Look at this clock. It’s a clock. I bought it once because I needed… a clock. It’s $29, which is totally reasonable for… a clock. Then it was Daylight Saving Time one day, and I went to update it, but… it was already updated. That’s because: The Atomic Time Feature conveniently allows the clock to sync with the WWVB radio transmission from Fort Collins, CO, for accurate time updates. That’s amazing? It listens to a radio signal and adjusts itself to the correct time, even during major time…

u/SnooSongs6758 asked on r/golang: I’m creating a REST API using Golang v1.25, Gin v1.10.0, and Validator v10.20.0. I have a PATCH endpoint where, when the address attribute is: undefined -> keep the original data null -> delete the original data contains something -> replace the original data with the new Right now I’m using a pointer for it, so I can know when it’s null. The problem is that I couldn’t find a way to differentiate when the attribute is undefined or null. Does anyone know a way…

Last week I enjoyed following the Nobel Prize announcements in Physiology or Medicine, Physics, and Chemistry. Reading the popular accounts behind the science is enjoyable, as they are well-written and accessible. Here are a few things I found interesting.I found the Physics prize a bit surprising. On the one hand, the creativity and vision needed to construct the IceCube neutrino observatory is beautiful and impressive. They have clearly detected high-energy neutrinos, and there is potential…

lordsausage:shoutout to the words “overmorrow” and “ereyesterday”. english losing these words was stupid. “the day after tomorrow” “the day before yesterday” clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i’m bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it

Came up with a quick one for all those intensely interesting situations where a Brave or Foolish Player decides they are really willing to interact with the environment in the time-honored tradition. So, here’s a list of potential effects when they decide they want to “drink the goo,” “kiss the statue,” “deface the altar,” or otherwise meddle with things where a high degree of Risk and Reward might lie. For those who want a bit more weighing than one in one hundred, I’ve endeavored to keep the…

The Cache la Poudre River flows through the Poudre River Canyon near Fort Collins, Colorado. The post In the Forested Canyon appeared first on 75CentralPhotography.

Three OpenAI safety researchers, Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni and Jasmine Wang, were fired, ostensibly for ‘mishandling sensitive company information.’ Those employees have published an open letter. The employees have said they believe they were fired for safety advocacy, and that the reasons given were pretextual. The letter calls upon OpenAI to take actions going forward on open discussion and safety auditing, which OpenAI says they strongly support. OpenAI responded, saying there was an…

A few weeks ago Lisa and I made some heftier handmade paper, and experimented with pressing previously carved lino blocks into the still-wet pulp.Today I took one of those sheets and used it for the cover of a notebook.

Every once in awhile, I see a beautiful, minimalist blog with impeccable typography, like this one from Manuel Moreale, and think I should do something similar with Newsonaut. But then I think Newsonaut is already minimalist. Take away the sun and stars and it’s especially minimalist. Try it for yourself with this button. Minimalize! That will never work for me. If I’m going to turn my inner space into outer space, I need it to be in something that looks like outer space. Send me email about…

Small preamble to this review: While the Switch does not meet my definition of a “Retro” console, it has several games that are “new ports” of retro games. Lots of these ports manage to do small updates without butchering the core gameplay of the original (like Bayonetta or DKC Returns). I was hoping Front Mission would be like that, but it isn’t… exactly… I got the digital version of this on a huge sale for 49 cents. Before I start doing all the coping and seething for the whole rest of this…

Kristy Athens founded Good Groceries in 2020 to deliver local produce, proteins, and value-added foods from Northeast Oregon's farmers, ranchers, fishers, and small producers to their neighbors' homes and workplaces. "It's everyone working together to bolster our local economy and get good food to people," she said. Athens moved to the Northwest from Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1995 and began studying for a masters in food systems management at Marylhurst University. After getting her degree,…

Yeah, all right, so a couple things happened in quick succession. First off, last Friday (the 2nd) I quit my job. This rules, and I've been looking forward to it for more than a year. I'm going on Ruth's health insurance, I'm planning to take about a year off, and I've got SO many things I want to do. But I will be doing a greatly reduced set of those things at first, because I 🌻 fucking broke my right pinkie finger 🌻 on Sunday, by falling on it on a trail run. (By the way, I have fallen and…

Hmm, not as smooth as I'd like, but not bad. 50 orders in the first 24 hours since opening pre-orders for THE SOLAR GRID hardback. Not too bad. I should probably note that the designated target of 750 orders does not make me, personally, any money. It's just the bare minimum needed to cover printing and fulfilment costs. The latter of course entailing warehousing the books, packaging, and shipping to readers, along of course with the labor of fulfilment operators. Profit margins are only…

Wonderful: “The Creation” by James Weldon Johnson, via @readerjohn. “I’m lonely” reminds me of Corbin’s discussion of the Divine Sigh that initiated creation. Hadith of the Hidden Treasure: “I was a hidden treasure and I longed to be known, so I created creatures that I might be known.”

