git push origin --delete branch_name

What I use this for: some of my repositories have enough branches on them, but I don't want to delete them locally.

I had given some attention to an old project for an old game server that is no longer online.

I had added:

  • 2 new sql(lite3) queries
  • a python script
  • some edits to a C program

The database pertains to racing in a video game. For a given map, a player can have a score and a velocity; the server only tracks the best 'n' records and the highest velocity.

The results can be seen at:

Thinking about Lojbanic Futhark (Anglo-Saxon). Futhark does not have 'c' and 'v' which Lojban requires; however, 'th' and 'w' can be repurposed.

(I can't come up with a good example for Lojbanic 'y' because I pronounce the 'a' in "sofa" and the 'a' in "father" similarly.)

Unusual reporting between online outlets regarding this story. Some articles claim she is a California woman while others claim she is a Florida woman.

Florida woman Alexis Lorenze has a history of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). She was admitted to UCI Medical Center in California for treatment.

tuxmain writes about cryptographic ring signatures and the mathematics behind them.

bLSAG ring signatures

Here will be introduced bLSAG, which has the property of enabling the detection of multiple distinct signatures emitted by the same person. In our example of a jury, we want indeed to ensure nobody voted twice, a voté deux fois.

Une version française ici.

Signature en anneau bLSAG

Sera présenté ici bLSAG, qui a la propriété de permettre de détecter le cas où deux signatures auraient été émises par la même personne. Dans l'exemple du jury, on s'assure ainsi que personne n'a voté deux fois.

Minetest: Digilines Ice & Drink Machine

scuti builds a drink machine in Minetest which has an unintended effect of creating infinite buckets.

I wrote a userspace driver for a very old pen tablet (Hanvon Graphicpal 0504) and used it to scribble in Krita.

No AI involved in the making of aforementioned doodle (or pen tablet driver).

"Exposure to Aluminum, Cadmium, and Mercury and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" by Rosalind Sulaiman, Meng Wang, and Xuefeng Ren

https://sci-hub.st/https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.chemrestox.0c00167

(Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal that is used as an adjuvant in vaccines.)

"Do aluminum vaccine adjuvants contribute to the rising prevalence of autism?" by Lucija Tomljenovic and Christopher A Shaw

https://sci-hub.st/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22099159/


I had read of the case of Hannah Poling, a girl whose family in 2010 filed an autism claim in "federal vaccine court" and won.

For years, federal health agencies and professional organizations had reassured the public that vaccines didn't cause autism. Now, with DHHS making this concession in a federal claims court, the government appeared to be saying exactly the opposite. Caught in the middle, clinicians were at a loss to explain the reasoning behind the VICP's decision.
New England Journal of Medicine,

The case is also reported by CBS news.

https://archive.is/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/family-to-receive-15m-plus-in-first-ever-vaccine-autism-court-award/

"Vaccines cause autism" is a claim that is heavily antagonized by The Mainstream as "anti-science" or "misinformation". A cursory search on a mainstream search engine often leads to headlines that cites a doctor whose license has been revoked but doesn't address the entire breadth or depth of suspicions. I had my results change drastically when "heavy metals" were added to the keywords.

"Hey, can I take a picture of your shirt?"

"Sure!"

The shirts given out at LayerOne had two variations. The staff shirts were green while the attendee shirts were dark blue. The graphic design on the shirts have a sequence in hex which can be decoded into a message that was part of a game within the event.

When asked about the hex sequence, the staff will generally say, the codes are the same or that the shirts are the same except for the colors which is correct but not in the way they expected.

Me assembling the badge for Layer One 2024.

This year's badge was a programmed fidget spinner with a row of lights. When spun, the lights would display text such as "HACK THE PLANET" depending on the mode set by pressing the button. However, the middle part had to be broken off, and I wanted to keep the whole thing intact.

My favorite effect was the rotations per minute counter.

I wonder which GitHub repo did it rip the source code from, or if it was legitimately generated on the spot.

My friend gifted a video game, and I played it. The one named Sakuna is the protagonist. She grows rice and fights demons. The story and the music are good.

Some girl takes my unimpressive looking gift from the gifts table:

"Oh! It's Steam!"

(A Steam wallet card.)

"Ooh, Steam," a few others notice.

"... What's Steam?" the hostess says, looking a bit confused.

(I played white elephant.) Also what I got from a Christmas party:

  1. a soft blanket
  2. three bottles of alcohol (more than I can drink on my own)
  3. a card with Santa Claus on it
  4. a candy bag (not in photo, eaten)

Today, I read into yes/no questions. Since the community is small, it is reasonable to ask if there are active or online users.

https://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/sampli

https://jbovlaste.lojban.org/natlang/en/active

https://jbovlaste.lojban.org/natlang/en/idle

I couldn't find a definition for 'online'.

"lo sampli cu .akti."

(A user is active.)

"xu lo sampli cu .akti."

(Is a user active?)

'xu' is an interjection that indicates a question, so question marks are not necessary. 'xu' can be placed anywhere in a sentence.

"lo xu sampli cu .akti"

(Is any user active?)

"lo sampli xu cu .akti."

(Is it a user that is active?)

"lo sampli cu .akti xu."

(A user, is he or she active?)
