#TIL using #windows API from #zig code, and it's soo much nicer than its original #cpp. Function arguments (that are usually cryptically named integers) can be easily understood just by browsing their type definitions. Pointers are much more specific. Thanks Johnatan Marler for the zigwin32 bindings!

#TIL that I value natural light in an abode much more than I thought before.

#til that in #mastodon you can

TIL: only 4.3% of the Brazilian Government expenses go to investments. 1.6% to education funding, that is nearly half of the administrative costs (3%). 🙀

Nice chart directly from the Federal Government. Unfortunately, it uses GitHub, though. 😅

Well, #TIL you can submit a title and description via the git CLI just by adding a line break in your commit message. Or, just add -m tag twice.

Better late than never, I guess. I blame .NET and Visual Studio for me not knowing this.

```
git commit -m "TITLE: Commit Title

This will be the description"
```

or

```
git commit -m "Commit Title" -m "This will be the description"
```

#TIL that the exact border between Italy and France is still undecided around the Mont Blanc. France thinks the whole mountain is French, Italy that the border runs exactly along the mountain peak 🏔️

Today I learned about Git Hunks. It's sadly not the name of a boy band or a calendar of Git Hunks.

Today I learned the meaning of 知乎 which means "know?"

#TIL that HDD prices also increased (because of "AI") like the SSD/memory prices before. I was slowly building my home NAS, thinking that if I use HDD, not SSD, then I should race only with the possibility of Internet shutdown in my country and hope that I'll build the machine before the Internet will become unusable or completely turned off, and I will be able to preserve at least something from human knowledge and creativity. But … looks like for now I should race not only with censorship, but also with fucking "AI" corporations

The worst timeline ever, I never saw how the price of something was decreased in my life. When I moved to my city at 2008, the bus fare was near 18 roubles. For now it is 88 roubles — the 389% rise. Fuck this shit.

I think, one time the novel "Walkaway" from Cory Doctorow will become not a novel but a real-life. Because there are no mass-adopted solution for now — you could choose only in between "you own nothing and be happy" and "you own nothing and welcome to GULAG" . So the good enough solution — not to participate in that circus at all and walk away.

TIL that Namibia has made great strides in gender equality in recent years such that from 2021 onwards, Namibia has consistently ranked in the top 10 most gender-equal countries worldwide

#TIL #Mastodon and #Peertube accept "AI" code contributions... 😟😢

#TIL about #monotropism

"One of the positive aspects of being monotropic is the capacity to enter a ‘flow state’ – a term used to describe deep immersion in an activity, heightened focus, creativity and satisfaction.

For Autistic individuals, engaging in activities aligned with their special interests and passions can lead to such flow states, contributing to wellbeing and a sense of fulfilment."

Poliovirus
The following is Prof. Gareth Williams at Gresham College, lecturing on the development of the Polio vaccine.

I've shared (pinned) Vincent Racanello's 3rd year virology course.
I've shared (pinned) Worobey's Influenza lecture.
I have a few other good lectures I have not shared. This is one of them.
