He played so many terrific roles. It's difficult to name a favorite but one that really stands out for me is when he was OddBall in "Kelly's Heroes." I especially like how he describes when their tanks fire shells filled with paint.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

One of the key features of my graphics library is the ability to create arbitrary pixel formats so you can for example, create a bitmap with any kind of color model and memory footprint you like.
I thought I was a bit crazy, because most IoT devices are 16-bit RGB if not monochrome.
I thought I was overengineering
Then along came color e-ink and all of the sudden even my palette support made sense.
Then I started doing professional displays on embedded outside the IoT realm and many are 24-bit color.
using rgb24 = gfx::rgb_pixel<24>;
And Bob's your uncle
Well then I made an Arduino emulator for the PC, and directx threw me for a bit of a loop because there are 4 channels but one is unused:
template<size_t BitDepth>
using bgrx_pixel = gfx::pixel<
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::B,(BitDepth/4)>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::G,((BitDepth/4)+(BitDepth%4))>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::R,(BitDepth/4)>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::nop,(BitDepth/4),0,(1<<(BitDepth/4))-1,(1<<(BitDepth/4))-1>
>;
using screen_t = uix::screen<bgrx_pixel<32>>;
Bam!
I have not redesigned this feature of my library since its inception in like 2021. It keeps just kicking ass.
I do not design with any expectation that what I designed will remain unchanged that far out because it's usually not realistic. I am not that smart. This was all luck.

It's not a coincidence that luck always prefers smart people.

The paradox exists becasue we are part of the problem and believe to be part of the solution...

I thought you didn't do Twatter.

I don't. But I do know deluded fools who do.

I guess that depends on the meaning of "do"
For example, I do not have an active twitter account. However, tweets find me through other avenues online, even on codeproject, as above. Sometimes I'll share them if they're funny or otherwise amusing. I can't log on to the platform formerly known as X and I have no intention of changing that. Perhaps that's the case with Griff.

Pretty much the same - I don't have a Twatter / Echh account and never have but twaats find their way too me sometimes.

I will lean on the side that all life seeks self survival, and so large collections are difficult to maintained. Selfishness limits a upper limit.

Yeah, they do go hand in hand though. Echo chambers of stupid stoke the flames of greed.
