A friend of mine posed the following puzzle:

You have 12 marbles, which all have the same weight except one, which may be either heavier or lighter. How can you find the different one in three weighings on a balance scale?

I know I’ve seen it before, but it still too me a while to work out a solution. Then I wanted to visualize the solution, and cobbled together haskell, graphviz, and a couple shell scripts.

Then, of course, I saw my solution was wrong and had to re-work it.

Spoiler, of course:

My whole argument has been that user-space buffering is the sane thing
to do. Most definitely for something like glibc.

The number of people who go "oh, no, my buffer or randomness could be
exposed by insert-odd-situation-here" is approximately zero, and then
the onus should be on *them* to do something special.

Because *they* are special. Precious little snowflake special.

Almost done with gathering documents. Neighbors randomly put up blue lights today and one of them has his gun safe in a trailer on his front yard. Most likely empty atm.

Really now, I'm already planning on moving and still turning up the heat?

My fucking oven has an update for "Turkey mode" and when I hit install it showed an updating screen for twenty minutes until it restarts back into asking me if I want to install Turkey Mode

Fuck Turkey Mode!!!

Becoming a licensed gunsmith doesn't sound hard- but its probably a lot of b.s.

There will be a two week ban on posting in the Fediverse with no exceptions.

All tags have recently suffered from coordinated attacks to make it unusable with junk posts. In one instance I saw an admin I will not name brag that it buried a post about a user. To cite our rules:

> Don't do shit to make the network or this instance unusable.
> Don't spam.

Usually if you just shitposted in low volumes in a tag I wouldn't consider these rules to be violated. However, given the context of what's happening in the federated network, it will be seen as /contributing/ to spam.

This ban may be extended if it continues.
