Dad mode ENGAGED.

I once prototyped something like this for another media platform upon request. We found that a) users loved it b) content creators hated it.

Yes, but we aren't talking about life critical systems, just mild inconvenience. Undesirable failure modes may be acceptable if the impact of them occurring is less than the impact of mitigating the failure.

Things I say that sound like they don't make sense but they actually do #37

"Wow, that game is very HDR"

Just learnt about 8 years late that Buzz from 3DBuzz - where I learnt 3D modelling in Maya as a teenager - passed away from cancer.

That moment when a can jumps out of the recycling bin like an intersecting object being resolved by a collision system.

I am become dad, vacuumer of cars

YouTube video by Technology Connections The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but you electrician might not know that

It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.

Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).

The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!

Tricky thing would be making sure clients are authentic (and have uncorrupted data) and are just as trustworthy as the authoritative server.

Steampipe indeed uses HTTP, and clients also support diff patching (which has consequences when you build your package if you want to optimise downloads!)

Maybe like losing all the skin and muscle on your foot and walking on your foot bones ?

I dearly hope I can implement this successfully one day 😂

An augmented reality image of a desk with a keyboard and desk mat up against a white wall, with a computer generated image of a monitor overlayed onto it, except the computer monitor is facing downwards towards the desk.

Yeees this is exactly how I would use this product Amazon. No, there is no option to rotate it.

Find a local Swarm Collector If the bees have been identified as honey bees you can enter your postcode to find our nearest volunteer swarm collectors.

Did you know that if you find a swarm of honey bees in the UK you can contact a local beekeeper to come collect them ? Ask me how I know 🤣 www.bbka.org.uk/find-a-local...

Utah teapot - Wikipedia

You might say it's the Utah teapot ... but that's not popped up as often recently in my experience! More of a thing with graphics programmers than modern devs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_te...

A 3D render or two iced donuts, with sprinkles, on a plate which sits on a wood surface. In the background on the surface is a partly out of frame mug, and a white wall

What's the #gamedev version of the Willhelm scream?
I propose it could be ... the Blender tutorial doughnut. www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/bl...

@jamie.laundon.org may disagree with this shirt 😂

An overcast day, a building across a road with floor to roof tinted windows with red window frames, with no visible doors, in the middle a name placard runs the full width of the building with a name reading "Square Root Business Centre".

Now I know where to go any time I need to raise something to the power of 1/2

Actually given the fumes that I'm trying to remove from my house now, it probably has good reason to be.

I learnt: not to put my finger in a running desk fan, and 1/30000th of a second is faster than a goose in a high wind. Whatever that means.

Painting a shelf with biocidal primer sounds like I'm doing something that should be against the Geneva convention.

Donating blood and nurses keep checking on me because I keep spacing out. I've had to explain that's just normal behaviour for me 🤣

I've never quite understood why we use the phrase "meteoric rise to fame". Aren't meteors things that fall out of the sky? Maybe that's the point ...

No I'm just inflating your bandwidth bills 💵

Wait I think that one was for me ...

You'll never get an A in Biology!

UK weather forecast more accurate with Met Office supercomputer Detailed weather forecasts and better predictions about the rain will soon be enjoyed in the UK.

Saying that the Met Office's new weather predicting supercomputer is "cloud based" is a bit ambiguous ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Christ, that was a near miss for the EBU.
