Exclusive: Rishi Sunak urged to take the UK back into Horizon in a new letter signed by over 30 business leaders
The letter seen by @politicshome says the EU science scheme delivers things "the UK alone could not" & warns the PM he can't "recreate" it

Zachlike subleq "game": github.com/jaredkrinke/sic1
I'm going to lose a lot of braincells to this one.
subleq is the joy of someone naming a variable "notDead" instead of "alive" in the form of a single instruction cpu.
subtract b from a (in place) and jump to c if not positive.

Ever wondered how a QR code works?
No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.
(Warning, there is some extremely nerdy shit here.👇 )

On this day, five years ago I had major heart surgery. Amazing how the time has passed.

The founder of Demon Internet Cliff Stanford has died.
Demon was an early British ISP. Even if you weren't a subscriber, if you were on the internet in the UK in the 1990s, you'll have heard of it – or seen people with Demon email addresses

This is an extremely good video on the Spectrum Next and a summary of hardware features that have been built into it. I rate this as one of James's best and most informative videos on his channel - so far :)

That hypnogram.xyz/ site is very interesting. I gave it the name of @magic_bane latest game to render a picture of and this is what it came up with.

Well, that was predictable. UK Government try to prevent 1000s of COVID infections & deaths from new omicron variant & the stupid people are screeching about a global public health issue that they've 'had enough'. Looks like I'll be having Christmas on my own again to be safe :(

It's great to see what people can do when they understand the machine perfectly and know how to squeeze every drop of performance out to craft the perfect gameplay experience...!
2006's Jet Set Basic
Runs at 1fps and forget any control responsiveness. However, got to admire the author's vision (and patience).

I am joking a bit here. I wrote a Manic Miner clone on the Ti-99/4a in TI Basic once and it had slower performance than this updating the screen and in player control. The levels I designed could not be completed because I screwed up the level design and it ran out of memory...!
