Global surge in ultra-processed foods sparks urgent health warning
Ultra-processed foods are rapidly becoming a global dietary staple, and new research links them to worsening health outcomes around the world.ScienceDaily
We had a new sail made and cut the old one into panels, a few were bad, some were good, we gave some away to friends on other boats, and we'll reuse some for various projects.
I needed a liner for my backpack[1], and dacron is the perfect material for that!

I implemented @neauoire@merveilles.town 's Rejoice, in Perl for some reason 😀
This was attempt like 3? I vaguely remember reading a Moore quote about "writing, rewriting, and rewriting again". I follow that advice religiously
I absolutely hate writing parsers, and yet invariably end up having to write a parser. This is probably the best one I've done but its still a bit of a mess!
The only difference I can spot between my implementation and the UXN one is that mine can't differentiate between [x x x] and x^3 (it always uses the latter). This means that things like [ .x .x .x ] will only print a single x (I'm not sure what the intended behaviour is for that case anyway tbh?)
Ah yeah that makes sense, it feels a lot more intuitive that way
Ooh I didn't even think about optimisations. Do you mean that x^10 'y/x would become y^10/x^10? (i.e., from an anonymous label draining x, to a fraction producing y^10)
Its crazy that "optimising a program" could just be "simplifying fractions"

Obama made a decision to “look forward” rather than prosecute the architects of the GWB torture program.
That kind of impunity can seem expedient, but it’s morally offensive and bad for democracy.
If Dems should find their way back to power (?), the criminality of Trump and Co. will need to be prosecuted. Political (democratic) legitimacy demands it.
One possibility is outsourcing. Hand perps over to the international courts and let them mete out justice.

Joy Mastodon, resplendent in her garden today, sends best wishes to all her fellow #plushtodon souls.
Need more pictures of #plushtodon to improve mental health (#blåhaj will also do).
One of my favorite things about Mastodon is clicking through to people's profiles and exploring their personal blogs.
It's rare to find someone without a site, and it's always a delight to discover their obsessions, their diverse interests, and the unique ways they've designed their own spaces.
So, @exquisitecorp sent me this graphic design book A Co-Program For Graphic Design, in it were a few pages about Hilbert, Peano, and briefly mentioning Formulario Mathematico, a book written in Giuseppe's own simplified Latin. His work has been on my mind lately as I try to design a kind of standard notation to use across all my notes hoping to standardize multiple topic-specific notations into just one style.
Regardless, as I was clumsily trailing Peano's footsteps, I came across this video[1], giving me the idea to try and translate some of the Rejoice examples into Peano's Latino Sine Flexione, as a kind of.. homage? Zoom forward a few days, a hundred hours of Latin youtube, nearly breaking Arch installing Latin dictionaries, I might have gone beyond just translating examples..

21 years ago, Linus Torvalds launched Git, and now he's more famous for it than Linux. Who knew? 🤯
#linux #git #opensource
Still, I prefer #Fossil fossil-scm.org and fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/…
Git provides file versioning services, whereas Fossil adds an integrated wiki, ticketing & bug tracking, embedded documentation, tech notes, a forum, and a chat, all within a single nicely-designed web UI, protected by an access control system. These capabilities are available for Git as 3rd-party add-ons, but with Fossil they are integrated to the point that it approximates "GitHub-in-a-box."
