I recently upgraded my CPU and ordered a new CPU cooler without need, since I thought I had just the stock AMD Wraith cooler, which could have some trouble handling a 5700X3D under load.
I think I'll be going forward with that new cooler after all, just because of how neatly arranged its included mounting accessories are.

Heidegger and/in/on Translation - ed. by Luca Illetterati and Elena Nardelli
In 2020, the journal Verifiche dedicated a double special issue – titled “Hegel and/in/on Translation,” edited by Saša Hrnjez and Elena Nardelli – to the relationship between Hegel’s philosophy and the topic of translation. This special issue of Verifiche, “Heidegger and/in/on Translation,” aims to build upon this philosophical and editorial project, this time addressing the specificity of the relationship between Heidegger’s philosophy and practical and theoretical questions r…

“Dangerous Coats” by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.

Can we create an English dialect that spells “colour”, “flavour”, etc, but that spells “recognizable” and not “recognisable”, “specialization” and not “specialisation”, etc?
The colour and such words with a “u” are way prettier, but the ones with an s instead of a z are just weird. Z is way better

Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate,
Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving:
O! but with mine compare thou thine own state,
And thou shalt find it merits not reproving;
Or, if it do, not from those lips of thine,
That have profaned their scarlet ornaments
And sealed false bonds of love as oft as mine,
Robbed others' beds' revenues of their rents.
Be it lawful I love thee, as thou lov'st those

I’ve added caching and revamped the results interface of https://onthecitesof.info.

After wearing my cargo pants yesterday and being spoiled by decent sized pockets (I could fit my phone in the front pocket, keys, and lipstick without it falling out when I sit) I’m pissed again about the pockets in my current pants, back pocket I can only put my hand up to my second knuckle in the back (might fit a lipstick but it would fall out) and the front ones, stuff keeps falling out when I sit. I’m going to lengthen the pockets based on the cargo pants pockets, I don’t care if it ‘ruins the line of the pants, and adds bulkiness’ because as I always say, women’s pockets, when pants have them, are bullshit. And I don’t care if they make me look fat because I value function and comfort more. My son can fit a whole keyboard in his. I’ve been gradually lengthening my pockets as I get to them, or wearing a Fanny pack, but had to go to a funeral Sunday and got pissed again about my pockets. I want to empower other women with decent pockets, so we can take over. That poem about seditious pockets comes to mind. Or at least carry phones and keys. Will post photos. #sewing #pockets #womenspants

My dear dear friend had been misdiagnosed with lingering pneumonia in the spring, and had spells of being very sick, nothing was helping. She finally got a breast cancer diagnosis a couple of weeks ago, and it had already spread everywhere, two weeks later she passed. I’m still in shock. Please stay up to date with your self exams and mammograms, and if you have an ailment that’s not clearing up, keep seeing doctors until they figure out what it is, get second opinions! Don’t wait.

Classifying Bicycle Infrastructure Using On-Bike Street-Level Images
While cycling offers an attractive option for sustainable transportation, many potential cyclists are discouraged from taking up cycling due to the lack of suitable and safe infrastructure. Efficiently mapping cycling infrastructure across entire cities is necessary to advance our understanding of how to provide connected networks of high-quality infrastructure. Therefore we propose a system capable of classifying available cycling infrastructure from on-bike smartphone camera data. The system …

"Code is, ultimately, characters on a screen, and software engineers do nothing but hammer that code into shapes that spark Joy and Money. The fear and dread comes from a culture where people feel bad that they can't work quickly enough in the terrible codebase, where they feel judged for slowing down to hammer the code into better shapes that sadly aren't on the Jira board, and where management looks down on people who practice craftsmanship."
