I understand now!

As a cardinal, he was fine.

But when a cardinal becomes Pope, he dies and also goes woke.

Now, we can remember his name.

His name… Is Robert Prevost.

His name is Robert Prevost!

My dude, there is “literally” no standard definition. There was even a fucking conclave about it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike#Berlin_Interpretation

Because they’re 2D RPGs with randomized dungeons?

I hate what “genre” has become in games, entirely meaningless. Wtf does roguelike even mean anymore when it’s being used to describe multiplayer lootbox shooters?

I just ditched it last month, finally. For Codium though, I’m still not committed to a retvrn to emacs. Exciting though, should be a new version out soon then! Edit: well, maybe not that exciting. I just checked the link and of course its like 95% “improvements” to the forced Copilot integration.

Oh wow, I just got a severe knowledge update. I had no idea that modern monitors had pushed past the sRGB color space and sometimes can display more colors!

I thought this article was making some ridiculous claims until I linked through a few other articles to find this one. If I’d realized that monitors show more colors I’d have made a stronger push to adapt to LAB or related color spaces. My game is doing low-level RGB stuff (which I think my available GPUs had forced onto me) and now I’ll have to look and see what the LAB support is like.

One can allegedly test for this here. But none of my screens, monitors, or hardware seem to support wide-gamuts. So I guess I have some time to get used to new color spaces yet.

Human beings are not proscriptive. A “gay” “man” is a human being with biological characteristics typical of human males, who acts in a manner society describes as masculine, and who feels attraction towards similar sexes and genders of people.

If that person is forced into sex with a person they don’t feel desire for, I dunno, that’s some kind of thought-experiment rape. If a “gay” “man” has sex with a “lesbian” “woman” and it’s consensual for both of them then they are both, by a descriptive measure of what acts have occurred, bisexual people, who have just engaged in heterosexual coitus.

That’s assuming that both of them have engaged in homosexual acts before of course. By the nature of this thought experiment, they both could be people who self-describe as such without actually having done it.

They are free to consider themselves whatever they want, because self-descriptions of people are always based more on aspirations and desires than facts. Lots of billionaires consider themselves good humanitarians, and lots of straight people have suppressed homosexual desires. People are complex, contradictory, and our language falls behind in accurately describing reality.

A direct link to the paper, for folks that want the science free of the hype.

I got fired from a programming job because I wrote code for maybe 30 minutes a day, but spent all my other time going from desk to desk helping other devs find problems and get unstuck. It was maybe the most productive I’ve ever been on a job.

That day, I learned a valuable lesson: do an hour of work a day (or week), then sit at your desk pretending to work while parceling out the stuff you did. Never help anyone. My career has been much more successful since.

Ooh, I’d been looking at wasmer but wasmtime looks easier and more appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion!

Also wow, a D programmer in the wild! I used to really like that language before I got into Rust (my beloved).

OK, now I understand! And I get why they say the code isn’t human readable, haha. Thanks for taking time to explain!

So similar to how WINE works then? This is taking the MM binary and building a wrapper around it that translates it’s system calls into something generic?

Literally have a dozen other tabs open about how to embed a WASM engine into my Rust game. At least I’m not (currently, at this time, right now) writing my own language or trying to embed a prolog engine.

“The addition of Polygon not only strengthens our editorial muscle but also amplifies our ability to deliver unmatched value to both audiences and advertisers,” said Valnet CEO Hassan Youssef in a statement.

That seems like it really won’t be true when you’ve laid off all the writers and editors who were doing that.

I don’t see any comments on PC Gamer about it?

Objects don’t “have” colors either, if we’re being pedantic. They reflect/absorb/transmit/emit different combinations of wavelengths. So “pink” objects just reflect some wavelengths that we classify as in the range of “red” and “blue”. Color is an interaction between emission, detection, and the brain’s interpretation.

Its not even a unique trick. The ears combine various wavelengths of air vibrations to create sound, with combinations of pure waves merging into distinct timbres (sometimes called “tonal color”).

I knew about tracking dots and anti-copy features of currency, but I had no idea it was such a secretive thing. This is wild stuff.

According to Wired.com, the banknote detection code in these applications, called the Counterfeit Deterrence System (CDS), was designed by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group and supplied to companies such as Adobe as a binary module.[

That’s so fucked man, imagine integrating some random binary module supplied by the world bank into your app and then keeping it completely secret. That’s surely not the only opaque binary that these companies just load in, god only know how many backdoors and other malicious shits have been stuffed into major retail software.

When the picture-of-a-post content is from Lemmy/Fediverse, that’s the good stuff!

Do you know about 100 Rabbits? I’ve been occasionally following them online for a few years now. They’re an art collective, living on a boat, writing code and sailing the world.

It is both my “living the dream” and my antidote to being overly romantic about what such a life entails.
