why are there so many books on using these pre-made engines? I want to learn how to make my own engine, but I'm having a hard time finding any resources like those.

The amazing value of the eLife Assessment, demonstrated:

"The fascinating role of neuropeptide Bursicon and its receptor in shaping insect seasonal polyphenism", by Zhang et al. 2024
elifesciences.org/reviewed-preโ€ฆ

"This *important* study shows that low temperature activates the bursicon signaling pathway during the transition from the summer to the winter form and that it affects cuticle pigment and chitin content, and cuticle thickness."

"The study's *solid* set of experiments and results reveal a role of bursicon signaling in regulating features of polyphenism related to the exoskeleton. Nevertheless, they only *incompletely* substantiate the authors' claims about the regulation of polyphenism itself."

In which other journal would a reader get such a valuable reviewer comment like this, right away? Only at @eLife ! ELife's Assessment for the win.

+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers

(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/โ€ฆ)

(Upd 2: MS Edge seems to have this issue; #Vivaldi also has it but it can be disabled; Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have it at all)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

The curse of moving to Australia with a US accent: all the people who will lecture at you about US politics! I remember when another US immigrant friend was with me as somebody decided to tell us how the US works. She rolled her eyes. I started to laugh. The fellow looked a little cross, but was undeterred! (catch a hint)

"I am not so sure that Australians understand their own politics all that well." Like many places, we do indeed have people here with that problem.

Linux Couldn't Have Happened Without This Other Man #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/NWR7iFt4C38
in reply to Brodie Robertson

>GNU's importance is lowered to merely be the "GNU tooling", which is only one part of GNU and then only later raised.
Hurd development started early 1991 once the licensing issues with Mach were resolved - so I don't see where he got "years" from.
>Mentions that there could have been all pure 100% GNU/Freedom if Linux didn't exist, but calls that "FOSS".
Nothing from MINIX was actually used in the kernel, Linux - I don't even think it even had an influence on its design - Linus happen to have used MINIX until he got sick of its design and decided to start writing his own OS, but only ever ended up writing the kernel.
>We haven't seen any major ME vulnerabilities
Aside from all the major ones intel has succeeded in covering up.
in reply to GNU/็ฟ ๆ˜Ÿ็Ÿณ

@Suiseiseki HURD development got started in 1986 but Stallman didn't want to base it off of BSD so that got scrapped to build off of Mach instead

Interesting that Mastodon itself combines a myriad of different social networks into one app. In a non-federated world, mastodon.social and vivaldi.net would be completely separate social networks; more so for Flipboard, Ghost, Pixelfed and so on. And yet you get all of them in your home feed on Mastodon.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
More accurately, thanks to federation, the posts from not one but myriad social networks float by unnoticed in your feed unless youโ€™re online watching like a hawk 24/7 ๐Ÿ˜‰
in reply to Brian Dear

@brianstorms The home feed algorithm is a choice of Mastodon, not the federated protocol underlying it. Threads has an algorithmic timeline and its part of this network. There are also apps that address this on the client-side, for example @phanpy has a unique catch-up feed.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I appreciate you & Mastodon, Eugen. I especially like the diversity... in clients, configurations & people. Let the fingerwaggers go post on the social networks they built with 20M users.

Oh, wait a minute.

Ammo vending machines installed in Oklahoma and Alabama grocery stores


"The machines, created by American Rounds, offer ammo to be purchased without engaging with a store clerk. They โ€œare accessible 24/7, ensuring that you can buy ammunition on your own schedule, free from the constraints of store hours and long lines,โ€ according to the companyโ€™s website. The company states that the machines are equipped with โ€œthe latest AI technologyโ€ with card-scanning and facial-recognition software to verify the identity and age of each buyer. "
