I'm working on a Instagram Import refactor!

It's a huge improvement, here are some highlights:

- One-click "delete existing import" to remove existing imported posts
- Imported posts are now public instead of unlisted
- We now support all media formats (video too)
- Auto import mode
- Optional archived post import
- Optional self comment import
- Optional public story import
- Optional follower discovery
- Optimized backend processing
- Intelligent Incremental Updates

Die Antwort auf die Wahl zwischen einem Feiertag weniger und noch mehr Arbeiten lautet:

Tax the rich!

Lehnt diese Bullshit-Fragestellung ab! Es ist ein Manöver zur Ablenkung von der Notwendigkeit einer Vermögens- & Erbschaftssteuer.

What I'm listening to today: "Crumb Snatchers", MF Grimm

This *incredibly* hardcore 2005 album is an attempt to reconstruct a 1994 debut rap album that got shelved after a shooting left Grimm temporarily unable to see or speak, and permanently in a wheelchair. From there Grimm's career threads erratically through underground rap and comics; notably he was a very early collaborator/booster/roommate of MF DOOM but apparently that artistic relationship ended kinda badly.

What I'm listening to today: "Hush the Crowd", J-LIVE

This 2003 track was, I think?, recorded while the artist was trying to balance a rap career with working as a public school English teacher, and is basically an anthem for the frustrated artist, or maybe a lovesong to their fans. I am currently in the process of winding down a game studio and the bit here beginning with "Besides, what's your options?" haunts me.

Plugged my rubidium frequency standard in again to check some stuff on the board, and this time I had the oscilloscope hooked up to the sinewave output during its startup phase. And it's neat, you can see it do the thing!

This module works by looking for the frequency of the hyperfine transition of rubidium atoms. It uses a lamp to shine microwave energy through a little glass cell that contains a vapour of rubidium atoms. A photodetector on the other side measures how much microwave energy makes it through the cell.

When the frequency of the emitted microwaves exactly matches the frequency of rubidium's hyperfine transition (a little over 6.8GHz) the rubidium atoms absorb a tiny amount of the light. This shows up as a minuscule dip in how much the photodetector sees. So, effectively, the "physics package" is a black box where you feed in a frequency of microwaves to generate, and you get back a signal that dips a tiny bit when the input frequency is bang on target.

The module uses a more ordinary (but still pretty fancy) 60MHz crystal oscillator to generate the input frequency to this "physics package". On startup, the module sweeps the oscillator through a range of frequencies around where the hyperfine transition should be, looking for that telltale dip in the output. When it finds the dip, it locks onto it and keeps the oscillator at exactly the frequency required to stay there. It now has an extremely precise 60.0000...MHz clock, which it can further divide by six to produce its lab-standard 10MHz reference sine wave.

And you can see this happen! During module startup, before it reports that it's locked on, the oscilloscope's frequency counter shows the sinewave output sweep back and forth multiple times from ~9.9990MHz to ~10.0005MHz, looking for the correct frequency. After a few minutes, the sweeps get narrower and slower, and finally stop on 10.0000MHz a few seconds before the "Locked" LED lights up.

I expect it's even more impressive when you have a better frequency counter with more digits, it must be extremely satisfying to see the increasingly tiny fractions slowly get nudged towards a perfect zero.

縁もゆかりも無いパソコンでインターネットしても知り合いが書いたQiitaが出てきたりするからインターネットって案外狭いなと思うよね。

Einen schönen Guten Morgen! 😀 👋

Zum heutigen ein kleines, herzförmiges Fensterchen, durch das ein niedlicher Bewohner herausspäht. So gesehen im Wildpark "Schwarze Berge" in der niedersächsischen Gemeinde Rosengarten südlich von Hamburg.

"The internet is full of smart people writing beautiful prose about how bad everything is, how it all sucks, how it’s embarrassing to like anything, how anything that appears good is, in fact, secretly bad. I find this confusing and tragic, like watching Olympic high-jumpers catapult themselves into a pit of tarantulas." experimental-history.com/p/28-

URGENT fediblock, immediate full suspension, MAPS/CSAM

Recommend immediate full suspension against cutiepaws dot org for CGI child pornography. They're new (domain registered April) and _incredibly yikes_. DNI, DNR, DNV. Admins should also immediately purge all cached data.

Receipts SUPER NOT INCLUDED because holy shit no, you just have to take my word on it.

Also they're spamming the Overwatch tag with their shit so if any of you on the tag are on instances not keeping up on their fediblock lists, you should block the entire domain immediately for your own protection.

So Autechre released a new set of clothes merch, possibly for their new tour? but you can buy it on their website, and I'm excite because they went out of their way to include girl-cut options

autechre.warp.net/merchandise?

I have information to suggest they did this specifically because they saw ppl complaining on the Internet about "unisex" meaning "boy" and tried to correct

They have a girl cut T shirt, and one of their hoodie options is kinda a crop top hoodie which looks potentially super cute

Dumb trick:

Have a bunch of files open in multiple windows and want to jump to the first (or last) line in all of them?

:windo 1

or

:windo $

and done.

If you use tabs instead of windows, you could use :tabdo instead.

or you can jump to the next instance of /pattern/ in all open windows/tabs with

:windo /pattern
:tabdo /pattern

or the first/last (assuming you have 'wrapscan' set) with

:windo $/firstpattern
:windo 1?lastpattern
