I am knitting Earthly in Patons Linen (cotton, linen, viscose) and it’s my first time working with linen.
I was told, and everything I’m reading, and watching on YouTube emphasizes the importance of blocking my linen swatches. I hand washed in warm water with agitation, and am tumble drying now. After it’s dry, I’ll machine wash and dry the swatches like my son will when he’s living with the finished sweater. The swatches have become very soft, have grown a bit in length, but so far the width seems stable. Will see how second blocking goes. It’s going to be a very nice sweater if I can get the sizing right. Using the EZ PZ Gauge Ruler to measure, and the stitches were better defined after the first blocking.
Planning to make an XL (size 46” chest) depending on what happens with the swatches, since according to Google, yarn can be machine washed and tumbled dry, it may shrink up to 10%, (which would make the XL a 43.2” fit) BUT I had a bamboo ribbon yarn top shrink to child size in my washer (still sad about that, the pre wash size was perfect!) so I’m gun shy. RIP Coachella tank in Tahki Yarns Bali ribbon. I’d use that yarn again, but definitely wet block, and handwash (it got accidentally thrown into the washing machine)

Me sorprende ver que casi ningún sindicato (incluidos los libertarios) promueve de forma activa la creación de empresas #cooperativas en contraposición al modelo de empresa "clšsica" capitalista.
Alguien que me pueda iluminar sobre por qué esto es así? por qué tan poco énfasis en esta vía de acción?
A mi entender, que los trabajadores controlen la empresa es un paso esencial para asegurar que los logros sociales adquiridos sean mšs fšciles de defender (mucho mšs que si las empresas se nacionalizan, pues los estados pueden decidir volver a privatizarlas mšs tarde, o usarlas como instrumento de control)... y dado que no vivimos ni en un sistema comunista ni anarquista, la vía que mšs se acerca a esto es la de las empresas cooperativas.

"Simultaneously to Steve Jobs’s introduction of the iPhone in January 2007, Google started publishing a series of blog posts called “Testing on the Toilet”. On May 15th, 2008, this series featured a famous issue: “TotT: Using Dependancy Injection to Avoid Singletons.” The writing was literally on the wall of toilets worldwide: Singletons are bad™®©. Sadly, the much more exciting idea of dependency injection contained in the article got lost in the minds of most readers."

TABS. It is a question of #accessibility, you morons!
Death to #smartTabs (aka random haphazard inserts of spaces depending on the IDE at hand)!

"Go is a triumph in developer experience and efficiency, a language and a runtime created by very experienced designers built to solve a particular problem in a lightweight manner. Just like PostgreSQL and Git, some technologies survive Darwinian evolutionary cataclysms and rise to the top of their craft. Without any doubt, Go belongs to this select group, and if somewhat naïvely we take the past 15 years as a proof, its future looks definitely bright."
