@dce@hashnix.club I switched over to following you on Gopher, because why not. 😅

Hahaha, I’m sure there were well over one thousand fireflies today! Basically at all times I could watch at least 15 of them around me. At better spots where one could see a few meters into the forest, there were easily 30 individuals, probably more. One even landed on my small finger. I didn’t feel anything at all, but my finger glowed. :-) Awwww! After a 20 meters ride it took off.

But it looks like I have to go already at 21:30 at sunset the next days. Today, I left the house at 22:00 and all the above happend in the first half. The second half of the walk was rather boring, maybe just around 70 glowworms in total. The extremely busy route yesterday was virtually dead this time I came around. They all have already gone to sleep, or something like that.

I also encountered two toads. I nearly stepped on the first one, but it luckily jumped to the side in time. No animals harmed.

@bender@twtxt.net Sure! 👍

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net No right click thing, but in the terminal:

convert -strip -quality 70 -resize 300x original.jpg resized.jpg

“original.jpg” being the filename of the input file and “resized.jpg” the filename of the output. You can play around with the width, “300x” means 300 pixels wide and the height is determined automatically to still remain in the same ratio. The quality is how much to compress it. The closer to 0 the value gets, the worse the result, but also smaller in file size. More towards 100 and the quality improves together with a larger file size.

You have to install the package “imagemagick” for this to work, I believe.

Episódio estranho num táxi em Coimbra. Entrei depois de sair do comboio, e o taxista disse-me logo que tinha de pagar em dinheiro porque não tinha MB. Tudo ok, vamos lá. Quando chegámos ao destino, situação bem estranha:

– Ora bem, são 6.70€
– Ok, vou é precisar de fatura
– Ah não, fatura não tenho
– Como assim?
– Não posso passar fatura
– OK, então temos um problema porque eu tenho de declarar a despesa
– Amigo não lhe posso fazer nada, se não quiser não pague
– o_O como? É assim?
– Pois, se quiser não pague e vá à sua vida
– Ok, uma boa tarde para o senhor
– Boa tarde

O senhor não foi nada mal-educado, simplesmente encolheu os ombros. E eu lá fui à minha vida, sem pagar.

i am wondering if maybe i need a better heap like a btree backed one instead of just list sort on Dequeue.

I found a bug where i didnt include an open/closed list that seemed to shave off a little. right now it runs in about 70 seconds on my machine.. it takes over the 300s limit when it runs on the testrunner on the same box.. docker must be restricting resources for it.

I might come back to it after i work through improving my code for day 23. Its similar but looking for the longest path instead of shortest.

I finally got my gopherhole to mirror my site, mostly - gopher://oh.mg:70/1

there was a connection between one of the guys who wrote the first pickup advice in the 70s, and general semantics. i could investigate

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “How does one interpret those numbers? Does it mean that people usually died at about 30 years or is that really an average, meaning lots of children died but those who survived still reached something like 70 years?” -> It’s the mean, so there is a lot of bias in there w/r to infant mortality. I don’t know about median age of death.

It absolutely shocked me when, in a documentary about their history, Kurt refered to Information Society as ‘disco’, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense: the early 80s was right next to the late 70s, literally.

The best argument against the idea that AI will replace programmers wholesale is the relative unpopularity of prolog. As an industry, we don’t take advantage of fantastic automation tech from the 70s, and instead write Java.
