Owning books seems like a weird concept when you could just lend them from a library and return them when you're done. Like they're single use items, there's no need to own them.

Basically any car overtaking you on your bike in windy conditions is kind of dangerous when you are riding 45mm deep wheels.

First you get pulled towards the opposing traffic lane as the wind gets blocked by the car and stops blowing you to the outside of your lane.

Then when the car gets ahead of you the wind returns and blows you to the other side, gotta stay on the road man.

Good news everyone, my HRV is well again, it went upwards of the 60 day mean + standard deviation.

See so when you're building images, like in a Dockerfile, you are fine with apt install removing manually installed packages, you'll tweak the file until it does the right thing.

On your desktop however, you don't want to lose your important tool on a dist-upgrade or when installing another tool but be told about the conflict to be able to make an explicit decision (I already told you, people just blindly answer yes to prompts and then complain it removed the stuff it said it removes).

You know the star wars universe is just an alternative matrix the machines set up to enslave humans

One of the differences between a classic SAT solver and what I do is that I want to have all (discovered) clauses satisfied (or optional and skipped); whereas a classic SAT solver will want every variable assigned (it picks the next unassigned literal generally and it terminates when there are no more).

So e.g. a classic SAT solver on foo: Depends: A | B will need to select A, not B, whereas we don't really care about the state of B - it can be undefined.

Making Sencha

• preheat clay pot with 70°C water rinse
• fill 3.5g of tea leaves
• add 200ml of 60°C water
• steep for 90s
• slowly pour into cup (this takes 30-60s)

Ah yes, new episode of Dark Matter I should watch.

Watching the legacy mutants series "Legion" from I think it was back in 2017. I forgot I forgot to watch it.

And everything else is dead anyway. Nothing interesting.

Shoot:

could not balance this transaction:
real postings' sum should be 0 but is: 0.0083659€

And my Go decimal class knows that there is a value != 0 left but it just prints out 0.

I think I had a revelation about source-based pinning upgrading. It's path-dependent.

It's like if you add Breaks: binary (<< ${version-of-the-binary-in-the-source}) for each binary in your source package.

So you have three binaries A,B,C, they all depend on each other, e.g. A depends: B (>= 1), C (>= 1).

Now version 2 comes along and removes C; you are left with A Depends: B (>= 2), B: Depends: A (>= 2).

Upgrading either A or B will upgrade the other package, but C can remain installed.
