It turns out, this was originally an optimization for the ActionScript stack machine–I guess everyone else has just been uncritically copy pasting these functions into other languages for the last 23 years. :)

Holy shit they released the source code of C&C Generals, Renegade, and the first two games (the original source code release for those two was based in the remastered version) and added Steam Workshop support for a bunch of the C&C games 😳

Komend weekend worden door heel Nederland weer geredde jonge #bomen en struiken gratis uitgedeeld. Het betreft de allerlaatste uitdeeldagen van Meer Bomen Nu voor dit seizoen.
En om deze tweedekans bomen en struiken daadwerkelijk een tweede kans te geven, is het belangrijk dat zij dit weekend worden opgehaald en worden geplant op de plek waar zij wél uit mogen groeien tot volwassen bomen en struiken.
#MeerBomenNu is een campagne van #Urgenda, ondersteund door #ASNBank.

@joepie91
Even ten years ago they probably could have floated a vague ToU and we'd have given them benefit of the doubt. Today? No chance. They need to have everything vetted by their legal team and by some sort of "don't burn our remaining goodwill" unit, before jamming it down users' throats.

I'm not so sure that those legal terms from Mozilla mean what people seem to think they mean, and I think that at least a big part of it is essentially a misunderstanding.
But at the same time, it's absolutely Mozilla's responsibility to be extremely clear about this and not just throw in some legal boilerplate without explanation, if they want to foster trust towards them, so I don't have a lot of sympathy for them either...

Overigens: reis je in Nederland wel eens met de trein en wil je ook weten hoe je (tijdelijke) problemen met de geleidelijnen voor blinden en slechtzienden moet herkennen, meld je vooral en dan leg ik een keer uit hoe ze werken. Het is niet ingewikkeld, en het kan helpen om dit soort problemen sneller te vinden en op te lossen 🙂

DEpol, Nazis, negative
And so it starts ...
Neonazis, a mix of skinheads and guys in military jackets with combat boots and facial tattoos, have stationed themselves at the train station and carefully watch the stream of travelers. Whenever they notice someone who's not white, visibly queer or wearing something Antifa-related, they step in their way and tower over them with a mean expression before letting them pass.
An intimidation attempt and a warning, I reckon.
Happened to me. Happened to a Black woman before me. Happened to a couple people behind me who I recognized from antifascist protests. All in plain sight of a bunch of cops in their cars, who just ignored the whole thing. I actually hailed down one of them to point the guys out, but he just shrugged and said well, as long as they don't insult anyone and aren't getting physical, they're not doing anything illegal, so there's nothing they can do.
Bestie and I also saw an uptick of visible fash on public transportation. We had two kinda boxing us in on the tram today, just watching, but I was still on high alert ready to get bestie and me the hell out of dodge if necessary.
But yeah. That's Germany after the election. Fash can just silently harass you in the streets in line of sight of cops and you're told that's something you have to live with. The AfD didn't even have to win, the CDU under Merz making a hard turn towards right-wing politics was enough.

Ter promotie van meer gebruik van #Linux staat mijn nieuwe project nu online: Linux voor een beginner.
https://linux.vooreenbeginner.nl/
Het doel is iedereen die de overstap wil maken een toegankelijke introductie te geven en dat vooral zelfstandig kan doen. De eerste mensen zijn afgelopen week gestart met het bekijken van de pagina's en hebben hun eerste installatie gedaan!
Volg nieuwe artikelen en ontwikkelingen: https://linux.vooreenbeginner.nl/rss/

Incidentally, many of the men who seem to be more competent only appear that way because they used harassment to steal work from more competent marginalized folks.

This, this, this. Men profit far too much from harassment to ever want to do anything to solve it. Entire generations of deeply mediocre white cis men have succeeded in academia exclusively because they use violence (implied, threatened, or actualized) to push everyone else out.

I was just laid off from SparkFun. It was sudden and cowardly. I logged on for a weekly status meeting and Nate had HR with him.
14 years this Saturday.
And now I'm unemployed in the midst of what is already a very difficult mental health crisis recovery.

Request for help with knowing how much estrogen, progesterone and blockers to take, serious medical problems mentioned
We saw a doctor yesterday and he said that our oestradiol is too high (1076 pmol/L) and T too low (0.3 nmol/L).
He said that the 'blockers' we take (5mg of finasteride) probably isn't doing anything to block T and it's the estrogen alone that is blocking it, and that progesterone has no studies proving it is useful but it does that it might be harmful with blood clots and cancer and stuff
Currently we are on:
5 milligrams of finasteride taken once daily
150 micrograms per 24 hours of oestradiol on patches changed twice weekly
200 milligrams of progesterone taken once daily.
Should we change any of this since no real advice was offered we are not sure.
Thank you!

When it comes to digital stuff, if you can’t
download and store it
DRM-free
