The good old days: installing linux on the only machine with access to the internet, while having illegible handwriting.

Beste @demorgen.be , het is NIET dubbel zo warm in Limburg als aan de kust als het in Limburg 38 graden is en aan de kust 19. Is 2 graden Celcius dan ook dubbel zo warm als 1 graad Celcius?

This is the origin story of every compiler developer

Did my first trial run of a new rule during student defense of a code project.
Point deductions for code that's not fully understood line by line (LLVM's).
It's did not go very well. At all. Maybe education is where the AI revolution is taking place, and it's not pretty.

“When your soul and mine
have left our bodies and we are
burried alongside each other,
a Potter may one day mould
the dust of both of us
into the same clay.”
― Omar Khayyám, New Quatrains

“Poor soul, you will never know anything
of real importance. You will not uncover
even one of life's secrets. Although all religions
promise paradise, take care to create your own
paradise here and now on earth.”

How can half of 4 be 1,9 that's just not right

Dude, thank you so much for creating some core memories for me as a kid. I had no idea how the game actually was meant to be played :D but I had a great time just poking around

The terrifying things is that I see this code in the work of my students, because AI picked it up because it's accessible and can't tell

Juist! Een boek! De meet oudbollige manier om informatie te verspreiden, ipv een medium uitgevonden in de laatst eeuw(en)

Showing two runners in a backyard ultra with 110 laps, the current world record

Ok, they both finished their 110th lap, even 5 minute faster than average. That means they're *at* world record. One more lap and one of them has it.

Quirk of the rules: the winner (technically, the only one to finish the race) is the person who runs a loop alone (one more after the second quits)

Intermediate backyard ultra race results showing 2 runners on their 108'th lap

Ultrarunning is so crazy. 2 people have been running for *5 days* and reached 724 km. 20-ish km and they'll have the backyard world record. Again, they've been running since Saturday.

Me? Also some guy. It's ok to make mistakes, or not to attempt the best version of everything.

Ah, thank you so much! I'm not sure why I missed that, but a looming deadline might be to blame :) It works perfectly now.

Alpha blend settings

I am very confused? I'm alpha blending, just want to do dst += src, but seem to be getting dst*dst o_O

Ancient programmer curse

I had to give a workshop to people just starting out their CS education. I showed them some C++ out of bounds shenanigans, and, even without knowing how to program, they instinctively were horrified.

Pet theory:

Catholics end their week on Sunday so they can repent for what they did

Doechii: Tiny Desk Concert YouTube video by NPR Music

I can get caught up listening to the same handful of albums. Someone linked me youtu.be/-91vymvIH0c and now I'm just listening to the same concert over and over.

Graphical artifacts in excel menubar

Really curious what could cause this artifact (Excel menu bar). Looks like corruption, but it's reproducible at startup.

Reading my old report cards. Apparently I showed great interest in "the kings and the wars".

Implementing nanite LODing, I really want to use the swedish word lagom (not too little, not too much) for triangles count per pixel. It's a good word.

Vergessware?

Sorry to hear! I'm definitely guilty of too much, too soon, but I hope I can still find a way to do it often.

Omw for graphics programming conf day 2. Who put the keynotes first thing in the morning :(
