I asked them to support JPEGXL by default.

If it were constructive it would be called a discussion, not an argument or debate.

I learned better in 2012 when they tried to put an Amazon search bar in their start menu, the same thing people are complaining about with windows today.

If I wanted to use corposhit I would have stayed with windows.

Someone should post a Chinese cabbage or Jerusalem artichoke as well.

Reminds me a lot of this image:

The really interesting thing about costasiella kuroshimae is that its digestive system branches and goes up into all of those ‘leaves’, which is how the algae makes its way there to have its chloroplasts extracted.

Most diagrams don’t include the mesentery, so people just think their intestines are sitting there like a pile of rope inside their torso.

Solar panels aren’t worth it for a normal EV, but supposedly the Aptera is so small, lightweight, and aerodynamic (with that teardrop shape) that they actually add a significant amount of range.

Remember back when the progress bar on the nyancat video was a nyancat?

That sounds really interesting. I never thought about it that way before but I guess (dry) snow isn’t very conductive.

Are there any articles about or pictures of this project out there anywhere?

So, I think the whole “well intentioned but hubristic scientist goes too far, tramples on the feet of god!” trope is pretty stupid in a lot of stories (although I still love a story about a character playing with forces they don’t understand if it’s executed well). But I also think you really have to consider where the “mad scientist” archetype comes from before you write it off as purely anti-intellectual:

1. To a large degree the mad scientist is an updated version of the evil wizard. Victor Frankenstein, the prototypical mad scientist, was trained in alchemy as well as chemistry and biology. Very often (such as in this very post) their laboratories are depicted as being in castles or even wizard towers.

2. Frankenstein was partly based on the sort of people who robbed graveyards. The more modern ‘howie lab coat, rubber gloves, and goggles’ mad scientist exploded in popularity after WWII, probably because of people like mengele and the invention of the atomic bomb.

There’s other themes present in the archetype of course (I already mentioned hubris and man’s vs god"s domain above, but there’s all the other stuff going on in Frankenstein too), but yeah. The ‘mad scientist’ archetype is a little bit like taking a normal scientist and removing their humanity and morals, leaving only their intellect and ambition/ego behind. A little bit like how a warewolf is a man stripped of all morals and self control, leaving only bestial impulses behind.

Back then adding a word to a search query also made it more specific. You could easily narrow a search down to just a few results, or no result at all if that specific combination of words had never been written. Now adding another search term just makes the search less specific.

You can try to approximate the old behavior by wrapping every single word in quote marks but it’s not the same.

Huh?

It’s the combination of FPTP voting and the presidential government structure.

In a parliamentary system third parties are more viable because they can act as “king maker” to one of the two larger parties.

Of course a proportional voting system like STV is even better for party diversity.

They’ve done that periodically for years.

I don’t dual boot anymore but when I did I kept each installation on a separate hard drive for that reason.

My condolences.

The sculptor must’ve looked at all those statues that have cloth draped over bodies and said “I can do you one better”.

Where do I sign up for my “doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can control the path of hurricanes with a weather machine” award?
