Oggi ho visto due film.

Al cinema, nel pomeriggio, Le città di pianura

In TV, la sera, No other land

Certamente un confronto non si può né si deve fare, ma entrambi, per motivi diversi, mi hanno toccato profondamente.

Ci rifletterò.

Scifi Mastodon, please come to my aid! I am trying to remember the name of a scifi novel.

The protagonist is a teenager boy, whose father is a chief executive at NASA.
A villainous woman is staging a coup to take over the US.
The father wants to get his son to safety. At midnight he takes his son to NASA's electromagnetic launcher, sending him to the small lunar colony.

Ring any bells?

Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard.

They did the math: It’s cheaper to let someone die than save them with a procedure they can’t afford.

This is what happens when profits take precedence over people.

I love how mining companies don't care about what is woke or not, they just chase profits. So when you see them trialing/upgrading to electric trains because it makes sense from a profit view, you're left wondering wtf is happening for victorian regional passenger services.*

I solved my I don't want to install uv to build servo, by ripping it out of the servo build scripts and replacing it with clunkier uses of venv.

Also building servo is so much faster & easier than firefox.

On an 11th gen i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz with 32 GB ram an a SSD it took 7 minutes 35 seconds to build.

The GameBoy could be connected connected to another GameBoy via a cable, whilst the Color (presumably inspired by TV remotes) used an LED & light sensor. 9Front's emulator uses a socket to represent this.

The initializer for which registers a timer sends & receives some data (order depends on whether we're operating as the socket's server), re-enqueues this timer, exits if its a sync packet, the "leader"/server sets a flag, exposes the input to I/O register SB (hex-1), ...

1/3?

... clears the most significant bit of SC (hex-2), sets or clears the least significant bit of SC, & sets the most significant bit of IF (hex-F).

Next the initializer either opens a socket & waits for a peer to connect on it, or connects to said socket. If successful it initializes the channels & runs 2 threads for reformatting the timer's data over the socket.

1.5/1.5 Fin for today! I'll finish discussing 9Front's GameBoy emulator tomorrow!

It looks so much smaller on TV.

Stumbled across this #job listing from Sony and thought I'd share. They're looking specifically for UBLK / nvme experience. Bonus for #rust!
