Previously, a yield strength of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi) was enough for concrete to be rated as “high strength,” with the best going up to 10,000 psi. The new UHPC can withstand 40,000 psi or more.
The greater strength is achieved by turning concrete into a composite material with the addition of steel or other fibers. These fibers hold the concrete together and prevent cracks from spreading throughout it, negating the brittleness. “Instead of getting a few large cracks in a concrete panel, you get lots of smaller cracks,” says Barnett. “The fibers give it more fracture energy.”
The U.S. made history with the first use of its largest bunker-buster bomb. Experts are waiting to see if Iran’s bunkers survived the unprecedented strikes.
Il 5 luglio presso l'Hotel Miramare di Cesentatico (FC), l'artista e scrittore Klaus Zambiasi sarà insignito del trofeo internazionale "Artista dell'anno 2025" per le arti visive. Si tratta di un riconoscimento assegnato da Artexpò Gallery, con il patrocinio della Città di Cesenatico. Le opere di Zambiasi e degli altri artisti premiati saranno esposte nelle sale dell'Hotel e pubblicate in un catalogo dedicato. Il prestigioso riconoscimento per l'artista altoatesino giunge in occasione dei suoi trent'anni di attività nel campo della pittura e al culmine di una stagione ricca di mostre e successi internazionali. Lo scorso marzo, il dipinto che fa da copertina al suo primo romanzo "Il sorriso della luna" (nella foto) è stato esposto sotto forma di poster gigante nella stazione della Metropolitana di Madrid Nuevos Ministerios nell'ambito della seconda edizione di "Madrid Station Exhibition". La stessa opera esposta a luglio nella stazione ferroviaria Shibuya di Tokio, la seconda più frequentata al mondo con 3.6 milioni di persone al giorno. A giugno, tre opere sono state esposte nella stazione ferroviaria di Basilea durante la fiera Art Basel e un'opera è stata esposta nel Museo della Fotografia e Arte di Pechino. Dall'inizio del 2025 e fino alla primavera 2026, inoltre, altre sue opere saranno esposte in diverse gallerie ad Atene, Berlino, Dubai, New York, Palma De Maiorca, Parigi, Venezia, Zugo (Svizzera).
L'artista, inoltre, sarà inserito con una pagina dedicata, nell'Atlante dell'Arte Contemporanea edito dalla Giunti e presentato al "MoMa" di New York, che sarà distribuito alla Biennale di Venezia, alla Fiera del libro di Francoforte e all'Art Basel di Miami, consacrandolo tra i nomi di riferimento dell'arte contemporanea.
Klaus Zambiasi originario di Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantova), vive e lavora tra la provincia di Bolzano e Bratislava (Slovacchia). Nel 2022 ha esordito sulla scena letteraria con il romanzo autobiografico "Il sorriso della luna", seguito da "3 Il Bacio Rubato" (2023) e "L'appuntamento al calar della sera (2024)". I primi due libri sono stati tradotti anche in tedesco.

Hey guys, i am planning to begin my Journaling journey starting today. Any recomendations? I have already tried DayOne and Journey Didn't like them Particularly. DayOne seems uncool and even though they claim, a little unsafe. Plus i once before lost all my journal entries in DayOne bcoz i didn't save the encryption keys in my GoogleDrive. Journey is Worse (my opinion). They keep on pushing me to buy their paid option which costs 4$ per month. Like WTF. Its just a Journaling app. I am not going to try Penzu because i have heard a lot of bad reviews on how they cheat people and stuff. Finally i landed on DD-DigitalDiary which isn't open source. Which Sucks. But at least isn't costing me like 50$ a month or anything. Its mostly free. But i am looking or something better. More specifically OpenSource, Free (or almost free) and idk, modern & sxy Like when will these huge companies understand. Not everything needs to be VC funded. Next i am launching my VC funded Venture backed Fried Eggs company

As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Senator Bernie Sanders wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is.
The other day for laughs in jira I looked at the suggested issues the AI came up with, and they looked like jargon-laden nonsense. But I could see a future where the upper management do nothing business idiots don't care and just slop up a bunch of tasks and assign those out and call it a day's work.
Everything has become an exercise in cosplaying and pantomiming the thing that's supposed to actually happen, and AI is the thing that'll really keep that train rolling. It's a fucking weapons grade, automated potemkin village creator.
We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I'm being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.
Anyway, that's just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn't matter as much as the fact that we're owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What's the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it's often not making our lives better or it's even making our lives worse.

Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old given unprecedented access to some of the most private information on Americans, has reportedly quit his role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency according to Wired. If you don’t remember the name Coristine, you probably remember his nickname, the thing he reportedly told people to call him while he plundered the nation’s data. He went by Big Balls.
Officially, Coristine was an employee of GSA but was working across multiple government agencies, according to Wired. Big Balls was reportedly rooting around in government systems for USAID, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration, among others. It’s not clear how much data to which Coristine ultimately got access. Nor do we know what he, or anyone else affiliated with DOGE, has done with it.
Coristine made an infamous appearance on Fox News where he tried to strengthen Musk’s case that the federal government was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. But he wound up accidentally revealing that he simply had no idea how anything works. Coristine and Musk seemed to believe that because they didn’t know how various things in the government worked, some kind of nefarious activity had been exposed. But it did nothing of the sort.

Come sarebbe d’uopo dire in questi casi… ops; stasera sono esplosa.

Come sarebbe d’uopo dire in questi casi… ops; stasera sono esplosa. Questo non perché sono Megumin (anche se lo sono, quando non indosso le orecchie da gatto), ma perché la mia psiche è sempre più turbata oltre ogni ragionevole margine di miglioramento davvero stabile… anche se le cause della mia progressivamente sempre più dura sofferenza sono un argomento per altre occasioni (specialmente perché è in primis per me difficile capire come mai ciò sia il caso, fino in fondo). Beh, niente di nuovo sotto quel punto di vista — perché, come anche e soprattutto io ricordo, siamo nati (sono nata) per soffrire — e come sempre l’unica cosa che è concessa in tali momenti è il puro e semplice bedrotting di metà/fine giornata: mettersi sul letto a fare niente, aspettando che o il problema passi temporaneamente via da solo, o che subentri la noia così forte da far salire la voglia di fare qualcos’altro, dunque portando alla distrazione in maniera estremamente organica… 🙄
A quanto pare, però, i miei questo sembra(va?)no non averlo correttamente afferrato, perché con indebita preoccupazione proprio a tal riguardo hanno dovuto interrompere il mio girlrotting. Assolutamente in buonafede, ci tengo a precisarlo, e con l’intento di risollevare gli spiriti, ma la strada che porta all’inferno è lastricata di buone intenzioni: infatti, a furia di parlare anziché lasciarmi stare da sola per il tempo necessario a ricollegarmi con le pareti, dicendo una cosa ambigua dietro una cosa fuori luogo una dopo l’altra — facendomi quindi non altro che rimuginare nel mio stato di disperazione presente, accrescendolo — sono esplosa letteralmente, e nell’arco di 5 secondi scarsi sono riuscita a graffiarmi completamente i lati della faccia con le unghie in preda ad uno scatto immediato di dolore spirituale. Nice, well done! (7/10 shtwt approved; di persona è peggio, la fotocamera del 3DS rende malino.) ☠️ A distanza di qualche ora, adesso, da un lato sto meglio, perché il rilascio della tensione è potente, e la distruzione cutanea porta inevitabilmente al rilascio di sostanze chimiche antidolorifiche che sono anche più potenti…però, dall’altro lato, ora giustamente loro sono più preoccupati di prima, e quindi mi dispiace, e quindi spero semplicemente che un raggio cosmico mi prenda e mi fulmini, che non ce la faccio più. Per pura fortuna, lo spacc impetuoso che ho fatto senza neanche accorgermene mi ha distrutto solo i lati della faccia, quindi semmai dovessi uscire di casa e incontrare qualcuno (ahi!) penso che i capelli riescano a coprire tutto sufficientemente bene per evitare domande a cui ovviamente non posso davvero rispondere (e a cui spero di non dover girare questo post… ma, se proprio uscisse fuori la necessità, eccolo fatto). “Mi ha graffiato il gatto” purtroppo non reggerebbe e anzi, sarebbe controproducente, perché si sa che io sono una miciona. 😾
E quindi, boh, non so che dire, difficile concludere ora. L’unica cosa che mi sento sinceramente di aggiungere è che… avevano ragione i nazisti. Così, de botto… ma non senza senso: avevano ragione i nazisti ad eliminare le persone abbastanza neurodivergenti come me. Tanto, vojo dì: sono un fallimento assoluto, e nella mia vita non riesco a costruire assolutamente nulla di grosso (nello specifico, non riesco a scrivere nessun pezzo letterario grosso, ed è questo che nell’ultima settimana mi tormenta terribilmente; e qualora ci riuscissi non fregherebbe comunque a nessuno, in questa epoca storica)… se l’unica cosa in cui riesco ad essere davvero forte è far disperare le poche persone a me vicine, era seriamente meglio non nascere; e con l’epigenetica nazista le cose sarebbero presumibilmente andate a finire proprio così. Buonanotte così, allora!!! 🥰

