I just finished a piggy bank for my almost-two-year-old. It's made of solid oak, and opens with the correct 3 digit code. I designed the locking pins such that the code can easily be changed.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!



Did you know that #Germans have a LOT of #superstitions about #bread?

In the olden days, when bread was baked at home, bad luck would seep into the bread when one cursed while baking.

And if the loaf would be placed over the table's edge, sickness would soon enter the house.

A loaf placed upside down would sway, because the poor souls would try to turn it, & if the head of the house cut the bread crookedly, then he had just lied...

haha yeah that's the catch ๐Ÿ˜€

But no, you can make a soda bread (a traditional unyeasted bread) or offer the bread that failed to rise, but who knows what they'll think of that?



Putting all of my federated Threads accounts into a Mastodon list. And just like that, one of the benefits of Threads supporting the Fediverse is happening in real-time.

I now can view them all in one Mastodon list view TODAY, or add them to multiple lists TODAY, even while lists are a feature not yet here on Threads.

Fediverse Threads support for the win.

It's good to see the response from KDE is we fucked up, we know we fucked up, now we're going to start working on a solution, not "oh it's just a one off, it's not that big of a deal"

sometimes its not the issue or mistake or whatever that matters most to me ... its how its handled... I give credit (will see if they follow through) to KDE for this, versus what Canonical keeps doing with the malware in the snap store
in reply to Brodie Robertson

it is good theyโ€™re working on it. Paul Brownโ€™s answer is a bit disconnected. I feel from the user base and excessive, but it is very good they are talking about it. ๏ฟผ

The baffling intelligence of a single cellโ€ฆ This, long-read deep-dive into how a single e-coli cell uses chemotaxis to find its food is fascinating for those interested in #Biology and human #physiology.

Several of us overly online biologists spent years quietly doing an experiment on Twitter, trying to find out if tweeting about new studies from a set of mid-range journals caused an increase in later citations, compared to set of untweeted control articles.

Turns out we had no noticeable effect; the tweeted papers were cited at the same rate as the control set.

Our paper, headed by Trevor Branch, was published today in PLOS One:

KDE Global Themes Are Inherently Unsafe #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/2pQnfQDROes
in reply to Brodie Robertson

the fact that on modern Linux still every executable runs with all the permissions of the user is kinda baffling.

The permission system is developed for multi-user systems where users don't trust each other but trust the software. On modern PCs, we have mostly only one user, but a bunch of random executables that we shouldn't have to trust with our whole drives.

Time for the year of the BSD desktop, anyone? ๐Ÿ˜

Fully funded PhD project to work on current natural selection, evolution and demography in several populations of Albatrosses, with fieldwork in the subantarctic.

A French version of the project is here: univ-larochelle.fr/wp-content/โ€ฆ, but if you do not read French know that it is flexible anyway. I will post an English ad later.

Email me with any question if you may be interested.

Fossil stingray (Cyclobatis sp.)
Upper Cretaceous. Approximately 100.5 million to 66 million years ago. When alive, this creature lived in warm, shallow seas and had a very short tail, which was fitted with a venomous stinger. Discovered in Haqil, Byblos, Lebanon. It just happens to look like an ancient space alien. #science #fossil #archeology #evolution #photo #nature #biology #wildlife

I really enjoyed this Cup of Jo essay about the pleasure of coming back to childhood hobbies as an adult. I know Iโ€™ve mentioned this here before, but my own life transformed when I got back into what I loved as a kid (drawing!). kottke.org/24/03/on-returning-โ€ฆ

kids are a way into this -- working on Halloween costumes, school projects, etc., have restarted my love of all things crafty. not sure what direction that will take post-kid, but just feels good to use the muscles!

It occurred to me when visiting my parents there, how much living in The Villages resembles the rhythms of high school.
