Some oddity 🤔

301 redirects can make the request change from POST to GET, depending on the client. 308 make sure a redirected POST stays a POST.

And, to be complete, you can replace POST in the previous paragraph by any non-GET operation (PUT, etc)

In 2018, a biologist wrote a paper based on the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Threshold" (one of the silliest episodes in Star Trek history) and submitted it to 10 open-access journals to expose their predatory practices:

"charging authors publication fees without providing the editorial services associated with legitimate journals, such as careful peer review and vetting of the paper's claims."

Four accepted the paper and one published it.

: You want to declarative configure your firefox but you have no idea what all those settings in about:config are and the web is not helpful?

You can just copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js to a temporary directory, change the setting in the Firefox UI and then diff the two files and voila, you got the key and value to write into your config.

Heavy water absorbs infrared instead of red light, so if you spend billions of dollars to fill a swimming pool with heavy water, it would look transparent and no longer be blue.

#til Die Verbindungen der GLS Bank zur #Anthroposophie

Die GLS Bank hat enge historische und ideelle Verbindungen zur Anthroposophie, auch wenn sie sich selbst nicht als "anthroposophische Bank" bezeichnet.

Anthroposophische Wurzeln

Die GLS Bank wurde 1974 von dem Anthroposophen Wilhelm Ernst Barkhoff gegründet.

Barkhoff wollte mit der Gründung der Bank anthroposophische Werte wie Nachhaltigkeit und ethisches Wirtschaften in die Praxis umsetzen.

Anthroposophische Mitarbeiter und Kunden

Viele Mitarbeiter und Kunden der GLS Bank haben einen anthroposophischen Hintergrund.

Anthroposophen schätzen die Bank wegen ihrer Ausrichtung auf ethische Geldanlagen und Nachhaltigkeit.

Finanzierung anthroposophischer Projekte

Die GLS Bank finanziert seit langem anthroposophische Einrichtungen wie Schulen, Altenheime und landwirtschaftliche Betriebe.

Es besteht eine enge Zusammenarbeit und Verbindung zu vielen anthroposophischen Initiativen und Unternehmen.

Obwohl die GLS Bank offen für alle Kunden ist, hat sie durch ihre Gründungsgeschichte und Ausrichtung deutliche Bezüge zur Anthroposophie. Diese Verbindungen prägen die Bank bis heute.

the verb mate ā-moa which means "to be exterminated, disappear, lost forever", or just simply "extinction".
mate itself just means 'dead', among other things (https://maoridictionary.co.nz/word/3845).

This is cool that the language adapted from a social/ecological thing (moa becoming extinct), and created a verb to explain it. So becoming dead like the moa is being dead forever, mate ā-moa. They probably didn't have a concept for it.

Intl.NumberFormat with compact notation doesn't work for thousands in German language.

E.g.: 10000 → 10.000 instead of "10 Tsd.". But, 10000000 → "10 Mio."

I guess "Tsd." doesn't really compact it much unlike English's "10K" 🤷‍♂️

Relevant research: https://github.com/dart-lang/i18n/issues/156#issuecomment-1513218006

@pixelcode @cheeaun Yes, I have the same impression. “Tsd.” feels outdated.
I guess most people would be able to parse it, but it’s not something you see in everyday use.

Instinctivement, j'aurai dit qu'ils atterrissaient pour la plupart en Californie (il y en a aussi).

#TIL The word “stan” is in the dictionary because of Eminem’s song “Stan”

ayo,
@ayo@ayco.io avatar

Personal opinion about Eminem. I think the darkness in his songs is a mirror of reality which no one has had the courage to speak of. He created personas fully knowing he, as the artist, will be taken quite literally but didn’t care. All reference to how Slim Shady was a worshipped celebrity is real for other celebrities. And Stan being an obsessive fan who neglects reality is all around us (and are us to a degree).
