    Oh yeah here’s something I’ve forgotten to write: when choosing a 4 digit code for doors and such, having a duplicate digit makes it harder to guess.

    Let’s say they know it’s the numbers 1, 7, 8, and 9, but not the order. That’s fewer possible codes than if they know it’s a four digit code made out of 1, 7, and 8. (Such as 8178, 7781, 1817 etc.)

    To me this made intuitive sense but in conversation wih combinatorians I’ve won a lot of bets on this, resolved by them mathing it out. Two unique numbers is worse though. Three is the sweet spot for a four digit code.

    Huh, I should try to put into OEIS the sequence f(n) where f(n) is the sweet spot of unique numbers for an n-digit code in base ten.

    1, 2, 2, 3…

    It happens to me all the time, for example just today when I looked at Hydrogen’s documentation (a drum machine). I guess I read more older stuff…?

    There’s no specifying encoding, but various encodings (such as UTF-8) work. Even on the https web there are pages where I need to select encoding client-side, so… that’s not that different.

    @kensanata Hold off!

    My ~/.cache/krita, for example, has a mod date of sometime in 2019 but inside of it are newer things!

    @kensanata Running Baobab on it makes it pretty clear that it’s Mozilla at 3.8 gigs.

    Pip is also a pretty bad culprit. Pip is a horrible program, anytime I see something is made with Python I heave and sob of grief—moreso because I have to deal with Python’s environment than the language itself—or should I say __itself__.

    Then other browsers. Qutebrowser half a gig, chromium a third of a gig, epiphany a fifth. Haven’t used some of those in a long long time. Mypaint uses 57M which is less than I thought it would. I still have an old 15M icedove cache for some reason even though I haven’t used that app in decades. Common-lisp and gnome-builder are also present (from when I tried to build that oauth app before I got wise to the life-changing magic of oathtool).

    I wanna pool a CAPCOM instance with some likeminded people instead of running my own. There’s not a lot of feeds I know I want on there but I know a handful I’d like to not bring over from upstream CAPCOM. Yeah, yeah, I’m cranky.

    1. Flipism
      Flipism, sometimes written as "flippism", is a pseudophilosophy under which decisions are made by flipping a coin. It originally appeared in the Donald Duck Disney comic "Flip Decision" by Carl Barks, published in 1953. Barks called a practitioner of "flipism" a "Flippist" (with two P's).An actual coin is not necessary: dice or another random generator may be used for decision making. Flipism can be seen as a normative decision theory, although it does not fulfill the criteria of rationality. History In the original 1952 comic book, Donald Duck meets the eccentric Professor Batty, who persuades Donald to make decisions based on flipping a coin at every crossroad of life: "Life is but a gamble! Let flipism chart your ramble!" Donald soon gets into trouble when following this advice. He drives a one way road in the wrong direction and is fined $50. The reason for the fine is not his bad driving, but rather the fact that he relied on a coin to do his thinking instead of deciding for himself. In decision-making Flipism is a normative decision theory in...

      This is a list of black video game characters. The 2009 study "The virtual census: representations of gender, race and age in video games" published by the University of Southern California showed that Africans appear in video games in proportion to their numbers in the 2000 US census data, but mainly in sports games and in titles that reinforce stereotypes.

    I made a multi-step dish today that I thought was so worth it. Pierogi with a filling of sautéed shrooms, onion, garlic, tamari, and wheat berries and green lentils. (And thyme, black pepper and chervil for spices.)

    You are right that having a bunch of already boiled up lentils and wheat berries requires left-over type thinking. But that’s why planning. I keep dry lentils and wheay berries premixed in a huge jar, cooked up a little extra of that mix (w/ tamari) for a veg bolognese style pasta sauce this last Sunday, and saved some for this. Similarly, today after adding the shrooms and onions I ended up saving some of that for a future dish.

    Cooking can overlap with future dishes. Spent 15 mins total. Way more if you add in the time spent outside of the kitchen while dough (I keep a sourdough going basically all the time) was rising. Dishes aren’t atomic♥

    Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.
