I wonder if they need my help debugging this ✨ in production ✨

Airline website is misbehaving. Called them on the phone and they are also having issues on a specific trip leg. The support person is now calling their support to figure out what is wrong.

Support inception.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Apenas para deixar claro: a Direita votou CONTRA o projeto que aumentava o imposto de bets (que pagam MENOS do que minha empresa paga de imposto), fintechs (que pagam menos que bancos) etc.

A Direita serve pra defender os ricos e os rentistas. Não tem nada a ver com “liberdade econômica”.

What is the point of an app with the boarding pass if you have to use the physical one for boarding?

Welp, time to fix some typos I guess. 3h to kill, here we go. Thanks Swiss.

Ricardo (Bug) @rgsilva.com · 8d

First time flying Swiss:

1. Boarding pass issues
2. More boarding pass issues
3. Overbooking issues

Guess I'm sticking with my trusty Lufthansa next time then. Yikes.

Preparing a code demo on the PS2:

Attempt 1: runs 4 times and then crashes the emulator.
Attempt 2: runs 9 times and then hangs.

I mean.. it's an improvement, isn't it? 😅

Spoilers: this is using TinyGo.

Me: ok, set X to 123.
PS2: sure thing!
Me: now tell me the value of X.

PS2: EE Exception handler: TLB load/inst fetch exception

Eu acho que sim hein! Não cheguei a testar, mas é sempre uma opção se tu usa um roteador que suporta isso nativamente pra casa toda. Caiu o link principal, conecta o celular via USB nele e usa como WAN.

Mas é um caso de uso bem menos comum eu diria hehehe

Ricardo (Bug) @rgsilva.com · Sep 11

E o melhor é que tem esses "roteadores de viagem" (basicamente OpenWRT) que permitem tu conectar o celular via USB neles assim. Daí eles viram roteador, fazem parte de VPN e o diabo pra ti se quiser. E, de brinde, ainda (provavelmente) carregam (bem lentamente) o celular :D

Este também é um ótimo lembrete de que vamos falar sobre esse projeto na @gambiconf.dev este ano!

Se @tinygo.org, embarcados, videogames ou simplesmente gambiarras malucas de muitos finais de semana te interessam, junte-se a nós para um dos eventos mais divertidos do ano!

Tela falando sobre o palestrante. Contém a foto do palestrante, seguido do nome "Ricardo Gomes" e o título da palestra "Go no PlayStation 2: como virar um péssimo dev de jogos". Contém também a lista de parceiros e a data e local do evento (29 de novembro na TOTVS em São Paulo).

This is also a great reminder that I'll be talking about this project at @golab.io this year! So if you'd like to know more about how to hack @tinygo.org to work on a PS2, join us there for this madness!

Ok, it's finally up: part 3 of my crazy project to get @tinygo.org to work on the PlayStation 2.

This time I think I finally solved the int64 and float64 bugs. Well, I hope so at least!

rgsilva.com/blog/ps2-go-...

And, yes, the source code and hacks are finally public on GitHub!

Golang on the PlayStation 2 (part 3)

In this part we’ll dive into LLVM hell to solve some bugs, hopefully making things smoother to work with from now on. And hey, the source code is finally available to the public!
