Last year @matthewhelmke had a typewriter that had been in his family since it was brand new carefully packaged up and sent to me, and I'm absolutely in love.
This 1940 Smith-Corona Sterling has easily taken a spot as the best condition #typewriter in my collection 😍
I wrote about it here, with lots of pictures: princessleia.com/journal/2024/…
An exquisite 1940 Smith-Corona Sterling – pleia2's blog
Last year posted about the acquisition of an Olympia Traveller de Luxe. That’s when I received a message from my co-author of The Official Ubuntu Book and friend of mine that started out: “I have an old portable manual typewriter (1940s/50s, I think,…princessleia.com

Dneska mi v práci dokonce svěřili kličku. KLIČKU!!
Sice nemám nejmenší ponětí k čemu je dobrá a večer ji musím zase vrátit, ale stejně...
Mám kličku! Záviďte...
Není od autobusu a ani to není standardní součást "vozových náležitostí". Fakt ji vidim poprvý.
Ale protože mám dneska náhradní dopravu za tramvaje a jezdí se dost po kolejích, odhaduju, že je to záležitost tramvajové infrastruktury. Nějaký přepínání semaforů v případě nouze nebo tak něco...

It's Becoming Possible To Use The Webcam On Newer Intel Laptops With Open-Source Linux
While Intel typically does a great job with their open-source Linux hardware support with enabling all features under Linux and doing so in a timely manner -- often well in advance of the client and server hardware availability -- an exception in recent years has been around the web cam support for many newer Intel laptops. Since Alder Lake an increa…

❓ Alza nabízí až 25% slevy pro AlzaPlus+ členy při nákupu v aplikacích. Jen do dneška, ale zaujalo mne to pro dvě věci.
1) AlzaPlus+, což je něco jako 25 Kč měsíčně a máte dopravu zdarma do boxů, prodejen a odběrních míst. Prozatím cenu nezvýšili, ale stále mi připadá, že to je poměrně nízké (a fakt to šetří peníze).
2) Sleva je podmíněna nákupem v mobilní aplikaci. Nějak tak mi uniká, proč to není možné i přes web. Zvláštní. Napadá vás proč na webu ne?

Now that y'all have seen the differing career impacts, media coverage of, and societal reactions to, Black women being accused of plagiarism (Claudine Gay) and white women being accused of plagiarism (Neri Oxman)...
you can understand why I say that widely used automated plagiarism detecting software that advertises a false positive rate of 1%🤦🏿♂️, is devastating for Black students.
Another flavor of: in a racist country, being falsely accused has devastating consequences
a)All black people are cheating because it can't recognize their faces at all,
b)Anyone who has a roommate is cheating, because it's impossible to take a test in the same room as someone else,
c)Anyone with autism or ADHD is cheating because their eyes move in unexpected ways,
d)Anyone with photophobia or related eye conditions is cheating because their eyes move in unexpected ways,
e)Anyone using accessability software is cheating because there's software running on their computer
...and a whole bunch of "cheating" accusations that I couldn't discern any reason for.
If our civilization collapses, extraterrestrial archeologists can look at this and be impressed. Three satellites following the Earth in an equilateral triangle, each 2.5 million kilometers from the other two. Each contains two gold cubes in free-fall. The satellites accelerate just enough so they don't get blown off course by the solar wind. The gold cubes inside feel nothing but gravity.
Lasers bounce between each cube and its partner in another satellite, measuring the distance between them to an accuracy of 20 picometers: less than the diameter of a helium atom! This lets the satellites detect gravitational waves — ripples in the curvature of spacetime — with very long wavelengths, and correspondingly low frequencies.
It should see so many binary white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes in the Milky Way that these will be nothing but foreground noise. More excitingly, it should see mergers of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies as far as... the dawn of time, or whenever such black holes were first formed. (The farther you look, the older things you see.)
It may even be able to see the "gravitational background radiation": the thrumming vibrations in the fabric of spacetime left over from the Big Bang. These gravitational waves were created before the hot gas in the Universe cooled down enough to become transparent to light. So they're older than the microwave background radiation, which is the oldest thing we see now.
It's called LISA - the Laser Interferometric Satellite Antenna. And we're in luck: ESA has just decided to launch it in 2035.

Interesting STUDY on the risks of #COVID19 infection in a university setting in China.
The risk of infection of susceptible students per 45-min lesson was 1%. (That adds up fast with 15 classes/week for many students.)
An occupancy rate of 50% reduced infection risk by 62%.
Fresh air decreased risk by 81.1%.
All students wearing N95 respirators reduced risks by 96%.
So, which of these mitigations are we doing to protect students? None. We are doing none of them.
I had one of those as a teenager!!! It was the best!

Toying with a new project graph in #curl that I find fascinating: the ratio between lines of code divided per number of lines of docs - in the git repository over the last 24 years.
The number of lines of code has increased more than 8x in this period, from less than 20K lines to over 160K lines.
Yes, these are awesome. Thanks.
I was talking about a graph that somehow shows "how much of the original code is still there", or "how old are lines of code in the repo".
Just curious, I don't see any actionable use for it. I guess I can run it myself on the curl repo.
