@Vex_Lament @currentiyke It's still better than The Rock's acting

We really don't know how bad this CGI was😂

Seriously, this is a nice Tetris implementation. A huge improvement over the original of this version. This is Tetris Recoded. #C64 The music is ace, and the “physics” are really just right. Very very nice update. Lots of options too.

@jesse_history @The_Ops_Room @SquireFlyer @Saebelzahnmoewe @PigLazer Are the drivers ok?

One of the trucks our History Youtubers convoy donated to Ukraine last year has been knocked out (actual truck in the video)! You can help us replace it here via our partner NGO YOUkraine: youkraine.at/donate/ @The_Ops_Room @SquireFlyer @Saebelzahnmoewe @PigLazer

@0xC0DE6502 Was the partial screen color cycling something the original hardware supported? I don't remember ever seeing it before.

Acorn Electron shoot 'em up WIP. Quick screenshot to show the work I've done on the dashboard / status panel at the top of the screen

@svpino Or websites could stop using tracking cookies to sell your personal browsing data to advertisers.

A world-changing idea for the European Union: Find a way to stop the "allow cookies" nonsense on every website, and the entire world will forever be grateful to you. You ruined the Internet.

@MuseumCommodore The Tetris soundtrack by Wally Beben. I used to play that game for the music, I still play it while I work sometimes: youtu.be/Ny743c32gPg

Which Commodore 64 game had the best 'in-game' music?

@davefarley77 @holly_cummins I think we always did the most complicated things we could handle given the available technology, so about the same.

@FundingGym @elonmusk @MarioNawfal Talent like Werner von Braun?

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Have you assessed the native talent that put men on the moon? What changed since then?

🚨SILICON VALLEY'S BIGGEST LIMITATION: ENGINEERING TALENT SHORTAGE The U.S. semiconductor industry alone needs over 160,000 engineers by 2032, driven by $250B+ in new investments. Demand for AI experts has skyrocketed, with Elon calling the talent war the "craziest" ever. Meanwhile, STEM programs struggle to produce enough graduates. This shortage threatens innovation, from AI to semiconductors, slowing progress and global competitiveness. Expanding STEM education, streamlining high-skilled immigration, and reskilling workers are urgent solutions. Investing in talent is investing in the future. Source: Yahoo, Mckinsey

OpenAI’s new o3 model is better at writing code than most programmers, probably true, but I don’t think it’s a better developer per se. Development involves a lot more than just writing code. 👨🏻‍💻

@NateSilver538 You should stay in your lane and don't use other countries you know nothing about for your engagement farming.

Uhhhhh a NATO country nullifying an election because of alleged disinformation seems really bad. Lot of horseshoe theory between the disinformation people and the authoritarians. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

@DanDavisWrites He's about to drop his latest power metal album "The Lord of Flint"

I think it's worth remembering that many ancient populations had features we would consider slightly unusual. Even post-glacial European foragers still could have somewhat "archaic" features for example in their very pronounced mandibles and zygomatic bones. Handsome chap.

@Wokker19 @KevlinHenney It's not a @KevlinHenney if it's deliberate. Look at the print on his hoodie. Pretty sure this is @masterbootrec

@davefarley77 Mobile phones. The number of computer / internet users increased something like a factor 10, keeping the demand for developers high for over 20 years.

What is the biggest technology leap that's helped developers since the turn of the millennium?

@Grady_Booch It has always been like this. In college, the material to read for the first exam, a couple of weeks into the first year, was a lot more than all of high school combined, and this was ... a while ago.

@gunnarmorling If you're writing Java, the question shouldn't come up very often. Most private methods I see in code reviews should really be package private, but the developer made it private because they think a method without access modifier doesn't look right.

I'm really struggling with the "testing private methods is a smell" school of thought. Modules, classes, methods-- these all are essentially means of decomposing a code base into smaller parts. Why should it be ok to test some of them in isolation, but not others?

@jelmer1980 @Bennytouzine I love it when a show comes together

@Bennytouzine I pitty the fool that’s not a swiftie

@ryanels Today you can run the Microsoft OpenJDK build in a VM running the Microsoft AzureLinux distro, and this isn't an early 2000s April fools headline on Slashdot

Linus Torvalds 🤔

@newscientist Was this some kind of challenge to ChatGPT to get it to write the absolute dumbest clickbait headline ever posted on the internet? There's some stiff competition, but it made a good effort.

@davefarley77 Income. In Europe, "computers" is just another office job.

I'm doing some research for a video... In your experience, what is the difference between US developers & European developers?
