이게 또 재밌는 얘긴데, 민간어원은 율리우스 카이사르가 그 수술로 태어났기 때문에 Caesarean section이라 부른다고 한다. 헌데 그것을 따르면 "제왕절개"는 오역이다. 여기서 Caesar는 로마 황제가 아니라, 왕도 황제도 아니었던 율리우스 개인을 가리키기 때문이다. 한편 자궁 절개 수술은 당시 산모에게 100% 치명적이어서 산모가 죽었거나 곧 죽을 지경이 아니면 안 했고, 율리우스 카이사르의 어머니 아우렐리아가 출산 후 한참 동안 잘 살았다는 점을 보면 민간어원은 틀린 것으로 보인다...

한국농인LGBT+가 성소수자에 대한 자긍심을 담은 ‘대안 수어’를 국립국어원 수어 사전에 올려 달라는 취지의 캠페인에 나섰습니다. 국립국어원이 최근 새로 개설한 ‘한국수어누리사전’에 성소수자 관련 용어를 전혀 포함하지 않았기 때문입니다.

Had no idea vim/Neovim has so much mindshare now. It's a total of 33% vs VS Code with 74% https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#most-popular-technologies-new-collab-tools-prof
The entire chart adds up to more than 100% so developers apparently responded with multiple tools, but wow.
今年もマイナンバーカードなしで家からオンラインで日本の確定申告を完了した。これ、マイナンバーカードのキャンペーンでますます目立たない申告方法になりつつあるが、カードやリーダーをもってなくても、e-taxのユーザーアカウントさえ持っていれば申告できるんだぜー。こうすると当たり前だが、銀行口座をマイナンバーと紐づける必要はない。

I'm doing MC/DC testing for my software engineering class homework and it's really satisfying.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_condition/decision_coverage
it's important that references are still checked in unsafe code. that is, adding unsafe blocks to existing code doesn't change the meaning of that code at all. it gives you access to new things. that those new things aren't checked is important, of course, but that it's a superset matters
that is, even this isn't turning off the check. the check still happens, you've just violated one of the axioms the check depends upon but it's also deeper than that

Friends I once knew now drift through neon valleys beyond our reach. In that eternal synthwave sunset, they've found peace among geometric mountains and digital stars. I sometimes glimpse them when the light hits just right. They dance through pixel rain and retrowave streams, their laughter echoing across dimensions. In that glowing forever, they remember us as we remember them—across the distance, connected still.

All 550 of VOA’s contract status reporters, editors, videographers, engineers and techs just notified they’re terminated effective end of this month. We don’t distinguish internally between them and regular staff — all are highly skilled and absolutely critical to the operation.
In the fediverse, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the earnestposters, who produce insightful engaging quality content; and the shitposters, who do not. These are their stories.

I don’t wanna be hyperbolic, but it feels like Siri has had essentially zero meaning meaningful improvements in about 10 years. Am I wrong?
It seems like it was embarrassingly bad in 2016 and is about as bad now. The best thing that happened to it was Shortcuts, but that isn’t really Siri.

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

"A duet between two cranes on a building site. They can’t touch (their movements are controlled by the operator), but when the sun rises they hope that their shadows will cross." ❤️
This is the most disgusting form of ‘disappearing’ - of the extermination of memory.
This is no different from Holocaust denial.

I am a bit confused. In this example from the standard library, doesn't adapt_datetime_epoch immediately stomp on adapt_datetime_iso, making the first call to register_adapter with datetime.datetime a no-op? Am I missing something obvious here? https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#adapter-and-converter-recipes

“The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.” Here’s yet another brilliant feature by 
@DaojoanJA Westenberg. “The fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes.

A bit more context for those who don't knit or know much about QR codes: A knitting pattern consists of a lot of text (and in this case, also a chart) so it's not feasible to encode the pattern itself into a QR code small enough to fit on a mitten. Compare these two QR codes. One is 25x25, and one is 29x29. The bigger one points to the actual URL for the mitten pattern (https://www.web-goddess.org/mittens.php), while the smaller one is using the goo.gl shortener to redirect to that same URL. I had to switch to a much thinner wool to knit the QR code at a resolution that would fit on the mitten (and would actually scan), so I needed the shortest URL/smallest code that would fit. In retrospect, I shouldn't have trusted Google. Lesson learned!
@web_goddessKris Howard Did you see this post from 
@EdentTerence Eden about how you can make a QR code shorter (hence chunkier) if you make all the letters in the URL upper case? https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/02/why-are-qr-codes-with-capital-letters-smaller-than-qr-codes-with-lower-case-letters/
