My brain started playing a song from the back catalog of my memories, and I did some digging around on the internet to find the artist (Bree Sharp) had revisited the song (a "reboot" as she calls it):

https://breesharp.bandcamp.com/track/david-duchovny-the-reboot

There appears to be at least one small tweak to the lyrics that I approve of.

The original:

I enjoyed quite a few songs from that album, including "David Duchovny".

My #gpu fluid sim is working!

Debugging of these things is hard, because every step of the sim has a circular dependency on every other step, so a bug in one of them breaks them all.

Now I'm trying to make it a proper #Bevy plugin and hook up to lights.

Avoid surprising errors caused by types implicitly borrowing temporary data. Add this to the top of your src/lib.rs file:

#![warn(elided_lifetimes_in_paths)]

For backwards compatibility, #RustLang allows referring to types without mentioning they are bound by lifetimes, e.g. Cow<str> instead of Cow<'_, str>. This lint requires use of the more explicit syntax.

Convo today with a friend of my daughter:

Her: I have lots of #TaylorSwift merch.
Me: Really? Like what
Her: Lots of CDs, but I have no #CD player
Me: Did you rip your CDs?
Her: *Gasp* I would NEVER rip my CDs! Why would I do that?
Me: Ah. “Ripping” a CD means to turn its songs into #MP3
Her: What’s an MP3?

Narrator: and in that moment, Lloyd realised there were not 1, but 2 #Generational gaps at play because #streaming is the norm now.

Spade now has a playground at https://play.spade-lang.org/

It runs the Spade compiler, and simulates the resulting Verilog code along with a VGA monitor right in the browser through web assembly.

Since it simulates an actual VGA/HDMI monitor, the code written here can be uploaded to an #fpga and will behave exactly the same!

Very important for Swedes to vote in the EU Election. Privacy is a fundamental human right, even when there are bad people doing bad things. Mass surveillance by the government does more harm than good.

“…thanks to the AI revolution, we are entering a period where it will be a great time to be a humanities major with an interest in technology. The conventional story of course is that we're in the middle of a mass exodus from English or History as majors…And to be sure, the exodus is real. But there is a case to be made that college & grad students are over-indexing on the math & the programming, just as the technology is starting to demand a different set of skills...”

NEW, by me: LendingTree has confirmed its QuoteWizard subsidiary had data stolen from cloud data giant Snowflake.

It's the latest company, after Ticketmaster, to confirm a data breach hosted by Snowflake.

Throughout the week, TechCrunch sent more than a dozen questions to Snowflake about the ongoing incident. Snowflake declined to answer our questions on at least six occasions.

These are some of the questions we asked Snowflake, and why we're asking them.
