I've been enjoying the incredible creatures posted under #SuperbOwl but apparently some confused people think it is about some football game as well?

OK, since I finished "Spartacus: House of Ashur" and were reminded of "Those About to Die" (great show, watch it) and seeing as I'm always being about "Rome," let's do a very quick thread about real gladiators, based on what I remember learning about them like 15 years. 🧵

SAIU ✨TEXTO NOVO✨!!!!!
acho que esse é o texto que eu mais queria escrever e demorei, principalmente, porque o tema valia uma dedicação maior que a de costume.
e apesar do esforço que exigiu, to bastante feliz com o resultado!
espero que gostem
I can get behind that

A nice run-down of open-source tools for designers, via @piccalilli.
"[...] the first few months of planning the course revolved around breaking out of the Figma ecosystem and putting as many free and open source tools to the test as we could. Now, the fact this article exists shows that we succeeded on that front, but what I honestly didn’t expect was that the experience would be so good (and honestly quite liberating) that I’d actually be switching my whole design setup to free and open source tools."

In the 1999 election campaign, National PM Jenny Shipley regularly ripped into the Greens over their drug law reform policy. In the end the Greens got just over 5% of the vote and the Coromandel seat. A big improvement over their polling at the start of the campaign.
So the PM's attacks didn't certainly seem to hurt the Greens. But there's a good chance that many people who might otherwise not have voted, or voted ALCP, heard about the Greens' progressive drug policy from Shipley.

So what might the left learn from this when it comes to campaign strategy this year? As the new age saying puts it, "where attention goes, energy ".
Any time we draw people's attention to all the things wrong with the ruling parties, we draws it away from a focus on what a better government *could* do if elected. Also, I suspect the flaws of the regime are pretty obvious to most of us. Harping on those flaws seems more likely to turn people off, than to inspire us to turn out in Nov.

For #SuperbOwl Sunday here’s the most superb owl of all: Bubo from “Clash of the Titans”, currently on display as part of the Ray Harryhausen exhibit at The Mini Time Machine museum in Tucson: https://theminitimemachine.org/exhibitions/ray-harryhausen-miniature-models/

Yesterday I started designing a Digital Signal Processor with megabytes of DRAM. Provided this is intended for use in USB peripherals... How'd it communicate with your "host" computer?
I'd include a config table mapping up to 16 endpoints to the DSP's arrays (I guess then our DSP should support 32 arrays). Upon receiving a valid IN packet from its USB transceiver it'd stream data from the corresponding array in DATA packets with error detection codes, awaiting acknowledgements.
1/3?

Upon receiving an OUT packet our Digital Signal Processor would stream the body of valid DATA packets into one of its arrays.
In either case I'd trigger an interrupt on our to-be-designed processor letting it clear or update the next packet.
Interface 0 would hold data to be sent in reply to SETUP packets. GET/SET_DESCRIPTOR SETUP packets specifies 4bytes addressing the metadata covering type (1 nybble used), index, & (for strings) 2byte locale.
2/3?

Other SETUP packets specifies 2bit type, 2bit recipient, 1byte request code, & 1byte index for 20bits total. Though it appears that a bit of that request-code byte should stolen to indicate read/write, in exchange these values can be 2bytes each. This includes an address value used to determine whether we should pay attention to a USB packet.
Meanwhile the string pointers may need to be nudged to fit in this address-space, so I'd reserve a page where we can store per-locale offsets.
3/3.5!

The 20bit addressing for SETUP fields & 16bit addressing for locale-offsets would fit comfortably within spare regions of the 28bit-addressed descriptors.
Yes 1/4GiB is a lot of memory to dedicate to storing USB metadata, but... If I'm saying I need a lot of RAM anyways, it can simpler to use some more RAM than to embed fancier logic.
Its worth mentioning that the dereference would incur some overhead.

@emily_rugburn is there anything about Alzheimer and Elvanse ? 🤔
@maikel @emily_rugburn my suspicion is that the stimulants, used appropriately, might cause a tiny bit of increased risk due to increased oxidative stress because the cells are literally more active, but it's probably less than whatever small risk the benzos may or may not be causing, which is small enough that it took researchers decades to notice it might possibly exist.
if you take enough stims to cut back on sleep ... likely that impact becomes much larger.
