My mother's washing machine is breaking down, and she lives close enough that I'm washing all of her laundry.
Now, I like being able to fill more loads and wash things more often, rather than have them accumulate until the laundry basket is overflowing, so I'm not encouraging her to buy a new machine (an attempt at repairing hers has already been done, and failed).
My real question is: should I do the proper #victorian thing and embroider my husband's initials on all of our household items? should I do a radical feminist thing and embroider my own initials¹? And what should I do with the bedsheet that already has my great-grandfather initials on it?
¹ or rather design. which has the advantage of having a form that is extremely easy and quick to embroider, and I already use on my conference t-shirts that are identical to @Diego Roversi 's ones :D

Thread di benvenuto all'ondata di nuovǝ utenti!
Ciao! Avete trovato Livello Segreto, un'istanza di Mastodon pensata per sfuggire alle logiche dei social commerciali e per creare una comunità più umana e felice.
Qui non ci sono influencer, non ci sono pubblicità, non ci sono brand, non c'è monetizzazione.
Qui l'algoritmo è cronologico, quindi i like e l'engagement non contano.
Qui parliamo per il gusto di farlo, senza gare di popolarità.

No, the code isn't anywhere where it can be seen.
Yes, if this fails somewhere the worst that can happen is that I have to get up from my chair to know whether the temperature is higher outside or inside.
And I really needed a project where I could give myself permission to do things that only work for me, rather than having to consider other possible usecases, and possibly even to do bad things, like this one.

If your program constructs a configuration from one or more configuration files and maybe also built-in defaults, command line options, environment variables, or anything else, it is a good idea for the program to have a way to dump the actual, combined, configuration so that the user can see what it actually is.
This beats reading documentation and deducing what things should be. It helps with debugging configuration mistakes of all kinds.
Trust, but verify, sort of.

Shawl Calculations
Posted on June 16, 2023
Update 2023-06-17: I had missed an N in the formulas, they have been updated, and since I was editing this I’ve added the haskell bit.
I’ve just realized that I’m not anywhere close to finishing the shawl I’m knitting, so I’ve done the perfectly logical and rational thing and started a new one.
This one is using some yarn from the stash, so its size is limited by the available yarn, and I wanted to estimate how long it may be, so I weighted the ball of yarn at the beginning and then again after knitting 10 and 20 rows.
It’s a top-down crescent, with 6 increases every two rows (but these calculations should work for any uniform top-down shawl with a regular number of increases), so each block of 10 rows should use an approximately fixed weight of yarn more than the previous block of 10 rows.
So, let w0 be the weight of the first block of rows, wr the (average) difference between two consecutive blocks and wT the total weight of the shawl. Then the weight used by block i should be wi = w0 + wr ⋅ i and the total weight of the shawl should be:
$$w_T = \sum_{i=0}^{N}w_i = N ⋅ w_0 + w_r ⋅ \frac{N ( N + 1)}{2}$$
where N is the number of blocks in the whole shawl.
This gives:
N2 + (1 + 2 ⋅ w0/wr) ⋅ N − 2 * wT/wr = 0
and the only positive solution will be:
$$N = - 1/2 - w_0/w_r + \sqrt(1/4 + w_0^2/w_r^2 - w_0/w_r + 2 ⋅ w_T/w_r)$$
or, in a few lines of python that can be easily copypasted (changing the values in ws and w_T, of course):
import math
import statistics
w_T = 200
ws = [2, 4, 6]
w_r = statistics.mean(map(lambda x: x[0] - x[1], zip(ws[1:], ws)))
-1/2 - ws[0] / w_r + math.sqrt(1/4 + ws[0]**2 / w_r**2 - ws[0]/w_r + 2 * w_T / w_r)Or, in Haskell:
let ws = [2, 4, 6]
let w_T = 200
let w_0 = head ws
let w_r = ( sum (map (\(x,y) -> y-x) (zip ws (drop 1 ws))) ) / (fromIntegral (length ws - 1))
-1/2 - w_0 / w_r + sqrt (1/4 + (w_0/w_r)**2 - w_0/w_r + 2 * w_T / w_r)Which right now (using the actual measured values) tells me I will have about 135 rows in my shawl, but I’d really want to do a few more blocks of 10 rows and have more datapoints before I trust the numbers I’ve put in.
Which means that this shawl will also take forever.

