@Rhywden I wonder if the complainer regretted complaining.
That fits into the Backfires Thread .

Over here a bike priority street doesn't have bike lanes and cars are prohibited from overtaking bikes. It's generally and extension of a 30km/h zone and generally only used in residential one-way streets.

@boomzilla But what about non-verbal statements?
E.g. ?
-
@boomzilla "I agree with most of the people present at this meeting that the idea is dumb, the meeting unnecessary and the presenter an idiot."
Wouldn't that technically be something like an "agreement statement"? After all, it's agreeing with something, even if unsaid. (And it's not like anybody at the meeting is allowed to disagree with the statement.)
-
@cvi Let us know how that goes for you.
-
@BernieTheBernie I guess the question for me regarding "good idea" is that statements of any kind are likely to prolong the meeting.
-
@boomzilla ... and the outcome of the meeting is anyways...

@boomzilla wishful thinking at best. I get the sentiment - anyone who remembers the web before it became enshittified to be apps will - but at the same time, we're fucking stuck with it now.

@boomzilla if I had content desirable enough that people would install plugins to view, I wouldn't throw money on trash doing activism that loses most of the userbase
there were some activism for sites going ipv6 only some time ago, it didn't work

@boomzilla Do you really want markdown to sprout features allowing the inclusion of javascript? Because we all know very well that's the only place this could lead to.

@Zecc they are quite late to the party. It - and lots of other languages - have been available in PostgreSql for quite a while: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PL_Matrix

@Zecc Also I say they are late to the party. But differently: if you want to write something like stored procedure for Microsoft Cosmos DB, you have to use JavaScript.

It seems like the sort of party where not turning up at all is best.

BUILDING A MARBLE CLOCK Pt.4 - NOW FASTER!! – 12:42
— Ivan MirandaWhat a strange and inefficient algorithm. By avoiding a sort and instead waiting for random selection for pixel insertion the process to gather the couple-dozen pixel marbles is increased tenfold at least.
Someone want to guess what o(n) level this thing is?

Stochastic algorithms (of this type) don't technically have that sort of limit; a critical channel could just choose to never have white ball. But you can calculate the probability of it being a problem; I'd expect it to be fairly low (with the increased ball count).
He has more of a problem with things sticking, perhaps due to the channels flexing slightly...

@topspin Yeah, it doesn't really do anything revolutionary, but for like a year it was everywhere.
Before that, it was "cloud".
I'm just waiting for distributed computing to make a comeback. Actually potentially useful work as proof of work.
Come to think of it, I wonder if it would be possible to embed identity information in submitted work, such that if it ends up being useful the Executor could gain some amount of credit for the resources used.
-
@Tsaukpaetra That sort of thing was discussed a lot about 15 years ago, but it turned out at the time that it was just easier to make cloud work in most scenarios. Pay up and get more resources with less BS. (There's more cloud BS now, but you can still get relatively simple VM running without crazy effort.)
No idea if the mess that was distributed computing could be fixed by adding more VMs... but it probably will remain only useful for large parameter space exploration where the individual tasks are fairly small, as data movement is P.A.I.N. Most tasks would need a lot of data movement to distribute, so they're not going to like it at all...

The gaming industry has been doing a good job pacifying folks with 60Gb monthly updates, so this might no longer be so big a deal...

The gaming industry pays for CDNs to deliver that (e.g., that's part of what Valve does with Steam) and mostly doesn't require the download of a new, different 60GB of data every time the program is started.
