The absolutely iconic Marshall 'full stack' of two 4x12 cabinets and a big amp head was originally created for Pete Townshend of The Who, and is perhaps one of the most well-known sights in rock and roll. So, I dunno, it's somehow just disappointing to learn that this is his full touring rig today.

Capital D Dems don't have a concept of normal, they just have "what the Rs want but like, 20% more liberal". So with the window dragged several hundred miles in one direction ... sigh.

I’m still using DuckDuckGo but I don’t know why, I fucking hate this thing. I really need to try, I don’t know, Brave search or anything else.

I like apps that are continually asking me to enable their push notifications. Sure I didn’t do it the first hundred times, but maybe if we push the banner now it’ll work!

Good gos they’ve made the Windows post-update OOBE rehash even more fucking obnoxious. It tries to sell me 365 - which I already FUCKING OWN - and repeatedly asks to change my settings.

Facebook app actually decided fuck you, you’re not allowed to hide the Reels tab anymore. The hidden option is grayed out when I hit the drop down.

I have many thoughts, but I’ll start with a simple one: how do I build to Android NDK with these, and who can I ask for help when it invariably explodes? CMake may be painful but at least it’s well documented and supported.

As much as CMake absolutely infuriates me in a hundred different ways, I have to concede it is at least a real functional build system that is fairly complete. This is unlike MSBuild, which is like a parody of a build system meant to mock those foolish enough to depend on it.

So are the capital D Democrats doing anything yet or

I’m management, and we are not venture funded. I can’t take the credit, my cofounder has been the one sharp enough to make this work, but I’m extremely happy where we’ve wound up and how we’ve gotten here.

Honestly, my life in startup land is proving to be much more stable than most of my friends working at large established companies that can supposedly afford to think long term.

Fuck generative AI and all the game developers using it, btw

I finally traded in my iPhone 12, haven’t felt compelled to upgrade at any point but the carrier promotion was solid and I was tired of Lightning cables. Five generations seems to be a nice sweet spot for feeling like a worthwhile upgrade.

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About WASHINGTON—Having thus far caved on eliminating the filibuster, advancing an adequate climate change agenda, and protecting voting rights, congressional Democrats told reporters Wednesday they were si...

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

The stock pickups were unbelievably dark, practically no high end at all. On a 7 especially, you need good high end to cut through and keep things clear. This just sounded like mud.

It plays way better than it has any right to. The stock active pickups are truly awful, I swapped in a set of Duncan JB/Jazz Rails. And restringing it threatened to drive me to madness, but maybe it gets easier.

“I see one is missing a rear wing, did they make contact into T1? I’m concerned the papaya rules were not respected by their previous drivers.”

As I'm coming up on 1000 hours on Hitman World of Assassination, I could really use a new game with the same general vibe. Meaning it's not overly dependent on precision or reaction times, more planning oriented. But not an outright puzzle game. Accepting suggestions.

Well. Parenthood is quite the new adventure I’ve inflicted upon myself.

Should probably clarify I am not the one admitted to said hospital room.

I am currently fascinated by how every single light in this hospital room (5 by my count) brings its own unique flavor of unpleasant depression.

Dude what is happening with Deus Ex, i am so out of this loop

I’m probably going to buy a new iPhone soon, but I hate that I’m doing it. IMO Apple has made nearly everything about the platform and OS worse to use, and fallen far behind Android’s other capabilities. But I see no way to get an Android without welding my data to Google and I just won’t do it.

What was the original purpose of the home grown CRT?

Always found it mind boggling that there were Indians dumb enough to think this fucker would be good for them, or that we’d be classed among the “good immigrants” as if they have any such concept.

You’re a fuckin douchebag Hamid

Awesome to see GN get over this bullshit abuse by the entirely ethics-free assholes at @bloomberg.com

This post is my first bsky bookmark.

Ten Years of D3D12 For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for nearly ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has be...

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.

(And yes it's really been 10 years 👴).
