so, I just encountered a small item claiming that a comet symbol, a circle with three radiating lines indicating the tail, has been used as a non-binary system
I've never encountered this before, although it sounds cool, and almost like a symbol I'd adopt for myself (although for slightly different reasons)
anyone seen it? #askmastodon

Making a sign-up page is on my to-do list. One day we'll have a federated thing with moderated signups built in. One day...

Hello witches ✨
I am still learning how to work with crystals and was wondering if you had any recommandations of crystals to work with in summer. Maybe to boost energy, protect oneself from the heat or simply connect with this beautiful period. Thanks and blessed be.
Boosts are appreciated.
am I the only C programmer who HATES the common practice of cramming lots of conditions into a "for" statement because it's more compact?
simple "for" loops for me only, please. anything more complicated probably should be implemented with a different loop structure anyway.
...That would get my attention! XD

OK, think I've come up with a clever way to keep bits of information in a method less likely to get lost or damaged than other ideas I've thought of
you can get spiral-bound index cards, 3 x 5 cards attached to a perforated margin so they can be kept in a little notebook, only the pages are index cards
you rip them out later and file them
it's _just_ about as big a thing as I can carry in my pocket, and because it's index card stock it's less flimsy than a paper notebook
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics isn't a hashing function, the nature of a hashing function requires some discarding of information in many cases (as you can't fit it in a set number of bits) but neither the 2nd law or hashing truely discarding info, hash discards it from the perspective of the computer that information is dumped into the universe, but in the case of entropy once information is created it can't be destroyed, the 2nd law is more Stegography than hash.
Honestly why do any games even have life systems anymore?

really I should just start figuring out how to host a Matrix server or something
I kinda want to read this paper and poke around the differential equations, looking for regimes of chaotic behavior.
btw the author is my father :p

how does one set up on PeerTube exactly?

the way I _had_ been doing things, until real life interrupted me, was simply to stream through YouTube, supply background images to my audio by various simple means, and then make up playlists for the resulting videos
it was a simple system but crude, and I want to eliminate using YouTube
if nothing else I want a better place to stream through. Ustream.tv, maybe? what do people prefer around here?
ok where should I start hosting audio streams (story readings etc.) instead of YouTube
I should set up proper podcast hosting somehow
