the chicken farmer was unimpressed by my midrange offer, but a day of scavenging abandoned data centers didn't yield easy H200s anymore. i would have to rely on his weakness for ray tracing if i wanted to eat meat tonight

just learned python typing invented a new kind of voldemort type, one which when named doesn't actually name it

`float` and `int` are two distinct types

but if you write `x: float` that actually means `x: float | int`. but if you write `x: float | int` that means `x: float | int | int`...

Did you enjoy Blue Prince? Do you feel like being a genuine hero?

Iggy, one of the lead playtesters for Blue Prince, needs a kidney.

Reposting for reach is a great way to help - or, could that be you? Who knows what magic the internet is capable of ✨

Let's try to help connect the dots here!
Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!
All the information is at iggyland.org
