Being autistic feels like having to emulate brain hardware that most other people have. Being allistic is like having a social chip in the brain that handles converting thoughts into social communication and vice versa while being autistic is like using the CPU to essentially emulate what that social chip does in allistic people.

Skip this paragraph if you know about video codec hardware on GPUs. Similarly, some computers have hardware chips specifically meant for encoding and decoding specific video formats like H.264 (usually located in the GPU), while other computers might not have those chips built in meaning that encoding and decoding videos must be done “by hand” on the CPU. That means it usually takes longer but is also usually more configurable, meaning that the output quality of the CPU method can sometimes surpass the hardware chip’s output quality depending on the settings set for the CPU encoding.

In conclusion, video codec encoding and decoding for computers is to social encoding and decoding for autistic/allistic people.

Loving Travis

For most of my open-source software projects, I use the Actions platform built into GitHub for CI (continuous integration). GitHub Actions provides virtual machines to run workflows, so I don't have to administer build environments for Linux, MacOS, Windows, and so on. It's modern, convenient (if you use GitHub instead of, say, GitLab), fairly reliable, and (best of all) free (for public repos).

For me, the main limitation of Actions is that all their hosted runners use the x64 architecture. Sometimes I want to build and/or test on Arm CPUs---for instance my Libbulletjme project, which has a bunch of platform-sensitive C++ code.

For Libbulletjme, I still depend on the older TravisCI platform, run by a private firm in Berlin. In addition to a huge selection of build environments based on AMD CPUs, Travis also provides Arm-based Linux environments. (Officially, they're a "beta-stage" feature, but they've been in beta for years.) Like Actions, Travis is also free to open-source projects, though their notion of "open-source" seems a bit stricter than GitHub's.

I mention Travis because my experiments with the Vulkan API exposed a limitation in Libbulletjme, which led me to begin work on a new release of Libbulletjme, which led me to discover an issue with Travis's Arm-based build environments. A recent change to these environments caused all my Arm-based builds to fail. I could only go a bit further with Vulkan before I would have to make hard choices about how to work around the limitations of Libbulletjme v18.5.0 .

At 20:09 hours UTC yesterday (a Sunday), I e-mailed TravisCI customer support and explained my issue. At 12:25 hours UTC today, Travis announced a hotfix to solve my issue. That's pretty good turnaround, for a non-paying customer having issues with a "beta-stage" feature on a summer weekend.

Bottom line: I still love Travis. <3

First Generation iPhone Sells For $63,0000

A factory-sealed, first-generation iPhone sold at auction for $63,356.40, more than 100 times its original price, after a woman was gifted the phone in 2007, but never opened it because she didn’t want to get rid of her other phone. What do you think? “Why? It’s just going to be phased out by the iPhone 2 at auction in a couple years.” Gracie Bolufe, Snake Breeder “To think that phone is so old…

ASKING CODERS OF TUMBLR FOR HELP WITH AN ASSIGNMENT I HAVE DUE TONIGHT

It's been a while since I did this, and those posts don't seem to get a lot of traction, but I have this assignment due at 11:59 tonight and I've worked really hard on it. My code won't register when I'm holding the button down. I made two versions of the Tinkercad circuit, but neither of them will work. The code is the same for both circuits, though.
