This is a real picture, it has not been altered, just great timing as he launches over the wave
Gabriel Medina, #Brazil, he scored a 9.90, the highest single wave score in Olympics history
then he stood on air in a #photo which is instantly iconic

I just learned there is a #QUIC in the #Linux kernel effort: github.com/lxin/quic
... as a draft PR making curl use it was filed: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1431…
Support QUIC sockets by moritzbuhl · Pull Request #14313 · curl/curl
Hi, this is still very early as the quic kernel module is still under discussion on the LKML. This is unfinished and needs a lot more modification. I would appreciate some initial feedback now befo...GitHub
Seirdy reshared this.
I mean... I kind of like it. IPPROTO_QUIC added to ye olde socket API looks neat/simple to me, and (as a transport layer) I think it belongs in the kernel anyway.
I assume you prefer QUIC in userspace? For portability reasons?
I have this slide showing the 101(!) operating systems people have reported #curl to run on.
I now have a customer call scheduled about porting it to a 102nd...

If you're out for a walk this weekend, and spot a memorial bench, please take a geotagged photo and upload it to openbenches.org/
We've got over thirty-two thousand benches - all added by people like you.
Every bench gets posted on our Mastodon-bot @openbenches
THANKS GANG!
we have signed an agreement with OSM which allows them to use our data.
It doesn't get uploaded automatically because people taking photos don't always have the same precision GPS coordinates as needed for mapping.
For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.
I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.
Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.
I've only ever seen it on audio tape.

In everyday life we encounter two kinds of forces: energetic forces and entropic forces.
When you hold a rock you feel it pushing your hand down. This is an energetic force: raising the rock increases its energy, while lowering it lowers its energy.
When you stretch a rubber band, you feel it pulling back. This is an entropic force. You're not mainly increasing its energy as you stretch it. You're decreasing its entropy! You are taking the tangled polymers in the rubber and forcing them to line up more neatly.
We see here a fundamental truth of thermodynamics: when the temperature is constant, the world wants to minimize its 'free energy', which is energy minus temperature times entropy. So the rock pushes down to reduce energy, but the rubber band pulls back to increase entropy.
Now for a puzzle. When you compress a cylinder of gas, it pushes back. Is this an entropic force or an energetic force... or maybe a mixture of the two?
Yes, the force is due to the pressure of the gas. When you compress the cylinder, molecules of gas inside are bouncing against the cylinder's head, pushing back. That's a perfectly fine explanation at the microscopic level. But you can still ask: are you increasing the energy of the gas, or decreasing its entropy... or both?
Think about it a minute, and then I'll tell you. Someone told me the answer, but I decided it's not quite that simple, so I'll explain the answer I came up with.
If you can handle some math, check out my blog article about entropic forces. If you can't - fear not, the answer to the puzzle uses essentially no math!

Penelope passed away peacefully in my arms tonight. We made sure her last few hours were wonderful. I'll describe more later but it involved going to the park, meeting a toad and dark chocolate mousse.
This is the worst day of my life, she was everything to me. I was her Daddy and she was my bouncy, feisty little girl. She knew she was a rough and tumble princess and she acted accordingly. She was always in charge.
I loved her with all of my heart. Every day she was the first person I saw and the last person I saw at night.
I know I'm going to be posting a lot over the coming days but words will never be able to describe the love I had for her and she for me.
