Nuit blanche
Expanding beyond the traditional bounds of Toronto's city streets and buildings, Lake Ontario will also serve as a setting for the festival, with Oaxaca-based artist, Carolina Fusilier's Amphipoda Songs, which features floating sculptures, lights and soundscapes that pay rememberance to extinct species.
Back on solid land, performances and art works can be found in every corner of the city, from Coalescing Towards, a longform movement performance by Milan-based choreographer Michele Rizzo and Toronto Dance Theatre, to Toronto artist Kara Springer's fraction of another sun, which features light boxes activated by breath.
Sexton.art Cats a story about the lost paintings
We had a collection of beautiful paintings, among our most beloved were by Mark Sexton. During a move, the collection was lost. We had spent years missing the colourful playful paintings around our house. We felt like an important artists work was lost.
By random chance, we were gifted some canvases. Being programmers who are more experienced making digital objects, we felt confused and left the plain canvases to sit.
Then we got bored. COVID hit the world and time stopped.
We decided to recreate some of the lost paintings. Using photographs, we compiled every image we had of the collection. Then painted. The first one we did together using rulers and paint and just experimenting. Then we found we had a knack for it. So we kept painting. So far we've recreated 4 paintings, and have done countless studies in preparation to do more.
In a way, the journey of the cat paintings symbolizes renewal, coming full circle, a way of being made whole again. And intergenerational happiness. Feelings that can be passed down through the family tradition of painting cats.
Story of loss, moving forward, and making your own way.

C is good at pointers. It's just Fortran with pointers. It's not good at strings. Js does strings better.
Ironic cuz c was made for text handling.
"." Means current directory. ".." means parent directory.

String
Just like JS

Primary expression: if has square brackets, means "+"
The expression ‘‘E1[E2]’’ is identical (by definition) to ‘‘* ( ( E1 ) + ( E2 ) ) ’’
Unary operators:
Lvalue:

! expression:
The result of the logical negation operator ! is 1 if the value of the expression is 0, 0 if the value of the expres-
sion is non-zero.
Similar to Boolean in JS.

Internet archive.org News / Paradox
"It’s an essential tool for everything from legal research—particularly around patent law—to accountability journalism. “There are other online archiving tools,” says ProPublica reporter Craig Silverman, “but none of them touch the Internet Archive.” It is, in short, a proof machine."
"Since 2020, it’s been mired in legal battles. In Hachette v. Internet Archive, book publishers complained that the nonprofit infringed on copyright by loaning out digitized versions of physical books. In UMG Recordings v. Internet Archive, music labels have alleged that the Internet Archive infringed on copyright by digitizing recordings."
"In both cases, the Internet Archive has mounted “fair use” defenses, arguing that it is permitted to use copyrighted materials as a noncommercial entity creating archival materials. In both cases, the plaintiffs characterized it as a hub for piracy. In 2023, it lost Hachette. This month, it lost an appeal in the case. "

"BIFF, later sometimes B1FF, was a pseudonym on, and the prototypical newbie of, Usenet. BIFF was created as and taken up as a satire of a partly amusing, partly annoying, mostly unwelcome intrusion into a then fairly rarefied community. BIFF had a VIC-20 at first and a Commodore 64 later (as these were both computers looked down upon as low-end by the majority of the veteran Usenet community). BIFF posts were limited to line lengths of either 22 characters (like the VIC-20) or 40 characters (like the Commodore 64) to look like they'd come from those
machines."

"Can I program the Arduino board in C?
In fact, you already are; the Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ functions that can be called from your code. Your sketch undergoes minor changes (e.g. automatic generation of function prototypes) and then is passed directly to a C/C++ compiler (avr-g++). All standard C and C++ constructs supported by avr-g++ should work in Arduino. For more details, see the page on the Arduino build process.

Yes, but how do you talk to the sensors if you're using C?
How to program a Raspberry Pi in C?
"
For compiling C programs, we use a compiler called gcc because it comes installed on the Raspberry Pi. It has many complicated options which allow us to tailor its output to our needs, however to compile a simple program like the Hello Pi above, it is nicely simple. Just like the functions discussed in C."