A Prayer for the Dying takes a grim look at a doom-struck western town that’s trying to expand in the years just after the Civil War. Director Dara Van Dusen, an American who lives in Norway and trained at the Polish National Film School in Lodz, has made one of the year’s darkest films, telling the story of a town residents struck by a lethal plague of diphtheria -- not that things were going all that well before that. Jacob (Johnny Flynn) does triple duty. He’s the bicycle-riding sheriff,…

I Love Lucy debuted on CBS on October 15, 1951. That makes this Thursday the show's 75th anniversary. I Love Lucy numbers among the most influential shows of all time, from it being shot on 35 mm film in front of studio audience to Lucille Ball's real life pregnancy being written into the show's storylines. Among other things, I Love Lucy occupies a unique place in the history of Latinos on television. For those few of you who are not familiar with I Love Lucy, it centred on Lucy Ricardo…

00:00 - Watching Daniel play Star Wars Galactic Racer. I'm here for Biddy Blas. Scrip doon.

There are times at my age when I look back and wonder, "What if?" Don't get me wrong, there are a plethora of things in the span of my 60 years that I am immensely and profoundly grateful for. But there are times now where opportunities that have come and gone are just gone... with no chance (in this life, anyway) of getting a second chance. Sure, those missed opportunities have made me who I am today, for better or worse. But I would be lying if I said I didn't think about things I had the…

Guten Tag! Guten Tag! 👋Do you know what happens when you import the same module multiple times? Do you think we need a new poster element? And have you ever used the vary header to improve caching? Turn on the Web Weekly tune and find some answers below. Enjoy! ::: song by="Dom" title="Twenty One Pilots - Center Mass" youtube="PAbv0MXFYgE" I really like the shift from a hip-hop style to a full rock ending, and the lyrics are well written around the topic of vulnerability and loss. ::: Do you…

One of mine today. In memoriam. Under Branches Lit Up by the Moon Marilyn McCabe If, as some physicists claim, existence isrelational, and some theologians that god isa verb of relation, and some psychologists the self isdefined by our interactions with others, thensurely, my friend, we made somethingof each other. I hear you singing in my ear.Is it Loggins and Messina? You knew the harmonies,but I never knew the words. We werean imperfect duo, stumbling the cold streetsof Delphi in search of…

Everything is automatic now I can see a million faces Blasted on a screen I’ll never know And yet I may you see As long as I’m connected to them All the lines are superficial All emotion has been leaked Erasable, retrievable Removable, illogical The future is here Get it while you can The future is real So go do what you can ~ Anything Box, Automatons Tag(s): lyricsposting

Riverside Studios have taken the unusual step of launching a major season of five plays, importing off-Broadway director Andy Sandberg to curate the season and direct all the shows, as well as writing the opener. As far as I can tell Sandberg doesn't even seem to be a particularly big name in New York so I'm not sure what led to the red carpet being laid out for him to this extent - maybe the venue was hoping people would misread his name as Andy Samberg and get some ticket sales in? In any…

Eden Kupermintz Under Review:Horde of the Counterwind. Alain Damasio, translated by Alexander Dickow. Abrams, October 2026. Since its publication in French in 2004, Horde of the Counterwind has become one of the most successful novels in the language of all time. That a speculative fiction book has done this in French is not that surprising; the country and language have a long tradition of SFF mainstream success. But the extent of that success is surprising. Alain Damasio’s work, a fantasy…

The Circle is an idea to bring together writing from other private bloggers who are closely observing the world we inhabit together. Working at the edge of dream, symbol, the body, and the unseen. As the new Moon finds itself in Libra I also find myself considering a delicate balance. The balance between form and the formless, between definition and non-definition. I’ve been exploring what can be lost once we define something. There is a tension in that state where something is left undefined…

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Previous contributors include Jesmyn Ward, Lauren Groff, Bret Easton Ellis, Celeste Ng, T.C. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Hanif Abdurraqib, Andrew Sean Greer, Roxane Gay, and many others. The stories in Mallory Smart’s collection Book of David masterfully unearth the darknesses found in the American Midwest. Eric Larocca wrote of the book: “Every reader who peers into the…

Another post about things I’ve been listening to on the radio (mainly BBC Radio 3, Night Tracks). Very folk themed.
