@grimalkinaCat Hicks I'm thinking about the paper "Notional Machines in Computing Education: The Education of Attention”
(which as far as I understand it is about how to design simplified models which highlight a specific aspect of a computer system)
Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:

and about the music: https://www.theransomnote.com/music/news/antipiracy-advert-music-was-stolen/

looking at some malware that has a string encryption routine and a string decryption routine
it encrypts a string and immediately decrypts it
the original string is there in the binary
(all these pairs of functions implement the same silly XOR algorithm in slightly different code. yes, i've lifted them to LLVM IR to check if they really do that. yes, they do)
#TIL about a window manager called #Herbstluftwm. (thanks, j!)
Herbstluftwm. it's german for "find your meta key", i believe.
something funny about about the terminal is how there are ALWAYS exceptions
like yesterday I said that the OS is in charge of sending signals when you press `Ctrl+C`, which is mostly true
BUT someone pointed out that if you use kitty, kitty has its own special mechanism for sending signals when you use a keyboard shortcut where it tries to guess the right PID to signal (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/cb490da9487089a09eb10a4edb1129e1bca08d52/kitty/child.py#L465-L481)
it always feels hard to explain why I still feel comfortable in such a chaotic environment
Today we released R-I-B-BI, which in addition to the two nuclear font families (4 + 4 styles), includes functionality to produce an infinite amount of new styles.

I'm getting Child A to help with some housework by getting them to beat the dust and sand out the hallway mat.
It's not child labour if they're enjoying themselves, right?

個人私事
盤點一下第一天不主動聽音樂 podcast 跟 YouTube 影片。
今天早上到下午戒斷症狀特別明顯，走在路上就想把耳機抓出來隨便放首歌，隔絕自己與這個世界。因為不能這麼做，其他感官似乎被放大了，觸覺、嗅覺、視覺、味覺受器不斷傳送訊息到中樞。也許是因為這些感受通常會被聽覺覆蓋，所有周圍的東西都變得特別清晰，我想這也是今天感到焦慮的原因之一。（今天沒有特別喝咖啡。）
到了晚上沉浸工作中，同樣暫時能舒緩焦慮，但一停止，所有感受會再度湧現上來。
今晚去河堤跑了今年第一次步。雖然跑不遠也不快，但在跑的當下意志力一直集中在下一盞路燈上，完全無暇焦慮。最神奇的是跑完之後，焦慮感好像就消失了，到現在還沒回來。（所以也許自己一大部分的心病是運動加上不過度刺激感官可以解決的事？有什麼科學根據嗎？）
洗完澡，現在躺在床上愜意地寫下這篇嘟文。明天的憂慮就留給明天吧。
大家晚安。

Assuming https://peps.python.org/pep-0773/ gets accepted, the Python Launcher for Unix is going to get a `py list` subcommand. One wrinkle is the automatic use of virtual environments in the Python Launcher for Unix. So I need to decide on a CLI flag to exclude virtual environments. That flag should be:

PSA: nick & I have created militant joy cards! Drawing from Joyful Militancy, the cards offer quotes, nudges, quips & reminders to help us tune into our collective capacities. There's no grand correspondence to elements or astrology in these cards -- they're militant, joyful & fun!🎴 they're nerdy af too. page numbers are included for each quote used and they're orgnized in 8 themes/categories...

小時候在吃飯前，會有個習慣
我會用拇指跟食指捏著一把空氣
然後像撒佐料一般對我的飯菜的施放「好吃魔法」🤏
有一次我在我媽剛煮好的飯菜上施放好吃魔法
結果被誤會我在惡作劇把灰塵放進食物裡在糟蹋食物，最後挨了頓揍
爾後，我的魔法就消失了
Fellow AI skeptics, please do not come into my mentions to yell at people describing their positive experiences with AI when I have explicitly solicited those experiences in order to achieve a better understanding. We cannot illustrate the poor balance of a cost-benefit ratio when we refuse to learn about the benefits, and it sure doesn't do our credibility any favors to be seen publicly *refusing* to even learn what the benefits are.
Oh gosh, it's true, you really can enter a completely nonsense phrase into Google, ask for its meaning, and lo and behold, Google's AI will make shit up.
So if you've ever wondered what "to grow an avocado, you have to slap the squirrel" means, now you know.

You can permanently set environment variables for your shell by putting them
in a startup file for the shell. The name of the startup file varies
depending on the shell - csh and tcsh uses .login, bash, sh, ksh and zsh use
.profile. When using bash, sh, ksh or zsh, don't forget to export the
variable.
Mastodon's imminent new age gate functionality will not count as "highly effective age assurance" for the purposes of the UK's #OnlineSafetyAct, because it relies on user-declared age.
And that's fine; not everything is about the UK or the OSA. But I know that someone will ask, so I'm getting in first!
@VE2UWYCome On Giant Asteroid! thankfully there's enough data here that it's fine. also things are not looking good for my hypothesis :)
