Why do people react to the music harmony, feel emotions? I understand the melody; it kind of part of language. But harmony is usually three tones we don’t have analogs in nature; it is based on harmonics but feels like this explanation is far-fetched.

Is the code generated with the help of Copilot public domain? Similarly, how is it with image generation?

I kind of likin' here; I’ll keep gushing on blue pills, but sometimes it sucks.

What if we do compute-intensive tasks on the orbit: mining bitcoin, protein folding, training AI? There is plenty of sunlight = plenty of electricity.

If flat-earthers exist, I wonder if flat-Marsians also exist.

Tim Sweeney is undoubtedly a genius and still I wish he would be able to see the feature and implement the serialization part of Unreal Engine in modern C++. I am completely lost on how FScriptMap is implemented.

I am wondering how many people instantly know it is safe to go in the water where a Tesla car is submerged. You will not be shocked by the battery. Initially, I thought it was obvious for people, but now I have second thoughts. So it is not going to shock you even if the terminal…

Remember, Singapore is not China. China cannot control TikTok because it is a Singaporean company with a Singaporean CEO.

I don’t remember if I told you already, one of my first programming books was BASIC Reference in Italian. BTW, I did not speak Italian; also, I did not speak English either.

It does not matter which way we move the hands of the clock: one hour forward or one hour back. But every time for a couple of days, I feel like a zombie.

There is a quite effective metric in UI design: the number of mouse clicks to achieve the task. Less mouse clicks are better. For example, selection from radio buttons takes one mouse click; selection from a combo box takes two clicks. So radio buttons are better in sacrifice for…

Why do people call table salt sodium? It is not; it is sodium chloride.

Game Idea: weed farm simulator. I don’t think it would fly though.

YouTube changed. Objectively, I click away from the video way more often than I used to do. I did a spot check for 5, 6, and 7-year-old videos; watched them from start to finish with no problems. Good for me though, less distractions.

About a year ago, I bought 20 64GB USB flash drives for $150. It was a terrible deal in any terms; my thinking was that I could backup data and use the sharpie to mark the disks. What I learned is that they are very slow; it took about 8 hours to transfer data. So, they were sitt…

KDE Plasma desktop clipboard is persistent with the laptop reboots; imagine my surprise when I pasted the text after I rebooted my laptop.

Long COVID - still have it. I had a grace period for two months last year, November and December - no symptoms. Symptoms came back - a little. But today, full power: chest pain and phantom tobacco smell. And I cannot do anything; it just stays here, no matter what I do. I can mak…

I use so much ChatGPT that I realized I have a hard time using Google now. On one of the tasks, ChatGPT failed miserably; so I tried to Google and couldn’t switch my brain to the googling mode, you know that alien way to make queries: ‘ue5 transparency tutorial’.

Google needs to work a little on YouTube Music: polish up the look and feel, make replay and shuffle less buggy, and the most important thing is to make the volume button logarithmic.

Maybe we should get back to the origin of the Internet, where it had a decentralized nature and everyone had their own cute website hosted on their personal PC?

Government, CEOs, CTOs, lawyers, directors, corporations and worried moms: can you just allow players to play great games? And game developers make great games? Am I asking for too much?
