   Linköping and otherwise not so Linköping friends are converging on LinCon. Today is the 40th anniversary!

   (so I guess it's the 41st LinCon?)

   I have never been, even when I was living in the right timezone and even city. I enjoy fantasy literature, TTRPGs and boardgames, but never got "into it".

   @argv minus one Please tell us the whole other story about dark mode. I'm listening!

   If UX designers could please stop second-guessing my screen settings, that'd be great. I have my screen set up the way my eyes want it, thank you very much.

   No combination of colors on your screen should ever strain your eyes. Your brain, maybe, but not your eyes. Adjust your screen settings as needed to achieve this.

   On a phone, it's not even difficult. The brightness control is right there.

   The big exception to all this is dark mode, but that's another story.

   I don't experience brain freeze, nor piss shivers. Are they cultural traits or am I physiologically different?

     What fascinates me is that these things are treated as universal experiences in US media, but growing up in Sweden I never heard of them and I never experienced them.

   Mit uns fliegt auch eine Gruppe orthodoxer Juden, die augenscheinlich gerade beten. Kann mir jemand erklären, was diese Körperbewegungen bedeuten, die sie dabei machen? (Ruckartig nach vorne beugen, nach links und rechts drehen, ...)

    Oh cool. OCaml 5, which came out 2 years ago, had a big update adding multicore support.

    I became aware because 5.2 RC 1 is out just now.

    OCaml is still on my to-learn list.

      Can't find the article about the "hundred year program" or "centennial program".

      It's not the "hundred-year programmimg language" one by Paul Graham.

    2.6 tons of batteries and the pallet they were mounted on were supposed to burn up in the atmosphere. Not all of it did, and Alejandro Otero's house was hit with a 0.7 kg nickel-chromium cylinder from space.
