I think it's officially Ice Cream Weather, now!

Regarding that link I just boosted. I must mention it again. Somewhere in the middle there is this image. And below it: «It was a survey of ad industry people: “300+ publishers, adtech, brands, and various others…” Pause for a moment and look at that chart again. Nearly all those proffesionals in the business would not accept what their businesses do to other human beings.»
Pause for a moment, yes indeed.

I thought perhaps orientation is to blame but apparently not.
What does it mean when "apps" have this much memory? Back in week 14 I "solved" the situation using a reboot. My problem is that I don't know how to find those "apps" using top or ps. Any ideas? And what does "apps" in this context even mean? #gnu #linux #admin #helpwanted

My butt hurts from interval training and the only solution I know involves more pain.
Why does this chart go back to 1999 even though no contributions were made in those early years? Or does the chart always go back to 1999 because that's when GitHub got started? What about older repositories that got imported into git and posted to GitHub?

Currently struggling with producing #SVG for labelling rivers. I need a #Bézier curve offset to place the label on an invisible path next to the river instead of on the river itself. So now I need to implement the heuristic approximation method proposed by Tiller and Hanson. This involves a lot of paper and ink.

Image 1 shows the solution I am unhappy with. Image 2 shows the heuristic with simple control point translation. That's not good enough.
Listening to The Art of the Japanese Koto, Shakuhachi and Shamisen, to remind myself of Japan, while I look at all the food stuff I haven’t had in a while: fresh veggies, salad, bread, cheese, milk, cereals.
The sad part is being alone in a mega city. Once you have eaten dinner, what are you going to do? Drink by yourself? I end up in my hotel room after a walk, ready for teeth brushing, shower, and one on one time with the laptop. And that feels weird. As is usual for me, by the third week I’m starting to miss my most favorite person in the world.

What’s not to love about this?
So many people coming together to create Open Street Map. An app that allows me to download these maps and use them offline. The sheer number of restaurants. And out there it feels like about ten times more: isakayas one multiple levels of these buildings, both below ground and in the upper levels. There is ground level, the underground shopping and eateries, a motorway a bit further up, railways crossing, subways crossing. I love Asian mega cities. #osaka
