I miss roller derby

@BillyGlennHoya I moved out of the city where the roller derby was and I never figured out where the roller derby is in the new city

@BillyGlennHoya (Note: I was never a contestant.)

@crzwdjk There is probably one nearby but I haven't figured out where it is, nor do I have a pre-existing stable of friends I can go to a roller derby game with so I'm not just sitting by myself in a corner reading ebooks

(Additionally, the WXYZ 7 News Detroit article linked in the first post will make you feel… not good about the American justice system.)

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.

@niconiconi scratching head I don't get it, my heavy-water pool is suffused with a sort of neon cyan glow. Is this expected?

@niconiconi It's where I keep my collection of cool rocks I found

Looking forward to enjoying a movie

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@onelson You know, if I think about it, every single one of my favorite movies does not contain a bigfoot

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@onelson I think one of my very favorite movies might contain a big foot but I'm not sure if it's ever clearly visible on screen. And anyway that is a different thing

honest opinion: people that need constant-time code should not be using a general-purpose programming language. emit assembly or write your own DSL https://fosstodon.org/@simo5/112554241913244159

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@wingo this is a compelling argument, but if we're going to do it like this then I need language package managers to allow me to incorporate libraries written by dj bernstein or whoever the people are who know how to set up DSLs that emit assembly, while giving me guarantees that i'm running on the magic djb assembly path and not compiling some thing that does whatever :(

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@wingo (…and if your language is C and it does not have a package manager… that's part of the test)

Turbulence

Microscopic image of particles and small cells swimming in all directions, a lot of them. Everything has a video delay so it leaves trails as it moves

@murilove Ohhhh…

Have you ever seen Bruce Conner's music video for "Mea Culpa" (David Byrne/Brian Eno)?

In Europe as in America there is this dizzying legal disconnect where neighboring states are either trying to protect or eliminate trans people. For example here we find the EU pondering* banning conversion therapy at the exact same time the government of Britain next door is forcibly detransitioning every trans minor in the country

@tthbaltazar Some of the news reports I have seen suggests Orban is trying to ease Hungary out of the EU. How accurate is this?

Gonna upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 24.04… expecting that, like everything else I have done on this laptop involving Ubuntu, I am going to regret this

@Victorsigmoid Thank you for this information

@oblomov i didn't even know i had this thing installed until ubuntu told me it was deprecating it. linux distros are so bad about communicating what they have bundled!

@confluency What is the difference between universe and sources.list?

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@nazokiyoubinbou @gizmomathboy @Lingmops on the other hand, 23.10 has excellent support for Wayland and all it did was demonstrate to me that Wayland is not ready for real use (at least in GNOME…)

For the last two years I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening to Today" links here. Mastodon has some problems with threads containing hundreds of posts, so I re-create the thread once a year.

If you'd like to see, here's my "year two" thread: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/110266770603341546

Or, alternately, every song from year two in the least practical format possible: A 301-song, 38-hour YouTube playlist (note: video #1 contains flashing):

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLIjft6ja7DM_kacOW8zo2vtr-aWpTNX6

And here's the thread for "year three":

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

What I'm listening to today: "Étude for Modular Synthesizer No. 1", Modular Beat

"Modular Beat" is a YouTube channel that posts near-daily modular experiments which, oddly, almost never contain beats. Here's a song that doesn't remotely sound like it was made on a modular synthesizer, an incredibly charming piano serenade backed by uncanny strings. The piano sounds incredibly human and acoustic but apparently is the result of a complex phasing algorithm (from a Norns).

GtkWave feels in a whole bunch of ways like a fossil of some earlier era of UI design, which partially means a bunch of minor frustrations but on the bright side means every time I boot it I get to look at this intro box

UPDATE: Yes… ha ha ha… yes!!!
