My main computer died while I was on vacation. I had a second computer I was working on water cooling and getting a top 100 in the world rank. But it wasn't ready for sustained usage. Blessing in disguise? I guess now I know the VRAM isn't getting enough cooling.

Most people aren't computer nerds, so they wouldn't have noticed... RAM prices are SKYROCKETING. There is a long story why. But the short version: AI datacenters demand RAM.

I need to change my Visual Studio shortcuts. F10? F11? That shit needs to be F1/F2. Or maybe something better.


JPEG-XL is likely coming to Chrome!! Congrats @jyzg and @jonsneyers groups.google.com/a/chromium.org…


Patting myself on the back here, but I'm proud of the investigation I did here and the solution I came up with. github.com/ProgramMax/Fil…


Aaaaarg. Someone make a motherboard with two temperature sensors already so I can do coolant vs ambient. Actually, heck...maybe I'll just make my own USB device to do it. "Be the change you want to see", right? But the BIOS still won't recognize it. Needs to control fans + pump


The PNG group was rechartered until Nov 21st, 2027!!


If you are at TPAC 2025, come to the PNG meeting on Friday! We have some interesting updates. w3.org/events/meeting…


I am done with a first pass on my slides for Friday's presentation. I am confident I can get buy-in to improve PNG compression. But to REALLY compete, we need lossy PNGs. And I think that will be an uphill battle. programmax.net/talks/png-5th-…


Oh my. First time I've received an email from "GitHub Staff". There is a CVE being filed against libpng. I'm at a conference in Japan where I am giving a presentation. Not a great time to be reviewing patches...

Easiest way to get the Japan-only packaging is to fly to Japan. Obviously.

I need to take more vacations. I got SOOO MUCH programming done while on the plane / during a rest day. I got ~90% done (to launchable) with a compile-time state machine.


I love my @FrameworkPuter. But one thing I didn't anticipate is I've somehow lost my HDMI module.