A combined drone and missile attack on the capital Kyiv overnight on 16-17 June was one of the deadliest there in a year. At least 28 civilians were killed and more than 130 injured. Many others are still reported missing under the rubble of the 35 apartments destroyed that night.
Attacks also reportedly occurred in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv and Kyiv provinces that same night, with two civilians reportedly killed and scores injured in Odesa.
“These levels of death and destruction risk dimming hope for an immediate ceasefire and threaten to undermine prospects for a lasting peace,” UN Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenča said.
[...] The city has come under intensified attack in recent months as Moscow pushes westward beyond its gains around other nearby towns.
According to Filashkin, nearly half the city is without electricity due to shelling, and 1,900 households in the Santurynivka district have no access to gas, with restoration currently impossible. Water is supplied just once a day from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., meeting only 20–25% of the city's needs.
Drone strikes have halted all city bus operations, while the suburban route to Druzhkivka, a nearby town, is operating on a limited basis, Filashkin said.

The notification page layout has changed and there are some issues for me.
Possible factors on my end: - Browser: Zen Browser 1.13.2b, mod of Firefox 139.0.4. - Piefed settings: increased font size, but the Settings page doesn't show me the current size setting so I can't say what it is.
The previous "All" notification screen was clear, compact, had the same height for each notification and only took one click to open anything.
Now the notification heights are variable, some truly huge (as it includes the whole comment being replied to, even the markdown for the URLs of images), replies to comments require an additional click to access, and the "Reply details" line overlaps the notification title. (At least for me, not sure if it's like that for everyone.) EDIT: Also, the nice, immediate indicator of a red dot for an unread notification is now hidden for replies to comments, until clicking "Reply details". ANOTHER EDIT: I just spent a minute hunting down one remaining unread notification, clicking on multiple "Reply details" until I found the right one.
While some of the changes look useful (e.g. distinction between replies to comments and new posts in 'Notify me' communities), they get lost among the confusion created by these issues.
Is there a way to make things a bit tidier and easier to scan, with fewer clicks needed to get to things? (I looked in Settings but didn't notice anything that might make a difference.)
There's nothing wrong with posting here, not everybody has a codeberg account or has any idea how to report an issue.
I actually don't think this has an existing issue on codeberg since it is so new, but we have been talking about it in the dev chat room. I am sure it is going to be addressed soon.
Thanks for the info, and great to hear devs are discussing it.
I tried registering for Codeberg at the same time as Lemmy, Proton etc but something went wrong. This finally got me to try again, and now I'm in and have added to the existing issue:
Re where to post, some projects have multiple websites and strictly divide content, e.g. Linux Mint forums are user-to-user only, and any actual issues like bugs with the OS should instead be reported on Mint's GitHub.
The overlap of "Reply details" with notification title seems to be fixed for me, too.
Although the other issues are the ones that are more frustrating. E.g. as the red dot is hidden for replies, again I had to click multiple "Reply details" to find the unread one for your message.
I am working on redoing the notifications page a bit. You can see a preview of what it will look like and provide feedback here. It will probably be a day or two for me to finish updating the templates for all the different notification types.
This PR adds htmx to the notifications page. The intent is to enable these features using htmx so that no page load is needed:
- Mark a notification as read
- Mark a notification as unread
