(What's up with youtube not auto embedding? Did they screw something up on their end again? I know it reset itself to dark mode and Czech language a day or two ago and refuses to let me switch back English.)

RE: 📖
@coldandtired Yeah, but that didn't help me. The buttons lead to searches for each word on some dictionary site, and with adduct it just rambled incoherently about "pulling towards the median axis of the body" or some shit, so I'm none the wiser because I'm too drunk to process that.

@ben_lubar Yeah, I was TR, I thought the commit was just gone immediately until @dkf pointed me towards git reflog. I still maintain that the output wasn't very helpful, though.

RE: True randomness, lottery and super Ai are all very connected. agreed?
Let's see.
omness is a pattern we can't understand, it only means it has intelligence. I said you need one way though. I don't unscramble.
and I didn't mean randomness is a pattern we can't understand, it only means it has information from the future wrongly linked. that's basically the future". if randomness is a pattern we can't understand, it has information of "capacity to figure out they're not practically the same thing you said on the third paragraph.

Wow. Apart from capitalization I honestly can't tell the difference.

RE: Recommend me a Tomato compatible router 🍅
@lorne-kates Zero technical problems, and I get 80% signal on the street outside my window. My flatmate is really happy with the much better signal he gets in the room next to me, too, it's a huge step up from the cheap TP-Link we used to have.
The only complaint I have is that the Edgerouter makes this weird faint scratching noise, kinda like an old hard drive head if you know what I mean. I have it under a night table right next to my bed and I hear it when I'm falling asleep. I don't hear it at all otherwise, even when the house is quiet - I'm sitting maybe 3m away right now and nothing, so just don't set it up right next to where you sleep and you'll be fine.

RE: :beer: The Beer Status Thread
I think drinking previously hipster beer that isn't in among hipsters is a very hipster thing to do, though.
Holy shit, I just blew my own mind. I always thought you needed to get some ribs surgically removed to do that.

RE: Soft Science Gives Under Pressure
@Yamikuronue Sure, but I don't see many people claiming that software development has anything to do with science. It happens occasionally but it seems to me that people who say that tend to be regarded as idiots by almost everyone else.

RE: 🔥 Forget about clocks, now it's (bad) cucumbers and knives
The media could "cheap[ly] drum up clicks" more effectively with someone who wasn't Muslim; for example, the little innocent white kid with the radical fundamentalist Christian parents.
I don't think that's true. In a case like that, everyone would be outraged for a while, but since everyone would be outraged, they'd all agree with each other, and the whole controversy would quickly be out of everyone's mind.
With a Muslim kid, people will argue about it on the internet for a good week, which means media will have longer to milk it for those sweet, sweet pageviews. Editorials, opinion pieces denouncing bigots, more opinion pieces denouncing the bigots who trolled the original piece's comments...
I mean, compare Ahmed the clock kid and the shitstorm that whipped up with any kind of similar case involving a little innocent white kid. Or, better yet, find me a thread about it here, on a forum largely about information technology and assorted geekery. That we're discussing Ahmed and Cucumber Kid here proves my point, I think.

RE: Product naming rant
@blakeyrat said in Product naming rant:
Look at the Ford Fusion
That's not all of it, either. There was also a Ford Fusion sold in Europe till 2012, and its production overlapped with the US Ford Fusion (which seems to be roughly equivalent to European Ford Mondeo - in class I mean, not necessarily in hardware).
The European Fusion looks like this:
I remember being very confused some time ago when you were talking about your in some thread and I kept picturing the above abomination and thinking it was some kind of joke because what you were saying was nowhere near of my experience.

