A pyramid is just a cone with a square base.

Lifter ,

No, a cone can have any flat shape as its base, wherefor a pyramid - which only has four sides - is also a cone.

Lifter ,

Luckily 2 = 2!

This graph is useless without a source. We don’t know how the data was collected or how many data points are included (or discarded). This is probably just lying with statistics 101.

Oh I didn’t realize it was from the article because there is no source!

Insomnia suddenly turned into a ransomware. Pay up or have all you dara lost!

A few days later Insomnium popped up supporting the old file format.

Pique or peak? vocabulary.com/…/pique-my-interest-vs-peak-my-int…

Lifter ,

That’s not a simple shape. Why would people want to talk about it?

Lifter ,

That’s not how pricing works. They already have the price they think makes them the most money. Raising prices means losing customers to competition, netting a loss.

So they would just lose 1000 customers and not raise the price because that would mean an even higher loss.

It’s different, of course when including that all ISPs would be hit with this. One can only speculate what will happen. All those pirates will want alternative ISPs, probably paying extra for privacy. The rest will stay in a dying market where competition for the remaining customers would be fierce, probably with lower prices.

Lifter ,

Why would you think full stack developers make more money in general?

Lifter ,

I prefer to use statisics rather than anecdotal evidence. The stack overflow survey shows full stack pretty far down:

“It depends” is a good answer, and is in line with me questioning the above comment.

Here’s a link to a recent huge worldwide study: survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/work#salary

There are so many weird assumptions here. There is more than a hand moving when a slap is performed.

A skilled slapper could put more of their body weight behind the slap. I’d assume at least 40 kg or even more as the average slap.

Uhh and 100 ° C is also really hot.

It’s a way to donate money without donating money. Basically a money laundering scheme.

Size doesn’t say much about mass though.

Lifter ,

I’m no astrologer but from what I’ve learned, we also need to look at the color to glassify stars into categories. It varies a bit though in each category so it’s a blunt tool.

Then there are other objects like gas clouds and even galaxies. For those, we have no idea of the density distribution, so radial size gives us even less info.

Lifter ,

Might be because I’ve been reporting all sponsored content as spam.

It’s even worse when you can tell they really tried and still end up with spaghetti. Even mid- to senior developers do this. Rhe more senior they claim to be are, the more embarrasing when you have to get the stick.

Some people try to be so clever with fancy design patterns or bit-tricks, instead of just solving the problem, you now have two problems and a solution to one of them.

Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve...

Lifter ,

Stardew valley has split screen support on PC!

Lifter ,

Yep that’s perfect. They get to be the “farm hand” and get their own little cottge and everything! You can buy more cottages at the carpenter if you are more than two people.

Lifter ,

Yes, both of those may already be servers

Lifter ,

Redis, rabbitmq. There are infrastructure where all nodes work but only one node is responsible for properly and timely synchronizing changes, which is a hard problem to solve in a distributed fashion.

Lifter ,

I have an alias that tries both names

Lifter ,

It has similarities though, as pointed out in orher comments. For one, a user might be more careful with downvotes if they are afraid of negative consequences e.g. harassment. With piblic votes, there would therefore be a bias towards upvotes and and people abstaining from downvotes, i.e. less interaction in total.

Downvotes serve a purpose today, letting us quickly scan which comments are controversial or even harmful to the conversation. I, for one, usually sort most threads by votes and then skip the comments with many downvotes but for controversial topics, I instead seek out the comments that have both many upvotes and downvotes.

These would be harder to find given the above bias.

New Cobalt-Free Silicon EV Battery Is The Best Thing Ever (cleantechnica.com)

“This breakthrough development translates into a remarkable improvement in cell-core energy density, reaching 2,000Wh/L in batteries and approximately 1,700Wh/L in full-size EV batteries – more than double the performance of current state-of-the-art technologies,”...

Interesting typo. Almost like a Freudian slip but with melting batteries instead.

Indian airline tests feature that lets women book seats away from men (www.cbsnews.com)

India’s largest budget carrier, IndiGo, is the first airline to trial a feature that lets female passengers book seats next to other women to avoid sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a man in a move designed to make flying more comfortable for female passengers, according to a CNBC report....

Lifter ,

How about “we let private companies segregate in whichever ways they want!”?

Lifter ,

Yes but I find all this both racist and sexist. Not all men in India are creeps, even if may be a rampant problem. Shouldn’t they instead try to punish the weirdos?

Lifter ,

Or just kill the poor people by sending them to any meaningless war. /s

Lifter ,

“Never install, carry or handle”. OK but what are they for then?

Lifter ,

It’s actually the company’s problem. They usually opt to add more debt though, rather that wade through the old stuff.

In the end, all software sucks and should be replaced as soon as possible. Code quality is a lie we tell ourselves so that we can sometimes be proud of our work. It’s usually the code we are most proud of that is the worst. Design patterns everywhere making the vode overly convoluted and “future proof”. The only future proofing that happens is that no-one will understand it, so they won’t change it. Trying to design for the future usually makes it harder in the future.

I guess that wouldn’t help the deaf people though. (:

Lifter ,

That’s the usual open source way. The config probably came later so they just added the option without changing the default because that would break backward compatibility.

And there would be too much boring work to build a migration.

Drunken driver who snapped photo going 141 mph before deadly collision imprisoned for 17 years (abcnews.go.com)

Darryl Anderson was drunk behind the wheel of his Audi SUV, had his accelerator pressed to the floor and was barreling toward a car ahead of him when he snapped a photo of his speedometer. The picture showed a car in the foreground, a collision warning light on his dashboard and a speed of 141 mph (227 kph)....

Maybe competitors are only up to 200 per year and these guys finally achieved 300 per year?

Lifter ,

This will lead to change fatigue. People will rather not cleanup as they go anymore and just get the work done, with worse and worse code quality as a result.

Lifter ,

Bank holidays would be really awkward. You start wort at 23 and the next day is off so you would just have to work that one hour.

Office workers could probably move hours around. It would get complicated for shift workers though. Paying overtime for work on holidays?

Lifter ,

That’s not true at all, mathematically. That’s why we have a measurement for co-variance or correlation. If two dimensions are 100 correlation, they can most definitely be reduced to one.

19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.

Wow. What does that even mean?

Lifter ,

I dunno but we have this dish in Sweden called blodpalt. Bread with blood. I guess you can’t sacrifice those.
