  • At first I read SIMD bucks and I thought they must take optimizing code seriously.

  • Someone commented on my post about Devil World that what I experienced was Tetris effect. When I was scrolling vertically on my phone I would occasionally experience sideways scrolling similar to the game mechanic even though there certainly wasn't any sideways scrolling happening.

    Another one was when I was playing Portal. Traveling via portals became my usual method to move around in every dream I had those days.

  • Absolute legend

  • Can you give an example how that would happen?

  • It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office.

  • It's the same way in Finnish.

  • Yes it does. I think it's that way because it's in locative case even though it doesn't make the word itself look any different. English sort of has cases and doesn't.

    It works similarly in Latin. You don't say ad domum. You only say domum.

  • Why do Americans measure everything in cups?

    Jump

  • If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn't reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn't benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don't really do much baking so I don't know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

  • Fuck ads at the gas pump

    Jump

  • The idea I had was just so ridiculously evil I just had to teil about it 😄

    If you think about it the rock and tape hack can be easily prevented, but I'm not going to elaborate any further as to not give them more ideas.

  • Fuck ads at the gas pump

    Jump

  • So even if someone came up with a system whereby they expected you to watch an ad before the power would flow, you could always just plug in and walk away. How are they going to know you’re physically there?

    How about a button located near the ad screen and speaker that you have to hold like at least 80% of ad duration. If you failed to reach 80% it would reset to 0 and show you another ad so you can try again.

  • Let's discuss: Polybius

    Jump

  • I played it occasionally but, as you said, it wasn't very interesting game for young children. I guess it was interesting only subconsciously (the vivid dreams I mentioned in the other comment). Maybe it would have been fun game if I were an adult at the time.

  • Let's discuss: Polybius

    Jump

  • We didn't really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn't very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn't fully understand the gameplay and can't really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn't played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don't know why I even tried it that many times.

    I didn't really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I've had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don't really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don't know if they have the game anywhere or if it's possible to emulate via MAME.

  • Thanks to the tldr devs

    Jump

  • Would you agree that man page with good example section of common use cases would better serve the purpose or do you think there has to be separate tool to show only a short summary of the manual?

  • Thanks to the tldr devs

    Jump

  • I don't understand why people think this is such a useful thing. Sure it has some good summaries but you can't find all info there whereas man pages should have everything. It's also good that tldr has examples but I think it's something man should more often have too. So why would people rather use this than man?

    For example I often forget the order of pattern and file in grep. I can look it up easily in both man and tldr. I also forget what was the short option for recursion. Was it -r, -R or either or something else entirely? I can easily do a search on my pager to find the option in man but there's only long option available in tldr. That's Too Long Don't Want to Type.

  • What difference does the federation make in this case? Either way the personal data is in someone else's computer.

    What gets you downvoted?

    Jump

  • Apparently posting a very old meme that is funny because it's not funny. Also making a reference to something not many people know about, moaning about learning to use new software being waste of time (I don't understand what was the issue. Maybe I was off-topic), and having an opinion that removed is any good.

  • Breathtaking colorized video from 1896 of around the world

    Jump

  • It's not very well colorized. I assume it's not made by hand. Maybe some AI tool. It looks mostly good enough so only the errors should be fixed by hand.

    I'm not sure how accurate the colors themselves are. Looks good to me but I would imagine selecting historically accurate colors for different objects, clothes et cetera would require quite a bit of research.

  • You don't really see people chewing gum anymore.

    Jump

  • I see people in this thread complaining about fake sugar and someone mentioned chewing gum with real sugar. I'm just wondering do they sell xylitol gum in America? I see no point in chewing gum if it's not even healthy for teeth.

  • Lemmy has so few comments that I am now reading many more articles

    Jump

  • Moving to Lemmy made me realize how much time I wasted lurking on Reddit. I didn't bother to participate because someone would have already said what I thought. Sometimes I could even read one thread for days because there was just so much to read.

    But I don't know if it's good or bad if there are so many comments. Maybe it's good if you learn something useful but I don't think it's that useful to read for days about random subject you don't need. At least it's a some form of entertainment. I think I just read less now that I'm on Lemmy.

  • But does it mean the 15% is non-standard or just not implemented at all? If it's not implemented then all of the implementation is 100% standard compliant and if everyone stopped relying on the 15% part then developing for Firefox should make it compatible for rest of the browsers.
