"Follow your passion" is about as profound as a dog humping your leg.

Just appalled by my lack of curiosity, not checking the etymology of "autoclave" earlier:

autoclave (n.) "stewing apparatus the lid of which is kept closed and tight by the steam itself," 1847, from French (1821), literally "self-locking," from auto- "self" (see auto-) + clave, from Latin clavis "key" (from PIE root *klau- "hook").

(from etymonline.com/word/*klau- )

I'm sorry, it took *how* many servers to post a single long message from Ghost to 5k fediverse accounts and handle some replies?

@polotek @poswald It’s really easy to make mistakes in computing that make a massive difference in performance. For example a database query that runs inside a loop vs outside. And it’s easy to miss when your code runs once but becomes really obvious once it has to run multiple times per second. I would not make any assumptions about the protocol itself based on Ghost’s work in progress implementation.

I'm delighted to report that the stuffed Mastodon toys have arrived at the German warehouse at @ravioli. The ones going to the US warehouse are still in customs. I imagine we'll open the store once both have arrived, unless US customs takes unreasonably long...

Is there already a date, when version 30 will be distributed through the stable update repository? Up to now my #nextcloud 29 instance shows no new version available.

Or am I maybe missing something here?

What’s Up: October 2024 Skywatching Tips from NASA science.nasa.gov/solar-system/… #NASA #Skywatching #SkywatchingTips


Just finished this biography of George Beadle, written by Paul Berg and Maxine Singer. Rare to find a biography of an amazing scientist written by two other very accomplished scientists.

Lots of fascinating stories about early genetics research.

TIL about Euronet, a 1970s-80s internet experiment: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

"In the context of today’s global Internet, all of these past networks can be considered “lost events” in terms of Foucault—events in the history of computer networking which, unlike ARPANET or TCP/IP, do not have the present Internet as “a landmark or a point of reference” to which their histories can be meaningfully connected."
