LiveJournal reminds me of traumatic past, so here is the gift from 2012 when my shitty Landlord's cheap workmanship flooded my flat for the next year until I left. https://oh.mg/b/1hB

@lyse not normal, last time there was this much was 10 years ago. Highway got shut down back then, with people stuck, remember a colleague of mine who got stuck on his way home after work and was still stuck the next morning on highway. The amount of snow we got this time was a bit shocking, schools has been closed for 3 days (but open tomorrow), all public transport got shut down yesterday (but running again now).
The good Samaritan @stigatle, very nice! :-) Wow, just wow. This is absolutely insane. Two meters of snow. I never experienced anything close to this myself. Not a single time. Maybe at the very most a meter at a trip with the scouts. Is this a somewhat normal amount of snow in your region? Now just relax. :-)
Helped pur neighbour today, climbed over to them from second floor, and dug down to the veranda door from roof height, so now they can look out their windows again :) over the weekend I have to get rid of all the snow on our terrace, almost 2 meters there now. But it has stopped snowing now, so its nice to get a break after this.
Pinellas County - Easy: 4.07 miles, 00:09:24 average pace, 00:38:18 duration went off a bit fast at the start. lots of strong wind gusts (mostly headwind and crosswind). glad i forced myself to get out. #running

These are some very nice shots from summer and autumn 2023, @win0err! No surprise, the sun shining through the trees and the sunset are my absolute favorites in this series. :-)
You know this thing when you press a key and it appears at once, and when you keep the key pressed there’s a short delay and then the key repeats? That happens on DOS, too, and it’s unsuitable for games. What you want for a game is something like a “key event” (i.e., “key A has been pressed now” and “key A has been released now”). DOS doesn’t provide an API for that.
For very simple games, you can ask the BIOS about the state of the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys:
You only need to go left or right in this game, or activate a lift. The two Shift keys and Ctrl are used for that. I always wondered why this game uses such weird keys instead of the cursor keys – now I know. 😅
For more elaborate games, you need to write your own handler for hardware IRQ 1. 😀 Then you get to see all the key presses and releases. That’s the method I’m using now.

Little Snitch 👈 This little nice macOS App is really cool 👌 @markwylde introduced it to me years ago, and I've finally installed it in "Demo" mode for the last ~24 hrs and it's so great 😅 Check this out: -- There are connections made by some apps like Plex Amp that I wasn't aware of, which I've know subsequently blocked. Like pubsub.plex.tv wtf/! 😱~

It’s easy to port the example code to DOS, but that’s not the interesting part. I’m taking the time to really understand the math behind it (the tutorial is pretty vague at times) and I’m writing it down in LaTeX. Yay, finally some TeX again! 😃

@prologic What I also meant: I hope this knowledge doesn’t get lost completely. I believe that we can learn a lot from these simpler times. (I don’t want to imagine how it must be for younger folks who grow up with the mindset of “there’s a framework for everything”. 😱)

I am thinking about setting up a yarn instance. Twtxt is cool but it would be nice to be able to post from my phone. Local posting would be a cool feature for yarn to have. A feed that can only be viewed by logged in users of that instance.
[M [03;03;03]: 90' run](https://staystrong.run/user/bmallred/activity/7074c5f7-5d5d-4745-9954-50e9923ec14c): 10.02 miles, 00:08:17 average pace, 01:22:59 duration something just clicked on this run. even the faster portions didn't seem like i was pushing too hard. i was highly aware of form, effort, breathing, and niggles. only thing i wasn't aware of was my left bloody nip until i was in the shower! #running

One car was parked half way into garage yesterday, and ownervwnt on vacation, and now snow cannot be cleared because they cannot get past the car (dead end street). So the owner fucked up for everyone here. No one can get anywhere. Pisses me off.

OH MY FREAKING HECK. So.. I made my pather able to run as Dijkstra or A* if the interface includes a heuristic.. when i tried without the heuristic it finished faster :|

i am wondering if maybe i need a better heap like a btree backed one instead of just list sort on Dequeue.
I found a bug where i didnt include an open/closed list that seemed to shave off a little. right now it runs in about 70 seconds on my machine.. it takes over the 300s limit when it runs on the testrunner on the same box.. docker must be restricting resources for it.
I might come back to it after i work through improving my code for day 23. Its similar but looking for the longest path instead of shortest.
