~~Did they come back at some point since your last post?~~

Oh, I guess I can see they did.

Until other large manufacturers follow suite, like what happened with TVs.

There is a little bit of fine print about that if you look closely.

While it's burning, it emits a bit more, since the combustion of whatever's in there is less complete. Then it stops.

How seriously are you taking the whole Greenland thing? The attempted annexation of Canada has completely turned the political discourse and national mood on it's head here, but he doesn't see us as a legitimate military target, while Greenland apparently is.

Like others, I'll skip over social media, because it's a bit ill defined in English. Maybe it's different when you restrict it to a national language.

The news and social media here show the US imploding under Trump regime.

Kind of the same, although in Canada we're so close to them a lot of the nuance comes through in the news, as well.

So, the local media tend to portray the US as a pristine and perfect society.

That part couldn't be more different. We legitimately have been doing better on a lot of social measures for decades, but don't really have a distinct culture, other major trading partners, and are just a lot smaller. All that adds up to a weird, resentful inferiority complex that colours everything, even when we've been close and interdependent.

As far as I can tell, even Western Europe falls into the trap of romanticising America pretty often. Hollywood has been no joke.

I've never actually written anything in Rust, FYI - previous projects have been in C/C++ and Haskell. If you're looking for someone deeply invested in Rust to argue with it's not me.

If you actually are trying to explain desirable features of a new language, and not just tear down an old-ish one, I feel like you've gone about it the wrong way.

Why is reference counting in Roc better than in, for example, Python?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 hour ago

It's better than absolute size, at least, and you can see they often do just follow each other.

You know they looked through graphs until they found some obscure weird one with a negative-seeming feature at 2015, though. Trudeau may or may not have been related. And the most recent dip is definitely going to end up with a recession bar in the future.

FOSTA-SESTA

Not American, no worries. We ultimately went with the Scandinavian model here so it's not even illegal to sell.

you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is

That could be tough. I'd probably try some of the dudes that have already hit on me first.

$40 isn't too much and maybe I could play up the inexperienced actually straight fetish thing.

If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.

Not a deal breaker, TBH. Worst case I get AIDS and have to take pills for it for the rest of my life. My next best option in such a short period is an armed robbery I'll definitely get caught for. Maybe burglary if I can find someone who keeps cash.

Gay dudes are really into me, even. I'm like a classic bear.

If you look in the top corner, it is percentage of 1980 levels. I'm not sure what "volumes" refers to here, though.

Time to get into sex work.

I don't have anything I could sell that quickly, even.

 

Modern formulations are proprietary and almost certainly require a cleanroom, but the basic concept has existed for a century. I'd assume there's a history out there beyond what little Wikipedia offers.

Would I be able to DIY a tape that could store tens of megabytes of data, at least?

Edit: This adjacent wiki might have more to say on it, based on the reply I got. I assume digital data amounts to a much higher frequency of recording, though.

I do know audio cassette tapes were used repurposed for digital storage in the early PC era. Was there a noticeable difference based on quality and type of tape?

If an LLM can't be trusted with a fast food order, I can't imagine what it is reliable enough for. I really was expecting this was the easy use case for the things.

It sounds like most orders still worked, so I guess we'll see if other chains come to the same conclusion.

Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

 

It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

I just found out DivestOS is dead and could use it.

 

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."
