Whenever I look at the code for the MiSTer FPGA core we developed for Nemesis, I’m amazed again that we pulled it off. I remember how complicated the sound subsystem looked at the beginning, with its unknown K5289 custom chip. Then I laugh at how simple it is compared to the rest of the game […]

@younata Nah I have a strong and long hatred for Phillips-head screws. No point "protecting" the tool by stripping the screw head and the bit. I haven't picked a favorite but Torx and square seem nice.

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

A solved Ghost Cube. It’s almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a Rubik’s cube: it’s all white, the pieces are irregular 3- to 6-sided polygons, and the lines between the pieces are not continuous, making it look like the faces cannot rotate.

I like how we've had this XKCD cartoon for decades, yet "sending files" is something early adopters are still figuring out how to do. (It's been one of those mornings...)

A stick figure cartoon. The person is talking to someone over the phone running through a half-dozen options for sending a file to someone else, and what makes each of them impractical (or at least inconvenient), ending with the other person just driving over to their house with a USB drive.

@MichalBryxi A PDF has several bounding boxes, one that delimits what needs to be printed, and one what needs to be kept after cropping. And another two or three that I forgot what they are. But the person who cuts wants marks to be able to verify the bounding boxes are correct.

Beautiful brickwork bench in Shiraz, Iran. 🌿

A long, wavy brick bench built into the sidewalk in Shiraz, Iran, curving gracefully around tall pine trees that grow through circular openings in the pavement. The bench is made from rows of reddish bricks, blending naturally with the grey stone walkway. A tactile yellow guiding strip for visually impaired pedestrians runs alongside the bench, leading down the tree-lined street. The road on the left is quiet, with greenery and street lamps visible in the distance under a clear sky.