- Delete a notification
Using htmx does mess with the…
The height of notifications does vary a bit depending on the type of notification. Some of the admin notifications in particular are a bit taller than the others, but I did try to tame them. The nice thing about how the notifications were re-architected by Jolly is that each one is a separate template file. So, if we want to tweak a specific type of notification, it is easier to do now compared to before.
Raw markdown in the notification is good feedback. This isn't something I had tested when working on how these display, I can take a look at this.
ACT Party Leader David Seymour is defending the Regulatory Standards Bill getting only 30 hours of public submissions allocated.
Speaking to media, Seymour said the bill was "probably the most consulted on bill this century" given it would be the bill's fourth time through the house.
But, Labour's Regulation spokesperson Duncan Webb said it was the "most rejected bill we've ever seen" and Seymour wanted to "slip it through under the radar".
Toop said it was a "travesty" that there would only be 30 hours for people to be heard in by Select Committee and the bill would insert "far-right ideology" into the law making process.
"I don't believe there's ever been a bill in this Parliament where every single written submission has been heard. A lot of people make written submissions and they ask not to be heard. That's normal." Seymour said.
Labour's Duncan Webb said the bill had so far been "rejected every time" and Seymour did not want the bill to go through a full process.

It's a very non-representative, very small sample. The error bars in the statistical inference to the whole population includes both "very common" and "one-in-a-million".
What delayed my personal decision was 1) new, scary health issues I've been dealing with, and 2) personal ambivalence. What swung the balance was the fact that (maybe, hopefully) I'm not going blind anytime soon, plus I was really starting to miss sharing my BD findings with the world. (more on why I feel so driven on that in a future post, perhaps)
But why PieFed, anyway? Welp, because it will seemingly allow a bunch of our classic content to be preserved. I feel like that's very much a good thing rather than 'completely starting over.'
But what if the move doesn't work out for reasons X, Y or Z? Then we'll move to the next-best instance that I know of in the few days we have left here, and I'll be sure to mark that heavily across our sub/community, so that people will have an idea where to follow us who are looking at cached versions of EGN+.
Btw, huge thanks to Thomas Verguet & Bastien Orenge for this artwork from Magellan, which I hope to get to, one of these days. (boy, I sure seem to say that a lot, lately XD)
Oh, and sadly, I'm not quite sure how to do a group-invite to our ~1,260 subscribers to the new place. If anyone reading has some expertise on that, now would be a nice time to chime in... 😅
Btw2, "PieFed" as I understand it is not just a classic instance, but also a significant 'dev' instance (like Lemmy.ML) that's a major fork of the Lemmy software which federates beautifully upon the Fediverse. Eh, note-- I'm not trying to point fingers or be an ass here, but PF really does seem like it's one of our sister/brother software variations that works in all the right ways with our own Lemmy / FV software and community... if that makes sense?
I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well
Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@[url=https://lemm.ee/]lemm.ee[/url] to !barcelona@piefed.social
piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.
It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.
The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.soc…), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.
This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.
When using the 'migrate tool,' I don't seem to be seeing a 'closing message' as I'd hoped, but maybe the form isn't set up to give me one? Eh, whatever. So then, here's an extra confirmation attempt to make it clear that I'm asking PF to migrate my classic Lemm.ee community over to PF, as follows:
