Une jolie pub pour l’espéranto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldiomij296M

Talking to strangers on the internet in Esperanto using the Shavian alphabet and wondering about my life choices.

I thought of a joke!

Two witches chatting:

Witch 1: I caught my neighbour stealing my post.
W2: Did you turn him in to the police?
W1: No, I turned him into a toad.

(ok, it’s not very funny, sorry)

I made the solution a bit less naïve and posted it to Reddit so that I can advertise VkRunner :p https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/a53r6i/2018_day_11_solutions/ebk1x5m/

Today’s #adventofcode is a good day for VkRunner and compute shaders. A really naïve solution runs in 14 seconds on my GPU.

À cause d’une petite confusion avec un ami français, mon plat anglais préféré s’appelle désormais un chapeau de paille et non plus un shepherd’s pie :p

Trying to do #adventofcode in a sort of absurd mix of compute shaders and Python via vkrunner. It sort of worked for part 1 of the first two days but part 2 for both seems harder to parallelise.

Is everybody going to do adventofcode.com tomorrow?

The last Doctor Who seemed like a nice attack on Amazon and Bullshit jobs. But I’m not sure whether they came to the conclusion that “we shouldn’t give jobs to robots so that people can still work” or that “yay, now robots can do all the work we can abandon capitalism and do whatever we want”. Definitely should have been the latter :p

Les #giletsjaunes semblent un peu moins convaincants avec cette statistique triste :/
