Windows file system api documentation excerpt about a File Attribute called FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS. It reads: FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS 0x01000000 Access will occur according to POSIX rules. This includes allowing multiple files with names, differing only in case, for file systems that support that naming. Use care when using this option, because files created with this flag may not be accessible by applications that are written for MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows.

Based on my expert knowledge on video production, statistics and time-series prediction (I have seen a video on these topics once), the next video should last 16h 23min and 17 seconds.
A spreadsheet titled "Duration Inference From Correlation of Known Data (DICKD)" The table contains 4 rows, 3 of which are real video length and the 4th one is an exponential extrapolation. Video 1 is 2:02:55, video 2 is 4:06:53, video 3 is 8:11:08 and video 4 is estimated to be 16:23:17. Text within the spreadsheet reads: "Let's ignore the previous videos because it's all outliers (trust me)" "Exponential model because it fits my data and personal expectations"

STOP USING SCREENS 🤬🤬🤬
A meme based on the "Stop using math" template. It reads : STOP USING SCREENS - Computers were not supposed to have screens - YEARS OF UI FRAMEWORKS yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for looking at other things than TEXT - Wanted to look at pictures with it for a laugh? We had a thing for that: it was called "25x80 Monochrome ASCII ART" - "Yes please draw me an HDR, 69 fps mouse pointer. Please make a gradient of a BÉZIER curve in Rec. 2100." - Concepts manufactured by the most Depraved people. LOOK at what User Interface Designers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the Display Servers and GPUs we made for them (this is REAL UI, made by REAL UI Designers): An image of an AutoCAD user interface with way too-many toolbars, with three red interrogation points underneath. An image of a Winamp skin featuring Morbius as the background image, with seven red interrogation points underneath. A schematic of OS X's Aqua drawer panel, with eleven red interrogation points underneath. the text continues: "Hello can I opt-out please?" followed by an image of a dialog box reading: "Are you sure you don't want to not to opt out?" No (in green) Yes (in red). They have played us for absolute fools.

Colored the languages according to my usage/knowledge:
- Lush Green: used actively (2)
- Yellow Green: used sometimes / at least once (12)
- Yellow: I know in which domains it’s used (50)
- Red: heard of it, forgot where it’s used (5)
- Purple: never heard of it (31)
2D chart of programming languages according to their number of tags on Stack Overflow (vertical) and number of projects on GitHub (horizontal). Plotted, the languages form a diagonal from bottom left to top right, showing a correlation between number of tags and number of projects. The more popular the languages get, the more concentrated they are on the plot. At the top right are popular languages like JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP… Coloured mostly green and yellow. At the bottom left are little used languages like GAP, Chapel, Saltstack, Coq… Mostly in yellow and purple. On the middle, middle-left and middle-bottom are most of the other languages, in colors red, green, yellow and purple.

More (Junk O Punk remix) by JunkieXL is such a banger. Bit sad that it is no longer available on streaming platforms for licensing reasons :(
Album cover reading "Junkie XL More EP". The background is grey asphalt with colorful and geometric text in bold painted letters, like they were sprayed on with a stencil.

Who knew making blurry black and white noise was so hard? I spent WAY to much time on this.
A screenshot of a desktop. In the middle, a square window displaying black and white perlin noise, a type of random noise used in texture generation. In the background, a window displaying a command prompt and parameter values of the perlin noise. At the bottom, another window displaying a code editor.

Whenever I go to uni, I wait for a bus at a bus station. There, every day, I hear sequences of beeps. Weird melodies that I can’t find the origin of.
At least I am not crazy because my phone can pick it up to.
A Fourier transform of the ambiant noise at the bus station. The spectrum shows thin strokes along the time axis. They are of consistent length and spacing, both in time and frequency.

The Bass Pro Shop pyramid sits EXACTLY on the straight line going from the North Pole to the South Pole. Moreover, this line is PERFECTLY vertical on map. This can’t be just a coincidence. What cursed secret does this ancient monument hide?

He is just like me 🥲
A screen capture of an article about macOs built-in commands. it reads : "If you are want to keep your Mac from sleeping, you can run caffeinate in the terminal. caffeinate will keep your Mac awake until you stop it, e.g. by pressing Ctrl+C. caffeinate used to be a third-party tool, but it is now built-in to macOS. I use this mostly to prevent my Mac from sleeping when I am running a server."

Edited game jackets of Rayman, Rayman 2, Rayman 3 and Rayman Origins where Rayman, the protagonist, is replaced by stock images of white men of average appearance, in casual or corporate clothing. On the jacket of Rayman Origins, the stock image is of a young boy instead. On each jacket, the title is truncated, reading "man", "man 2", "man 3" and "man Origins".
