The Metropolitan Museum of Art has put online 492,000 high-resolution images of artistic works.
Even better, the museum has placed the vast majority of these images into the public domain, meaning they can be downloaded directly from the museum’s website for non-commercial use.
When you browse the Met collection and find an image that you fancy, just look at the lower left-hand side of the image.
If you see an “OA” icon and the words “public domain”, you’re free to use the image, provided that you abide by the Met’s terms.
In making this collection available online, the Met joined other world-class museums in putting large troves of digital art online.
Witness the 88,000 images from the Getty in L.A.,
the 125,000 Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum,
the 50,000 artistic images from the National Gallery,
and the 1.9 million images from the British Museum.

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

As those of you who follow me unfortunately know, I track the $DJT meme stock. I'm expecting a YOOOOGE pump in the morning. It looks like it's been manipulated all along, so whether or not he goes down tomorrow, it's a last-ditch opportunity to project strength.
I think the smart money gets out of the trade by midday. If he loses, it's going to zero, so if it's clearly going badly for him, it may drop so hard that they halt trading. Again. Could be a bellwether.
RIP Quincy Jones.
Legendary music producer behind hits from Sinatra to Michael Jackson.
I know I'm alone in this, but I think "Billie Jean" was a more iconic and transformative Quincy Jones song than "Thriller." First time we saw the Michael Jackson moonwalk!

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Motown 25) (Remastered 4K)

The real genius of “Thriller” is that it is 4 minutes of warnings about horrible scary monsters and then bang: fooled you, all that was a clever ruse to get you to hold me tight, kiss me, I will take care of you, protect you, love you, thrill you, this is a pop song, I am the King of Pop, what were you expecting?
But Billie Jean is a perfect song. And identifiable immediately after the first kick and snare of the intro.
There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.
Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.
You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.
Then that lead gets smaller throughout… instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?u…

🚨🚨🚨 ARIZONA VOTERS — It’s been reported that thousands of early voters in Pima County returned only the first page of their two-page ballot. This is important because Prop 139 for Abortion Access is on page 2. Please don’t make the same mistake when you vote in person. Please share with AZ folks.

My personal list, in descending order of usefulness, goes -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wwrite-strings and maybe also -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes.
-Wconversion catches bugs that nothing else catches but it also complains about a whole bunch of perfectly fine and idiomatic constructs. The prototypes ones used to be really helpful when dealing with code that was written pre-1990, but nowadays they mainly help you find functions that you forgot to mark "static".

Saw the following on the comment thread where I learned about the 64 MB RAM requirement for OpenWrt (where I also commented):
> These days I mostly write code for systems with 256 KiB of RAM, so struggling with 64 MiB seems a bit excessive.
Just now, I wish I had chosen to work on that kind of embedded software. I guess I still could, at least as a side project. I know I'm doing important work where I'm at though, even if I have to tolerate the unconstrained excess of Electron and the like.

Random linux question: I have my command history, in Linux, but not a record of command outputs. Now that text is as close to free as makes no difference, should we not store both? Command executed, standard-out resulting, all stored?
Given screamingly fast IO and effectively infinite drive space, at least as far as text is concerned, it's sort of remarkable how much useful information we just accidentally throw away these days, how little we routinely save.
@federicomena I've done the same for years and I still use screen(1). My uptime is usually measured in months, interrupted by the occasional kernel upgrade. A terminal scrollback for three months of output is a couple of megs. It's possible to write it to disk automatically.
Keeping this habit has made me more cautious about running commands that might generate a lot of output spew, like cat'ing a file before checking its size. I'm not positive this is an improvement.

And all of this for the price of our ecosystem.
I hope that some musicians would take this idea and run with it. @MASTERBOOTRECORD (perhaps they already did such a thing)?
I would double hope that c41c could pick up an instrument and rewrite the song.
