Everywhere Vanishing Bean Curvature

Mennonite-raised. I get told "no" a lot. I'm finishing a math degree I started 20 years ago. I pretend to be a maned wolf-shaped tree on the Internet. You've used stuff I've worked on.

Trans rights are human rights.

I'm @nrr1.618033989 on Signal.
I'm presently in possession of the NOC list. Or am I?

It could just be a little sleight of hand.

In the background, my old and busted laptop. In the foreground, the new and improved.

(This is where I discovered that the cropping tool built into the Bluesky app is busted.)

That'd be the Itanium (and Itanium 2).

Though, neat fun fact: VR adoption looks kinda similar!

The abbreviation is silly, but I wish we had these on Caltrain. (To the best of my knowledge, we don't?)

The idea is that you use measuring equipment to determine which wheels have flat spots so they can be more easily spotted and addressed.

For the English, see below.

He just jumped up here, flopped like this, and promptly conked out. He went straight to dreaming, no joke.

If anyone has ever wondered what it's like to be a cat bed, ask me anything.

You only wish you were this respectable.

I really appreciate how prescient the 1979 Ridley Scott film Alien was when it came to the idea of having a keyboard with a bunch of funny buttons.

You can't hear it, but he's snoring here.

I'd say that things are pretty much back to normal for him.

If you want to take a crack at something that better approximates the C#, try this on for size. I'm all thumbs when it comes to modern C++ (and C++ metaprogramming), but this compiles and runs against cl.exe just fine.

It's just so easy to rob yourself of footguns like this.

Wherein his timing is impeccable. I have to pee.

There's a degree of pain I endured to get this photo. If you've ever been licked by a cheetah or other big-ish cat, you'll understand what I mean.

Valérian has licked me raw more than once so far. It's like if a carnivore had a radula.

I let him know, but all I got was the girl talking to me instead (she already knows she's cute). I'll try again later.

I've been tearing apart ancient releases of NT, and we really must return to antiquity here. What we're doing isn't working.