Started cutting out the rectangles for my floaty skirts. (Just comfy, not fitted.) The first is cotton gauze, which is great for this kind of skirt, but it’s kind of a pain to work with. Because it’s a loose weave it tends to wiggle around and be hard to cut accurately.
There’s a trick to cutting a straight line across woven fabric, where you pull out a thread and then cut along the gap where it used to be.
I’m starting by straightening the ends. The photo of the cut end is the correct color

Project #linocut steampunk #piecepack is under way!
Quite a few months ago I started the project by making this
and buying some supplies (such as non-black linocut ink :D ), and then procrastination happened and I got quite stuck.
Today I've actually drawn all most of the pieces on tracing paper, I need to add the smaller suites, trace everything from the reverse, and then finally carve the linoleum.
And then maybe I'll start procrastinating again, or maybe I'll actually do some test prints in the weekend?
I may also be thinking of regular piecepack suites and playing card suites in the same style, but first I need to actually assemble a piecepack and discover whether it will work.
like this
For Linux Days:
- carve a fancy Tux not wider than a pasta machine
- bring paper, ink and a pasta machine on the event site
- have people printing their own Tux with their hands ("Ooooh, look, I'm skilled!")
- gather contributions

OK, this is a very niche question, but can anyone point me in the direction of a quality source that discusses the transport and storage of bulk quantities of salt in England between around 1200 and 1450.

I struggled to understand what you meant by all this. And then I read your further replies on your site where you bring up Roma, and I have this to say.
Please do not use Roma as a way to say "White people suffer racism too!"
Traditionally, Roma were not treated or classified as White People. Some of us can pass as 'White', and many had to in order to flee Fascism. But Roma as a people were not considered 'White People'. See for example how Australia treated Roma immigrants.
@jay While I agree with her take somewhat, I also think this is extremely easy to miss for us Europeans. Yes, the boundaries of whiteness are not identical in Europe (e.g. the ironic "discrimination" against Italians is funny to Americans but less funny in places like Germany where they are seen as non-white) but that doesn't mean the mode of discrimination doesn't exist here. Our understanding of whiteness is more balkanized but it's still there and at the core of this oppression and anti-Blackness is widespread even if there may be fewer Black people around.
Heck, despite the racism against Eastern Europeans it's trivial to see the difference in how e.g. Germany treats white Ukrainian refugees compared to how it treats brown refugees. There was literally a public discourse around how the existing shelters were undignified and inadequate for Ukrainians when they were apparently perfectly sufficient for Syrians and North Africans.
Yes, whiteness is a social construct but it's also defined by exclusion. It's not literally about skin color, it just often aligns with it. But as the recent cases of Latino/Hispanic white supremacist violence in the US have shown, this complexity is not unique to the US.
As for Europe's history of colonialism: just because we were so racist we didn't want to bring most of the slaves to Europe that doesn't mean we heavily promoted slavery and benefitted from it. Just look at Belgian rubber plantations to see how much pain this caused.
You can't export social justice discourse 1 to 1 from the US to Europe but that doesn't mean it doesn't apply. It's not an exact match but it doesn't require many adjustments. We're just leagues behind when it comes to reflecting on our history of these issues. That's not something to be proud of and it's not the fault of the US.
It’s the colonial mindset. I truly believe it is almost impossible for an American to conceive of the world as separate from America. There’s America, there are the friendly Disneyland states you visit to be entertained by the curious displays of the Almost-Americans, and then there are the Brown people ghettos you bomb (with a suitably diverse military, of course)…
As I watched an American tell a Brit once: “Accent? I don’t have an accent… you have an accent!”

I've just soldered a few cables wrong on a perfboard: I counted pins as if I was on the right side, while I was working on the reverse side.
Since the cables were between sockets, and in a somewhat symmetrical shape, I've found that if I shift the boards that plug into them a bit, the connections are right.
The problem is: 3.3V and GND are in purple, and the data cables are red and black.
Some part of me is screaming “NOOOOOO, REDO THEM. NOW!”. Another, just as important, part of me is going “meh, it works, call it done”.

Personally I would redo them to remove the cognitive load of remembering to not trust colors in that specific board... since I will, for sure, forget it.
@Daniele Tricoli in theory, this is just a temporary thing (i.e. something that will remain as is on a shelf somewhere for a few years, with the only interaction being recharging the battery now and then), so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Also, the things that go into it have clearly marked pins.
But still, cognitive load.
