Now that I think of it, duh!

"EU-Linux:" Petition calls for the implementation of an EU-Linux operating system in public administrations across all EU countries in c/[email protected]

Yeah. The EU endorsing and preferentially using OSS is a good concept, but there should be way less specifics in there.

Russian lemmurs of lemmy, has xenophobia hit you? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

I mean, I'm guessing it's not going to be as bad as during the Cold War, and even back then they were white and there were plenty who settled in North America and contributed their 1/32 of ancestry, so I'm not aware of much stigma here.

If you wanted to dial-down our incessant breeding without getting lynched, how would you do it? in c/[email protected]

Yes, false premise here.

It would seem that children were never that popular; sex just was.

Continue making condoms accessible.

I don't know if you've heard, but birth rates are crashing, and we're actually more at risk of population collapse in the coming centuries.

I'm 100% sure that's not it - mealworms have hard segments, that looks fleshy.

Well, you're actually guaranteed to get less food out than in. Insect farming is only a LPT if you have something we can't eat to feed them, or are a bodybuilder who needs more protein than you can feasibly get from plants.

Which is the worst to deal with, in your opinion?

If there is one, they're lying.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's not gross, at least subjectively, though.

The parasitic ones (well, parasitoid since they live free as adults) are very different, sometimes literally microscopic, and never harmful to humans AFAIK.

Gruesomely fascinating and widely studied, though. Relevant recent XKCD.

‘Nuclear clock’ breakthrough paves the way for super-precise timekeeping (www.nature.com)

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Netanyahu not doing enough to secure Gaza hostage deal, says Biden (www.bbc.com)
 

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

Just watched this and thought it was dope. I especially liked the Roman buffets and Foreman grills.

I just watched Roman support on WIRED and it was dope, but it's not a meme.

People new to federation are wandering elsewhere. If the logged-in screen is anything like what I see as a guest, I'm not surprised. I found this through my own instance's search feature.

Is there a precedent for a really delay-tolerant command line interface? (A bit off-topic) (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I've been playing with an idea that would involve running a machine over a delay-tolerant mesh network. The thing is, each packet is precious and needs to be pretty much self contained in that situation, while modern systems assume SSH-like continuous interaction with the user.

Has anyone heard of anything pre-existing that would work here? I figured if anyone would know about situations where each character is expensive, it would be you folks.
