Hmm, I would like to see a double blind scientific study in "ear pulling" being connected to kidney health. (ps, completely different book here) #random#health
"We can wrap you in a full-body suit of neoprene, heat-resistant rubber. Or we can raise the temperature in Cosmo's office to 98.6 degrees - which is probably what we'll have to do, because the neoprene would suffocate you. "
Hmm, a very large dog just came up to the window (outside) here where I am working--about 5 feet way from me--and starting a loud howling for a few minutes, and left. (not my dog). Last night there was a raccoon there all night, and a coyote wandering around. Now I am wondering what is so interesting right here outside.
(I think it was a dog, because it was wearing a reflective collar... but now, I am not so sure).
(For the record, the dog here inside was very confused--but not alarmed--about why a strange dog was howling at the window) #random#dogs
Updated this article with an extra para on the #Malaysian school system & realise how confusing it is. I speak 4 languages only because I had the luck of growing up in certain areas & studying in schools where Malay, English and Chinese are used often. These days, it's not unusual to find graduates who can only speak ONE language. In #Malaysia, this can be limiting, especially if you cannot speak Bahasa Malaysia, the national language.
Discute di un concetto per me non nuovo, ma applicato ad un #retrogame per #Atari, #YarsRevenge. In pratica, il #gioco usa parte del suo codice per generare #pattern sullo schermo con un’#entropia abbastanza alta da sembrare #random, e creare effetti visivi interessanti. 🎇
Sarebbe definibile #quine, se non fosse che non è completo… manca una parte non trascurabile del #codice macchina, e anche per questo a conti fatti, anche se in teoria è possibile, nella pratica non si può realisticamente recuperare l’intero #programma semplicemente guardando cosa viene mostrato a schermo nella cosiddetta #NeutralZone. 🧱
Questo tipo di roba, ossia la visualizzazione di #dati in modi “non adatti”, mi intriga sempre. Non so perché, ma escono sempre effetti sensoriali unici quando si prendono dati #binari e li visualizzano direttamente per vie multimediali. In questo caso, c’è tanto da analizzare in una vista del genere, e perciò il video è #intrigante. 🪬
Maybe the graphics are that intense, even at whatever they chose to call “medium”. Try “low” then and see how those work out.
You are worked up about linguistics because it’s nothing more to you at the moment. Just because you’re used to run every other game at “high” or whatever, doesn’t mean this different game has to be the same.
I refuse to agree with “my midrange GPU has to be able to run everything at Ultra for #random number# of years or I am going ballistics”. I want progress. That’s what I buy new hardware for every few years. If you want graphics to be stuck and don’t advance in any meaningful way, get a console.

What are you trying to imply here? We know that “medium” doesn’t mean any raytracing etc. So what techniques do you think they implemented that could make “medium” so unbelievably good?

My guy, what are you on about? I’m not saying that this game has to run on “high” on a specific configuration, I’m saying that 540p on medium is unacceptable for a last-gen GPU.

Why not go a step further and insinuate that I want Ultra-Mega-Hyper graphics on my 20 year old toaster? You’re already misrepresenting my words to hell and back.
TIL the original Zamboni machine was built on a Jeep, and was popularized by a touring ice skater who happened to witness it: Sonja Henie.
Here is the man himself. Frank Zamboni.
His machine scrapes the ice, augers it into the tank, washes it, storing the dirty rinse-water, and then melts it and spreads it evenly behind with a "towel", where it quickly re-freezes evenly.

I do not know the context of this AFP photo, but I feel like it needs a bit of #Photoshop to have him holding something. A large pumpkin? A balloon? A giant round head? #random (Update: to see some great additions, click on "Expand This Post" on the three dots).

Did you hear about that new restaurant on the moon?
The food is great, but there’s no atmosphere.
Slack Is Basically Facebook Now (www.theatlantic.com)
The article’s title covers everything. Slack simply serves as a form of social media for the office that reduces employee productivity.
