@FakeUnicode The fediverse needs you. How else will they shake out the encoding bugs between all those servers?

🙄
Okay, look, if twitter does go dark over this whole Müsk kerfluffle we reserved fakeunicode.org [just prefix unicode dot org with fake] and might put a dump of our tweets there or a blog or something later.

@idig3d @adrianbowyer The graphic seems to come from today.yougov.com/topics/politic… . Near the end they say how the surveys were done and how many people were surveyed.
English
@adrianbowyer What is N? Who answers polls anymore? Who would tell the truth when asked? 51% Dems and 50% Reps? No independents? Maybe they were doing the wrong kind of poling?

@poggerslib @nikicaga It looks like this might be the source of the graphic today.yougov.com/topics/politic… . There's a section at the end about the surveys.

@chrismessina @kentd99 @AppStore I was so close... Should have realized that before even finishing my sentence.
English
@chrismessina @kentd99 @AppStore If it's not direct sponsorship then maybe some other mutual benefit? Maybe boosting tiktok pushes down a common competitor that they have in common?

@BillieRubenMake I just revived my account at @Rob_Russell" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.cloud/@Rob_Russell . Good time to poke around and try it out...
English
So... Mastodon. What server did y'all join?

This shift has been going on for a long time. I wonder if it's ever been any different.

@DaveHogue I think it's (unfortunately) the fact that truly passionate tech practitioners are demoralized by the industry's shift towards exploitative practices & buzzy-buzz-buzzwords, versus a true exploration and value-based innovation.

Is there an AIO liquid cooler for my PC that will let me put my coffee cup on the radiator?

If the bash patterns for Shell Parameter expansion (gnu.org/software/bash/…) were available with Command Substution (gnu.org/software/bash/…) then idk if I'd ever need cut or awk.

@Odd_Jayy Strong agree. It's been such a trope for so long: take any technology that's not widely understood, assign some nefarious intent, make people scared for entertainment.
English
I really wish we'd stop making movies about killer robots -_-. NO hate to this movie I think its a fun ride, but public perception on robots are already "when is it going to kill me" and movies like this don't help

hi, i'm #M3GAN. your new best friend. ❤️ this tweet to chat with me. see u in theaters jan 13.

@climagic Thanks, this helped a lot. The default blue "34 dark" never has enough contrast for me on a black background. Running this a few times after changing the setting gives a lot better context than the preview in a preferences dialog like this one
English
Show your basic terminal text colors for the purpose of changing them in your preferences.
printf "\e[%dm%d dark\e[0m \e[%d;1m%d bold\e[0m\n" {30..37}{,,,}

Wild story but just completely straightforward execution. RF rules are just different from the security model we want to imagine on top of the internet.

This will be a thread discussing a real world breach involving a drone delivered exploit system that occurred this summer Some details I am not able to discuss, however for the blue teams & red teams out there I hope this provides a good measure of capability. 🧵🚁 🎮🖥️🦠

@sigfpe I guess once everything has a warning then nothing has a warning? Detectorists, especially the first series, is the most wonderful enjoyable show.

@abbymath @davemakesstuff_ @Thangs3D @Polymaker_3D Thanks now I know what will be in my nightmares tonight 👻

Not my best quality print, but certainly a lot of fun. And the creepiest thing I've ever printed!
Saucer printing now and into the night.

What is the correct name for a cable with a USB A connector on both ends? It doesn't seem right to call it a USB A to A cable since *A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)*

This makes so much sense. It's reminiscent of pointer representation of a multidimensional array in C. Or the stride of a texture in graphics memory. I've never spent enough time in depth before to understand the shape and reshaping in these Python libraries
François Fleuret@francoisfleuret
A recent exchange on Twitter made me realize that many may be using tensors without knowing how they are represented in memory, and how it makes some operations super fast. This is standard stuff common to many tensor libraries, including our beloved @numpy_team and @PyTorch.

@chelscore I felt like the green card process assumed that any entry/exit happened by air travel. Growing up near a land border it wasn't uncommon for people to cross daily or for weekend shopping. No passports are being stamped for 99% of those travellers.
English
pre-pandemic we were driving to Vancouver nearly once a month... since you don't get passport stamps w/ a green card & Canadian passport I had to go back to my photo feed and text message history to figure it out. Don't be like me!
English
Pro tip for anyone considering applying for US citizenship in the next 5 years: keep REALLY accurate travel records! You're required to provide the entrance/exit dates & country for every trip outside the USA. This was a lot of info gathering for me, esp for land borders!
English
Good advice for future green card or citizenship applications.
The land border crossings are hard to track down for green card applications too. Even with the I-94 website it helps a lot to keep some second record for yourself.

@copystar Definitely. And the recent boom in ML image generation is another huge accelerant. If there's not already a religion around AI then it's coming soon.
