A funny cooking scene from Ousama Ranking:

Yes, bad cooking resulting in a purple goo is an old #anime trope, but it always makes me smile when people force themselves to eat it... but after the first spoonful they can't conceal their disgusted reactions! 😄

Actually, the version of Samurai Shodown which I played a lot as a kid was this one:

With Google Translate's aid, I figure that it's written 「いざ、尋常に勝負」, literally: "let's, common/normal match".

And this is where I heard this sentence countless times: before every match in my favorite fighting game Samurai Shodown!

In an episode of Hanyou no Yashahime, right before a fight, Towa says: "iza, jinjou-ni shoubu!"

And it rang a bell. Where have I heard this sentence over and over again?

The English subs liberally translate it to "Let's make it a fair fight!", but it must be some set expression...

#vegan paleo? Now it's a thing.

I don't share the core beliefs of the paleo diet, but reducing carbs is probably good for most people.

If the "PC-xxxx" rating was supposed to reflect the actual memory bandwidth in MB/s, where does the DDR5 speedup come from? Maybe lower latency for scattered memory access?

DDR5 gives some performance improvement over DDR5 even at the same speed rating:

I hate pumpkin pies, but pecans pies are irresistible... 🤤

(they're also a calorie bomb, beware!)

Landed! I'm spending this Thanksgiving with some good friends who live in the Bay Area, all ex-coworkers.

Google was like an extended family to me, and I'm staying in touch with Googlers from all the teams and offices where I worked over the past 10 years 🥲

LAX 🛫🛬 SFO

The airport shuttle was a few minutes late, and has a few passengers.

Next, I have to take the LAX airport shuttle. It's every 10 minutes, and also free.

First time I take the bus in #LA. It was on time, free of charge, clean and... completely empty! 😲

Like most people, I believed that the energy used by an electric circuit flowed within the conductors (or at least on their surface, due to the skin effect).

But that's a misconception, and anyone who learned Maxwell's equations in school already has the key to guess why:

Hey, it seems I gave up too fast!

My semantic completions were already in the menu, just BELOW the useless snippets...

I guess I just I need to tweak my config to reorder them... and also use TAB to complete (instead of Enter)...

...and also figure out how to theme the menu so I don't get flashes of shocking pink while I'm trying to focus on the code 😂
