Let He Who Is Without Sin #StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch (Season 5, Episode 7) Worf Scorns Risa

Rewatching ST:DS9 A nervous Morn sniffs a flower and presents it to a woman who accepts it warmly. At the replimat, Odo and Sisko chat about the forthcoming O’Brien baby and the risks of interspecies love. Worf’s jealously and aloofness is played for laughs against Dax’s open friendliness as they discuss a trip to Risa…

Non-Euclidean Doom, where the value of pi is not 3.14159

Weirdly beautiful. Wonderful bit of game history exploring why the code for the 1993 game Doom uses a slightly wrong value for pi (the programmer recalls that he misremembered the 10th digit), and a bizarre exploration of what happens to the gameplay when you deliberately change pi to different values. We all know that the…

Google’s broken link to the web

I guess now we know why for the past decade or so Google doesn’t seem to be valuing what used to be magical about Google — the ability to rank pages so effectively and connect users to web pages that met their needs. That’s just not what’s driving Google these days. With AI search results…

She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all

Madi Hime is taking a deep drag on a blue vape in the video, her eyes shut, her face flushed with pleasure. The 16-year-old exhales with her head thrown back, collapsing into laughter that causes smoke to billow out of her mouth. The clip is grainy and shaky – as if shot in low light…

A crushing backlash to Apple’s new iPad ad

Remnants of a Legendary Typeface Rescued From the River Thames

It was an act of retribution against his business partner, Emery Walker, whom he believed was attempting to swindle him. With its extra-wide capital letters, diamond shaped punctuation and…
