Eine dunkle Aufnahme zeigt eine Bühnenaufstellung vor einem Publikum. In der Mitte überragt eine große, helle Bühnenkonstruktion die Aufstellung. Die Konstruktion besteht aus einem Winkel aus Lichtstrahlen, die von einer schräg verlaufenden Basis ausgehen. Am unteren Ende dieser Basis steht eine Reihe von sechs Ständern mit violetten und weißen Lichtern, die in der Dunkelheit leuchten. Eine Menschenmenge ist vor der Bühne zu sehen, und das Bild ist dunkel, wobei der Fokus auf der beleuchteten Bühnenkonstruktion liegt.

Ein Bühnenbild mit einer Menge von silhouettierten Personen im Hintergrund. Vier weiße, stilistische Figuren stehen nebeneinander auf der Bühne. Unterhalb jeder Figur befindet sich ein leuchtendes rotes Objekt, das wie ein Podest aussieht. Unter den Figuren befindet sich ein weiteres rotes horizontales Leuchtobjekt, das die Breite der vier Figuren erstreckt. Die Menge ist dicht gedrängt und ihre Umrisse sind kaum zu erkennen.
―
Ein horizontales, rechteckiges Lichtsignal ist in einem dunklen Raum zu sehen. Das Licht ist rot. Das Lichtsignal besteht aus vier vertikalen Linien, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind, sowie einer horizontalen Linie, die sich unter ihnen erstreckt. Die vertikalen Linien sind alle gleich hoch und gleichmäßig voneinander entfernt. Die horizontale Linie ist etwas kürzer als die Breite der vertikalen Linien.
―
Das Bild zeigt eine Bühne in der Dunkelheit, beleuchtet von violettem Licht. In der Mitte der Bühne befindet sich eine Weltkugel mit dem Text "KLING KLANG" darüber und "MUSIFILM" darunter. Vor der Kugel stehen mehrere Personen, die in gleicher Höhe zu sehen sind, vermutlich Musiker, die während einer Aufführung beleuchtet werden. Der Hintergrund ist ein dunkler Raum mit einer großen Menschenmenge, die mit ihren Lichtern die Szene umgeben. Der Gesamteindruck ist eine Bühnenaufführung mit einem Weltkugel-Design und einer Menschenmenge im Hintergrund.

As children dream of sugar plums and toy trains, just beyond Earth's orbit and field of view, an enormous intergalactic armada that is poised to invade earth on Christmas Morning, so as the world wakes up to Santa's gifts, these advanced travelers of the stars will lay waste to earth and her people, for not a thing can be done, for we are mere ants on a cosmic scale, and our end will be for our folly of greed;

IBM już ciśnie następną bańkę – jak łatwo się domyślić, komputery kwantowe:

Banieczka ej aj już zaczyna pękać, więc trzeba cisnąć kolejną magiczną technologię, której nikt nie rozumie, ale brzmi fajnie, więc można inwestorów (i rządy) naciągnąć! 🤡
@core15 jest różnica między promowaniem konkretnego produktu na konkretnym rynku, bo produkt jest przydatny w konkretny sposób w konkretnym kontekście, a wciskaniu bajery typu "QUANTUM ZMIENI WSZYSTKO!!1!"
W tym tekście nie ma żadnego konkretu. Zero. Nie ma też informacji o żadnym produkcie. Czysta bajera.
Więc w tym wypadku, w kontekście tego konkretnego tekstu, IBM ciśnie banieczkę.

On the increasing prevalence of #DarkMode in software:
I find “dark mode” themes really unpleasant to use, especially when reading or editing text. I greatly prefer (high contrast) dark foreground/light background.
For context:
- I have pretty much perfect, uncorrected vision
- I use very high quality monitors
Surely I can't be unique? Why has everything started to use “dark mode” by default over the last few years?

If you make a character and plan to post about them, I don't recommend posting a reference sheet unless it's a followup post. Reference sheets are designed specifically to remove all the fun character parts of the character.
At the very least, add the fun character bits in at the edges...
Hey #ttrpg folks: What’s your favorite combat-oriented RPG that’s closer to d&d than warhammer, but does something really interesting with mechanics? Not Pathfinder, please; I already know about it! 🙂
Basically wondering if there’s a fun game mostly about fighting that works well in a video call, without having tooooo many complex rules.
There’s been so much interesting work in the narrative-forward space! But I haven’t heard of something approachable that still has mechanical combat heft

Taking Electronics to a Different Level
One part wants 3.3V logic. Another wants 5V. What do you do? Over on the [Playduino] YouTube channel, there’s a recent video running us through a not-so-recent concern: various approaches to level-shifting.
In the video, the specific voltage domains of 3.3 volts and 5 volts are given, but you can apply the same principles to other voltage domains, such as 1.8 volts, 2.5 volts, or nearly any two levels. Various approaches are discussed depending on whether you are interfacing 5 V to 3.3 V or 3.3 V to 5 V.
The first way to convert 5 V into 3.3 V is to use a voltage divider, made from two resistors. This is a balancing act: if the resistors are too small, the circuit wastes power; if they are too large, they inhibit fast signals.
The second approach to converting 5 V into 3.3 V is to use a bare resistor of at least 10K. This is a controversial approach, but it may work in your situation. The trick is to rely on the voltage drop across the series resistor to either drop enough voltage or limit the current flowing through input protection diodes, which will clamp the voltage but also burn out with too much current flow.
The third approach to converting 5 V into 3.3 V is to use chips from the 74AHC series or 74LVC series, such as inverting or non-inverting buffers. These chips can do the level shifting for you.
The easiest approach for going in the other direction is to simply connect them directly and hope you get lucky! Needless to say, this approach is fraught with peril.
The second approach for converting 3.3 V into 5 V is to make your own inverting or non-inverting buffer using, in this case, an N-channel Enhancement-mode MOSFET. Use one MOSFET for an inverting buffer and two MOSFETs for a non-inverting buffer. Just make sure you pick N-MOSFETs with 3.3 V or 5 V gate drive voltage VGS. Alternatively, you can use a buffer from the 74HCT series.
The video provides a myriad of approaches to level shifting, but you still have to decide. Do you have a favorite approach that wasn’t listed? Have you had good or bad luck with any of the approaches? Let us know in the comments!
