if there were any justice in this world, Adobe refusing to port Flash Player to WebAssembly should have been punished

I was trying to think of a way to display a rainbow on my #Hand386 to show how the LCD really goes towards blue when viewed directly on, and of course I thought of @foone’s VGAPride!

🎉🔥 It's out! 🌟🎉

There are two of you in an aircraft, one with an Android phone and one with an Apple phone. What's the best way to get a photo from one phone to another?

Bonus points: do it without paying $14.95 to move the files thousands of miles across the world and back again.

Ahh yes, the two languages.
the programming language binary.

I wonder if I can set up a git precommit hook to keep me from committing files that don't fit the MS-DOS 8.3 filename pattern

Holy _shit_ this paper, and the insight behind it.

You know how every receiver is also a transmitter, _well_: every text predictor is also text compressor, and vice-versa.

You can outperform massive neural networks running millions of parameters, with a novel applications of _gzip_.
