Torment Nexus R Us

Of course Andy Weir doesn't want to see a sci-fi franchise evolve with real society, he's effectively written the same mid book three times in a row and keeps getting rewarded for it.

Everything I've learned about mogging and maxxing has been against my will

while the Wheel of Time show was airing the various WoT subreddits were all pretty draconian in how you could talk about the show, in a similar vein to this.

I don't think your positive experience is universal to everyone. 2-column is a de facto standard for academic papers, but I find it much harder to read them on small screens than on larger tablets or monitors. I'd prefer a reflowable format like EPUB but LaTeX -> static PDF is reigning champ there.

New "XKCD Standards" comic just dropped. Now we just need a reliable way to concisely differentiate them in conversation so that everyone accurately knows which one is meant.

A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

I want the message in several talks to reach people by meeting them where they are, far far more than I care one whit about a given streaming site's tech stack or ideology or allegiance. I just want the damn thing to work well. Those are not concerns with a mainstream service.

Devil's devil's advocate: I felt compelled to pre-apologize when I sent people a link to some ATProto-native option, three different times to three different recipients. And the mobile experience and stream-to-TV experience for the scrappy jam sites was somewhere between indifferent and nonexistent.

It is always upsetting how effective this is

Thank you for the ping! Rewatched it a couple nights ago on vodfrog and shared it out 😁

Is that because it wasn't funny in 2016 and REALLY isn't funny now?

how many Inspiration points spent to reroll tho

The same author recently posted an mdbook of Rust crates recommended for compiler development, and most of the public commentary for that was that it was plentiful with hallucinated details, so I wouldn't have trouble believing it of this post either.

"It's like, when did Star Wars become all political and anti-fascist?" "1977."

I did not, until reading this thread just now, realize this was meant to be a 4/1 joke and based on the replies to Sascha here, I'm in good company.

@iame.li Will there be a full length recording of the Landslide keynote available in the future? Very eager to share that one with folks who couldn't attend or stream.

Sure, some entries on either side of the aisle get it right, paid definitely doesn't have a monopoly on pulling that off. I was mostly commenting to yes-and about "macOS software tended to be paid" than the focus-stealing for Sparkle-style updaters - which irritate me too!

I don't personally think either category (paid vs FOSS) is inherently superior by their nature alone, but there are some problem domains with more UX challenges where the extra resources have allowed the paid stuff to *really* outstrip any FOSS offerings on the experiential and polish aspects.

I think there's a lot of truth to this, although I theorized about it a little backwards. Folks who are strongly ideologically invested in FOSS software and operating systems don't always make a good target market for paid software. Folks who buy expensive proprietary hardware trend more open to it.

If you know and like Vim keys, there's evil-mode. AFAIK no one has successfully done a standalone but compatible and robust org-mode parser elsewhere, but it's been a while since I last looked.

There's square bracket keys for archive-and-next or archive-and-previous as well!

I've decided I'd rather "don't recommend this channel to me" and miss future content that might be good or at least relevant, than keep reinforcing that particular part of the stupid algo

Hulk from one of the Avengers movies, "I see this as an absolute win!"

I'm honestly happy for them, hah

Holy smokes, that ATmosphereConf talk from @kissane.myatproto.social . Just incredible.

So is the idea that if the server self-reporting and the clients reporting of that server don't agree, the stats aren't considered valid for that particular datapoint?

I don't think I have the math/cryptography knowledge to think of anything that isn't easily vulnerable to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_a...

If some trenchcoated, sunglasses-at-night man turned up to offer me a choice, and said I could take a blue pill and wake up in a simulation of 1999 while my body directly fueled a machine apocalypse, I would be snatching and dry-swallowing that blue pill before he could finish his second sentence.