RE: Idiot thinks you should use IRC instead of Slack
Maybe they can figure it out, they just don't want to?
Maybe I could use Slack or whatever other shitty app is en vogue this week among ADHD-ridden hipsters, but I just don't want to because I have a setup that already works, and so does literally everyone else at the company except for the occasional super special snowflake who can't take 60 seconds to master a simple chat interface?
I spend 50 times longer figuring out these shitty products
I have to spend less of my precious grey matter
What shitty products? Slack is a shitty product, IRC is simply a protocol supported by a large number of different clients. Those are the products you're complaining about, despite having seemingly never used any of them.
If you have, and you spent more than a minute or two "figuring out" how to chat on IRC, then a better word to describe your grey matter would be... scarce, maybe? The problem is you.
So your reason for hating Slack is you don't want to work from home? That makes so little sense, I think I actually got a little bit dumber reading it.
No, that must have happened before you read (well, tried to...) what I wrote, since that's not what that post says.
Because it's obviously impossible to log off of Slack. Once you install it it crawls into your brain like those little worms in Star Trek II and controls your every movement.
It also doesn't say any of that, what are you talking about?

@unperverted-vixen Was that your first mechanical keyboard? I don't have a CODE but generally I don't think it has anything to do with . Switch from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical one with good switches is really awesome, and it doesn't really matter whether it's the CODE, Das Keyboard or something else.
Someone even made a documentary about it:

RE: Dragon Dil- er, Helmet!
I kinda feel bad making fun of the guy because he doesn't seem like an asshole and he's not asking for loads of money (or any money) on Kickstarter or Gofundme, his Patreon has no patrons, and he's got 3 subscribers on Google+. It seems like an ill thought out passion project, not some kind of ridiculous scam. But good grief, this is the dumbest thing I've seen in at least the last 3 hours, and believe me, I've seen some seriously dumb shit today. Also we made fun of the TempleOS guy here too and that was just pure mental illness.

RE: YouTube's new logo
@lb_ I didn't do that, but the interface was in English even when my location was set to Bulgaria. Actually everything except the side menu was still in English when I took that screenshot - I probably should have pointed that out. Only the hamburger menu was in my language, controls on the rest of the page were in English.

RE: Internet of shit
@boomzilla I haven't given it much thought yet, but I'm hoping I'll end up with a setup where the TV itself is just an output device (I'll probably actually buy a 40 inch dumb display, those seem to be more readily available than dumb TVs at the moment) connected to a server running Kodi or something similar, and that I'll be able to control that with something like an air mouse - remote on one side, keyboard and touchpad (which I hope to use very rarely) on the other. It's probably going to be a bit of a pain to set up, but on the other hand it sounds fun.

RE: Meet ‘Genies,’ the lifelike personalized avatars that reenact news
I just realized the creepy animation reminds me of those "Elsagate" videos that are apparently being spammed on youtube to target little kids and make ad money off them. I've only ever seen a little bit of one of them because why the hell would I watch that shit, but it gave me a similar vibe. Some people seem to think those are also created out of tons of premade assets they just swap around in set scenarios with little changes... anyway it's unbelievably creepy.

RE: Documentation fail
Worse than no documentation is obsolete ones, sorry FreeBDSM hipster.
I've been trying to explain this extremely simple concept to higher-ups at my company for years now. They're convinced that it's better to publish something than nothing at all, likely because publishing that something covers their own asses in case their own higher-ups would and ask why a certain guide isn't published. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Boss Man, I thought the published thing was up to date. I'll go annoy the already overworked tech writer who told me a thousand times that the guide is not in a publishable state." Fuck.
And then they wonder why our customers, instead of opening our customer portal and looking through official documentation, just use google and find solutions to their problems in random forum threads and blogs and call our support when that fails. It blows my mind.

RE: Path of Exile
@Magus Honestly I think any sort of damage mitigation is for reducing damage from hordes of small enemies. When fighting bosses (at least in Merciless and maps) you really want to manually avoid things like Voll's slam or Vaal Oversoul's lightning beam, unless your gear is insane and/or your build is extremely tanky to the point of gimping your damage. Or so overpowered you just murder everything before it can hurt you.
These strong attacks are always telegraphed (slams) or delayed (Izaro's mortar attack, Atziri's flameblasts) so you have a chance to do that.
