Your cal likely also recognizes month names, try "cal apr" for April of this year.

Corn is synonymous with "grain" and in this context means whatever food crop is grown locally. In many parts of America this is maize, formerly known as "Indian corn".

It is explained in the FAQ:

There was a bug in early Pentiums called the f00f bug, it would cause a deadlock if you provided an invalid operand to cmpxchg8b while using the lock prefix. It was an important vulnerability at the time, and I thought it would be fun to own lock.cmpxchg8b.com.

Bandcamp is great; the only marketplace I have found with fair and reasonable terms for both producers and consumers of music. I never buy music anywhere else these days and am rather worried about Epic Games' acquisition.

It sounds like a lot but it is about the same temperature as that of a regular wax candle flame.

I was mainly attracted to the game for the economic simulation but also thought I would enjoy solo exploration based on watching such gameplay on Youtube. I wanted to do PvE and interact with the community in other ways than fighting, but EVE Online is a PvP game at heart. I left because all I found while exploring were other players eager to murder me.

For many years I thought Youtube content "voting" was helpful for both Google (they get to know what commercial goods and services I might be interested in) and for users (the information could potentially be used for improving video recommendations). As far as I can tell the latter has never been the case; Youtube won't recommend me anything I care to watch, often recommends videos I have watched and disliked, and is utterly unable to identify my interests despite thousands of likes and dislikes.

I figured Google would come to their senses and use this valuable information eventually. When Youtube instead announced that they won't ever care about my preferences for video content I was disappointed but not surprised. Since the voting can now only benefit Google themselves I decided to cease participating. I used a content blocker to hide the likes and buttons to make sure I don't slip up.

I wish I could boycott Youtube entirely but I am not quite ready to leave the platform because it still offers some educational and entertainment content useful to me.

Fair enough, usability will obviously be poor if the scale is difficult to read. My eyesight is terrible but at least it is still all myopia so I can compensate by putting the calipers extremely close to my eyes. Looks awkward and people call me Mr. Magoo but it works!

Get Vernier calipers! The scale is easy to learn and use and measurements will be at least as precise as electronic calipers. With no batteries required the tool has much less of an environmental impact and you never need to worry about whether the calipers will work or not.

It seems to me that if we reject a subset of experimental samples because they look like bad data (e.g. extreme outlier caused by sensor malfunction) we are still keeping all the bad data we are unable to recognize as such (e.g. sensor malfunctions producing less extreme data), which introduces a bias.

Pond turtles are considered fish and live fish is not available to bring on embark. Since the only source for shells is fishing it is somewhat common to mod the game to make shell acquisition easier, you might have had one of those running.

Alas, (unless you mod the game) you do not get shells from turtles you bring on embark or import through trade; they are already processed and ready to eat, no shell included. You do not even get a shell when you buy mussels!

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors are as good as placebo against major depression and, as you have noted, unsafe to use for longer periods. Some people find the emotional blunting effect of these drugs helpful while waiting for the depression to pass, but this merely suppresses one of the less disabling symptoms and does not counteract the condition. SSRIs are not anti-depressants.

Major depression recurred frequently for most of my life and I was suicidal in my 30s. I asked every physician and health professional I could find for advice and was willing to try just about any therapy or treatment. None of them were helpful in the slightest and after a particularly frustrating experience with a useless, hostile, and expensive psychiatrist I gave up on getting any assistance from the health industry.

Since no one was willing to help I needed to figure this out for myself. I read everything I could find about depression that was not overtly pseudoscientific or superstitious, including hundreds of anti-depressant drug trials of wildly varying quality and power. The breakthrough was realizing that major depression is not a disease or "mental illness"; it is in fact adaptive behaviour shared by all mammals which has become maladaptive in humans due to our modern environments and societal interactions being so far removed from the ones our species evolved in.

