Want a piece of armor that looks even remotely recognizable? That would be 36 objects please. It just doesn’t scale 
I have a majestic SVG pic with every single commune of France displayed with its borders. When I open it, my M1 Mac shits itself. 
There are just ~35,000 communes in France. 35k polygons is a laughable number, yet it’s enough to push a modern computer to its limits.

aren't lefties about more government control?,@ars1 ah, the studying for 160 hours/week,do you know about The Elephant Foot, that nasty nasty radioactive thing from Chernobyl? Some fungus grew on it!,@12bitfloat I'm a leftie. I want more government control over corporations. Although sometimes systemically racist and corrupt, governments are democracies, and thus can be changed to better serve the masses.

Wherever you live, someone's gonna have power. It's either mafia, corpos (the bigger mafia) or govt (the biggest mafia). Govt is better because after 5000 years we kinda-sorta know how to make it better than every alternative.

I don't hate cops. People can be thrown in jail over tweets. If they tweet CP or coordinate terrorist attacks via twitter, they belong in jail anyway.

AMA!,Any product demo showing SAP working in a satisfactory manner is clearly fraud.

— http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/...,@12bitfloat I think I'm a bottom-ish left-ish person. Ideally, I want as much good as possible to as many people as possible, and I'm okay with eliminating/disempowering few bad actors who want to prevent that. Think cult leaders, market manipulators, corporate lobbyists.

Also, I'm okay with government intervention, like when you need to vaccinate the whole country to prevent a smallpox outbreak. I'm okay with deploying the army to ensure that. There are VERY VERY VERY FEW cases that warrant this kind of intervention, but they exist.

People are not equal because they have different privileges when they spawn, but we must strive to give the unlucky ones equal chances to the best of our ability.,@Lensflare you're for sure edible to it.,@Lensflare you eat fungus, you die. fungus eat you, it no die.,@12bitfloat about wokeness… let's examine the hot topic: trans people.

They exist. Despite decades of oppression from both the government and the people, they didn't stop being trans. They aren't going anywhere. That means if we as a state don't include them, someone else will. This is true for any marginalized group.

1.6M adults identify as transgender in the US. Imagine a religious cult including, then arming and weaponizing 1.6 million people? 

Even if we set aside all transphobic and woke rhetoric, this still holds true.,@12bitfloat I think that puberty blockers for kids and sex reassignment surgery for kids should be banned.

Hate speech though… everything has to be considered within its original context. Things that are “technically true” may still be used as hate speech. If I take a pic of a white guy, then a black guy, and then a gorilla, and measure their facial colors in RGB, a black guy's skin is closer to a gorilla's skin than a white guy's skin, because a gorilla's skin is black. Is it technically true? Yes. Does it mean that “black guys look like monkeys” is suddenly not hate speech? Not one bit.

I won't talk about notable trans cases because I don't know an awful lot about them. All I want to say is, please, have some patience. Trans rights issue is still volatile, so a lot of injustice can happen to a lot of people. It will all settle down eventually.

It's not about what we think is right, it's about how to meaningfully coexist the longest.,@12bitfloat oh, so you're against hate speech as a concept. What you say is valid because natural languages are vague, inexact and malleable. My wife is a linguist, and she used to talk about it all the time. The overarching problem is that we're trying to study language using language. So far, we don't know the solution.

I think that the only way around it is to move the speech itself out of the question. The context and circumstances around what was said are often enough. Again, it's not about what was/wasn't said and done, it's about how to ensure that we all peacefully coexist for as long as we meaningfully can.

Do I believe in trans rights? Yes, I am trans after all. Will I go to my local mosque wearing trans flag as a cape for no reason whatsoever? Absolutely not: it won't help us coexist.

To be honest, I've given up on trying to rationalize the world around me. I just follow my gut feeling. It had thousands of years to train the coexistence skill.,@12bitfloat though I heard the phrase “LGBT rights weren't given to you by the government, they were given to you by girls who threw bricks at cops”, and I like how it sounds. Maybe we should be loud to even be noticed. Yes, it contradicts everything I said before. I don't know how to reconcile the two. I honestly sincerely identify with both positions, but the contradiction is laughably obvious.

This is why I'm glad it's not up to me to make policies that affect millions.,@12bitfloat exactly! tbh the idea that I just can refuse to have an opinion saved me so many brain cells… and they have to be preserved if you're bipolar! :D,@Ranchonyx stupidly simple solutions to complex problems are for sure humbling, and humble people are beautiful,@spongessuck I can be wrong about a lot of things, but I’m never wrong about people.,BRING IT ON BiTCH!,BITCH!,@atheist @Lensflare I wasn’t manic!

But “If it looks like sugar, if it tastes like sugar, and if it doesn’t poison me as quickly as sugar does, then it’s sugar” works in my case. Don’t blame the concept of duck typing for downsides of bad implementations,@Lensflare in the end, you only really care about properties, not entity names. The difference between that is a game of resolution.,@Lensflare properties make a type, as accessing properties is the only way you can interact with a type. A type with no properties might as well not exist at all. And yes, type’s name is a property too.,@Lensflare person and planet have a lot in common.

I suppose that's the point. I doubt it can work at all. So yeah, no communist utopia for u,@12bitfloat is that Khmer Rouge? It didn't work because the power was taken by a dictator that enforced the cult of personality. In communism, the government (e.g. the thing that decides who gets what) is collectively owned by a huge crowd of people with guns that will defend its distributed nature and prevent coercion and centralization under one leader. At least in theory. In reality, it didn't work once. I don't know why.,@retoor @jestdotty also, they have big enough pockets to sell at loss for long enough for you to go bankrupt,@galena I'm talking sealed devices.

All original, hand drawn in vector, nothing stolen,@jestdotty where do I sign to help you become the spokesperson for all things ancap?,*insulators, dang it,@retoor approaching 10 years in frontend development experience, I never make mistakes in HTML and CSS. Literally never happens. Plus, the kind of code I write for my personal projects is too unconventional for the AI to figure out. 
I spent days building just the grid for this project, and let me tell you that now I know every single wrong way to build an exotic grid, and one right one,@retoor typically, a scanning electron microscope projects in grayscale. It uses electrons instead of visible light photons, so when the ray bounces off of the surface, you only get the resulting brightness. That’s essentially grayscale,@retoor AI is very good at producing huge quantities of garbage code. It’s especially good at boilerplates. If you remove the AI buzzword, what you’re doing is automatically expanding your real intent (e.g. the prompt) into the code that can be executed. If said code needs to be orders of magnitude longer, AI is the worst solution possible. It’s like adding one more lane to a 26-lane highway and expecting it to fix traffic. 
Because I have the exact control over my code, I achieved almost zero boilerplate. My code is only marginally longer than my prompts would’ve been if the AI was given my entire codebase as context.
The downside is that I this is too thin of a brush so to speak, the room for error is really slim. So, there is no magic in what I do: I just spend 3 hrs on 40 lines of code while Go/Python guys spend the same time on 400, and C#/Java guys — on 4000.,Linux users vehemently reject everything that brings even the slightest bit of comfort, convenience and aesthetics.
