Why So Many Control Rooms Were Seafoam Green

bethmathews.substack.com/p/why-so-many-control-rooms-were-seafoam

The Color Theory Behind Industrial Seafoam Green

Pretty pictures! Reminds of Merveilles' seafoam green and of Soviet half-wall-tall colouring. Due to the latter, this colour also bears additional doomer connotations.

I wonder if this colour could work well in computer UIs? Does it work the same on glowing screens?

strcpy: a niche function you don't need

nullprogram.com/blog/2021/07/30

If strcpy is not easily replaced with memcpy then the code is
fundamentally wrong. Either it’s not using strcpy correctly or it’s
doing something dumb and should be rewritten. Highlighting such problems
is part of what makes memcpy such an effective replacement.

One billion, one continent

gemini://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/one-billion-one-continent.gmi

Solderpunk came up with a different way of portraying the future of humanity in sci-fi. Slowly move everybody to one continent. Most people live in 50 megacities. We live and degrowth as long as we can. A fun concept. I myself like space conquering more, to be honest. Maybe combine the two?

Семь предметом для японской женщины — Haiku Daily

t.me/HaikuDaily/1425

В японской культуре есть такое расхожее выражение «нанацу доогу» — семь предметов (или семь инструментов), которые определяют человека по профессии или по его предназначению.

Например, есть список для воина, куда входят: кольчуга( панцирь), катана, длинный меч, лук, стрелы, накидка «хоро» и шлем.
