It’s gotten to a point where I just go ahead append a warning that I have no source and am just making casual conversation.

Source: my previous comment on Lemmy.

Truly the person of all time

*A fourth dimension can be time.

Time is a very convenient choice for a fourth dimension, but “fourth” is purely namesake. There’s no reason we couldn’t describe our world in our three familiar spatial coordinates with an additional coordinate for temperature, for example. We just don’t easily conceptualize it that way because it feels less contiguous according to how we currently frame our model of reality.

Disclaimer: my sources include internet research and far too much time to think. I’m absolutely open to discussion and new ideas in whatever form.

Edit: Temperature is kind of a bad example at face value, but good conceptually. Hopefully I’m communicating my point at least we’ll enough to be comprehended.

I recently got on git add -p, which comes in clutch sometimes. But yeah, I’m definitely about to start doing the interactive add.

Also, squints at your username

I personally do YYYY.MM.DD for all of my personal filing. Sue me.

Edit: personally, of course.

People that say shit like this don’t listen to enough music to make such sweeping claims. Your parents may have had music tastes that you align with closer than that of your teenage years.

Not to mention that the “old music” is fairly selectively the ones that stood the test of time, while the younger generation is still experimenting and figuring things out. Expand your horizons; don’t fall victim to the bias.

Hot take: the web should not be more human.

And I’m pretty progressive on technological matters. There should still be a clear separation, though.

In my opinion that’s a pretty generous list of reasons to buy a game without much further questioning or research. I think the last game I almost immediately bought ~10 minutes after hearing about it was YOMI Hustle for $5 in May of last year.

That said, looking through my purchase history I can tell you that the amount I have spent on Warframe, a F2P game, is vile.

Certainly. I don’t think I ever watched or played it, but I remember young me pronouncing it “zack-see-oh zack-see-oh” every time it came up, which was a lot because I lived on Flash games.

Imagine going to take a shower to relax and instead seeing this.

Floating points included for thoroughness!

Pretty sure they’re referring to class names describing the visual style being applied, rather than what that class represents semantically.

E.g. .red-bold vs. .error-text

I’m in this no-experience-to-apprenticeship program and everyone in my class thinks type coercion is the greatest thing ever.

Marked as solution.

Const goo =

backspace backspace

const Foo

backspace

const foo = obj. Val;.

*deep breaths

Yeah, it’s definitely convenient in most cases, I would say. Though it can also be inconvenient when messaging, because sometimes said need to add context can read very unnaturally in an otherwise grammatically correct sentence.

Ironically, autotune is more akin to pixelating an image.

Verbose HTTP is looking great.

I just want to point out that English’s future tense does exist, but it’s just non-distinct in many cases because, well, as you’ve said, English is fucked.

“We’re eating steak.”

You need context to determine whether this statement is talking about the present or the future. So much of the language is implied contextually that you can just drop off words and assume the listener will understand.

“What are we eating?” vs. “What are we eating tonight?”

It’s so funny because whereas a lot of other languages have rules with defined exceptions here and there, speaking English is more of a theoretical approach.

It feels like English just happened one day and we’re all trying to figure out why.