Mammals cannot prosper under chronically stressful conditions, e.g. many predators or much stronger rivals in our local environment. Chronic stress from such fears and concerns is what triggers the depression, which alters our behaviour primarily by suppressing dopaminergic pathways. This shuts down normal motivated behaviour like the drive to explore our environment or find a mate and makes us stay at home where we feel safest, recuperating as if sick or injured. This is adaptive because it takes the mammal away from the sources of stress. With environmental stress sources gone the depression will slowly pass, and after a while the mammal is ready to leave its nest, making another attempt at living in its natural environment.

Depression has become maladaptive in modern humans because many of our sources of stress are abstract and long-term concerns that cannot be evaded by staying at home in bed: we worry about losing our source of employment, armed conflicts in neighbouring countries, global warming, and how our stock portfolio is doing. Many human disorders (e.g. anxiety) also predispose us to chronic stress and therefore depression. In my case the root cause turned out to be undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. I can now manage my depression quite well, but I have had to make large sacrifices – like avoiding most normal social interaction – to achieve this.

You may be able to find the solutions you seek if you can learn the reasons why you are depressed.

Of course divorce can be positive! My parents divorced in my late teens and it was hugely beneficial for me since it meant I could live with my mother and entirely avoid the very stressful daily conflicts with my father.

Lockdowns were never an option because the Swedish constitution guarantees free movement for citizens; the government cannot legally enforce a lockdown. The lack of lockdowns was not a result of "following the science", but rather a non-decision dictated by existing policy.

Scientific fraud is deeply immoral because it has the potential to subvert our sapience, harming our ability to act rationally and morally. Such behaviour is criminal from basic principles of justice and human laws should reflect that.

Lapsus in German and Swedish.

Whatever it is you are experiencing it is definitely not cortisone, which is an inactive metabolite of cortisol.

I am still waiting on ≈45 minute software builds a few times a week and am constantly annoyed by slow-loading web sites. I don't expect computers to get fast enough "to not make a difference" for daily tasks in my lifetime.

Marabou chocolate is of mediocre quality at best. Chocolate from the other large Swedish confectionery manufacturer, Cloetta, is even worse and on par with Cadbury. I usually buy imported Dutch or Swiss chocolate.

I switched to pipewire from plain ALSA last year and configured pipewire-pulse because there was one game I wanted to play which insisted on PulseAudio. I got audio to work for that particular game but since I don't need pipewire-pulse for anything else I likely won't notice if it breaks. I found the documentation lacking and configuration difficult, but it's still early days for pipewire and it is clearly an improvement over ALSA.

Yes, the university library is where I would try to find a publishing solution that could remain after I am dead and all my online accounts expire.

GitHub is not a viable solution; Microsoft can not be trusted to keep these important cultural artifacts safe and accessible in the near future.

If it was a tool for commerce you would expect them to appear all over the old Roman empire and especially in Italy but according to the article they are only ever found in the northwestern parts of Europe. Also, if the purpose was validating currency the holes would need some markings indicating which hole matches what coin, wouldn't they?

Sun protection factor 7 is quite a lot; it means only one seventh of the UV rays reach the skin, which is less than 15 percent.

I advise my users to never reply to spam, doing so proves the address is valid and messages read which will encourage the spammers to send even more crap. I tried content filtering to deal with spam in the past but do not at all these days because false positives are not acceptable to me. If my mail server accepts a message it always gets delivered to a mailbox and never to /dev/null.

The only effective way I have found of dealing with spam is to add the mail servers they use to relay their trash to an IP blacklist and reject future messages from those servers. That means some legitimate mail will bounce, but that is acceptable because those senders are notified of the delivery issue and can try to send again using a less shady service provider.

I can't view the site due to a cloudwall and thought it was about Hurricane Pam until I read the comments here.

64-bit support was added in Dwarf Fortress 0.43.05, released in July 2016.

You might be thinking of "Zen of Assembly Language" or "Zen of Code Optimization" by the brilliant Michael Abrash. I own the latter and in addition to plenty of low-level code optimization advice for the microprocessors available at the time it also includes timer code for DOS that lets you measure code performance with high precision.

This is surprising to hear since SDL has never been an issue for me and I have been playing every version as soon as they are released for many years. Is it something that affects the Mac version (which I have never tried)?
