Asynchronous circuits don't need a clock, they run as fast as they can and they require minimal technological assumptions. If properly designed, they can operate in a wide range of voltages and temperatures.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Infuriated by J.D. Vance’s disparagement of childless cat owners, the nation’s cats are planning a mass protest at his next campaign appearance... announcing what they are calling the Million Meow March, the cats wrote... “He may think that cat owners suck,” the statement continued. “But you know what really sucks? ‘Hillbilly Elegy.’ We couldn’t get through the first ten minutes, and we cats can look at almost anything for hours.”

I am giving a talk at a work event in Vegas during hacker summer camp and - i kid you not - this is the template we were given. So ofc I could not resist the feminine urge to use it appropriately.

And yes, it does bother me that I did not effectively center ‘brat’.

Sorry this is cropped within an inch of its life to ensure I did expose any actual work stuff.

Window management in #macOS #Sequoia is cursed.

I've clicked the arrange 2x2 icon *once*, and since then all new app windows keep opening squished to quarter size.

The single-item fill option does not maximize windows. It keeps adding inter-column gaps to all sides of the screen too. So many unwanted gaps, it's like USA bathroom stalls.

Sinclair top anchor Eugene Ramirez quits over slanted news he was forced to read.

“One of the primary issues that prompted Ramirez's resignation was the requirement to include at least three stories produced by Sinclair's Rapid Response Team (RRT) on a nightly basis…. Through July 4, 2024, the RRT has produced 147 stories this year that portray Democrats in a negative light and just 7 stories that portray Democrats positively."

It's really something that the Republican party is now facing off against a coalition so unwieldy and broad that the only tent big enough to cover it is the pro-democracy label.

If they were even 30% more fair-election-curious, they could shatter the D's narrative. But no, they're all in on coup apologetics and vote suppression and corruption and minority rule. Incredible.
