Excellent. Solidarity with workers asserting their rights against a government all too keen to take them away.

Guess whoโ€™s never beating the โ€œcutie patootieโ€ allegations? Itโ€™s the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides)! It can be found in parts of northern Europe and Asia. In the colder areas of its range, this species hibernates through the winter. To prepare for this long rest, individuals gorge themselves with foodโ€”including insects, fruit, and crustaceans. A raccoon dog can gain up to 50 percent of its weight during this process, and at its peak, an individual can weigh up to 22 lbs (10 kg).

If you are (or more likely know) a U of Toronto undergrad looking for a potentially fun course, there are still seats in CIN 105Y: Introduction to Film Study, which I'll be teaching. Trailer cut by Ganga Rudraiah from some of the films we'll watch. youtube.com/shorts/Dm7I8...

Fading out audio is one of the most CPU-intensive tasks you can possibly do!

Values that get close (but not quite) zero, hit an underflow gap known as "Subnormal" range.

Itโ€™s a mathematical conundrum so tricky, both x86 and ARM made special CPU instructions just to handle it!
