This is a public service announcement: please stop barbecueing your jackfruits, this is a culinary crime beyond even boiled vegetables. Please, for the love of god, just eat something fresh for once in your life

wikipedia's explanation works for uniform bodies, yours doesn't. And since tidal bulges seem to be symmetric, there's no away to explain away the deformation as making one side heavier

I think the explanation is wrong: wikipedia offers a completely different explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking.

Planets can become tidally locked to the sun- mercury is. Probably the timescale required for the other planets is just much longer

EDIT: Apparently mercury isn't actually tidally locked to the sun, TIL

Oh neat, a post I actually know something about! I worked a lot on userfaultfd performance for GCE's live migration post-copy a couple years ago. Or more specifically, I worked on mechanisms to avoid it entirely- due to lock contention in the kennel, faults become veeeerry slow as the number of vcpus scales, and as it happens VMs these days can have a lot of vcpus

I've got [a bit of neovim config](https://github.com/anlsh/nvim/blob/8b61520a5ecd752427abffc45...) which sends you straight to `neogit` (which is basically equivalent as far as I use it) when a certain env var is set.

So in my .profile I've got

``` alias gg="NEOGIT_SLAVE=1 nvim" ```

It's definitely not perfect but it's good enough to work for basic committing/rebasing flows and it's faster than booting up emacs for the same purpose.

What an arrogant and slavish comment. Truth may be the first casualty of any war, yet here you are celebrating its demise so that war may be waged more thoroughly.

I wonder what it's like to be so convinced of your righteousness of your cause that reality itself is seondary. What a joke you are.

If anyone works at bitwarden can you get your UI people to stop retheming for the upteenth time and instead make the "detailed view" of any entry read-only by default? Every time I need to access my notes on an entry I'm scared that I'll accidentally typo a letter into my password or a 2fa code or something

A very plausible explanation is that the separation was biotic

Why does a password-protected zip file reveal a list of the files within lol?

If I'm understanding this right, we'd have been hosed if the files had been TARd first?

Ok now we're talking: important clarifications. Neat read on the type systems. But this part is extremely important:

> The idiomatic way to do it is to allow garbage inputs like negative numbers into your square root function, and return garbage outputs. It is in the theorems where one puts the non-negativity hypotheses.

The equivalent condition here would be for everyone to include "zero-ness" checks on their numeric inputs. But that's awful, because whereas everyone agrees that nullptr is a meaningless pointer, zero is in fact a perfectly good integer/float whatever. So now you have something worse than null pointers- which have course caused us a huge amount of pain ever since being inflicted on the world

So x / 0 = 0 is still a terrible, terrible, idea. But introduce something like the floating-point equivalent of NaN, and say x / 0 = NaN, and now your outputs will at least be obviously wrong, instead of just silently wrong

Your idea that your program should just spit out an incorrect answer when it runs into an unexpected condition? That's really stupid

A ridiculous fairy tale. Dictatorships need hardly interfere with the "stability" of a society which launches a bloody and monumentally expensive temper tantrum in response to 9/11 but allows thousands more to die each year for want of basic medicines

Who actually has issues with gc pauses? I've never noticed them on modern hardware. Are they an issue on embedded systems or something?

No. But we're talking about cars, not computers, and their novelty is just one among many strong pieces of evidence that a much less car-dependent society is possible, even desirable. Perhaps you can refute the existence billions of people on the planet who live without commuting via car, or the dense networks of public transit which they often rely on?

Hah! Cars have been around for just a hundred years or so, and yet serious efforts to reduce our dependency on them are "near impossible." Talk about recency bias.

Not much? Do you drive? Do you see the number of consumer vehicles on the road versus the number of trucks/delivery vehicles? If we could work towards a huge reduction in consumer vehicles on the road, even if we just replaced them all with busses, that'd be a huge improvement in gas consumption, traffic, (sub)urban sprawl, and more.

Weird to see huggingface in the news like this. I remember contributing some fix to it back in summer 2019 when it had 4k stars or something, and I thought it was a really popular project even then :)
