SketchUp 2027 Brings Multiple Model Tabs, Procedural Modeling, Section Hatching, and Advanced Interoperability
With the release of SketchUp 2027, Trimble is rolling out a massive update focused heavily on design flexibility, workflow speed, multi-document management, and long-awaited platform parity. While recent updates leaned into live collaboration, AI features, and performance analysis hubs, the 2027 cycle tackles some of the most requested modeling, rendering, and…
Well I had a chance to play with Reverse Engineer Anything (#rea) on one of my old #atarist #demos and this is the result: https://gitlab.com/stsquad/amazing
I was able to give the tool a random backup @fenarinarsa managed to extract from my old ST disks but I didn't have the original graphics. So the code commentary is close to verbatim from what my teenage self wrote.
Obviously building Atari binaries is a pain so this builds with gnu m68k-cross-binutils.
This is a horrendously bad article for a trade publication - for one thing Angela Rayner is now Housing Minister and hasn't been Deputy Prime Minister for some time, but in some ways a shame she didn't leverage this a couple of years ago, although she is a bit too defeatist about dealing with ECUs - many affordable scan tools exist, and if you can read, count and follow basic processes you can often still fix a modern car (plus things like distributor/points that needed regular adjustment no longer exist, so services can be less hassle these days!)
I wonder why she only mentioned it now? (unless she was #driving on roads *before* 17 which isn't legal but a lot of Gen X did do that in cities as Police were overwhelmed by the rave/drug subculture)

Writober 2026 – Fracture
There's a fracture in my mind. Between who I am and who I was, between who I am and who I think I am, between who I think I am and who I want to be. I guess everyone has that fracture and everyone feels like they're the only one. Deciding to quit my industry has forced me to think of what I want to do. What do I want? What even are my values? What life do I want to live? Who am I? Who even am I? This question keeps coming to me. How do I define myself? There's my love for my hometown, sure. […]
#Grauniad actually do a reasonable job here of reporting on the #cocaine problem in #Britain - not concentrating on mere possession or low level use (which like any other #drugs isn't that much of an issue in itself) but genuine #crimes that harm others as well as the user such as #violence (especially #DomesticViolence ), #'stalking and dangerous #driving under the influence (or due to sleep deprivation after chronic use).
And this is without data from Metpol, who weren't able to provide it (probably because they are overwhelmed with dealing with such incidents)
H άμεσo-δημοκρατία δεν είναι ασυμβίβαστη με τον καπιταλισμό. Just a suggestion.
Сейчас будет больно:
Один из своих твитов Илон Маск опубликовал в 12:12. 12/12 — это 12 декабря. Если к 12 декабря прибавить 10 месяцев и 14 дней, получится 26 октября. И этот твит набрал 29.9M лайков, а 299-й день года — это тоже 26 октября. Вывод: 26 декабря случится восхищение церкви и начнётся великая скорбь. Вам сам Маск это почти прямым текстом подтвердил!
Хоть кто-то уловил в этом хоть какую-то логику? Я серьёзно. Хоть кто-то? Хоть какую-то? Это юмор такой?
Nice. Looks like ECH support got merged yesterday for Python 3.16
Time is hard.
Naming stuff is hard sometimes
query: hypothetically, if I were to take the box of our old Pokémon cards home from my parents' house later today, is there any easy way* to, like, assess if there's anything of value in there
*for a definition of easy that includes me being perfectly happy to do a bunch of manual data entry
Ещё один снежный день. Собаки довольны. Бегуны не очень. Остальные дома сидят.
Probably should’ve just used Vue for this but I refuse so it’s alpine for interactivity
Thank you, David Eby, for the dumbest election I can remember. From a slim NDP majority to a Conservative majority in only two years. You had two more years to build a solid coalition, and instead…WTF. #BCpoli #bcelection2026
Rising NAND prices are reshaping the used enterprise SSD market, but not all drives benefit equally. BuySellRam examines resale price trends, showing how model, capacity, drive health, and market supply affect used SSD values. For data center operators, understanding these factors is key to making smarter decisions when retiring surplus storage hardware.

Ok bits and pieces slowly starting to come together. I can’t go off the wall because it’s meant for more than just insane me. But I can at least have fun with it
4 men (not young lads either) #arrested in #GreaterManchester area for targeted #vandalism of #HMO (houses of multiple occupation, which often house immigrants) and leaving racist graffiti behind.
Interestingly #GMP are also claiming that "vulnerable people including children/teens" are being *paid* to do this (there have been as many as 40 such incidents across the region)
4 years #prison , a 10 year #driving ban and confiscation of a #motorcycle for this rider from #London who deliberately rode at 189 mph (301 km/h!) on public roads across #Kent for #socialmedia clout..

Genuinely unsure if all the #MentalHealth care in the world could have saved Paul Flack - literally everything in his life fell apart one after the other.
His sister (the TV presenter Caroline Flack) committed suicide after losing her career following a criminal charge and subsequent publicity, his partner got cancer, he had health problems of this own, his dad got ill and passed away, and his own dream career just evaporated due to the pandemic downturn (as well as a decline in demand as physical media gave way to digital with less demand for elaborate graphic design)
I looked up some of his work and he was clearly very talented...
I saw some people in Cleveland today.
The 2026 autumn lisp game jam starts on Friday!
I think I have some ideas for admin UI. Im gonna go for more depth/texture rather than flat like everything else everywhere. I want it to have some personality while also being easy to use
I like a lot of my temp elements already. But overall it feels to generic so I’ll focus on what I hate first
Writober 2026 − Cuit au four
Aujourd'hui, c'est la reprise de la saison de coupe du monde de short-track ! Je n'ai rien cuit au four, je me fais un bouillon au miso pour ce midi, j'ai pas très faim. À midi, par contre, je me suis fait des légumes d'automne rôtis : des cubes de carottes, de potimarron, de betteraves et d'oignon, des cubes de tofu par-dessus, un petit reste de pois chiches, et hop hop hop au four avec du cumin, du sel, du poivre et de l'huile d'olive. Je ne peux que conseiller ces petits plats rapides […]
Die nächste Tour de France startet in #edinburgh. Zum ersten Mal in GB, soweit ich weiß. Gute Entscheidung! Da wird es bestimmt tolle Bilder geben.
