Wasnt Germany weirdly anti-nukular already 60 years ago. Where did it came from?

I remember in a train 1971 passing some Nuclear Towers and whole train expressed displeasement at the scenery. Kinda scary actually, because they started staring at me for not joining the crowd.


Gemini knows:

The "Atomtöd" (Atomic Death) Campaign (1950s) Before civil nuclear power even existed, West Germany had a massive "Ban the Bomb" movement. In the late 1950s, the government considered allowing U.S. nuclear warheads on German soil. This sparked the Kampf dem Atomtod (Fight Atomic Death) movement.

The Result: The German public learned to associate the word "nuclear" with total destruction and the Cold War arms race long before they ever saw a power plant.


It would be much funnier, if the Cube was at origo. So indexes are {-1,0,+1}. And thus Cube[0,0,0] is empty, or maybe there is a ball with 6 screw-holes in it.

Nearest nonhuman intelligence seems to be the only one to appreciate this approach. It shortens the code and also search space as it is easier to recognize symmetries.

I just discovered alt-scroll just by accident.

  Desktop Zoom (Xubuntu/Kubuntu): In Xfce (Xubuntu) and KDE (Kubuntu), Alt + Scroll is the default shortcut to zoom in and out of the entire desktop. This is an accessibility feature used to magnify specific parts of the screen.

Also I have "make-icon" to bragg about:

  convert  -size 24x24 -gravity center -background yellow -fill black\
     label:$1 ~/.local/share/icons/$1.png
  file=~/.local/share/applications/$1-noko.desktop
  echo [Desktop Entry] > $file
  echo Name=$1 >> $file
  echo Comment=noko-made >> $file
  echo Exec=$1 >> $file
  echo Terminal=false >> $file
  echo Icon=~/.local/share/icons/$1.png >> $file
  echo Type=Application >> $file

    cat <<EOR > "${file}"
      [Desktop Entry]
      Comment=Bash has heredocs.
    EOR
I think the reason they are confused is that this is entirely out of context.

What exactly do we see here?

A shell injection vulnerability ad soon as somebody copies the same approach somewhere else or trained your LLM on it.

Write correct code by default, always, otherwise it will end up somewhere you care about.

The best way to do that is to avoid shell, as a language that makes writing insecure code the most convenient.

(The original intent looks like it's making a desktop/launch icon, e.g. you might call it with "firefox" as an argument and it would put its logo into an application starter, provided a logo of the correspond name is already in the place the script expects.)


Erh? Bash-reading disability?

make-icon ABCD:

1) Makes a small picture ABCD.png from the first letters of the string "ABCD".

2) Makes ABCD application icon to using the picture ABCD.png.

3) Moving youres pointing device on that icon and pressing appropriate button now executes ABCD.

"convert" is from Imagemagick of course.


Neat! Does someone know a way to implement this in hyprland?

Nobody knows. I wanted preset zoom for watching widescreen movies on laptop. But xev does show anything at alt-scroll.

<p> was the only thing I knew when I constructed Finland's First Ever WEB-page in 1992.

Correction: there was also the issue of Ä and Ö. Those were &AUML; and &OUML; I think.

On 640x480 VGA-display this page looks quite alright.

OpenSCAD-coding has improved significantly on all models. Now syntax is always right and they understand the concept of negative space.

Only problem is that they don't see connection between form and function. They may make teapot perfectly but don't understand that this form is supposed to contain liquid.


I asked @grok to make me [flagged]-Free HN. The stream is available in some handy json-format, but to our astonishment the [flagged]-stuff is hidden elsewhere available only to signed subscribers inside the browser.


I finally managed to read Player of Games. @grok explained the structure of the book and made list of personae worth remembering.

Playboy is forced to take part in war of the worlds. 50 pages of societé, parties and games are necessary to describe this character.


Oh how I wish we could know what Iain M. Banks thinks of the LLM revolution...


The openscad-nightly is lightning-fast, but makes occasional occlusion errors.

Assuming you make all the necessary adjustements in preferences.


I have solved the only problem OpenSCAD ever had and that is

  total lack of interactivity.

Now they say newest version of OpenSCAD has this functionality builtin. It took only a year.


This is important and should be a given. But the more interesting challenge is to highlight the object you’re editing (where your cursor is). It’s not clear even how to exactly visualize it (it could be inside subtract of union of subtract etc).


It moves or grows or whatever. What other indication you want?

I have not yet invented any other improvement.

I tried decimal points, but that was stupid, you just add "/100" if you want micrometer accuracy.


If you're subtracting cube A from cube B, and you position cube A such that there's no overlap between the cubes, you can't even see cube A. But you can imagine that when I place my cursor in an editor onto the code that generates cube A, that it could be rendered (say transparent), to indicate where it is. You can then more easily position it. Otherwise you have to explicitly render it yourself, or switch between difference and union operators.
