@technomancy well, or you start figuring out some metadata format, heuristics, system for running stuff and failure detection, and refine it a bunch

that does sound kind of fun

@technomancy it‘d be quite annoying for a few reasons

you‘d want heuristics for what file to run (esp for sizelimited, it‘s not uncommon for a release to come with different binaries for different hardcoded resolutions), some modern releases might be a website that runs in a browser

on the other hand, larger releases might come with a window that lets you pick resolution, so there’s some interaction required. some also won’t quit until you press ESC and loop instead

finally, while the executable itself is prrrrroooobably fine these days, shader compatibility can be mixed (opengl NVIDIA only isn’t super common but things do be like that in rare cases), and perf, who knows. If it’s old enough that the thinkpad beats most things that were available at the time, sure, but if not, well, if you optimize for size, your tradeoff might be speed.

@technomancy @ieure @researchfairy @mike I wonder how they even picked this

we are apparently not banned by facebook (though they by us, so, :akko_shrug:)

@technomancy is the imperial march (sometimes) diegetic

I genuinely have no idea

@technomancy also a big fan of "Windows95man - No Rules! (Rules Applied Version)"

clearly everyone involved in this is Into It immensely

@technomancy this is actually the funniest possible way this could go

@technomancy oh, yeah, I Guess

@technomancy permalinks? You mean when you click timestamp?

@technomancy you could, if you wish, DM yourself, though it isn't quite the same

@technomancy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control the devil is in the details, or in this case, sub-article, as is tradition

@technomancy TCP has evolved a lot, though

although, admittedly, in a really weird way where the congestion avoidance algorithm somehow keeps getting less sophisticated and it works better and better

@technomancy that's like 90% @dotUser , please direct congratulations thereaway

@technomancy OH HUH

@technomancy they put all the gay stuff in semis 1, and in the like first three acts in semis 2

@technomancy only if it's ukranian christmas music

okay nature like i appreciate the sentiment and probably great article but also this type of juxtaposition will never stop being funny

the next tumblr sexy man will be the Duke (java mascot)

@evan literally work in a country I wasn’t born in, wasn‘t a difficult move. EU makes it easy.

@mcc i did android development in university once and that is what convinced me to buy an iphone (i don’t know if iOS development is any good but at least I don’t know for sure that it‘s terrible)

@jwisser @mcc from my experience trying to get to work and debug and profile tflite models recently, it at least is also poorly if at all documented, so that’s neat
