Entropy, a measure of freedom in a contained environment.

The question implies the answer...

Interesting, I wonder if randomness and jitter as its source play a part here. Than, is this the visualisation of a True Random Number Generator?

Why not?
The variation of philosophical implications are possibly unpredictable by themselves...
Do not drop it :-)
Is the format in which it is written into the glass also sustainable?
Tried that a long long time ago with a failed harddisk, worked.
I tried it but the biggest problem I have with Tiddlywiki is the layout: the 'tiddler' box is too small. And changing the layout is not easy.
Tiddlywiki makes use of a browser and in that regard it is platform independent, right?

A class-A, solid state, single ended headphone amplifier, not my design, turned out to be very nice sounding: https://github.com/Wanderingidea/Formula3HP-headphone-amplif...

Re:Ask HN: Quit caffeine? Before and after anecdotes on Sunday February 20, 2022 @05:40AM (#30404746)
On holiday I stopped drinking coffee. Then for about one week the muscles in my back hurt so much I could not sleep without pain killers. After that week, no problem anymore. This is repeatable, every holiday same symptom.

B.t.w. drinking just one cup of coffee per day breaks this symptom almost immediately. And drinking tea does not help at all.

Maybe I should add I drink coffee since very young.

That solved it, thanks! :-) Now I have nothing but good words about Speedcrunch!
Re:SpeedCrunch on Thursday December 23, 2021 @02:40PM (#29665646)
One thing I do not like about Speedcrunch: there is a slight delay between pressing enter and showing the result, just enough to be noticed.

I remember vaguely Diskeeper on OpenVMS, still wonder if it helped or not.
Re:Why is houseplant advice so bad? on Saturday October 30, 2021 @05:35AM (#29047369)
I believe you but I already use vinegar in small quantities for years just to bring the pH down to around 6. My plants thrive.
Re:Why is houseplant advice so bad? on Saturday October 30, 2021 @03:02AM (#29046663)
Acidify your tap water with cooking vinegar - it helps.
