Internet hugboxes have created the worst personality disorders in the history of the human race.
@thor the economy of scale is a blessing and a curse
@LouisIngenthron @lucifargundam @fluffy @Archivist oh, makes sense, I forgot these are pretty popular there.
@LouisIngenthron @lucifargundam @fluffy @Archivist every time a major tornado happens I see a lot of footage with entire neighbourhoods of american homes disintegrating completely, with no brick walls in sight. Similarly with footage of out of control cars flying through multiple walls like they were nothing.
@lucifargundam @fluffy @Archivist @LouisIngenthron that's true, in regions where disasters of that scale happen and everything will get wrecked anyway you might as well build from the cheaper material. But that's not the entire US. Also when it comes to tornadoes and hurricanes, all but the biggest usually rip the roof off and leave the rest of the brick building mostly intact, unlike with cardboard homes which just entirely become a part of the weather.
@lucifargundam @fluffy @Archivist @LouisIngenthron
Forgive me for not trusting american resources written by people directly benefiting from drywall's need for replacing, but last time I checked brick walls didn't require nearly as much building/repairing since they generally stay where they're built, being solid and all.
As a child I didn't understand why there are scenes of people punching/slamming through a wall in so many movies, it's horribly unrealistic. I only learned later that no, homes in the US have walls out of cardboard. Interesting choice for a country plagued by tornadoes.
Sometimes I wish there was a piece of terrain we could give the wannabe commies to ruin. It wouldn't teach the rest of them anything and they'd claim the same things they're saying every time a socialist economy does a flip, but at least it would be funny.
@smigol @fluffy @AubreyDeLosDestinos @thecyberd3m0n traktowanie surowego BTC jako głównego krypto do bycia używanym jako codzienna waluta to jak traktowanie sztabek złota tak samo xD BTC jest artefaktem prostszych czasów i nie odwzorowuje współczesnych możliwości krypto. A przy okazji, nie ma to jak argument przeciwko używaniu krypto do X "nie używa się krypto do X". 10/10, faktycznie, jednak nie ma co wprowadzać skoro w tym momencie nie jest używane…

I used to think that wallace and gromit "wakeup machine" was a funny gag for kids but now I understand it's a deep yearning for adults
@thecyberd3m0n jestem pewien, że rolnicy będą zachwyceni brakiem ograniczeń dla ich działalności kiedy ich plony będą żarte przez szkodniki których drapieżników sami wytruli i przez zmiany klimatu średnio raz do roku dewastowane przez powódź i/lub suszę.
@smigol @thecyberd3m0n @AubreyDeLosDestinos jeśli przez "konwencjonalne krypto" masz na myśli tylko proof-of-work i tylko layer 1, a na to obawiam się jest trochę za późno biorąc pod uwagę jak popularne są inne rozwiązania które zupełnie nie mają tego problemu.
Polish word for today: "zbezczeszczenie" - desecration / defilement. I just had to look up if I'm writing it correctly…

Tests that fail semiannually? Why not!
Babel's test suite starts failing every half a year as DST starts or ends, and the format string for "detached" times changes.
@mgorny I think it's paradoxically so simple to use that people forget it has "more advanced" functionality.

Is the microwave oven really that hard to use? I mean, it takes a little practice but once you figure out the basics, it just works.
So why do most people still assume the only way to use it is to put random food inside and run it at full power until the food near vaporizes, and then never ever clean it up afterwards?

So GitHub is using edge Rails updated weekly.
On one hand, I'm impressed. And this is certainly helps the framework if bugs are caught in advance in such a complex product.
On the other hand, chances of reverting a bad decision merged into main were already pretty low in Rails. Now I guess they are zero, because "it could break GitHub".

@piotrsikora @sebastian @PawelK serwerom fedi przydałoby się coś w stylu integracji IPFS do automagicznej deduplikacji. (I przy okazji taki system p2p bardziej pasuje federacyjnemu modelowi niż HTTPS)
@coolboymew and unsurprisingly, that's how the comments on it look xD
