Fog cover coming in over the Bay; Hyde street, Alcatraz, Angel Island and Belevedere, Ghiradelli sign, Golden Gate bridge in the distance. Francisco Park was the site of one of the first (if not the first) reservoirs in the City built in the mid-1800s; its now a really nice park with a great dog run on Bay street below.

Do you like to #doodle ? Want to use/try something totally different than pencil on paper?

I came across an email reminder I sent myself in 2011, and although the link is redirected to its new home, #HarmonyR9 is still ready for users.

If you're familiar with #DoctorDobbsJournal and the hundreds of #digital #programming #experiments they published in print - and also made available on #DataCD , this is my favorite #RetroComputing creative graphics tool.

🚨 Breaking news: #Python, the high-level language that won't let you manually micromanage CPU cache like a real programmer with C or Rust, is still sensitive to CPU caching! 🎉 In a 12-minute marathon of "experiments," we learn absolutely nothing new, except that Python isn't the best for cache-aware #programming. 🙄 Who knew?

lukasatkinson.deIs Python Code Sensitive to CPU Caching? | Lukas Atkinson

Experimented yesterday with Fedora’s KDE spin… I was shocked by the level of accessibility, although it wasn’t perfect. My primary issues with it were that I had to use a lot of Orca’s navigation commands to read panels in the systems settings app, and I had major issues with Konsole, the default terminal app. I wasn’t able to read any of the information in that particular apps interface using Orca. I also tried the Fedora workstation edition, which uses Gnome as it’s a desktop environment. Let’s just say that was not worth my time. Had accessibility issues there as well, and surprisingly it was worse than the experience I had with KDE. I know KDE defaults to Wayland, as does Gnome, but KDE’s accessibility implementation seems to be a lot better than what Gnome has under Wayland, with the exceptions I’ve previously mentioned. Incidentally, the X 11 experience with Gnome is actually worse now than it was previously. For example, the terminal app does not even open for me. I should also note that all this is under Fedora 41, so people aren’t confused. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #Experiments #Linux #Fedora41 #KDePlasma #Gnome #Wayland #X11

Currently reading "Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion" again and I'm always astonished about how extreme the "Shockbox Experiments" by Stanley Milgram seemingly forced normal everyday people to torture or even kill other normal people just because they've been told to by authority. Even if the authority is fake.

"You can refuse orders" really is something to keep in mind.
