Ah! So the same as the rest of their hard parts, I suppose. I suspected as much, but couldn't seem to find any paper that explicitly stated this.
Thank you!
In regards to use of calcite vs. chitin: doing a quick search: https://www.ualberta.ca/en/earth-sciences/facilities/collections-and-museums/treasury-of-trilobites/index.html
Were trilobites also unique in using calcite in addition to chitin in their exoskeleton? Do any extant arthropods use calcite in any significant way?
Ah, I can try that then, thank you!
OK... so what's the best way to select a different keymap in Wayland? Searching around I see mentions of setting a keymap in config.h and recompiling a compositor.. or 'modifying the system XKB database in /usr/share/X11/xkb' ... or this tool https://github.com/xremap/xremap (have not tried it myself).
I need not just to tweak one or two keys, but to set a entire alt keymap (us,apl). and it has to be changeable on the fly, not statically, via AltGr or other user-defineable key.
I'd like to try KDE again, but last time I tried with wayland the keymap stuff seemed wonky to me.
Yes, I know they are update services; fair point you make, that those not technically-minded should probably leave them on.
However I personally do not appreciate OS updates, no matter their purported criticality, being installed without my express permission. I am aware of Group policies, but Win11 Home does not officially support them (though one can install gpedit.msc manually; however according to sources I researched, not all policies set will even be honoured by the Home edition).
I did consider scheduling it, just hadn't gotten around to trying it out.
If could, I would wipe Win11 and use native Linux but this laptop is too new and support is poor on it; it's gone as soon as practical :)
Ah, good. I wonder why it isn't used more often -- this wouldn't be such a huge problem then I would hope. (Let me guess -- 'convenience', the archenemy of security.)
I don't know much about NPM (having avoided JS as much as possible for my entire life), but golang seems to have a good solution: 'vendoring'. One can choose to lock all external dependencies to local snapshots brought into a project, with no automatic updating, but with the option to manually update them when desired.
W.T.F.
The US needs to clean house, expand the SCOTUS to put these corrupt judges firmly in the minority so they're ineffective for the rest of their miserable life-long-unelected-terms, if it can't outright impeach them!
Aaah! Begone hellspawn!

Best book for learning the ins and outs of MIDI I've ever encountered. Relatively obscure, but an invaluable reference book for anyone wanting to dig into the details of how MIDI works.
What I find interesting, then, is what advantage the trilobites may have gained by using a basic mineral for the lenses vs. organic chitin. Chitin must have a transparent form in order to function for the eyes in modern creatures? Hmm.
I read in one paper that trilobites may have actually formed some kind of dual-layer in their lenses to compensate for the double-refraction property of calcite.
