PSA: People on #mastodon love to boost/reblog. This is great because it gives people a wider audience and let's you see new stuff. But, if someone is boosting too much or boosting content you don't want to see, you don't have to unfollow them. Instead go to their profile, hit three dots menu and choose "hide reblogs". It's a lifesaver! #psa

EMERGING FROM TUNNELS 🚇

I love the juxtaposition of this image taken at Leicester Square Station. A commuter and a train come out of their respective tunnels.

Surreal. You’ve well and truly lost the debate once you start praising Neville Chamberlain’s shameful appeasement

RT @derJamesJackson@twitter.com

You couldn't make it up.

Angela Merkel praises Neville Chamberlain(!) in a Spiegel interview, saying that she bought time for Ukraine by rejecting them for NATO membership at Bucharest 08 like Chamberlain bought time at Munich.

Your TypeScript errors are the compiler saying your code will crash. My TypeScript errors are my code crashing the compiler. We are not the same.

So, don't tell anybody, but we're going to announce Palm Pilot emulation in the browser at Internet Archive in the next week or so. I've still got to get descriptions in for the hundreds of apps that are uploaded, and add a few more classics. But if you want to help with that, or just let me know how it's going, ping me here.

But don't tell anybody! It's a secret!

Hey girl are you single cause you look like a point of failure to me

YAML is the most popular language of the ML family

This is an old project, but by some miracle it's still working and I woke up this morning wanting to celebrate the things I love more.

This Inkplate e-ink screen shows Conway's Game of Life, seeded from tarpits I have on the Internet. The tarpits are programs on my computer that superficially look like insecure Telnet and Remote Desktop services, but actually exist to respond super slowly and make bots scanning the Internet 'get stuck'.

When a bot connects to the tarpit, the data it sends gets squished into a 5x5 grid and 'stamped' onto a Game of Life board. Data from a bot at the IP address 1.1.x.x will get stamped on the top left corner, data from a bot at 254.254.x.x will get stamped on the bottom right corner.

Conway's Game of Life, a set of simple rules that govern whether cells should turn on or off, updates the display once per second. The result is that bot attacks end up appearing as distinct 'creatures', that get bigger and more angry looking over time (as their centre is updated with new data). After the attack finishes, the 'creature' eventually burns itself out.

Despite that description, it's a really chill piece of art that doesn't draw too much attention but I can happily watch for a long time.

Credit for the idea goes to @_mattata, I had been wanting to make a real-life version of XKCD #350 for years before seeing his Botnet Fishbowl project.

Right now, I feel so angry for Scotland ( and yes - I’d be devastated to be separated from them) but I completely COMPLETELY understand why they want to be severed from this selfish inward looking country of class -obsessed materialistic philistines ( present company excepted) and from Westminster.
And yes- it looks like this 👇

My coworker Lex has written up about the ground rules for incident reviews that we've established at Honeycomb. I'm super excited about these being in a shareable format now:

The flight of NASA's Artemis (purple) uses two very close encounters with the moon's gravity (green) to changes its trajectory to get back to the earth (blue.) Amazing.

I just want to put this out there: I'm a solo developer currently doing a vertical slice demo of an online multiplayer racing simulator.

I plan to keep the future team small. But I'm looking for potential partners to work with: physics programmers, audio engineers, env. artists and vehicle modelers. Especially if you've been a modder of AC, AMS1, rF2 or GPL. Or maybe has experience of working with vehicles and driving experiences in game.

I thought I was quite decent at #simracing, but every time I try out #RichardBurnsRally it's such a humbling experience!
My brain can barely keep up with the pace notes from @jonn
Here I manage to keep the car straight for 30 seconds, but I definitely crashed both before and after the clip :D
