@kuba@toot.kuba-orlik.name pisał o petycji o wprowadzenie graficznego symbolu złotego (https://toot.kuba-orlik.name/@kuba/116192573257032046) a ja dziś odkryłem, że komputery #Mazovia miały symbol złotego! > Mazovia obecnie jest natywnie obsługiwana przez FreeDOS, jako strona kodowa CP790 (standardowa) i CP991 (zmodyfikowana: na pozycji 0x9B zawiera symbol złotego „zł” zamiast symbolu centa „¢”, czyli tak jak w karcie graficznej oryginalnego komputera Mazovia 1016). https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazovia_(kod) #TIL

TIL that there was an actual debate among ancient Greek writers on whether Achilles or Patroclus was the dominant ("erastes") or the passive ("eromenos") one in the relationship, with Plato famously arguing that Achilles was a passive "eromenos" who was willing to give his life to avenge his lover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_and_Patroclus#Classical_views_in_antiquity #til #todayilearned https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1rmiiwp/til_that_there_was_an_actual_debate_among_ancient/

TIL there’s an Android game called “Send Me to Heaven” where the objective is to throw your phone as high as possible and catch it, with the app measuring height using the device’s accelerometer. Apple banned it from the App Store for encouraging users to damage their phones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_Me_to_Heaven #til #todayilearned https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1rl3aul/til_theres_an_android_game_called_send_me_to/

Today I learned that meditation can reduce the size of the amygdala, the fear and anxiety part of the brain. (The irony is, I guess, that it's this part of the brain that often makes meditation difficult.) https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/01/eight-weeks-to-a-better-brain/ #TIL

TIL: Bud "Harold" Cort hatte auch eine kleine Rolle in einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme. Er spielte in Michael Manns "Heat" von 1995 den schmierigen Pommesjongleur ('Solenko'), der den späteren Fluchtfahrer ('Donald') brutal runtermacht und dessen Lage als Häftling auf Bewährung eiskalt ausnutzen will... #funfact #til

Ce matin, dans le roman en anglais que je lis, je vois le mot "brindled" ("a brindled cat"), que je ne connaissais pas. Et j'apprends qu'on dit "bringé" en français, c'est une couleur de pelage chez certains mammifères, dont les chats. #TIL

This, my friends, is a "Nottaufspritze", or "syringe for emergency baptism". If the midwife strongly suspected that the child would be stillborn, and could not see the child's head, she could inject the syringe into the vagina, and thus sprinkle the child with holy water and provide an emergency baptism before the stillborn child was formally dead. Because the souls of unbaptized children don't go into Heaven. #TIL #history #Christianity #baptism https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nottaufspritze_MfK_Wgt.jpg

#TIL that you can work with multiple branches in #Git simultaneously via git worktree. I think this will certainly help make #Tenacity maintenance much easier as I won't have to keep switching between different branches and perform virtually an entire rebuild between the latest stable and development branches. This way, I could more easily test two branches in parallel. I think this will make Tenacity maintenance MUCH easier! I'm very excited to see how this will improve my workflow too! 😄
