Why does Unity Hub.exe starts 7 processes and use about 750MB of memory? I thought RAM was expensive now!

It's announced! Implicit is doing a remastered version of a Japanese-only space shooter based on a 70s anime that never existed. Plus the music is awesome!

FireTV Product Manager: We need to increase usage of Amazon accounts metrics! (Think) Oh. Let's remove Wi-Fi settings if the account is not linked! Probably some backwards way to comply with regulations, yet cripple features.

Fun fact Downloading msys2 from an airplane takes exactly 8 hours. Assuming you never close your laptop. So it never made it - Coding without being able to test is actually fun.

In 1980, Microsoft had already decided case-insensitive was better, even if it killed performance. Intellivision Basic from www.pagetable.com?p=46 - I started my programmer journey on a Color Computer 2 (TRS-80) that was bought by my father from Radio-Shack with a French manual.

Doing subnet tailscale static routing is something I had never done. (i.e. playing with network routes). Now our automated console development kits are getting pings in <1ms instead of previously 20ms from the CI machines, and are still accessible through the Wireguard VPN.

Silent Hill 2 (2001, PS2) simulates retinal regenerating in your eye as it adapts to the dark. If you leave the flashlight off in the apartments, the screen gradually gets brighter and brighter (over a few minutes). It never gets 'bright', get easily bright enough to navigate without the light.

We had to move a variable elsewhere in Rainbow Six Vegas PSP because it was next to an audio structure object that was initialized by a kernel system call which had a memory buffer overruns (confirmed by Sony). Data breakpoints didn't work so we created a watch dog thread for the memory location.

"FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show" "The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers" Running a government is boring. If only Homeland Security meant something more than kicking out immigrants...

"As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials." Keeping things working has value people understand when things start breaking.

Bicycle commuting reimbursements: The bill permanently excludes qualified bicycle commuting reimbursements from the list of qualified transportation fringe and other commuting benefits, making them taxable to employees. And from this, I'm out biking this morning!

If you answer yes, the Dragonlord asks "Really?", answering yes again turns the whole screen red and freezes the game. As a kid, I couldn't understand the English there. I had to redo the last level again and answer no!

Babies and animals (ex: dogs) can think and remember without being able to speak. Having an internal monologue is way too slow. I remember things through images, concepts, ideas. If I need to have a monologue, I usually say it out loud.

The Trump administration plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 plane as a donation from the Qatari royal family that will be upgraded to serve as Air Force One, in possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government, a senior official with direct knowledge of the matter said.

At implicit, our code repos have food themes: Toast (NES emulator), Pancake (PS1 emulator), Syrup (front-end engine). We recently refactored our code structure. So, of course we called the new repo: breakfast.

Robin Lavallée @robinlavallee.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Keep your code simple. If you're working on feature A, try to keep your code changes to feature A. Don't refactor the rest of your project.

The Phantom Toolbooth. It's a kid book. Not really. So many awesome quotes about life and growing up.

Just to the left, and not very far away, were the Triple Demons of Compromise--one tall and thin, one short and fat, and the third exactly like the other two. As always, they moved in ominous circles, for if one said "here", the other said "there," and the third agreed perfectly with both of them. And, since they always settled their differences by doing what none of them really wanted, they rarely got anywhere at all---and neither did anyone they met.

The President of the USA is powerless to ask El Salvador because they are sovereign, but they can take Panama, Greenland and maybe Canada by force, because they want to. Ok.
