@icedquinn made by the Masovian Cultural Institute, Poland, for some reason. Even set in some of the commie block districts of Warsaw. Sadly doesn't seem to include the option to see how they actually look after a decade or two, dirty grey depression monoliths.

The name literally means "blocks" btw.

Measuring height is one of the ways Americans accidentally use metric, at least partially. Coverting between feet and miles is annoying so you use thousands of feet instead. Also known as kilofeet. 400k ft = 400 kft. Imagine if everything was so simple…

was reminded of this old banger of a tweet so i'm reposting it here on mastodon after *checks watch* 9 years

@katafrakt what does yours do, out of curiosity? 200 and an empty array, despite not returning an array on a single result?

@katafrakt I had something similar at an old job, truly a pleasure to deal with. Bonus points if it goes 404 when no results are found.

@mattswift @tomw I was about to comment the same thing, especially since it's typical for PHP devs to defend the most insane decisions it makes with all their might, but this time it's actually correct. These aren't decimal points, they're version part separators. 1.02.04 doesn't mean "version one and two-hundredths and four-idontevenknow", it means "version one, subversion two, subsubversion four", just stylised in a weird way, perhaps because the person making it wanted to reserve two spots per subversion to have the same width when going above 9.

It's like the day 04.02 just means "fourth day of the second month" (or the reverse if you're wrong) and not day four and two hundredths somehow.

Why would you log thread IDs when you can use emoji instead?

@tk at least if you believe people who have no idea how it works.

@trinsec @freemo I see the strikethrough on web. (Assuming you mean ~~singing~~)

@TechConnectify @DeShawnFranco we may not have xitter's filtering rules, but please don't let a vocal minority shape your opinion about the network.

I'm glad SSDs are a thing now, but the short period when downloading something from the Internet could be faster than reading it from your hard drive was pretty funny.

@icedquinn with a short attention span both reading and writing seem easier than recording and listening. For me for sure at least.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

The Financial Times have had Henry Kissinger's obituary prepared for so long that one of the people who wrote it died in 1999.

But to top that off, the man who wrote that author's obituary also passed before Kissinger, in March of 2022.

@freemo makes sense, but it's not even readable and breaks my web UI :D Also this was supposed to be a reply to mas.to/@pkalbers/1115022215914 but didn't work right for some reason. That might've been me clicking the wrong thing though, but check it out yourself.

QOTO's latex rendering seems to not work well for full document definitions lol
@freemo look

@stux thicker walls might add to the feeling of solid confined space alike the IRL spaces it was based on, the thin walls seem less oppressive and somewhat fake. Just my 2 cents, this is cool.
