I don’t care what you believe or not spiritually.
But leave me the fuck alone with societal policy decisions based on science fiction novels or the Holy Prepuce or whatever.

This was one of Binkley's groups at the University of Indiana, where he taught for about 16 years.

I can see the CA hashes that #Intel publishes in their AMT docs also in the MFS in my #firmware samples. This one is from a ThinkPad X230, so it's version 8.x.

Ich gehe ja nur wegen der wirklichen Pro-Tipps zur Physiotherapie. Zum Beispiel: "Statt dieser Duobälle fürs Faszienrollen können Sie auch einfach zwei Tennisbälle in eine Socken geben. Damit sind Sie flexibler und können den Abstand zwischen den Bällen regulieren, für das Ausrollen von Hüfte und Gluteus, am besten an der Wand, und vor allem von den Waden, am Boden."

Just wrote a fun little algorithm for iterating through all grid positions within X euclidean distance from a center, roughly in order of distance but also mostly ensuring each position yielded is at least diagonally adjacent to the previous. It's a fun problem to think about with lots of design tradeoffs and many valid solutions.
My solution requires that the origin be on the grid (I think?) and uses a bunch of caching instead of a bajillion distance checks, although I don't actually know what the memory/speed tradeoff is like or whether there are any gains at all (could be net losses, which I'm starting to wonder about more as I write this post). Thankfully I don't expect performance to be very critical here anyways, and doing the caching actually helped separate some logic in a useful way.
A fun little diversion from bigger stuff in the project and a reminder of some of the joys of programming design at a small scope. Feels kinda like mastering the local town's minigame while you're stuck on the main quest in an RPG.

Imagine you bought a ThinkPad X230 for $1200 in 2012, and in 2026 you're like "actually, this machine is still fine, I see no reason to upgrade"
