NEWS FROM CANADA

Ok, not really "news", but did you know you can find info on the latest seismic/earthquake in and near Canada at https://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/index-en.php

They have an RSS feed there too.

So I've got this mac now, plugged into a KVM with my "real" computer, and I keep switching over to the Mac, starting very large downloads, and then KVMing back to Windows. And then later when I return to the mac I discover the download failed partway through. This has happened like 3 times. WTF could be happening? Is the mac going to sleep? How do I make it stop? All the useful options appear to have been removed from the Energy Saver control panel:

@mcc yeah, at this stage of my life I'm not interested in learning a new shell. Last time I was forced to, by my own machine, was 1994.

I once went to a reunion dinner with my university friends. In the previous year TWO of them, independently, visited a decomissioned nuclear missile silo somewhere in the Dakotas or US southwest somewhere, honestly can't remember where.
Idiosyncrasies indeed.

Heyo, here's a writing tip:

Use "i.e." when you want to say "that is to say", like a definition.
Even numbers are divisible by two, i.e. X is even if there is some integer K such that X = 2 * K.

Use "e.g." when you want to give an illustrative example.
Fruit are often colourful, e.g. bananas.

Hey, the Android Graphics team wants your feedback on Vulkan tooling.

"We are planning the roadmap for Vulkan tooling for the next few years and we would like to understand tooling needs directly from Vulkan developers. What tools you're using that you're happy with (so we make sure we fund them to stay healthy) and what tooling gaps you see on Android so we can decide to fund development on them (in-house or somebody else)."

Please fill out the form survey:

"Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization" is an awfully fancy name for a relatively simple concept. On the other hand, spelling out the algorithm is fussy and full of bookkeeping.

Ha! I just saw Episode 3. Was disappointed with the first two. Then I convinced my wife to soldier on and watch ep 3 because I remembered the first toot, thinking it was about 3 not 4.

Enjoyed 3 tho!

I would like to tell you about LEMMY aka KBIN which is the new "the Mastodon version of Reddit" federated service. I think it's PRETTY NEAT.

First, let me tell you how to get Into Lemmy:

Just go to this website
https://beehaw.org/
and start reading.

That's it! A nice thing about Lemmy is you don't really need to be logged in to use it. Since the focus is communities rather than personal feeds you can just click around logged out until you want to comment.

What if you want to comment?

dneto,
@dneto@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@mcc

Thank you for explaining it like I'm an absolute beginner.

Not that I'm looking for more input channels. But this does look interesting.

Life hack:
Buy a good enough TV.

Wait 13 years.

Dispose of (give away) said TV and take possession of your brother's hand-me down TV because he upgraded and his old TV is both newer than and also better than yours.

Never buy a TV again.

I once wrote and maintained a 7500LOC Perl script.
It was mission critical.
I wrote tests.
I handed it off to my.colleague when I left the company.
