Oh, look! Another nostalgia-fueled expedition into the ancient relic known as the Commodore 64, aka the #computing equivalent of a rotary phone! 📞🔄 Apparently, #sprite #multiplexing is the "cutting-edge" feature that will totally blow your mind—if only we weren't already busy living in the 21st century. 🙄💾

C64: Putting Sprite Multiplexing to Work

Last week’s article summarized the sprite system on the Commodore 64. I’ve done this for quite a few other platforms at this point, and I’ve usually followed up with a short proje…

Interesting imaging multiplexing method: Combinatorially label multiple protein species in several channels, then deconvolve them in software. Allows up to 7 proteins to be imaged in 3 channels.

This feels like the opposite of #multiplexing from software licensing terms:

"Amazon is encouraging its employees to create multiple GitHub accounts and share their access credentials."

Oh well, if the #AWS legal team says "this is fine", it must be.😇

#Multiplexing technique for 7-segment displays.

The first GIF features a slomo view of a VFD calculator display in action.
The second GIF provides a schematic overview of the multiplexing process.
Multiplexing allows to control multiple digits using fewer output pins.
It was fun filming the display after restoring this non-working calculator and uncovering what wasn't visible to the naked eye. 🔍 🎥 👀

Microscopy method overcomes the traditional resolution limit for the fast co-tracking of molecules

Researchers at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) have developed an innovative method to simultaneously track rapid dynamic processes of multiple molecules at the molecular scale.

Interesting #multiplexing datapoint: This preprint describes a straightforward multiplex #microscopy strategy - Image 3 channels, blast sample with bright light until it's bleached, then re-stain. Works with 400 µm sections in fructose-based #tissueclearing solution.

Hey, remember when I said that #HTTP2's spec doesn't require TLS for it to be used, but de-facto it is necessary anyway because mainstream browsers like #Firefox and #Chrome will not support #HTTP/2 without #HTTPS?

Well I just realized now that thanks to
#Mozilla and #Google's arbitrary limitations, they've actually made browsing the web with #I2P, #Tor (via onion/hidden services), and #Yggdrassil slower than it should be! The latency in Tor is so damn high that you essentially have to sacrifice speed if you're going to use an onion service that doesn't have an HTTPS certificate (which is unnecessary in the #encryption front because your connection to the onion is already encrypted!).

And I'm not even alone in this thought, look at this comment in
bug 1418832 which never got a response from Mozilla.

Basically if you're a Tor hidden service operator, Firefox's devs are telling you to chalk up that $30 TLS certificate from harica.gr for the HTTP/2, and if you're operating a website over I2P or Yggdrasil, well "fuck your
#privacy, get stuck in HTTP/1.1 lol"

I normally dunk on HTTP/2 (and personally I'm not even a fan of Tor) but this stupid decision by Mozilla as well as the equally stupid decision to drop HTTP/1.1
#pipelining means downstream (which Tor Browser is) will have to deal with this bullshit speed bump. HTTP/2's #multiplexing would've helped greatly in these average high latency situations!

This is why you never let politician-wannabes control your development
