I don’t understand why venison isn’t on the menu more often in the UK. When I do see it, it’s often on the special board, or in less mainstream restaurants. It’s tasty, healthy and sustainable so what’s that problem?

I hope it wasn’t a long drive, thank you for putting us ahead of your own plans.
It would be the best merch anyone ever offered.
I just looked and found this, is it you or a freeloader? https://www.redbubble.com/shop/unix_surrealism
That’s my assumption, it would be interesting to hear the exact details, and if Mozilla has been approached regarding this already.
Why would blocking ad blockers in Firefox bring in another $150 million? From where?

Technology@lemmy.world•This long-term data storage will last 14 billion yearsEnglish
2·18 days agoI’m thinking of it the same way, and not having the readers be trade secrets but published specs is good for future digital archeologists.
For example, Dyson uses trade secrets instead of patents, so it would be harder to recreate their tech in the future.
Edit: patents not parents 🤦

This is good news from the point of view of being able to create devices that can read these crystals; as a comment on the linked site says:
The realistic lifetime of storage is the life of the last manufactured or surviving retrieval device.

How do you turn a pig into a sausage?
Yeah, it’s quite a mean trick really - kinda a big middle finger to anyone who does TDD

Mild spoilers ahead, but you’re reading the solutions thread.
I was just doing some preliminary checking of the data on my phone with Nushell (to see how much my ageing laptop would suffer) when I discovered there weren’t any non trivial cases.
Normally I get the test data working before trying the input data, this is definitely teaching me the value of investigating the data before heading down into the code mines.
Unfortunately I can’t get the second star yet because I missed a few days.

3·22 days agoSounds like perhaps unified codes would be the answer to that problem!

4·22 days agoInteresting stuff, thanks for writing it up.
I did know that US codes weren’t standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as “a police code” to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written “Philadelphia police code” - but then I would have missed out on your reply.

World News@lemmy.world•Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military basesEnglish
231·22 days agoIf you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that’s probably a more sensible place to start.
Ask vague questions, get oddly specific answers, I guess.

18·22 days agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.
* are rapped words lyrics?

I’m still travelling, so another phone attempt. Jet lag says sleep, so just part 1 for now:

Linux•Firefox 147 Promises Support for the XDG Base Directory Specification, Beta Out Now
13·24 days agoFirefox does seem to be clearing out their old bugs (another example is MKV support) but perhaps it’s buses arriving together and not due to some policy.

























I only wrote code for [email protected] which is so different to my usual tasks that it feels like a break.
