These days, you also likely get faster loading times when you self-host the font, because it can be sent through the same HTTPS connection and because caching doesn’t work anymore like it used to many years ago (cached files aren’t shared anymore between websites).

I mean, were there many times when it was legal to abolish a legislation? 😅

Ah, I meant that as in the individual hair have less circumference and therefore are easier to cut through.

I’m violently in favor of Big Light™. Really wakes you up, especially the flashbang when you turn it on. 🙃

Damn, makes it look like little gremlin hands…

Personally, I find it much easier down under, because the hair is a lot thinner…

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There’s for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won’t drink the still water in a bowl.

Can certainly also see why it got named that… 🙃

“As always.” is an old favorite of mine. They’ll assume things are neither particularly good nor bad, when what you mean is that you always feel bad.

A few years ago, there was someone from the customer side who was learning to code, and I was the most seasoned dev in that project, so it was kind of expected of me to give mild feedback when the guy presented what he had coded.

And yeah, at some point, the guy showed off around 2000 lines of Python code in a single function. He explained the whole lot and I just sat there like, what the fuck, I don’t understand a thing.
Thankfully, I wasn’t expected to give much feedback, so I just told the guy that modularization would be important. 🥴

I would’ve loved for this to not be a customer situation, so that I could bluntly tell the guy that this seasoned dev is completely flattened by the complexity he deals with, because becoming good is about managing complexity rather than expanding your brain to fit all of it in there.

Expected this to be a physics meme, because yeah, what the heck even is physical matter? It’s just a bunch of fields and waves, probably…

I’ve been wondering, if you could combine LLMs with a logic programming language like Prolog. The latter is actually able to reason through things, you “just” have to express them in Prolog facts and rules.

Well, from doing a quick online search, I’m most certainly not the first person to think of this, which does not surprise me at all…

Hmm, is the last staff thing just the death message from Sif Muna? I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴

I can imagine there being a correlation, because there’s no reason to be outspoken, if you’re not embedded in a context that would push religion onto you, which includes celebrating Christmas.

I had a friend in university, whose parents immigrated from a secular region of East Asia, who was equally as atheist as I was. But while I arrived at that position after years of learning about Christianity, as well as peer pressure and self-reflection, she didn’t go through any of that.
She couldn’t have an opinion about Christianity to be outspoken about, because Christianity is just a random fandom as far as she’s concerned. She’s not particularly interested in it, and that’s all there is to it for her.

And then, yeah, while I’m obviously much more outspoken than her, I’m not outspoken against doing a celebration in winter. Because I’m embedded in this Christian context, my parents want me to visit for Christmas, so I guess, I celebrate Christmas. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

Yeah, in particular, anything close to 100 million users presumes that non-gamedevs will use this. For anything beyond simple variations of existing games, like e.g. “Skyrim with spears”, you need to have an actual understanding of game design. It is not enough to have cool ideas.

So, I really don’t see many non-gamedevs using this. Especially when they can pay less to play a properly designed game.

Wikipedia has a decent summary in the History section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk#History

Key points, if I’m understanding things correctly: - Early domestication was for meat, leather and draft animals, not for milk. - Milk consumption started in South West Asia and later stuck around in Europe, because people there had already settled for agriculture. I think, Middle East was more nomadic? - The Middle East also had camels as an alternative milk source, and camel milk contains somewhat less lactose (4.6% vs. 3.5–4.5%), according to this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8117040/
So that might’ve also affected things somewhat? 🫠
