@Koppernicus @Kanthan2030 They're in the Forbidden City, but they're like a 25min walk to where nothing happened.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career.

Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

@eevblog In browser settings, find "language" and add "en-AU" and then put it as a higher priority.

@0xabad1dea Now the 看漫 watermarks make sense, but I initially read it as 看慢 and didn't understand why I needed to read it slowly.

@ItsKikoKuso @TheWapplehouse That's a premix canister and they have them in Canada (and likely the US) too. When doing large quantities, though, it's cheaper to use tap water, CO2, and syrup and have the fountain combine things.

@chiroamir @CBC @CTVNationalNews @torontolife @CP24 @redcrosscanada Yep! I won't make the same mistake again and send them anything more.

@ow @scooberuwho "40 seconds to refresh" Is that normal? What does it look like during that long transition?

[Tim Tisdall␀ @TimTisdall]

@chiroamir @CBC @CTVNationalNews @torontolife @CP24 You can email them at [email protected] and ask them to stop sending stuff. I did in Nov but still received something today. At least I didn't get the stuff you show here!

@Patticus Am I too late to the party?

When I was in the county jail, my attorney gave me advice that changed my life forever. The final words of Steve Cougill, a thread.

@duolingo Why is there still no practice button in Android if you have Super?

[Tim Tisdall␀ @TimTisdall]

Today I learned "Rogue-like" actually referred to this game.

[Scott Miller - Apogee/3D Realms Founder ☢️ @ScottApogee]

I owe a lot to the game, Rogue (1980, by Michael Toy & Glenn Wichman). And so do most other game developers. It inspired my Kroz games that launched Apogee. And the whole category of Rogue-like games. Here's my sacred copy.

@MorseLyA @jean_yoon It's like a lightly frosted thick rice cracker. I think they're both sweet and salty.
