If I hadn’t rebooked my flight home yesterday on BA instead of Qatar, I would have been stuck in Doha for way longer than I’d feel comfortable…

You spin me right round, baby, right round. Like a record, baby, right round, round, round. Oh wait, wasn't this just a vector editor?

Sneak peek: our #animation editor UI design mockup was recently completed to bring keyframe-based #motiongraphics to Graphite. It will be implemented in the near future! (You can already make math-driven animations with the 'Animation Time' node via the #nodegraph.)

i still get terrified of public speaking. that’s why I don’t like scripting stuff anymore. starts feeling more like a conversation. self-deprecation is also good, but put a cap on it, otherwise it’s annoying (so i think 🥲)

Just realised I’m halfway through my passport in just 3.5 years 🙈 Guess next one should be a maxi passport.

In part 2 of the SIMD blog series, Folkert shows what to do when the compiler can't use the SIMD capabilities of modern CPUs effectively. We end up with a basic, but very effective, example of a custom SIMD implementation beating the compiler. buff.ly/pEAmXBW #rustlang #datacompression #simd

United Airlines tried to block us… We’re famous! 🥳 Pictured: Someone at United Airlines WiFi noticed Obscura and specifically blocked us by SNI hostname. Easily unblocked by spoofing SNI as google.

Hi folks, we've gotten reports that "Strict Leak Protection" can prevent Obscura from reconnecting when your device wakes from sleep. We're looking into this issue urgently, but here are some workarounds (see thread below) 👇 1/4

anyone trying to do provable image transformation as in eprint.iacr.org/2024/1066 in fast proving zkVMs? It’s one of the cases a bunch of time will pass until you need to compress it for fast verification, if at all

I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).
