> This mod adds mainly one thing with vast ramifications: a system for calculating the stress-strain curve of metals in the game. If you arent familiar with stress-strain curves consider getting a Materials Science Engineering degree or looking at this wikipedia article (whichever one is cheaper and less soul draining).

i love vintage story mods

Joined and Bsky on the same evening. Made basically the same intro post on both.

Woke to 67 followers on , several encouraging responses, and tons of faves/shares on intro post.

Bluesky: 1 follower, 1 reply, 5 faves, zero reposts.

Pretty evident where the real community is, wouldn't you say?

Thank you for the warm welcome! ❤️

Oh yes 😥 … prepare for that stupid world…

ploum.net/2025-12-19-prepare-f

Another great reading from @ploum
Although (imho) "stupid" should appear in the last line again :
"And the best advice about it is that you should probably prepare for that [stupid] world."

I didn’t set foot outside today.

I stayed in to keep my wife company while she recovers from the flu. She’s definitely doing better, but not quite enough to feel comfortable going out yet.
Even though I spent a lot of time at the computer and she was in bed, I’d pop in every now and then to chat.
The day flew by faster than expected, and it was definitely worth it.

A relaxing Saturday.

練字 - 冬至 Winter Solstice

邯鄲冬至夜 by 白居易

邯鄲驛里逢冬至，抱膝燈前影伴身。
想得家中夜深坐，還應說著遠行人。

Gemini 3과 함께 리눅스 커널 코드를 탐험하고 있다. vdso gettimeofday와 time이 어떻게 구현이 다른지 궁금해서 찾아보고 있다. 물론 더 깊이 알 시간은 없겠지만, LLM이 아니었다면 이런 걸 들여다볼 생각조차 하지 못했겠지.

Ouch! The most accurate standard of time in the USA has gone down!

Yup, a bunch of atomic clocks at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado may have lost power - and just to be safe, NIST has stopped broadcasting the time.

It's like someone took this "end times" business too literally.

Luckily NIST has other atomic clocks... and if those fail, there are plenty elsewhere, so we won't permanently lose track of time. But what about right now?

Anyone know the latest news? This report is from 5:18 pm December 19th, Pacific Standard Time:

lists.nanog.org/archives/list/

but if more news shows up, it may appear here:

groups.google.com/a/list.nist.

Dear colleagues, In short, the atomic ensemble time scale at our Boulder campus has failed due to a prolonged utility power outage. One impact is that the Boulder Internet Time Services no longer have an accurate time reference. At time of writing the Boulder servers are still available due a standby power generator, but I will attempt to disable them to avoid disseminating incorrect time. The affected servers are: time-a-b.nist.gov time-b-b.nist.gov time-c-b.nist.gov time-d-b.nist.gov time-e-b.nist.gov ntp-b.nist.gov (authenticated NTP) No time to repair estimate is available until we regain staff access and power. Efforts are currently focused on obtaining an alternate source of power so the hydrogen maser clocks survive beyond their battery backups. More details follow. Due to prolonged high wind gusts there have been a combination of utility power line damage and preemptive utility shutdowns (in the interest of wildfire prevention) in the Boulder, CO area. NIST's campus lost utility power Wednesday (Dec. 17 2025) around 22:23 UTC. At time of writing utility power is still off to the campus. Facility operators anticipated needing to shutdown the heat-exchange infrastructure providing air cooling to many parts of the building, including some internal networking closets. As a result, many of these too were preemptively shutdown with the result that our group lacks much of the monitoring and control capabilities we ordinarily have.

While it's cool and good that a bunch of mathematicians are experimenting with proof assistants, I'm very confident that one of the biggest consequences is that 20 years in the future, it will finally be sufficiently understood how to write a dependent typechecker, and a bunch of mathematicians are going to learn the hard way the meaning of the term "technical debt"

The Shrinking Freedom of Indian Cinema.

Are Westerners aware of the creeping progress of gleichschaltung under Hindu-Nationalist rule?

Warning: The same forces are here now.

The Shrinking Freedom of Indian Cinema

The country’s film board has demanded over 120 cuts to Honey Trehan’s ‘Panjab ’95.’ His ordeal is a stark warning for an entire industry
