This massacre is Khamenei desperate bid to cling to power. The world must act now. Non-intervention will unleash a human catastrophe worse than Syria’s nightmare. For years Iranians have paid a heavy price under the evil regime. They need tangible support to prevail. @MarkJCarney

This totalitarian theocracy has zero legitimacy among the vast majority of Iranians. They’ve held the population hostage, used and wasted the countries resources to sow regional chaos and fuel global terrorism. No more!

Khamenei & IRGC terrorists slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent Iranians in a brutal rampage on January 8-9. I know people firsthand who got shot. Internet is shutdown but few leaked videos show bodies pilled in morgue. Watch to grasp #IranMassacre: youtu.be/7gypdxRyQlk

It is Myo armband revived. Myo’s creator Thalmic Labs (aka North) was acqui-hired by Google. I met a few of their engineers when at Google Waterloo. But Myo's tech IP went to CTRL-labs which was eventually bought by Meta. Big tech acquiring Canadian innovation in 2x speed.

The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Happy international women’s day

There are 16 invisible variation selectors which enables efficient encoding of any arbitrary data. We (ab)use them to encode metadata appended to all translated strings with no UI impact. A simple plugin then decodes these to surface very useful info to our localization QA.

UTF-8 🤦‍♂️ I already knew about the "confusables", e.g.: e vs. е. Which look ~same but are different. But you can also smuggle arbitrary byte streams in any character via "variation selectors". So this emoji: 😀󠅧󠅕󠄐󠅑󠅢󠅕󠄐󠅓󠅟󠅟󠅛󠅕󠅔 is 53 tokens. Yay paulbutler.org/2025/smuggling…

Read this quote which resonated strongly this morning: We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean waves, the universe peoples. Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

Finished Revelation Space just a hour before the loan was due. The pacing and character build up was a bit lacking. Some interesting ideas. I liked the different aliens depiction and plot twists. Not yet sure if I want to commit to the whole series though.

@_Behrouz Very keen observation. Just finished the series. “People will support an entertainment product and not care about moral fibre of the guy running the product. They want entertainment.”

Also I just found out that the author James S. A. Corey is actually two authors working together. Two author is clearly better than just one 😅

Reading memory’s legion. It is a short story collection that is set in the Expanse universe. This reminded me how good the writing of that book series was. 👌🏻 #scifibooks
