In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”

The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

She was sent to jail. web.archive.org/web/2021031514

Calling python functions from a c program feels weird, but man trying to set up the environment has been annoying. For some reason I have to manually add all the paths, and that doesn’t work perfectly. Oh well

Running Xonotic, glmark2, and eglgears at the same time!!

My 🦀 Linux kernel driver now supports the M2!! And it works out of the box with Alyssa's Mesa driver, no userspace changes needed~!!

"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

I'm sorry, WTF #Python ??

>>> [round(x) for x in (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5)]
[0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6]

Why would you round toward the even choice? That makes no sense to me.

For reference, round() in #C chooses the away-from-zero rounding, so you get [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] with the same input.

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

I thought over the next few days/weeks, I'd drop my #maker #projects here so here is one I'm posting - it's a #glove I made that scans a #colour, (with a color sensor) then sends the #HEX to your #computer, and to a little #OLED, while #WS2812s #RGB #LEDs show the colour.

I’m getting an unreasonable amount of enjoyment out of this early holiday present I got for myself. (From traintrackr.io, which I believe is having a sale.)
