I’ve made less money this year than I have since my first year working in tech 11years ago.

But I still maintain that working for myself has been the biggest/best accessibility accommodation I’ve made for myself.

Est-ce qu'il existe des magasins physiques en France, où on peut essayer des stim toys / fidgets ou tout autre objet d'autostimulation ?

Plus particulièrement, les bagues tournantes :)

14 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy -- Armed troops outside TX Texas capitol's building women's rooms now checking ID under new bathroom ban (the ban has no ID requirement). 6W Project tested & found 2 trans women with female ID still allowed in, & no consistent enforcement mechanism.

Enforcement of Texas’ bathroom...

Enforcement of Texas’ “bathroom bill” draws challenges as colleges, cities implement new policies

In its first week, one group’s test of the new restrictions was met with ID checks at women’s restrooms at the Capitol while the Austin City Council moved to circumvent the law's intent.

Rebel against the brain worms! You don't have to be painting the Mona Lisa to be making art, and you don't have to be famous to be an artist 🎨

Are you scribbling on a post-it note? You're an artist! Did you drop a can of paint and it made a cool splat pattern? That's art! 💕

Humanity is defined (in part) by it's ability to create and enjoy art, gatekeeping that behind "I'm not good enough" or "it's not creative though, I'm just having fun" helps nobody.

Make a clay snake! Straighten out a pack of paperclips and solder them into a zig-zag! Use a candy cane as a plectrum to play Christmas songs! Stand on your head in public! Cook the tallest lasagna you can fit in your oven!

We're all artists and life is art 💖

With the emergence of more processors with 64 cores or more, I'm thinking more about whether it makes sense to implement a hypercube virtualised on a single chip with a single vector of memory, or as a literal hypercube of 64 (say) RP2350s. I understand the problems of transferring data across a hypercube, but I don't have a good feeling of how the bus contention on a multicore processor scales. What should I read?

@MrBerard #CompSci teachers/ students should enjoy this!

FWIW, in 1980 I wrote a process monitoring system on an Apple ][e, which had to alarm when readings when out of range. The customer was sceptical that the alarm would be loud enough. Filled the screen with flashing characters, and sent repeated <ctrl>g's to the (Epson LX100) printer used for logging.
They agreed it was impossible to ignore.

Reminded (thanks @eyesquash ) of this @dylanbeattie presentation, which makes the details of unicode text encoding *far* more interesting and fun than it has any right to be.

As Andy points out, there is no "social credit score" in China - even the liars in the West claiming there is, admit it isn't true deep in their articles they know most people will never read
