I ported Zelda Classic, a 20+ year old C++ Allegro program, to the web: hoten.cc/blog/porting-z…

@DenaBryan12 @iseehowitizz @tenilleclarke1 What's happening? Isn't she recovering from an invasive surgery?

@iseehowitizz @tenilleclarke1 I think the extreme reaction is they have learned there is much more to the lie than just a manipulated photo. They know the whole story is false and to publish the photo makes them complicit. They will all lose credibility when the truth about Kate comes out.

So just to be clear here - in the Public Relations industry, a “kill notification” is the coup de grâce of the media circuit. For AP to issue this update, means that something is TERRIBLY wrong. Think of it as a Cat. 5 cyclone. This is literally a death blow to any press source.

@dalmaer surely they don't really think playing the victim card and adopting a tone of "we didn't get ours" plays well when they are the 2nd largest company. So what's the idea behind this press release?

@dalmaer this is a wild press release "Spotify Pays Apple Nothing" Could say the same thing the other way ("Apple pays Spotify Nothing")... value is generated both ways. but i guess the 2nd largest co. in the world is fine making disingenous arguments when profit is on the line

This just shows how Apple has gotten too big for their boots. A healthy platform recognizes that you are investing for your JOINT users. Many Spotify users want to use iOS, iOS is better because of Spotify. Yet Apple shows that they think they are so important that everyone should pay for every part of their investment. Imagine if Microsoft had done this... "hey we have developers sweating on the APIs!!" And when you look in the corner and see the Mac. It's mind boggling. The more power you have, the more humble you should be. The more you should respect the ecosystem. apple.com/newsroom/2024/…

@42petunias @brooklyn47361 @trevorshowvan @TableBoston Maybe I misread all this but sounds like OP did a chargeback by calling thier credit card, instead of doing a claim with the insurer for the cancel fee incurred due to their sickness.

@42petunias @brooklyn47361 @trevorshowvan @TableBoston Someone else mentioned that travel insurance doesn't interact with the third party business at all, and will just compensate whatever you lost directly. It seems given this is insurance the cancel fee should have been uncontested, and then the insurer would credit OP 250$...

Clicked on "add a payment method" fascinating

was being generous. some stuff takes minutes to finish. glanced at a trace and yup, some custom made shit analytics framework. they'd see people dropping out of their flows in their dashboards, if it weren't for the fact that no one has a choice in internet service.

@Suhail Dee?

Well, at least they shipped I guess. (yes, this is the $20 Gemini)

@cassidoo Why does the alt text say that

@potter52009 @GWVP0 @PicturesFoIder he...he.... he just gave more relevant info.... what are you reading into this

Cop arrests fire fighter in the middle of tending to a wounded civilian because fire truck was 1 mm over the line.

this is at least the second time in a year I've a come across a MSVC bug. Last one was way easier to handle, since it crashed the compiler for a certain code pattern (crash is way preferable, bc no nasty assembly debugging)

so, how normal is it to come across an error in MSVC codegen? Straight up bug in the compiler. 100% not undefined behavior. The assembly is obviously doing the wrong thing.

solution.... disable auto vectorization for a loop. #issuecomment-1894869085" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/asmjit/asmjit/…

@anniesullie that's a beautiful pie

Perfect night to stay home and make pizza.

@gupt_rach @historyinmemes idk, maybe she likes to take risks in her life

@historyinmemes It’s good to show your roots but don’t see a reason for doing this in the parliament.

@MarioBrothBlog "The player's score is stored as a 24-bit hexadecimal number in memory." What does this mean?

Below is a technical explanation of the problem. More details, as well as the exact algorithm, can be found here: smwspeedruns.com/Score_Manipula…

Super Mario World is so staggeringly inefficient at displaying the player's score that in a worst-case scenario, up to 16.548% of the console's computing power is spend entirely on displaying the score on every frame. Details in reply.

@jaffathecake Are we just less risk adverse to CSS regressions than say, with JavaScript / flatten, since a site is still more likely than not operational with CSS regressions than with JS ones?

@jaffathecake What allows the web platform to make this change? I'd assume there are some sites out there accidentally and incorrectly applying a as-of-now defunct align-content on a block element, and with this change the layout will break.

Excellent! Although people will still make memes about this being literally impossible for another decade.
