The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.

I've always understood the concept of compilers turning high-level languages into assembly for CPUs to actually execute, but I've never really considered how that sausage is made.

In this video series Pixeled pulls back that curtain and describes the logic and rationale on how compilers are actually created for high-level languages.

This appears to be a variation of the "standwich." Please see the attached for an example.

Watching them do the chair was... terrifying... Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like "Nah, you're fine." I was like "Okay, just please don't steal my teeth 😬"

Ed Currie is actually a mad man.

I don't know how I feel about this personally. On the one hand, I feel like this is a privacy win for those who want it: no watch history means no algorithmic recommendations and (presumably) less data collection for those users. On the other hand, I personally really enjoy the recommendations that YouTube makes for me. Maybe it is the wide variety of content that I watch, but I'm honestly very pleased with the recommendations that YouTube provides. That being said, I feel like the opt-in to algorithmic recommendations is a good thing overall, however I am personally going to leave my watch history enabled.

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I've reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again...

Yes Theory is a larger channel, but I love the positivity they provide. In this video they are able to share a unique experience with Reg and he is so grateful to be able to share the journey. Super cool video, IMO, and would absolutely love to do something like this if given the chance!

This video is a must watch for explaining the fundamental problems of crypto/NFTs.

Warning: it long, like feature movie long, but really informative.

This article is so cringey.

Right off of my last post about Mozambique from Indigo Traveller, this video talks about the lives of those in Appalachia. Very interesting perspective in my opinion, and goes a great way to discuss the struggles faced with regard to education, industry, and life in general in WV, USA.

Indigo Traveller is a great channel who goes to less-travelled parts of the world to shed light on how people live in less fortunate parts of the world.

I love how he is able to cut through politics and other perspectives to show the human element of the situation of the people on the ground of the places he visits. It's refreshing, and haunting, to see the day-to-day struggles of the people interviewed.

I wish that more media was cognizant of the individual struggles of those presented within his videos, and that they would talk about ways to assist the countries and people that are highlighted in Indigo Traveller's travels.
