There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

16 cores, 32 threads, 64 GB of memory ... and ChemDraw can't handle a full-page scheme without grinding to a halt. (Can we add a field to the next TRAC survey for 'time spent waiting for expensive but poor software to do its thing'?)

Sometimes my cat will run in circles around my office chair while insistently doing her "follow me" cry, but gets upset if I actually get up, because what I'm SUPPOSED to do is "follow" her by spinning my chair. This will go on for five, six, even ten complete rotations.

UGH 24C (which is a perfectly fine temperature) and 21% relative humidity. We've achieved crossover. (where humidity is lower (percentage vs degrees celsius) than temperature) Wildfires are far more likely and will be far more dangerous if they occur.

You can tell when a software maker has a lot of people in New York instead of, say, California, because their apps won’t assume consistent, good cell phone reception.

It's my favorite section of any used book store - the Games section. Full of unofficial Genesis hint books, 90s PC strategy guides, woefully outdated "parents" guides, and in this case, a few Boss Fight Books books

When you sign up for Bluesky, you’re shown a comic that explains how Bluesky is different and what it has to offer. That comic features a shark, because (at least partly) of me. @davis.social drew it, and today he’s on a shark research cruise with me! I had him sign my print of the comic.

I am not a huge fan of tagging systems but I wouldn’t mind if BlueSky added a “I’m on public transit” tab coupled with a tagging system for stuff that would be uncomfortable to scroll over on public transit.

Anne of Green Gables is loved around the world, but the book is truly beloved in Japan. But why? It all began with a friendship between two women, one of whom escaped the pain and loneliness of the Second World War in Japan by reading about 19th century PEI. 🧵1/12

Curious what the accommodations are like on a research vessel? My mom calls them “a coffin cut into a hole in the wall.” I’m 6 feet tall, and when my feet are touching one wall, there’s about an inch of clearance for my head on the other wall. I always sleep great! Baseball cap for scale.

I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.
