Yeah I really wish Firefox ignored all of the dynamic “pages” or whatever it uses that causes back to just go to a different part of the same page. Go back to the last page that I clicked a link on. I know how to scroll back up.

If someone has problem x but doesn’t want others to know about it, how would they behave?

If someone didn’t have problem x and didn’t want others to think they did, how would they behave?

And most importantly, how would you differentiate between the two cases? Don’t just stop after the first question.

The last time you remember getting drunk.

Reddit embracing tipping and gig culture.

Not all of us are blessed with the incredible talent of the writers of the nine-time Golden Globe-nominated motion picture Barbie, two-time Critic’s Choice Movie Award-winning actor Margot Robbie.

It’s not so much about wanting this user base as it is eliminating potential competition and maybe stamping out a place on the internet where people can freely and openly communicate.

The problem with that is that the subduction rifts generally also have volcanoes that spew a bunch of that material back to the surface/atmosphere. It might take a few centuries for it to go through all that, but IMO better to bury it in one place and risk future people not understanding it (they’ll figure it out quickly enough if they are human or similar intelligence) than to put it somewhere where the Earth itself will eventually reject it violently and people affected won’t have much choice or understanding of what happens as a result.

I love the idea of vertical farms, especially with being able to use physical barriers instead of pesticides and herbicides, but I do wonder if it can really replace the hundreds of millions of acres currently used for farming in the US alone.

Yeah, this is one of the few cases where going a bit Karen is called for. Fucking marketers.

And I think that will go both ways. I mean, we all already have the option of joining threads right now to interact with those 100M users but I have a feeling most that are here aren’t.

Their joining the fediverse will be more disruptive than their leaving it I think. And that’s not even considering the higher costs to anyone running instances, since all that extra volume won’t be processed and stored for free (though admittedly I am not familiar with the implementation details of how federated content is handled).

Or from another angle, they won’t be able to entirely pull the plug. If they try to but users still want to be on mastodon, they can find another way.

That said, I support the immediate defederation with any threads instances.

And this is another reason why “antisemitism” shouldn’t be used in bad faith to describe people critical of Israel. Not only does it water the term down, but it also emboldens the actual antisemitics into thinking there’s a lot of support for that shit so they do stupid shit like this.

I hate how tempered glass is the premium standard. I’d rather have glass that is easier to break if I fuck up but doesn’t have a chance to spontaneously shatter.

I had a TV stand do that once, luckily I was the only one there when it happened. If it had happened two nights earlier, it would have sprayed glass shards all over my sleeping daughter. It was energetic enough that I found some pieces I missed on the other side of the room when I was moving out.

Tempered glass furniture looks great, I’ll admit, but never again.

Unfortunately, your score is too low to have that opinion.

I don’t think it’s really about the shoes as it is saying “I’ve got so much money I can overpay this much on shoes and still make it to this dinner party instead of spending my time wondering how I’ll eat or make rent”. Maybe combined with a curiosity about what kind of shoes 50k will get you.

My leather wallet has had random bits of recycled cardboard used to add stiffness falling out of it for a while now. It still functions, but I’m pretty sure some of the pockets are now more accurately tunnels to other pockets.

Also they have no issue bringing up anything that supports their arguments, and will argue against that with all their might when it is used against them.

It is an international waterway so they are entitled to traverse it. Just like everyone else is.

Things like that have been around for a long time. It was like two decades ago that I saw this shader scheme in softimage|xsi.

For implementing something like that, each node in that graph would have an array of inputs and outputs. Each of those would have a type like vector, scalar, colour, string. Then you only allow connections if the inputs and outputs match types (though you can also have conversion nodes or selectors that say pick the red channel of a colour to turn it into a scalar). Each input can be set to a constant value instead of connecting something else to it. Outputs don’t need to be connected, which is mostly useful if a node has multiple outputs. Then each node has an evaluation function that takes all input parameters and maybe internal configuration parameters (though you might as well make everything an input param since there’s no real functional difference) and uses them to calculate the outputs, which it then sends on to anything connected to those.

I’m not much of a UI guy but displaying it for the GUI would just involve drawing boxes or some shape for the node, then spaces for each of the inputs on the left side and outputs on the right side maybe colour code them by type, and lines running along the connections. Then just add the name and/or other visual information you want to display and positional information to let users move it around their work area.

Yeah, GUIs are great. I especially like having multiple tabs to organize my terminals for different tasks.
