Apparently the source code was leaked and this brave soul rewrote essentially the whole thing and made it available for almost all targets, incl. WASM.

I don't know if it's the work he's had done, the fake hair, the utterly inhuman color of his skin, the desperate and failing attempt to look cool, or some combination of all of the above, but: that mugshot is the closest thing to "unbelievable AI-generated nonsense" I've ever seen in real life.

A stretch of level design for project "borscht". NES displayable graphics.
Split it up in two to fit the width.
Just catching up on mastodon with some works not posted here before.

A full "block" of a level. Each level is divided into a string of blocks or stages, and each block has its own default scroll rules.
This one scrolls freely. Certain blocks of collision change the Y pan proportions to favour "down", to show the next block to jump to.
This would have less utility in free exploration games, because it's best used for clear-cut guiding situations. This game mostly has forward direction with a few forks.

pixel art boost(s) incoming. Frankengfx's use of color within NES constraints is just unreal

If you live in a city with tall buildings, take a look at the night skyline. The buildings probably have flashing lights on them to help aircraft pilots to identify the shapes of buildings and not fly into them.
You might notice that the buildings flash in synchrony, even though they are hundreds of metres apart. What's going on?

This memo from #FaniWillis, opposing #MarkMeadows motion to remove his criminal prosecution to federal court, is a terrific piece of legal argument. It completely takes down the claim that Meadows was acting under the color of federal law or exercising official authority, mostly by hoisting Meadows on his own petard. 1/ https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23925493/georgia-v-meadows-fulton-removal-response.pdf #LawFedi #FultonCounty #HatchAct

Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc
I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics
I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.
I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx
Please boost 😀

I was reminded yesterday of Les Cowley's "Atmospheric Optics" site, which I used to use as a reference when I was choosing photos for National Geographic News (their science news website).
Visual examples and explanations of atmospheric optical phenomena, like sundogs, glories, etc. Presented in glorious web1 style. extremely rad website.

🎉 We just released version 0.4 of the Spade HDL 🎉 . On the language front the biggest change is the addition of initial values for registers.
But the biggest additions this time are in tooling. Swim now runs tests in parallel and allows you to open the waveform from a test case with just a click. We also have new integration with https://wal-lang.org
And while not included in the release, I've been working on a new waveform viewer.
Blog post with more details https://blog.spade-lang.org/v0-4-0

Oh snap. I loves me the Fani.
Just in: DA #FaniWillis responding to Ken #Chesebro's speedy trial demand. Calling for the trial for all 19 Fulton defendants to begin on Oct. 23, 2023
Will be up to Judge McAfee to weigh in now. There's also the question of what happens to the pending fed removal motions....
Mastodon FeedWait a second... it's been 10 years since GTA V has been released?!
Does that make it a retro game? 😂

The new Mastodon search coming in 4.2 seems like it really is opt-in: there's a new "include public posts in search results" setting, and your posts only get added to search index if you enable it. When it was first announced, it didn't seem like it would work that way, but as is often the case, after some discussion the right thing happened.
The test I did was with the existing "opt out of search engines" option, which is supposed to keep posts out of Google et al if you suggest it ... but sometimes doesn't. The changes that were made to enable search within Mastodon would allow fixing this bug but it's not clear if or when that'll happen.

While I don't want to gloat about mugshots, it's important that the Trump conspirators have one taken.
Treating them like any other criminal is a PR win for the justice system itself, because my biggest complaint has always been about two systems of justice.
Which still exists, clearly, criminals doing only a fraction of this shit wouldn't be facing bail at all, but mandatory imprisonment while awaiting trial.
But every indignity they suffer which is also faced by the rest of the people suddenly exposes the inhumanity of the system to those who formerly never saw themselves in people who were arrested and criminalized.
Now that they do, they are fucking terrified.
I'm 98% certain Trump has been delaying turning himself in because he does NOT want a mugshot taken.
The more the law is capable of prosecuting the powerful, the more the indignities it forces upon us can also be faced by the powerful, the better.
Sure, reform the system.
But we get this one first.
We get the old rules, of the old system, applied to one of the architects of the old system.
A man who increased the penalties for stolen classified documents just in time to be prosecuted for them himself.
You told us to wait for justice, and it was agonizingly fucking slow.
But we have. We have waited.
Now show us that we're not letting them slide, that they face the same degradations and disadvantages of anyone else who is on trial.
Or else admit the system is rigged in favor of the powerful, admit that there are two tiers of justice, and stop trying to tell us to wait for justice.
We waited. We had little other choice. History watches what you do next.
Your move, Justice.
