lime!

not exactly “a” building, but i live around 20 minutes from a copper mine which was in active use from around 900AD to within my lifetime. it’s a museum today.

they are also working on a follow-up, uv. not really a fan of writing tooling in another language but it works really well.

honestly i expected the fifth panel to be full of things like “GIL”, “2to3”, “virtualenv” “pip vs conda vs poetry vs…”, “mypy”, etc

i don’t think any manufacturer publishes the voltage their devices run at, could be anywhere from 3.3 to 5V. so i don’t know how an end-user is supposed to compare battery sizes between devices.

the spec is 10 chapters. everything is unquoted by default, so parsers must be able to guess the data type of every value, and will silently convert them if they are, but leave them alone otherwise. there are 63 possible combinations of string type. “no” and “on” are both valid booleans. it supports sexagesimal numbers for some reason, using the colon as a separator just like for objects. other things of this nature.

i can see what it points to. you can’t claim the statement is unfalsifiable just because you didn’t see the issues before removal. like, this is not proof-of-god tier stuff.

it took you as long to find that link as it would have to look up the thing they gave you. this is not kindergarten, nobody owes you you their time. you are expected to be able to find and evaluate the validity of information yourself.

is this a good time to remind everyone of the horrific implications of cars 2?

you could always paste it into the browser and see what it makes, but it looks to be a lot of the same color…

all ice cream vans in my country play the same, bespoke song

yeah, Uniper is a major stakeholder in the Oskarshamn and Forsmark power plants, and it was absorbed into the German state in 2022.

where do socks go in the dryer?

mfer nationalised the comments section just like they did the swedish nuclear power plants

so, a danish flag.

no, the frog explicitly dies having not noticed.

not only that imo, with this extra layer it serves to illustrate how the complacency is not innate. everybody has a breaking point, but we have been told that we will just take it if it is gradual enough.

i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we’ve so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.

let’s get rid of the inverse square law. falloff is now linear.

i fixed an old mod i published on steam years ago.

i randomly got a ping on a workshop item for tabletop simulator that i hadn’t touched in aaages. in 2019, someone in my friend group had the idea to replicate the TechDif “Two of these people are lying” format, so i hacked together writeable and shuffleable note cards we could use to play online. a week or so ago i got a ping on that item, it was someone asking if they could ask me a question (never ask to ask, kids). this made me realize that it had hundreds of downloads, which made me a bit self-conscious about the code. looking at the other comments, i found some years old feature requests which i stayed up all night implementing.

the most interesting part (or gross, depending on your pov) was the request to make a card read-only. there’s no way to mark a text entry box as read-only, but i found out that they are only interactable on one side. so i added a toggle that rotates the text box so the back side faces up, and sets the scale to -1 which mirrors the whole thing.
