In-person registrations for RWC 2023 are nearly at venue capacity. So if you are planning to attend RWC 2023, register now. Please do not assume that you can register on-site: this is most likely not going to be possible.

thank you so much to the anonymous ex-Waterstones manager who forwarded me a copy of the actual snake policy. (this is from 2018 so it may have changed slightly since then, but this consistent with what people have been reporting of their own experiences)

Came across this surprisingly informative game design post on Tumblr about why the size of a child's hands is core to Nintendo's design and I had never even thought about it

One of my fave hobbies is getting to meet & talk to cool folks in the entertainment industry that write/produce some of the sci-fi/tech-relevant stories we see on screen. 🎬🎞️ Here's a clip from my chat with the awesome @justinspring3r (Producer for TRON!) about passwords.
#AskAScientist has a new look! What is the future of #passwords? Hear from @Google's security princess and VP/GM of @googlechrome @laparisa and Tron producer @justinspringer. #security youtube.com/watch?v=QrAcTIPF…

Zoom calls with many participants make verbal reactions awkward, and renders subtle body language imperceptible. Communication suffers. One possible solution: A shared rudimentary sign language.
Zoom work is still very new, and it is worth working to make it better. Here is one idea... This paper finds that learning & using a set of gestures made to be seen in tiny Zoom windows makes calls better, but expressing with emoji reactions 🎉👍 didn't! journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

The best thing about web3 is that it comes with built-in bug bounties. 😂
1/ Nomad just got drained for over $150M in one of the most chaotic hacks that Web3 has ever seen. How exactly did this happen, and what was the root cause? Allow me to take you behind the scenes 👇

Walking in the middle of Hampstead Heath, an American guy came up to me and said “hey, how do I get out of here?”, I said “well, that depends where you need to go”, and he looked at me like I was some fucking Alice in Wonderland character

If you pirated TV twenty years ago, could you kindly look through your smart card collection for any Nagra1 cards? They look like this, and I'd very much like to have more of them for a history project, even though they have long been useless for watching TV.
