  • Yeah, that’s much different than the brown bread my family calls Irish soda bread. Here’s the recipe:

    • ½ lb./225g whole wheat flour (1-3/4 c.)
    • 3 oz./75g unbleached white flour (2/3 c.)
    • 1½ oz./40g porridge oatlets (3 heaping Tbsp.)     (steel cut oatmeal or John McCann–in a tin)
    • 1½ oz./40g  wheat bran (1 c.)
    • 1½ oz./40g wheat germ (1/2 c.)
    • ½ tsp. baking soda
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • 1 pint/600 ml buttermilk (2-1/8 to 2-1/3 c.)
    1. Preheat a cool oven, 300ºF/150ºC/Gas mark 2.
    2. Grease and flour a 2 lb./900g loaf tin (I use an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch bread pan).
    3. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly.  Then, add them to the buttermilk and mix quickly to make a wet dough (I have found it better to use only 500 ml or 2-1/8 c. buttermilk).  Turn into loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven on the very bottom shelf for 2 to 2-1/4 hrs.  When cooked, the bread will shrink from the pan slightly and sound hollow when rapped on the bottom with the knuckles.

    The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

    The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.



  • Interesting; it reminds me a little of an addon from maybe a dozen years ago that would do the same kind of thing but with fiction. So you’d be reading a post on Slashdot or whatever, and the addon would find a sequence of words that matched the start of one of the stories it had, and it would add a few words of that story. If you noticed, you could click on them to get more of the story, and if you kept clicking it would eventually replace the text of the whole page with the story. It was a really neat way of just stumbling across fiction. Wish I could remember the name of the addon. For some reason I think it was Australian, maybe put together by a university or an arts council or something?
