TFW you see a fourier transform output from audio and you can just tell they output the full 48khz transform output, not considering Nyquist.

TFW you open your DVD drive with the pokey hole, and the drive just keeps reading the disc while spinning in open air.

TFW your Factorio base goes super science

turns out I'm lab limited on throughput. Didn't expect that.

Hmm... obscure MTG commander combo: Hive Mind plus Pact of Negation. Plus some land destruction so your opponents do not have two blue.

wow. That's the second censored variant of Teenage Dirtbag I heard.

Original: Her boyfriend's a dick, he brings a gun to school

First censor I heard: Her boyfriend's a ****, he brings a gun to school

Newest: Her boyfriend's a dick, he brings a *** to school

It'd be great if we could just get the actual music on CDs.

We need a function like "git push --only-a-little-force", ie, I've just rebased and would like to push the new changes, but only if the remote is still in the state I think it is.

Or rather, we probably need me to learn what that command is called, because it probably exists already.

Somebody should make a clone of Papers Please but on the UK border with regards to imports, and be accurate to reality.

Is there some kind of list of AI channels on Youtube, so I can import it for a mass block?

Or an alternative Youtube frontend that filters out that garbage?

"Coverage must always go up"

Handled corner cases add code paths. To make coverage go up, you can remove corner case handling.

Or spend weeks figuring out how to trigger the corner cases.

Guess what many will do?

Somebody should do reviews of cars and other regular things like how some tech products are reviewed.

"Sure, the Tesla is fast, but it's not eligible for entry in the DTM class, can't be filled up with petrol, and can't even drive on bicycle paths. A very niche product".

Just read a review of a €2.5k gaming screen, whose downsides from the review were "not suitable to watching movies, or for consoles, and needs a powerful pc to use".

How does Rust prevent long-running "pointers" from becoming dangling? For example, passing in the instance of some service to something trying to communicate with it; how does it prevent that instance from being destructed & deallocated before that client stops using it?

I tried searching but find only 1200 tutorials on the borrow checker; which IMO cannot do this long-term lifetime check.

We should use auto more in programming C++. It makes for much clearer code:

auto s = f();

static_assert(std::is_same_v<std::string, std::decay_t<decltype(s)>>);

Instead of the very verbose

std::string s = f();

Good news!

Youtube is making their interface such a giant pile of trash that Nebula's interface is better now.

Nebula didn't change their interface.

Just ended a Balatro run by running out of cards in my deck to play. That's a first.

Maybe people that follow me have an ansewr to this question.

Thinking about AC and DC transmission losses; my mind says that because DC is at a specific constant current, the power lost due to wire resistance is lower than the same amount of power being transmitted in AC on the same power lines.

But all things that I've been indoctrinated say otherwise, and it wouldn't make sense to have as many AC circuits otherwise (like trains at 25kV and overhead wires at 380kV).

Which is true?

Awesome! Doing some fuzzing of code.

Except it segfaults. Not on my code, in libfuzzer itself. Only on exit though, so that's at least a positive...

dang, what's up with so many DVDs having corrupted audio and video tracks? It's like the people releasing movies don't want you to be able to watch them.

I wonder if there is someone who can distinguish NTSC and PAL TVs based on their coil whine pitch difference.
