I declare that today, Nov. 19, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of BitBLT, a routine so fundamental to computer graphics that we don't even think about it having an origin. A working (later optimized) implementation was devised on the Xerox Alto by members of the Smalltalk team. It made it easy to arbitrarily copy and move arbitrary rectangles of bits in a graphical bitmap. It was this routine that made Smalltalk's graphical interface possible.

i remember an article a very long time ago on "how to ask questions" in the context of tech spaces i.e. "can i do Y" vs "how can i use X to do Y in Z" but i can't find anything of the sort now, does anyone know anything like that?

webpack is a blight
social media is bad no matter who is running it, even this server i host
i will laugh at anyone who is genuinely shocked that mastodon has gone corporate and i cannot wait to see people be shocked when dansup follows suit next
i miss being able to throw incompatible shit on everyone else's timelines like spinning emoji
