.0.77) entered the Android restart loop as well. After several attempts, I managed to extract these logs: 05-05 08:08:43.223 310 338 W system_server: Throwing OutOfMemoryError "Failed to allocate a 104 byte allocation with 438952 free bytes and 428KB until OOM, target footprint 268435456, growth limit 268435456; giving up on allocation because <1% of heap free after GC."

In a viral X post that parodies the old Mac vs. PC commercials, General Catalyst posted a "VC vs GC" video, with the VC apparently modeled after Marc Andreessen (Julie Bort/TechCrunch)

General Catalyst posted VC rage bait and it worked, especially on a16z | TechCrunch
Compulsive X user Andreessen himself couldn't resist responding, many, many times.

Oida ... testing reconcile() functions with finalizers and GC is tricky.
