@garius I'm running Corsair Vengeance LPX with a Ryzen 5 5600G on a MSI B550M PRO-VDH, so close-ish. But anything with less obvious specs I use the Crucial compatibility tool, and it's always worked so far. But you may be better exactly matching the stick you have left if your motherboard can do whatever dual bus thingies are around now.
What do people think about abusing USB-C connectors?
I have a project with two boards (a GPS logger) so use a cable to link them. I’m using a nice 5 pin plug. But whatever I use needs making up a cable.
Unless I use a USB-C. The sockets are cheap and can easily be SMD as part of the board. It is smaller and neater. Cheap leads or various lengths and colours available readily.
The problem is that it won’t be USB-C so may cause confusion. I think I can ensure it does not cause damage, maybe.
@slothrop@revk yeah, I'd prefer that USB C stays USB C only for that reason, but that ship has sailed for micro USB which is 5 pin and is a trash fire of not-usb already. Would that be viable?
Pals in #Edinburgh: where's a good place for kids to eat completely unadventurous food? Like, chicken nuggets and chips, and nothing clever about it. Eldest is autistic, so the more predictable and less noisy the better.
@christianp Upstairs at the city restaurant, next to the festival theatre, round the corner from chambers street, has proven successful with a similar sounding teenager, as long as its not a busy time.
Arrg! #diabetes
Never a good start to the day when your slow acting insulin decides it will not be slow, and drops your blood sugar to 2 in ten minutes flat.
It is a good job I had not gone for my morning walk straight away as I’d be collapsed somewhere in Castle Meadows now.
All good now, but it will mess up my levels all day I bet.
Rare, but it has happened a couple of times before. My diabetic clinic did not seem to know of it being a thing. Anyone else had this? Ordinary glargine insulin.
@revk It's been a long time since I had to do insulin injections for anyone, so I had to check the mechanism, but that sounds like it may be an accidental IV. As in the needle hit a small vein, so some or all of it was no longer subcutaneous, and dissolved immediately. Was there any bruising at the injection site?
"Next week, I'm going to be giving a talk on scientific reasoning to a group of judges and attorneys for the ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ Bar Association. More frequently than ever, judges are being asked to take judicial notice (a process where evidence is admitted to a trial and accepted as fact beyond dispute, without a hearing - I'm well aware of how frightening this must sound to an actual physicist!) of scientific principles. Most of these judges do not come from a scientific or mathematical background, but they are nevertheless trying to learn to competently weigh what is presented before them. If you have a moment, would you be willing to share any thoughts on what judges should look out for when attempting to sift through scientific reasoning?"
Suggestions, anyone? Is there a good book about this for lawyers or judges? That might be better than trying to convey wisdom in a few words.
wow the autodesk fusion 360 API docs are interesting. it seems like they're trying to see how much documentation they can write without possibly being useful
@resuna@cstross@charliejane I vaguely recall it being hinted in the New Adventures that The Culture were the only people Gallifrey had a formal peace treaty with. So there's probably something to play with there.
@resuna@cstross@charliejane ah, yes, sorry. My set were destroyed in a flood some years ago, so the stories are blurring together, and I was never very good with names.
@resuna@cstross@charliejane I remember them as averaging out as "good", but had the entire spectrum of quality, and I was much younger so I don't know how they stand the test of time.
Of course there's a good reason, but it's always a little jarring that a place called Rostov-on-don is in Russia, rather than being a few miles outside Aberdeen trying to attract tourists with the quality of their pehs.
