aria-label Does Not Translate

As of my 28 January 2024 update at the end of this post, aria-label auto-translation support is seemingly as spotty as when I first wrote this post. It does, actually. Sometimes.

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...

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...

I am loving all the peripheral elements of the #olympics. Haven't seen any sports, yet.

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!

Entropic Forces

  In 2009, Erik Verlinde argued that gravity is an entropic force. This created a big stir—and it helped him win about $6,500,000 in prize money and grants! But what the heck is an ̵…
