De negen schapen die eind augustus werden gedood bij een veehouder in Luttelgeest, zijn niet omgebracht door een wolf.
Dat blijkt uit dna-onderzoek. De schapen vielen ten prooi aan een hond. https://www.destentor.nl/noordoostpolder/dna-onderzoek-maakt-duidelijk-het-was-geen-wolf-die-9-schapen-doodde-in-weiland-bij-luttelgeest~a2955d6d/

Maar ondertussen is de wolf wel weer zwart gemaakt.

Unity bullshit update #3: So I'm a contractor for a startup that does VR healthcare software. Our biggest partner is part of the US government, and have done some user testing, but don't really pay us. (I think we paid them actually...) After explaining that to Unity they still said, "that counts, pay us $4500/year for Industry". Also we are using the 2021 LTS whose license should precede all this bullshit.

DO NOT USE UNITY TO START A NEW PROJECT. THEY WILL TURN ON YOU TOO.

Periodic reminder in light of the #nyt strike that #wordle started life as a free, vanilla javascript website with no DRM and not owned by the nyt, and I packed it into a single html file that you can download and run offline or from any site, like this: https://jon-e.net/wordle.html

🍉❗️ IMPORTANT WARNING for when you are in #Amsterdam (incl. region) this week (incl. the weekend):

"This Thursday, Ajax has a football match against Tel Aviv (starting at 9:00 p.m.). The Amsterdam police are expecting a large number of Zionist football hooligans in Amsterdam and are also concerned that some who are also IOF soldiers may cause issues. So, please be cautious if you are wearing a Keffiyeh or a Palestine shirt.

Everyone on the streets should pay attention to personal safety. ESPECIALLY THIS WEEK." (source: Week.4PalestineNL)

They expect 2600 Haccabi Tel Aviv fans in the Johan Cruijff Arena (Ajax stadium). It's a real scandal that Israel is allowed to participate in EUFA matches, but now it's even become dangerous for locals. This weekend a peaceful protester was already beaten into hospital by a visiting Zionist. The @gemeenteamsterdam exposes its residents to a lot of danger. This football match should have been forbidden beforehand.

So please stay safe people! ❤️

On my way home to Centraalsterdam.

I can joke about "cursed" food all day long but in reality it seriously is none of my business what people enjoy eating. Your preference is yours and that's okay.

Also on that note, if we were to strictly sick to traditional dishes and ways of preparing them, no cuisine would ever evolve because every new thing deriving from the traditional form is "cursed" until it isn't anymore

I hate how all AI hype is predicated on "if we can just make this not be broken then it would be an amazing product"

And because AI produced things look kinda close to the real deal people buy it. Cause it feels like it just needs a small improvement, even though its flaws are a fundamental part of the technology

Just don't draw the weird 6th finger. Just don't make up things when you don't have a real answer. Just don't change the environment in an AI generated game entirely if the player turns around 180 degrees

These things *feel* like they're small, solvable problems to people who don't know better. We could easily fix those things if humans were doing the work!

But AI can't. It will never be able to. It can't because not doing those things means it couldn't do anything else either. Like self-driving cars, the solution to these issues will always be 2 years out

Rijkswaterstaat houdt vast aan de plannen ondanks eerdere protesten. Daarom bezetten we de boerderij als laatste redmiddel en roepen iedereen op ons te steunen. Morgen hebben we extra hulp nodig in de strijd voor de Limburgse natuur. Meer info: https://stopa2verbreding.nl [4/4]

I feel like half of programming is remembering how weird stuff works and the other half is setting things up so that you do not have to remember the weird stuff

Does anyone currently living in Germany follow me?

I'm in the UK, and I want to send my friend in Germany some backed goods as a present - what's the cheapest and most hassle free way to do so?

Something like a basket of muffins or a small fruit basket is what I'm after.

Thanks

That's a load bearing print statement (makes the i2c timing work)
