Updating wording guide:
Guys -> Folks
Fireman -> Firefighter (more descriptive!)
Fireman -> Arsonist (the other kind!)
Policeman -> Police officer
Manpower -> Staffing
Headcount -> Staff allocation
Master (branch) -> Main (codeine; fewer letters too!)
It's not hard. Just takes awareness.

Sweet Jesus no it is not.
Slang is NOT the official future language of Khronos.
I told them again and again people would assume that.
None of this is your fault, dear friends and readers.
Hey @nprofile…z4x5 take note.

It's a move-to-front heuristic. Great when you don't want to fuss with a lot of bookkeeping, or you have unpredictable access patterns.

Have you met EDI and their virtual private networks where every message must be paid for, and every "standard" message format is customized by everyone?

I wrote a post about the three ways to declare pure values in WGSL: const, override, and let.

I actually wrote most of this in 2023...

Canadian here. Yes the US system is ... bonkers.
(Mind you the Canadian Rx system is historically not all that different.)
I hear Cost Plus Drugs is the way to go for US prescriptions. Genuinely good thing by Mark Cuban.

That's whack. I love it.
I spent a few years trying to do theory of computing stuff. I never did anything new, but I am conversant. A spectator, if you will.

At my 20th wedding anniversary dinner we tried to name a significant thing in our lives from each year of our marriage. I had a hard time and missed a few. Made me sad to feel life slipped away so easily.
OTOH, upon hearing a song fragment I can often pin it to its year. Drives my kids bananas, but makes me feel good.

Everybody loves that.

Legitimacy crisis, basically.
I'm gonna lean on the "Serious trouble" podcast and see what they have to say. Ken White is pretty level headed.
Happy for now that I'm a Canadian in Canada.

NEWS FROM CANADA
'It turned out that the pigs were very good at surviving Canadian winters."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/super-pig-saskatchewan-problem-1.7037360
It's framed as a Canada to US problem but the wild pigs are already endemic to several regions in the US.
