Anyway, she's 11 now. Her bedtime is later, and she knows we don't mind if she stays up reading. She still loves books, but there are lots of things – messaging with friends, Roblox, etc – competing for her attention.

At some point, though, she figured out how to check out books on Libby, and read them on her iPad. She doesn't need our help at all.

It's the weirdest thing. Someone must have installed the app, entered her library card information, and left the icon there on the home screen.

Exciting times are ahead! We're starting to see new programming languages evolve the ideas popularized by #Rust. Children of Rust, if you will.

inko-lang.org/

Inko seems to trade off a little performance to get a compiler that accepts more code as valid, but still keeping strong safety guarantees. An easier-to-write language than Rust perhaps.

I'm looking forward to seeing more languages that make coding easier while not compromising on safety and reliability. :blobcatthumbsup:

We shouldn't respect higher menu prices, IMPO. I think regardless prices should be an upfront thing, and the delivery should be higher then. If they get less orders to bad so sad, it's clearer. As it stands, research the restaurant you want to go to, and use the cheapest priced menu option without resorting to premium. I agree generally with cooking and things instead of restaurant food, but lets keep things in prospective and not respect hiding tactics. reddit.com/r/skipthedishes/com…

Proposing a 64-bit only x86 arch (tentatively x86-S) is all well and good, but wow Intel still hasn't gotten over AMD creating 64-bit x86 (AMD64/x86-64):
intel.com/content/www/us/en/de…

Since its introduction over 20 years ago, the Intel® 64 architecture became the dominant operating mode.


No, the 64-bit architecture Intel introduced was Itanium (IA-64). That was also jointly developed by HP, based on their PA-RISC arch. It crashed and burned.

This is admittedly rather minor, but it irritates me to an almost irrational degree.


Envisioning a Simplified Intel Architecture for the Future

PC computing rests heavily on Intel Architecture processors with an enormous installed base, and cloud computing is synonymous with Intel Architecture.

The Zoom M2 MicTrak is a 199 USD microphone that records. Pop a Micro-SD card into the MicTrak, and without any bulky gadgets and cables, you've got stereo 32-bit float recording. The fact that you can record in any situation without the risk of distortion is of enormous benefit to blind people recording in the field. When the product was launched late last year, it got off to the worst possible start, with overwhelmingly negative feedback about the product being unusable due to chronic radio frequency interference.

Zoom Sound Labs recalled many of the original batch of microphones, acknowledging the problem and proclaiming it fixed. And it appears they are right. The RF problems are gone and the device seems dependable. This handy microphone is an easy-to-use, simple way to get quality recording of anything, anywhere.

In this demonstration, Richard Mosen and I will unbox the M2 MicTrak, set it up, and take you through every single menu item on the device, so blind people can build a cheat sheet to help them set it up the way they like.
One setting you'll definitely want to enable is a handy beep to let you know when the microphone is recording. pnc.st/s/the-blind-podmaker/7f…

If you are in #Liberec, #MladáBoleslav or #Semily, visit a concert of the 🎼 Podkrkonšský symfonycký orchestr. They have a tour named "Bon appetit" and it's fun.
I have visited their concert in #Turnov this Saturday and it was delicious. 👌😁

Btw I discovered there this piece of music:

We can have one of two things — but not both.

We can either have a society that tolerates millionaires and billionaires polluting the planet and destroying the biosphere. Or we can have a planet with a healthy biosphere but with fewer millionaires and no billionaires at all.

This is from a recently published peer-reviewed scientific paper titled “Millionaire Spending Incompatible with 1.5 C Ambitions”...
______________________

Much evidence suggests that the wealthiest individuals contribute disproportionately to climate change. Here we study the implications of a continued growth in the number of millionaires for emissions, and its impact on the depletion of the remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Our findings suggest that the share of millionaires in the world population will grow from 0.7% today to 3.3% in 2050, and cause accumulated emissions equivalent to 72% of the remaining carbon budget. This significantly reduces the chance of stabilizing climate change at 1.5°C.

The concentration of wealth at the top means that a significant share of the remaining carbon budget to 1.5°C is depleted by a very small share of humanity. This comparably small group is also likely to invest its wealth in ways that further increase emissions.

Continued growth in emissions at the top makes a low-carbon transition less likely, as the acceleration of energy consumption by the wealthiest is likely beyond the system's capacity to decarbonize. To this end, we question whether policy designs such as progressive taxes targeting the high emitters will be sufficient.

The Mystery Cloudflare NAT64


===

So I am at my dads this weekend, and I (as always) load bgp.tools to check what the internet connection is doing, and to my surprise this time IPv4 was showing correctly as Trooli (his local AltNet), but huh, what? on IPv6 Cloudflare is his upstream?

That seems wrong and unlikely?

So surely I thought my dad might be running the Cloudflare Warp VPN or something, but I asked him, and nope.

The IPv6 address check on bgp.tools works by making you request v6.bgp.tools/whoami, a DNS name that only has a AAAA on it, forcing you to use IPv6 (if you have it). Yet this time it seemed that it was returning a IPv4 cloudflare record!

Also interestingly, I could not reproduce this on Firefox.

So. My dad configured a DNS search domain. It turned out, because he has no IPv6 in the house.

It used the search domain.

[11:59:19] ben@eshwill:~$ dig A v6.bgp.tools @1.1.1.1 +short

[11:59:23] ben@eshwill:~$ dig A v6.bgp.tools.replaced-personal-domain.com @1.1.1.1 +short
172.67.222.196
104.21.17.59

Of course.

My dad had a wildcard proxy record on his cloudflare domain, that he used on his DNS search domain/path. So when the resolver tried the search path, it got back CF v4 records. And because bgp.tools (for now) uses Cloudflare for DNS, Cloudflare had no problem proxying it as if the proxy was enabled on bgp.tools.

Search domains/paths are evil!

Oh that reminds me, I still need to do a chiptune cover of this. I'll probably have to end up bumping it up an octave, with the exception of the C64 those kinds of chips were never really that good at bass without adding some nasty ringing artifacts unfortunately. youtube.com/watch?v=rkvwgnSYn-…

Don’t Tell ChatGPT Anything You Wouldn’t Want to See on a Billboard

Chatting with an AI program feels personal and conversational, but don’t be fooled. Here's why you should keep a lid on what you reveal to ChatGPT and its ilk.

"Don’t Tell #ChatGPT Anything You Wouldn’t Want to See on a #Billboard"

"Here’s a simple tip: DO NOT use #AI on any work-related project without checking your company’s policy. Even if your company has no policy, think twice, or even three times, before you put anything work-related into an AI.
You don’t want to become infamous for triggering the privacy fiasco that spurs your company into creating such a policy."

You don't need to download the #android #sdk #binaries from #google .

You can compile the #sdk by yourself from the source code to write #android #apps.

Check this repository at #codeberg , it will do the job for you.

All you need are the scripts from this #repo , 32 GB #ram , approx. 300 GB free disk space and some patience.

Then, you can start coding for #android without the proprietary #sdk binaries from #google!
