Slept from ten to six-thirty. Woke briefly around two.
High of seventy-seven today.
It's foggy this morning.
Work:
- Prep for property copies
Done.
- Configure switch for HZ
Done.
Twenty-minute walk at lunch.
Sunny and warmer.
Saw two seagulls, a pigeon, a little white butterfly, and a flying blackish grasshopper.
I think these flying blackish grasshoppers I see so often are Carolina locusts (which I vaguely recall that looking up a few summers ago).
They're sort of a taupe color on the ground, with their wings closed.
Flying, they're a blackish-brown with a white fringe along the bottom of the wings.
They remind me a bit of a Gothic Lolita --- black dress trimmed with white lace.
Home:
- Install OpenBSD patch
Done.
- Work on Go static site generator
Why is `axen0` sometimes (50%) not recognized when my OpenBSD NUC boot?

> I guess actually I'll keep the "USB Legacy" feature on from now and on as AFAIK it's needed for booting off USB block devices which is handy sometimes, however it was a really strange side-effect that disabling it would make USB3 devices in particular not detect on boot.
This is on a boot where it _was_ detected:
--- nanook ~ $ dmesg | grep axen
axen0 at uhub0 port 12 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX Elec. Corp. AX88179" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 4
axen0: AX88179, address 8c:ae:4c:f4:99:9c
rgephy1 at axen0 phy 3: RTL8169S/8110S/8211 PHY, rev. 5
--- nanook ~ $ usbdevs -v | grep -i ax
port 12 addr 4: super speed, power 124 mA, config 1, AX88179(0x1790), ASIX Elec. Corp.(0x0b95), rev 1.00, iSerialNumber 008CAE4CF4999C
After boot where it was not detected:
--- nanook ~ $ dmesg | grep axen
axen0 at uhub0 port 12 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX Elec. Corp. AX88179" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 4
axen0: AX88179, address 8c:ae:4c:f4:99:9c
rgephy1 at axen0 phy 3: RTL8169S/8110S/8211 PHY, rev. 5
--- nanook ~ $ usbdevs -v | grep -i AX
[...nothin'...]
Is there any way to ask OpenBSD to redetect/reprobe USB devices short of a reboot?
A pinnacle of seventeenth-century information design:

> In 1619, Martin Meurisse (1584–1644), a Franciscan professor of philosophy at the Grand Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris, became embroiled in a debate with the Protestant pastor François Oyseau (1545–1625) about the significance of the rituals of the mass. In the heat of the exchange, and riled by an accusation that he was a poor logician, Oyseau decried Meurisse to be an incompetent judge as he was “a logician only in picturing and copper-plate engraving.”1 Oyseau’s barb was alluding to a series of extravagantly engraved thesis prints, broadsides incorporating both text and image, that Meurisse had designed for his philosophy students to use during their oral examinations. Although for Oyseau they were mere “frivolous allegories”, these pedagogical prints are now considered among the most important early modern images of philosophy, and their inventive iconography inspired new visualizations of thought in a range of drawn and printed sources: from the lecture notebooks of students in Leuven to eighteenth-century German textbooks.
> Logic instruction at this time was based primarily on a collection of texts by Aristotle known as the Organon and on Porphyry’s third-century text, Isagoge, which served as a preface to the Organon.5 The teaching of these treatises reflected the view that logic should be organized into the three mental operations: apprehension, judgment, and ratiocination (or reasoning by using syllogisms). It is through apprehension, the first operation, that the conception of an object or term is brought to mind: for example, the apprehension of such concepts as “dog” and “mammal”. Through judgment, the second operation, simple concepts are then combined or divided to create propositions ( “Dogs are mammals”). By way of ratiocination, the third operation, the mind organizes these propositions to form syllogisms ( “Dogs are mammals / All mammals are animals / Thus dogs are animals”).
> Altogether the broadside allows viewers to grasp at a glance how a philosophical discipline can be divided into its parts and how its parts relate to one another and the greater whole. The individual sections of the print cannot be fully appreciated when seen in isolation; they gain their significance and meaning from their location within the broadside’s spatial system.
