I've seen The Great Wave off Kanagawa a thousand times, but never noticed the boats until I read the Wikipedia article and went back and looked for them.

The bug resisted all attempts at understanding, but I found a workaround without harmful side effects. Ticket closed!

"now working on 7.7-current"

This is the ideal map form. You may not like it, but this is what peak projection looks like.

It's quinoa night at casa honk, so you know what that means. It means I'll be picking microquins off the floor for the next week.

"Phones, other electronics exempt from new tariffs"

The new made in America is exempt from tariffs.

"By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures."

Or they already "know" and just need to make up some evidence.

Dystopia used to be a fiction of resistance; it’s become a fiction of submission, the fiction of an untrusting, lonely, and sullen twenty-first century, the fiction of fake news and infowars, the fiction of helplessness and hopelessness. It cannot imagine a better future, and it doesn’t ask anyone to bother to make one. It nurses grievances and indulges resentments; it doesn’t call for courage; it finds that cowardice suffices. Its only admonition is: Despair more. It appeals to both the left and the right, because, in the end, it requires so little by way of literary, political, or moral imagination, asking only that you enjoy the company of people whose fear of the future aligns comfortably with your own.

"Apple quickly shipped 600 tons of iPhones to ‘beat’ the new tariffs"

That's 544 megagrams for the metric lovers.

Not every Bush song sounds like heartbreak with a side of constipation. According to the youtube CC, Machinehead is energetic.

S3E9 Yellowjackets credit song is sad girl remix of Glycerine, but it's only 20 seconds long. :(

The branch predictor knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it branches from where it didn't, or where it didn't from where it did (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The branch predictor uses deviations to generate corrective instructions to jump from a branch where it is to a branch where it isn't, and arriving at a branch where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the branch where it is, is now the branch that it wasn't, and it follows that the branch that it was, is now the branch that it isn't. In the event that the branch that it is in is not the branch that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the branch is, and where it wasn't.

I read more about this branch prediction. And it looks like pseudoscience or like philosophy. Philosophy also studing in universities. It based on principle "better learn something, where part of it can be wrong, than don't learn anything at all", because intel wouldn't share real CPU working principles and architectures.

Damn liberals at it again!

I have a new favorite conspiracy theory: someone in the talk page for the wikipedia article on branch prediction thinks that branch prediction, in its entirety, is fake

I get that this is headlinese, but an “is” (“is asked”) would go a long way here Protos

Proximity sensor that sounds an alarm if I try to leave the house and my phone battery is below 60% without a battery pack.

I wonder how training investors that selling the pop is more profitable than buying the dip will work out long term.

I don't care about the price of eggs or coffee, but if they come for my raisin bran, there's going to be hell to pay in the next election!

Saved by the pause!

A surfeit of honey cloys the tongue; a surfeit of wine addles the brain; so a surfeit of ease guts a man of strength. Light, warmth, food, water, were free to all men, and gained by a minimum of effort. So the people of Ampridatvir, released from toil, gave increasing attention to faddishness, perversity, and the occult.

Two more moons for my moon taxonomy. It's a pink moon and also a micromoon.
