Ok so #graphics folks if you have any references for doing frustum culling with reversed-z (where the frustum is infinite) I'd love to know about them!






> "The design of Romania’s educational system makes it perhaps the most stratified educational system in the world."

Nice quote from an article on education in #Romania that quotes interesting studies, describes factually some dyanamics, but is puzzling and problematic in its logic and, most of all, conclusions.

Vous vous rendez compte que là je vais aller me coucher pour aller travailler demain alors que je pourrais passer la nuit sur ce sympathique (enfin selon moi) dessin d’Hollow Knight destiné à un collègue ? Je dis pas ça pour vous convaincre d’abolir le travail pour me permettre de le finir plus vite mais c’est une idée hein je pose juste ça là comme on dit

J’ai pas pensé à prendre une photo avant d’offrir le dessin terminé donc la seule que j’ai pour vous le montrer c’est celle où l’aquarelle est encore scotchée sur mon carnet. J’espère qu’elle vous plaira malgré tout car ça a été très intéressant à réaliser !

It's hard to overthink when they continually reset my Brain leaving me with memory loss and fleeting thoughts and feelings. Never quite remembering and no one sharing my past. It's quite the Paradox 🧞‍♂️

1. It is hard to understand what “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you” really means. ²This is because it is not understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, and this does not mean anything. ³The word “within” is unnecessary. ⁴The Kingdom of Heaven _is_ you. ⁵What else _but_ you did the Creator create, and what else _but_ you is His Kingdom? ⁶This is the whole message of the Atonement; a message which in its totality

6. No force except your own will is strong enough or worthy enough to guide you. ²In this you are as free as God, and must remain so forever. ³Let us ask the Father in my name to keep you mindful of His Love for you and yours for Him. ⁴He has never failed to answer this request, because it asks only for what He has already willed. ⁵Those who call truly are always

EA: l’anticheat di Battlefield 6 che chiede le chiavi del regno


@Informatica (Italy e non Italy 😁)
Il mondo del gaming si prepara al lancio di Battlefield 6, previsto per il prossimo 6 ottobre, Electronic Arts si trova al centro di un polemico dibattito sulla sicurezza che travalica i confini del gaming per entrare in quelli, ben più spinosi, della privacy e della sicurezza informatica

there is also climate.org which was started in 1986 I think. This is a kinda cool "domain hack" as .us is for anything #UnitedStates related but it also reads as 'us' as in everyone on the planet.

"Across the country, libraries are using culinary programs to evolve beyond traditional book-lending, adapt to users’ needs, and reshape themselves into contemporary centers of community. Events have generally centered on cookbook or food memoir discussions, perhaps sharing dishes connected to the title, but libraries are increasingly expanding this concept."

This toot fosstodon.org/@interlisp/11512… led me via a reference to Edmund C. Berkeley (as coauthor with L. Peter Deutsch of "The LISP Implementation for the PDP-1 Computer", March 1964 and author of "Giant Brains, or Machines that Think", 1949) to the 1950 2-bit relay computer Simon and then to Harry Porter's Relay Computer:

I've never seen such a succinct explanation of a computer.

Margaret Atwood claps back to having The Handmaid’s Tale banned from Alberta schools by the UCP.

It’s so good.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

Terrible picture of this moth, grabbed in the dark undergrowth, but still enough detail in the tail to make a reasonable guess at the ID 🧐

Seems to be a common marble or dark strawberry tortrix (Celypha [Syricoris] lacunana; Gebänderter Wickler in 🇩🇪).

It is indeed a very common moth, including in our garden, but apparently not happy with having macro lenses shoved in their faces 🤷‍♂️
