Human beings are not proscriptive. A “gay” “man” is a human being with biological characteristics typical of human males, who acts in a manner society describes as masculine, and who feels attraction towards similar sexes and genders of people.

If that person is forced into sex with a person they don’t feel desire for, I dunno, that’s some kind of thought-experiment rape. If a “gay” “man” has sex with a “lesbian” “woman” and it’s consensual for both of them then they are both, by a descriptive measure of what acts have occurred, bisexual people, who have just engaged in heterosexual coitus.

That’s assuming that both of them have engaged in homosexual acts before of course. By the nature of this thought experiment, they both could be people who self-describe as such without actually having done it.

They are free to consider themselves whatever they want, because self-descriptions of people are always based more on aspirations and desires than facts. Lots of billionaires consider themselves good humanitarians, and lots of straight people have suppressed homosexual desires. People are complex, contradictory, and our language falls behind in accurately describing reality.

Ooh, I’d been looking at wasmer but wasmtime looks easier and more appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion!

Also wow, a D programmer in the wild! I used to really like that language before I got into Rust (my beloved).

OK, now I understand! And I get why they say the code isn’t human readable, haha. Thanks for taking time to explain!

So similar to how WINE works then? This is taking the MM binary and building a wrapper around it that translates it’s system calls into something generic?

Literally have a dozen other tabs open about how to embed a WASM engine into my Rust game. At least I’m not (currently, at this time, right now) writing my own language or trying to embed a prolog engine.

Yeah, I just took a phone screenshot off Instagram, which is where he hosts the comic. So it picked up some UI crud. I hate IG, no way to download photos to your phone, among many other flaws.

Without pointless censorship: (did you know you can fucking cuss all goddamn day on Lemmy?)

How i feel about self-censorship to appease corporate social media:

The YouTube algorithm has been real weird lately. It suggested a video to me and I had no idea why until now. I watch a lot of Doom stuff, so it wasn’t off base, I just didn’t have context for it.

It’s Coincident (the streamer this is about) commenting over a “lost” demo of Okuplok playing the map themselves. Spoiler: they do not finish it! But it was neat hearing Coincident discuss his own strategies for the map in comparison to how the creator (allegedly) approached it.

I’ll have to watch the actual stream now I guess!

Physically Based Rendering (the freely available book) won its authors a special Academy award in 2014. That book is still the teaching standard for ray tracing so far as I know. In the intro, they discuss Pixar adding ray tracing (based on pbrt) to their RenderMan software in the early 2000s.

A Bugs Life and TS2 could have benefit from some of that, but I’d guess Monsters Inc was the first full outing for it, and certainly by Nemo they must have been doing mostly ray tracing.

I used to work in a computer lab, open plan, where we all had CRTs. I sat across from the main DB admin, who had TWO monitors for all the work he was doing (wild stuff to have dual CRTs back in those days.) Due to the layout, my monitor sat in-between his, facing the opposite way of course. I loved degaussing my monitor because:

1. It would degauss both of his and
2. The EM fields were so strong between them that my monitor’s image would flip entirely upside down before snapping back into frame while making just the craziest electronic noises, colors dancing all over the screen. Gorgeous stuff! I wonder if anyone has tried to recreate a degaussing effect using shaders to simulate the process?

Yeah, I’ve been really impressed with Gloomwood but I am already tired of the fishery (level 1) and wish the EA would come with a jump-ahead feature. It’s looking to be a very good game on release, I’m quite excited for it.

import birthday;

let myAge1 = 4;
let sisterAge1 = 2;
let myAge2 = 44;

let sisterAge2 = birthday.deriveAge(myAge1, sisterAge1, myAge2);

print(sisterAge2);

Any bugs should be reported upstream. Please open a tracking issue to sync changes with eventual upstream fixes.

Casualy sliding this out of my pocket like, no way bro, i always keep that thang on me!

What if I told you that there are roughly 4 million steamdecks in existence. Ref

And that this is about 1\3 of the Steam Linux market. Ref and about half of the entire handheld PC market. Ref

Of course, we dont know how many MAU GOG has so maybe 4 million new customers is baby numbers, but Steam seems enamored enough of that market segment to commit huge new UI and store features (deck verification, “Runs on Deck” filters, other deck specific stuff) including the game controller mappings which do help with non-deck also but were clearly a necessary element for handhelds. Maybe deck users, it being a committed gaming platform, spend more on games?

Anyway, trying to get subscribers (always a teeny fraction of your free users) ahead of converting new non-customers into customers, seems like bad econ to me.

If GOG is so hot for game preservation why not see if they can score an emulation deal to bring lost handheld titles to PC\deck? Sega might be down, NeoGeo is owned by the Saudi’s, I’m sure they’d love some free money for their back catalog. That’s in line with Lutris’ mission of being the one game launcher for your entire library. A few strategic investments and partnerships could open up GOG as the gateway to classic gaming across devices, but that would require some vision to carry through.

Props for #2 being a #2, but of these I usually go for 6. My personal favorite though is Pentel twist erase.

Though all the kuru toga enthusiasts here have convinced me to give them a try.

I also buy 5s in bulk, those shitty bic pencils are the “little brother” option when my D&D players forget their own writing instruments.

Folks seem awfully confident in their ability to encode other things with only a single letter, but who said you get spaces or other seperators?

I’ll take A, so I can express how i feel everyday now:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOU’LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP ME HEARTY! THE MATES AND I ARE RAIDING 7\11 AT DAWN FOR CANDY AND SODA! ARRRRRRRRRRRR(oooooooooo)!

I’ve been hoping to save this one next time I saw it. So… thanks!

Oh don’t worry, I get myself involved in plenty. I prefer to make problems at the architectural or “leadership” level though.
