A friend of mine (who is not a technology person) mailed me a thumb drive full of videos.
It took like a month to arrived. We were both convinced it was lost. I finally got it!
When I opened it I saw it had been "compressed" (not crushed) and I had to carefully bend the plastic back to plug it into a USB port.
Finally copying the files, which are 1990s era punk rock shows of local (and some touring) bands.
I'll probably publish them all at some point. Ma…

Publish on Ping: A Better Way to Publish Reservations in Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures
Safe memory reclamation techniques that utilize per read reservations, such as hazard pointers, often cause significant overhead in traversals of linked concurrent data structures. This is primarily due to the need to announce a reservation, and fence to enforce appropriate ordering, before each read. In read-intensive workloads, this overhead is amplified because, even if relatively little memory reclamation actually occurs, the full overhead of reserving records is still incurred while traver…

When you publish a game with Xogot to the Web, in addition to playing it on the window, you can now download the zip file with all the assets, so you can upload to places like itch or host the game yourself.

International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study explores the effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the international collaboration of Ukrainian scholars. First and foremost, Ukrainian scholars deserve respect for continuing to publish despite life-threatening conditions, mental strain, shelling and blackouts. In 2022-2023, universities gained more from international collaboration than the NASU. The percentage of internationally co-authored articles remained unchanged for the NASU, while it increased for universitie…

Dressed to Gamble: How Poker Drives the Dynamics of Wearables and Visits on Decentraland's Social Virtual World
Decentraland is a blockchain-based social virtual world where users can publish and sell wearables to customize avatars. In it, the third-party Decentral Games (DG) allows players of its flagship game ICE Poker to earn cryptocurrency only if they possess certain wearables. Herein, we present a comprehensive study on how DG and its game influence the dynamics of wearables and in-world visits in Decentraland. To this end, we analyzed 5.9 million wearable transfers made on the Polygon blockchain (…

"Twelve years after “As We May Think”, and simultaneous with the developments of the IBM 1401 and FORTRAN, copies of “Datamation” started popping up on selected newsstands. This magazine was the godfather of all programming magazines, and held its crown for 41 years (quite a few ages in computer time!), until being phased out as an online magazine in February 1998."

If an "undercover" officer is seen and known to the press then I would not hesitate to publish their face image and identity - in part because they have failed actually be "undercover".
That said, the fact that agents can't be identified as actual Federal agents, much less identified down to the individual actor when they do ill, is simply unacceptable.
TSA at least has numbers on their "name" badges, so one can make a complaint about a person …

Sonnet 102 - CII
My love is strengthened, though more weak in seeming;
I love not less, though less the show appear;
That love is merchandized, whose rich esteeming,
The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
Our love was new, and then but in the spring,
When I was wont to greet it with my lays;
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing,
And stops his pipe in growth of riper days:
Not that the summer is less pleasant now

This is an interesting article about FFOTUS's cell phone.
Apparently many people know the number. And apparently FFOTUS often picks up and answers.
If I had the number I would publish it so that all of us could carry out our First Amendment right to "right to petition the government for redress of grievances".

i need some testers
One of my nerd goals has long been to publish an app on play store. I often find simple tasks that are hard to find simple apps for. They have bloated functionality, bad UI, filled with advertising and requests device permissions that are totally unnecessary.
I've got my app to closed testing, and need some more testers to get it to open testing, and apply for production.
Hope to recruit some testers here. I only need 12 for at least 14 days.
