It’s not just tech bros bending at the knee of #Trump, it seems the American judiciary is too.

In the UK we are familiar with the Divine Right of Kings…it’s been rubbished for several hundred years now, but the US seems to have dredged it up and created the Divine Right of Presidents. This is not progress.

Confusing phrases that turn out to make sense:

"Nearly unique": there are very few things like this, but not quite as few as 1.

"Nearly non-unique": there's nothing else _exactly_ like this, but there is something _almost_ exactly like it.

(The first of those seems reasonably intuitive, but I ran into the second today and had to scratch my head over it for ten minutes.)

The next sci-fi author that wants to talk about alternate origin stuff should use Xenophyophorea. They're a deep sea organism that grows up to 20cm (8") but they're a single cell. They make specialized shells made selectively of minerals including uranium. We don't know how they reproduce and we can't find them in the fossil record.

Everyone always wants to say worthy things about the qualities that make a good programmer. But I occasionally think that "a sense of humour" isn't given enough credit.

In programming, you're constantly making mistakes, and being told you're wrong (by code reviewers, bug reporters, and the computer itself). If you let that get you down, you'll quickly find another career.

When I realise I've made a mistake, my reaction is often to find it amusing – smile a bit, maybe laugh out loud, share it with a friend if it's funny enough.

I can't remember how I got that attitude in the first place. Perhaps just luck. But I sometimes think it's the main reason I stuck with what would otherwise be a frustrating profession!

you may also have a history of jobs where you could feel safe generally. The first thing we all need is to normalize mistakes and feel like they're ok and part of learning. Laughing at what we've done can't happen when we're afraid for our jobs. Glad you're in a tolerably healthy place, however you got there tho!
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)

totally agree – a workplace that puts you under constant pressure to never make a mistake is utterly toxic. _Especially_ if you feel under that pressure from day 1 when you're still learning your way around, because it's even more obvious that people will make mistakes while learning than that they'll carry on making mistakes once they're up to speed (though both are true).

Not only that, but a workplace of that kind isn't even serving its _own_ interests, because if it's trying to incentivise employees to never make a mistake, what it's really doing is incentivising them to never _look_ as if they make a mistake. So the mistakes get covered up and the company never finds out about all the problems.

Google's new TV's will have built in mics, so your TV will hear you without your direct intervention. gemini "AI" assistant built in. And you no longer have to use a trigger word like β€œHay Google" to get it's attention.
Basically this means that a Google TV with this trash in it will be always listening and collecting data on every word said within earshot.

This is some seriously dystopian, Fahrenheit 451 level bullshit right here.

These spirits not only empower him in combat but also protect him from harm. Among them are ancestors from an ancient time when his species had only wings and no hands, reminder of his lineage.

My dad has this very old piece of cross-stitch art in his house. Every time I see it I'm struck by how much it anticipated 1990s pixel art on 16-bit micros like the Amiga, simply because the artist was working under similar constraints: a low-resolution grid of square pixels, and a strong incentive to use as few _different_ colours of yarn as possible, with much less constraint on what those colours should be – just as the Amiga and similar machines let you have a palette of 32 colours on screen at once but they could be chosen from a much larger space.

And the artist has used the same stylistic tricks to compensate for those limitations as Amiga artists did, or at least some of them. I could easily imagine someone having drawn this in Deluxe Paint, and perhaps even used it as an interstitial image in the middle of a period-themed Amiga game, with some important plot dialogue subtitled on the bottom.

I keep thinking it would be kind of cool to digitise it back to pixels + palette. But for proper style the result would have to be stored in an IFF ILBM instead of any more up-to-date image format.

Digitisation now done! Followup thread (with considerable Amiga emulator war story): https://hachyderm.io/@simontatham/114021236557200593


Last month I posted a picture of a piece of needlework art in my dad's house, and remarked on its similarity to Amiga-era pixel art: https://hachyderm.io/@simontatham/113777224091786351

I said in that post that it would be cool to digitise it back to a paletted image suitable for actually loading into Deluxe Paint. I didn't get round to doing it … but someone else did! https://kaberett.dreamwidth.org/ put in a *lot* of effort (more than I would have dreamed of asking for) and sent me a PNG.

I thought the only reasonable thing to do with that was to convert it back to IFF ILBM, transfer it on to an Amiga floppy image, and load it in _actual_ Deluxe Paint. Tada!

But even given a starting PNG, getting it into DPaint was a challenge. (1/8)

@lightspill A group of people have decided that education should be about stuffing people with facts and fitting them out to do a job. A CEO I know through a friend still says 'I want a work force educated enough to work a machine, but not educated enough to question me.' Those are the people with political power, and have had it since the days of Thatcher.
TundraWolf mastodon (AP)
@lightspill There is nothing against vocational training in what I say, it really works better for some people and our education system should accommodate that. But it should be about producing people, not unthinking slaves.
