deo,

unlike that window…

deo,

welp, there goes my Tuesday.

deo,

Yes, but the SEO methods and Google’s ranking methods have been evolving together over time. Meaning SEO used in content from some time ago may have less impact on the results you see today. Of course, this is just a hypothesis based on a thing I read a few months ago that I can’t even tell you the name of lol

deo,

But it does mean that the reviews you based your decisions on are for old models (that may have sense been upgraded or changed) or discontinued products.

deo,

OH! I see it! It’s a little guy saluting

deo,

I think, from the photon’s perspective, the time between emission and absorption is instantaneous (since they’re traveling at the speed of light). i imagine a photon’s journey would feel like utter chaos.

deo,

platformers very often include coyote-time to make jumps feel better and to account for imprecise reaction times of players, but that would be cool to see it as a legit mechanic

deo,

to me at least, the picture made it look like the galaxies and stuff were inside the “bread” of the donut, as opposed to being “frosting” on the surface.

deo,

Because “tasteless” also has the alternative definition, meaning “gaudy”, “tacky”, or “pretentious”. So, I think they did indeed think about it, perhaps even longer than you did before getting all worked up over it.

deo,

You ever play the video game Inside?

deo,

While i do think life exists elsewhere in the universe, I think the chances of extraterrestrial biological entities coming to our planet is exceedingly unlikely. Space is just too big, and there isn’t any hard evidence that faster-than-light travel is even possible.

Although, the universe isn’t just big – it’s old. There could be some ancient civilization from an ancient planet that became uninhabitable long ago. If they were technologically advanced enough to escape their solar system before things went tits-up AND were able to live multiple generations fully in space AND they just so happened to set out in our direction, I guess it’s possible that they found us. Even then, i would expect any UFOs or whatever would merely be probes, not the actual biological entities themselves.

deo,

I use FiraCode Nerd Font Mono instead, but it also does not have a specific italic font. In my config, only the “normal” section is defined, but all my bold and/or italic text looks like it should. Apparently, alacritty will apply a heavier weight or slant to the “normal” type face if you simply omit the “bold” or “italic” sections. So, what you have right now should Just Work.

Allegedly, you can omit the “style” specification in the “italic” section (ie: just add “italic”: {“family”: “FiraMono Nerd Font”}, to your config snippit above), but i haven’t actually tried doing it that way.

deo,

I’m traveling forward in time right now.

deo,

The Retina Wikipedia page seems to agree with you:

In vertebrate embryonic development, the retina and the optic nerve originate as outgrowths of the developing brain, specifically the embryonic diencephalon; thus, the retina is considered part of the central nervous system (CNS) and is actually brain tissue.

deo,

Sure. It all kinda has to connect to the brain somehow, or our naturally occurring meat suit wouldn’t work either, lol. But i think your proposed “adapters” may have to do more postprocessing of the signal for some senses more than for others:

In vertebrates, the CNS also includes the retina and the optic nerve (cranial nerve II), as well as the olfactory nerves and olfactory epithelium. As parts of the CNS, they connect directly to brain neurons without intermediate ganglia.

Which kinda makes me think we should put a nose on the image in the post, while we’re at it.

But i’m also just reporting back from a Wikipedia rabbit-hole. I don’t really know much at all about anatomy.

deo,

Same here. It was a life-changing discovery. Until the power went out and all the settings got reset… Too bad I’m a lazy asshole. Those were some good ol’ days…

deo,

I truly appreciate the pic! They’ve been putting in a new housing development nearby, and apparently have no idea how to NOT knock my power out at least once a week (which as a work-from-home programmer is… not ideal). So I am just gonna wait until the blasting calms down before i try to figure it out again lol

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

deo,

Due to some poorly placed quotes, I managed to create a subdirectory named ~ in my home folder. You can imagine what happened next. Luckily, I had just gotten my backup system up and running the day before, so nothing was lost.

deo,

Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States “Unitied Mexican Stateans”? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it’s silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas “American” anyway; they are two different continents! “North American” or “South American” would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

deo,

It’s not about size. It’s the fact that the United States of America has the word “America” in it. And I don’t refer to the US as “America” (unless I’m being cheeky, though in those cases, I spell it 'Murica), but I do refer to people from the US as “American”.

And I know this is all kinda pedantic. I just think it’s fun to talk about words. I get the feeling you read some snark into my pervious comment, but that really wasn’t my goal.

deo,

For pizza, we preheat our oven at 25°F higher than the cook temperature, with the pizza stone already in there, then turn it down when we slide the pizza in. Perfectly done crust every time. Before we started doing that, we were experimenting with waiting some number of minutes after the oven said it was done preheating before putting the pizza in (as the preheat sensor doesn’t know that the pizza stone takes longer to get to temperature than the air), but the high-temp preheat seems to give better and more consistent results. Our oven also beeps when it’s done preheating, so no need for additional timers either!

deo,

or cut the size but keep the price the same, then release a new “jumbo size” that’s as big as the previous size (with the new and improved higher unit price), then discontinue the “standard” size.

deo,

It’s a plot by Big Typesetting to sell more letters. Wake up sheeple!

deo,

Has that ever stopped them before?

deo,

Definitely depends on the concentration and how quickly you get it off, but probably just a little scab and then some superficial scarring.
