I got pissed at Chrome the other day. This is not the first user-hostile thing Chrome did ā off the top of my head, I remember the updater fiasco from some years ago, and the more recent auto-installation of a 4GB file ā but as youāll see, this one is squarely in my wheelhouse. The transgression: Chrome took over a...

It's 9:28am and 101Ā° already. They say it could hit 115Ā° by 4:00pm, that's 46.1Ā° Celsius for non-Americans. Desert life
Hereās a plea ā will someone who knows someone who sleeps with someone who works with someone who can fund an animated series, please put the relevant person or persons in front of Samurai Frog Golf. I have no idea why this awesome piece of animation hasnāt garnered millions of hits, but I guess I would have to ask...
OCaml is a pragmatic functional language. You can do very advanced things with its type system (like an entire roguelike), and you can also hide the traditional buffer management techniques of C behind a nice abstract interface. One of those techniques stopped being safe when OCaml became multicore; I've hit it in...
