@unlofl @tholindeth qalculate parses that as (32 gram·barns) / (5 tonne·barns)

@IceWolf @unlofl @tholindeth qalculate has at least some of the features of wolfram alpha, when i need to do calculations with units and well-known constants it's what i use

@catsalad @golgaloth I occasionally use diaereses in my variable names. it is someone rude that crates.io doesn't allow non-ascii in crate names, my current project is called gtfsржд (note that the р is U+440 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ER not an english p)

@ahihi@anticapitalist.party now i wonder what chinese-designed email would look like, had it been pre-us and imes had existed. i would guess it would be least to most specific, as is done with names (family personal) and dates (year month day), something like com.example@user no idea what the punctuation would be though. it seems like "。" is relatively old, but i'm not sure about "、"

@miss_rodent i have never done programming for retrocomputing, but i still think about variable sizes because my first C experience was for a microcontroller with 2kiB of ram, does that count?

the only other pangram i actually remember is "Victor jagt zwölf Boxkämpfer quer über den großen Sylter Deich"

@tinker @mcg if they're fine with false positives, they could check mtu

@gsuberland just solder in the gpu power cable

@mattly@hachyderm.io one can always tell that my essays are not LLM-generated ⸻ i use three-em dashes.

@maeow @q that's mimo

@lethalbit bitmanip is in rva23, but i always forget riscv is "has a nice instruction for this, but not on your cpu", since somehow companies are still releasing non-rva23 silicon.

@lethalbit funny that riscv64 bitmanip instruction has this (well, it has "reverse bytes" and "reverse bits in each byte")

@nileane@nileane.fr but you see, no one could have ever read the text of the digital markets act when it was signed four years ago and figure out the obvious result, least of all apple.

@misty@digipres.club i read this as "apdu" which would be much more confusing

@ra6bit excuse me, it's more like 800MW, since you have to dissipate the heat lost to inefficiency in the solar panels

@flamingspork зед vs жед

@implr@social.hackerspace.pl @q3k@social.hackerspace.pl what if you want 0x8915 (infiniband over ethernet) (if you do, i'm sorry)

@lynnesbian i guess chinese people just won't be able to use websites when traveling

@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems don't worry, whitequark posts are idempotent.

@gsuberland okay, that is a really cool design.

@gsuberland @funkylab @dysfun EU boundaries for DC seem to be: 0–75V: General Product Safety Regulation only75–1 500V: Low Voltage Directive1 500V–?: probably something annoying

@gsuberland reminded of the OCP 48V busbar connector. probably not a good use for that though.

@alina@girldick.gay (okay, there is a way to title case, but it's deep in the stack and hyper still does not support any capitalization other than all lowercase and camel kebab case)

@alina@girldick.gay hyper is rude and lowercases all header names, i had to use wireshark to discover why i couldn't make api calls to some services that wanted case sensitive headers. their opinion on the behaviour is "fix the servers", which does not help when one does not control the api servers.

@mattly@hachyderm.io can't figure out how to type an em-dash? it's easy 一 enter your chinese IME and type "yi".

@YaLTeR@mastodon.online @zimward@chaos.social queued: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513376

@nickolasclarke @monoxane @jj @amyisard @alper @arianvp @noodlemaz I never "released" my outputs and shared the gtfs publically because i had trouble getting coordinates of the stations (the problem being that chinese stations have both a unique telegraph code and a non-unique pinyin code, and both wikidata and osm confuse them). The source of the scraper is at https://git.mildlyfunctional.gay/artemist/play/src/branch/canon/rust/gtfs12306 It was written to generate gtfs schedule for the next 14 days. It probably still works, the website hasn't been greatly changed, but it definitely needs a VPN due to rate limiting. The current code is designed to be used from mullvad, which makes it easy to use socks5 to rotate proxies.

@lynnesbian on my first watch through i thought the transparent pngs were original

@lynnesbian reminded of watching "The Force Awakens" when it came out and making fun of all the scene transitions

@maartje@blahaj.social Open access Gare du Nord–Gara de Nord service with no intermediate stops

@sen@hachyderm.io ... oh, dai is not an on'yomi reading of 大 in this context.

@mattly@hachyderm.io that's not the only option ー it's also possible to enter a Japanese IME then type "-".

@gullevek@famichiki.jp @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer simplified and traditional chinese have their own codepoints if they have substantially different strokes, e.g. 見 vs 见. i suspect a large reason for han unification was that they wanted to fit everything in 65536 codepoints, in which case separating them would not have been practical. they eventually gave up on that goal and there are now nearly 160k assigned codepoints, but it was too late.

@ryan@m29.us certainly not the only chinese open source project with an anime girl mascot, 安同OS ("AOSC OS"), a community linux distribution in china, has an official set of qq stickers for their bunny girl mascot wearing a qipao. the designer of the kde and krita mascots, tyson tan, is also from china.

@IngaLovinde this feels like it has to be iban discrimination somehow

@atax1a i also know of iroha for kana, but i certainly don't remember it

@paregorios@hcommons.social @ryan@m29.us nix4loong is chinese. i would at least guess so, given that the website is in simplified chinese and it's referring to a mainland-targeted product, e.g. see https://nix4loong.cn/zh (i thought they were the same entity as loonarch community, but they have different ICP registrations. they are related, though)

@fillertrack@slime.global it would be more interesting if batman referenced the in-depth story of an apocryphal ancient person, or a poem from 1000 years ago about the beauty of nature. empresses in the palace does that and it's fun to decode them.

@fillertrack@slime.global tired: "spider man references another marvel property" wired: "web novel references shakespeare" inspired: "the author of this novel references several types of historical clothing designs in eurasia, drawing from ming dynasty china, medieval europe, and pre-medieval persia"

@ilmari @gsuberland @cstross @WellsiteGeo @quixoticgeek @owent @alicemcalicepants @nullcolaship @davidtheeviloverlord @edwinb oh, it actually documents that boundaries in japanese and thai are hard (neither use spaces, and in japanese linguists disagree whether some suffixes count as a separate word or a conjugated form)

@ireneista @cwebber true, it's just that mining is legal and doesn't require finding customers.

@monoxane @jj @amyisard @alper @arianvp @noodlemaz it's occasionally possible to scrape data for gtfs-rt, e.g. it's been done for amtrak, but for most sites it would take too long to scrape their realtime data to be useful. non-real-time data is easier, i've done it for china and am currently working on doing it for russia.

@ryan@m29.us the loongarch community uses anubis patched to use a different anime girl.

@ireneista @cwebber i wonder how efficiently one can turn many of those giant startup credits directly into money. they probably try to detect mining

@ryan@m29.us illustrator seems to be https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/962304

@ra6bit you also need to cool the solar array, but that's surprisingly little space
