Got the Burnside engine running in headless mode which got me thinking about doing some basic golden patch render tests on CI. A weekend later, each build now produces this new tab. It's my first time ever doing something like this but my feeling is that it'll pay off in the long run.
Shows a custom 'Golden Renders' tab that's produced by rendering a patch from a sub module and comparing it to a pre-stored expected image.

The patch renderings are produced with each commit and should only cover my bases. A separate nightly build will then test each operator in a more comprehensive fashion.

The Spanish Inquisition bit from Monty Python but it's Quark, Rom, and Nog from DS9. (If you've never seen Star Trek, they are aliens called Ferengi. They have bald, bulbous heads with enormous ears that are almost the size of their face.) Caption: NOBODY EXPECTS THE RULES OF ACQUISITION!!! (If you haven't seen the show, Ferengi are space libertarians. The only rules they believe in are the Rules of Acquisition, a book full of 285 sacred business proverbs for how to be the absolute fucking worst. I bet Elon Musk has them tattooed on his ass.)

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a bone. The bone says, "I make stem cells!"
Panel two shows a pancreas. The pancreas says, "I make insulin!"
Panel three shows the bone and pancreas and now a brain. The brain says "I make scenarios!"
Panel four shows the bone, pancreas, and brain. The brain is on fire.

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.
The Woman yelling at a cat meme, but the woman is now Gene Wilder's Dr Frankenstein ("Fronkensteen!"), his friend is Terri Garr's Inga, and the cat is now Igor ("Eye-gor!"), who is sitting behind the table with a big smile on his face. The table in front of him is taken up by a large glass jar with a brain in it. The label on the jar reads: "DO NOT USE THIS BRAIN! ABNORMAL". For the sake of argument, the massive hand resting on the chair behind him belongs to Peter Boyle's Monster. Although Mel Brooks does not personally appear in this image, it would not exist without him.
