@roelgrif@mstdn.socialRIVM update rioolwaarden en percentage positief Sars-Cov-2.
De opleving die we vorige week zagen blijkt van korte duur te zijn geweest en tevens ook minder groot dan het toen leek.
Intussen is er weer een duidelijke daling zichtbaar, van 372 naar 312. Dus zitten we weer op het pad van een neergaande achttiende golf.
Er zitten 7 nieuwe dagen in de data: 2 t/m 8 januari, met 85%-15% van de meetstations.
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialWorked on a client project in the basement where it’s currently 50-ish degrees F and that’s enough for now. Short break with the heating pad next then I’ll try some office work for a bit. This is not a fun Saturday so far.
@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.comYo dawg, we heard you all *loved* subscription based creative software (See: Jumping ship from Adobe to Affinity) so we changed to a subscription model. Gotta pad that Services Revenue number.

@robpike@hachyderm.ioTwo screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?
@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzAs NASA moves closer to launch of the #Artemis II test flight, the agency soon will roll its #SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft to the launch pad for the first time at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin final integration, testing, and launch rehearsals: #VehicleAssemblyBuilding to Launch Pad 39B.

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaSeveral months ago, I thought I'd be clever and get ahead of the curve by ordering a little buck converter from China so I could drive my LED Christmas lights from a constant 31VDC source and get rid of the stupid factory supply that requires 7 button presses each time it's powered up to simply light the string steadily rather than flashing in the most irritating, seizure-inducing way humanly imaginable.
Had I done more research in advance, I would have learned that:

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itI got a new (used) laptop a few months ago. As is now standard, they've removed the physical mouse buttons and made the touchpad wider. "No problem," I thought, "I've been practicing with tap-to-click!"
After a little while the phantom clicks started driving me nuts. Part of it is due to the wideness, part of it due to sensitivity (moving my finger onto the pad sometimes triggers a click). So tap-to-click is now disabled.. [1/2]
@joe@toot.worksI didn't think that it was possible to wear out the gel wrist rest on a mouse pad, but my wrist seems to disagree.

Hoe kun je in vredesnaam eem team van -1- in zo'n situatie op pad sturen?

@steve@s.yelvington.comBreakfast in Bangkok. After a week of Vietnamese food, this pad krapow is strong on the pow. Good cure for gummed-up eyes.
@sean@scoat.esI wonder if trivial code libraries (like the cliché left-pad) are going to mostly disappear because it's fewer tokens for a LLM to just inline that code than to manage the dependency, and advanced/experienced programmers aren't going to use that kind of thing anyway…

Meanwhile the Wet Dress Rehearsal is in trouble because of - you guessed it - a hydrogen leak. Since the updates on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/ have become super-sparse it's hard to tell how serious the problem is.
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm not saying I've got a hot ass but I've been sitting on a heating pad for two hours...
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaSo, initial thoughts so far on the Clockwork uConsole:
- The trackball is pretty bad, would classify it as barely functional.
- Wifi does not work which severely limits things...maybe an antenna problem? Verified it was securely installed on the CM4 module.
- Install isn't bad, very solid device.
- The thermal pad for the RPi CM4 is waaaay too thick.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI've been in pain (of various states) for over a month now, and I'm trying different techniques to deal with it.
Since it's not an injury I am now trying to "push through the pain" and by that I mean instead of lying on a heating pad trying to relieve the pain I get up, get moving, and do things.
And... it hurts like hell. But yesterday it only hurt like hell for like 90 minutes, so I could deal with that.
Contrast to 6 hours lying in bed the day befor…

@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzThe Wet Dress Rehearsal for #ArtemisII has begun in earnest with the tanking of the SLS Core stage now underway as planned: frequent updates on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zDlM8d4Q7g (the pictures here from https://images.nasa.gov/ show yesterday's sunrise and moonrise behind the stack on the pad).
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm in a good mood today! Woke up at 4:30am with a bit of leg pain but took Tylenol and used a heating pad right away. I was able to lie in bed for 3 hours and the pain was only mild. Finally got out of bed and was dealing with minimal pain.
It's been well over a week since I've had this little pain when getting out of bed in the morning. I was able to do my morning stuff just fine. I even made pizza dough.
The next test will be trying to get some desk work done. (And…
