We used deterministic game play to implement multiplayer on the GB Color port of Vigilante 8. The GBC Link Cable would pass 1 byte in each direction at the same time. It's a pair o…

The Scotland link in the grandparent post is to a picture of 2 people, 1 white, 1 black. 1 is not large numbers. Look, Gemini is clearly doing some weird stuff. But going all "look…

But also misinterpretations of what the history is. As I write this there's someone laughing at an image of black people in Scotland in the 1800s[1]. Sure, there's a discussion tha…

"It’s often assumed that African people arrived in Scotland in the 18th century, or even later. But in fact Africans were resident in Scotland much earlier, and in the early 16th c…

Nope. https://www.signingsavvy.com/article/45/The+difference+betwe... Here's a fun example. ASL allows, maybe even requires, negation after the statement. An interpreter friend of …

I find the USB-C headaches worse. With a bag of cables if the cable fits[1] it works to the full capability of the device. If I'm traveling and forgot something I can expect that t…
