I love me some technology! Powershell all the things! My opinions are my own.

@dumfuqqer @slimakBlazej @commodoreofcl Closed Firmware doesn't mean it is no longer useful or no longer a good product. Sure it is disappointing that they are closing it off but if the company can't survive then their products can't continue and then we are stuck with the status quo.

[Patrick Hess @d31337antics]

@slimakBlazej @commodoreofcl For their general hardware support I completely understand this move. They aren't a monster company with infinite resources, if someone mods the firmware and breaks things it can cause support to go down a rabbit hole. It's definitely a give and take decision.

Raising a child with someone from Philadelphia is so insidious, I caught my child watching a 14 minute YouTube video entitled “Best of Phanatic” and now my four year old says she won’t go to a baseball game unless “the green monster is there.” (We live in DC, I’m a nats fan).

you see a toddler pass out mid-morning, gripping a tiny half eaten muffin, and when they wake up later, they just start eating the muffin again. this is real freedom. there are wild horses less free than this

Most programmers are taught that L1 is the “top level” cache on x86.

It’s not quite true anymore!

Intel calls it the Decoded Stream Buffer (DSB), AMD the OpCache.

Only enough room for ~4,000 micro-ops, but there are interesting ways to take advantage of it.

We take randomness for granted.

Early PRNGs were BAD.

Thousands of scientific papers used to rely on RANDU, created by IBM in the 1960s. In 1D space, it looks ok!

Map in 3D…you start to see the issues. Now, there *was* a better solution...but it would cost you.

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog

That's a tech tip I can get behind.

Just let me turn off shorts on my own account too, please?

@WindowsLatest Because it is so much more intrusive than Windows 10. 😩

@GamewithDave Man that is a throwback! I think mine was Destruction Derby? Really hard to remember exactly but that is at least one of my first memories for the PS1.

@thecahoonfamily @NoCatsNoLife_m Almost every cat we have had in our family were local strays. They just want to be fed and loved, they also understand the value of a stable environment and usually end up being some of the best pets you will ever have in my experience.
