Are these marks the precursor to writing?
A series of notches carved on a piece of mammoth ivory roughly 40,000 years ago could be an early ancestor of cuneiform, one of the oldest-known forms of written language. “These sign sequences go beyond decoration that was aesthetically pleasing to particular individuals,” says linguist Christian Bentz.

Allegations of a Chinese nuclear blast may reignite weapons testing
In the afternoon on 22 June 2020, a seismic station in eastern Kazakhstan registered two small earthquakes 12 seconds apart near China’s Lop Nur nuclear test site. Closely spaced jolts can arise from underground explosions followed by a cavity collapse, or simply from earthquakes. But U.S. officials this month asserted the shaking was from a clandestine nuclear detonation—

i'll figure out what's going on with ls tomorrow, but i think it's either not MB/MiB confusion, or not just that confusion. all i know is the total number makes no sense and it's off by a rather large amount
リモートのポストのだいたいの到達時刻はMastodonではstatuses.updated_atカラムに記録されてるっぽくて、created_atとの差がだいたい、リモートのSidekiqが拾って配達してローカルのPumaが受け取るまでにかかった時間なんだろうなあと想像してます。リモートのキューが短くてSidekiqのスレッド数が多いほど短時間になりそう。

People cannot be trusted to use "megabyte" as a word. Too many people use it to refer to 1024 and not to the correct SI meaning of "mega."
This can be solved by introducing "kidi," "medi," "gidi," and so forth meaning "kilo (decimal)," "mega (decimal)" and so forth. These new prefixes are completely synonymous with kilo, mega, giga, and so forth, but have the advantage that sloppy developers from the 80s haven't misused them yet.

市民農園をトータル6年やってみた感想なんだけど、1年目はたぶん前年使ってた人の化成肥料が効いててとりきれないほど育つんだけど2年目からは有機肥料だけでは場所次第。元の土が良くなければ3年目にはタネを撒いても芽も出なくなる。雑草や芝がどんどん優位になってさつまいもすらまともに育たなかった。上手な人が毎日のようにお世話すれば違うんだろうけど週一回しか行けない状況では無理だった。だから肥料の輸入がもし止まったら各自が家庭菜園したってそんなにうまくいかないと思う。
