Anime First impression: Lord of Mysteries
In a parallel world, in a city similar to Victorian London, our protagonist is transmigrated into Klein Moretti, an occult investigator.
After stumbling around, Klein joins a special agency that solves crimes involving "beyonders", people with artificially gained supernatural powers.
He takes a mystical potion that grants him a clarivoyance that sometimes acts on its own.
If you like Gothic Horror, this anime's for you.
@0xabad1deaabadidea i see "burning" to mean "flashing" (programming a Flash memory) all the time in translations from chinese, both machine and human
do you happen to know which word it originates from?

Watching some of the recorded streams from Playtime Festival on YouTube (currently Jambinai). I've always been fascinated by this festival, and it always has an amazing lineup.
Very tempting to think of a trip to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 🤔

a few years ago I got nerdsniped by some then-newish research on teasing apart correlation and causation by looking super carefully at the data. now I can't find that work (unclear if it's google that's deteriorated more, or my brain that has) -- anyone happen to know what I'm looking for here?

Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

This piece by Philip Ball is worth the read. His writing has changed the way I look at science. I still remember reading "Designing the Molecular World" and sitting there in wonder, making connections in science no other writer helped me make before.

The GLFW app runtime from Ghostty has been deleted. Diff +403/-22,547. 😍 Since 1.0, this was always a dev-only backend (no official packages used it, and our packaging guidelines forbade it). It was a long road to get here, the commit message has some interesting history.

Apropos nothing at all: Hey! I moved from San Francisco to Amsterdam two years ago, and I've never been happier. A friend wrote this guide for Americans:
Yes, I'll unpack the makefest stuff soon, right after I've built my open source underwater vehicle.
No, that sink full of water isn't for the washing up..

Sat down to play an Xbox game I haven’t played in a while. Oops, I must have uninstalled it to free up space. Fine, reinstall from disc — takes 20 minutes to copy 50GB from Blu-ray to SSD. Launch! …Wait! There’s a 110GB update to download. I’ll finally start playing two hours after I wanted to. I miss the experience of putting a cartridge in and *just playing*.
I've been chasing out of memory issues in #Python for literally years at this point. Every 2-3 weeks I've needed to restart my app (lest I leave it to crash from running out of memory).
I've tried every trick in the book to find the "memory leak", and while I've made a few improvements, nothing has stopped the continual climb of memory use.
That is until a month ago. I gave jemalloc (an alternative memory allocator) a try.
The result? 30+ days of uptime with 11GB of RAM to spare 😎
#Gitlab just closed the issue about supporting #ActivityPub. Kai Armstrong says "our current focus isn't in this area".
This is very sad, I really think this could have been a pretty good match *espacially* for Gitlab. It could have been a puzzle piece in how to do federated open source coordination. You know, the problem with "not wanting to be on github, but kinda finding it convenient everyone has an account already".

Sometimes it really does help if a lot of people comment. The #ActivityPub issue was reopened by #Gitlab:

I just described bus timetables at a local transit center as "leading / lagging the ferry phase" in order to "provide sufficient setup/hold margin" for transfers between modes of transit.
Does that make me some kind of nerd?
It seriously is a synchronous CDC between, dare I say, buses.

Most websites are awful… They load slowly, render erratically, and hide their content behind megabytes of JavaScript. They glitch on mobile. They frustrate users and confuse search engines. They’re impossible to maintain. And somehow, we’re calling this progress.
The tragedy is, none of this is necessary. Once upon a time, we had a fast, stable, resilient web. But we replaced it with a JavaScript cargo cult.

@AbdullahawwadDr.Abd RASMI wants to continue to his studies. He has a doctorate in medicine from IU in Gaza in 2023 with a general grade of excellent.
While studying he was a national lead for a global study: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0258348 and also: https://icph.birzeit.edu/posters/clinical-learning-environment-gaza-strip-cross-sectional-study-among-medical-students
Dr.Abd Rasmi wants to study public health. He is proficient in English. He needs help finding graduate programs and scholarships to apply to.
If you can help, please reach out or forward.
I have two

Gesticulation; a long running 35mm 3D photographic log of my own work at

Both could use some followers on this here federated network. They both had 4 digit follower counts on that other network which kept me there for a long time but that feels like a lost cause at this point so having some eyes on them here would encourage me!
I'm watching the Ozzy concert with my kids. Slayer is on and my kids are like, what is even going on right now.
