  • Yeah, that is precisely why I assume they don't feel secure in their own standing, because it would be trivial to say "you do you" and continue doing what they feel is right. It's not like I'm attacking them, just stating what my choice is.

  • Huh, it really is like spoken English after all.

  • What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?

  • I've also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

    Unfortunately, it's quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.

  • Ah, I'm not saying there's a different force being applied to feather vs. hammer. The meme above doesn't mean that they "fall faster" in the sense that the hammer falls at a higher velocity. It's rather colloquial usage of "faster" to mean "finishes sooner". Because what does happen, is that the hammer collides sooner with Earth, since the hammer pulls the Earth towards itself ever-so-slightly stronger than the feather does.

    I guess, for this to work, you cannot drop hammer and feather at the same time in the same place, since they would both pull Earth towards themselves with a combined force. You need to drop them one after another for the stronger pull of the hammer to have an effect.

    So, this is also going off of this formula:

     
        
F = G * mass_1 * mass_2 / distance²

    But setting mass_1 as Earth's mass and mass_2 as either the feather's or hammer's mass. A higher mass_2 ultimately leads to a higher force of attraction F.

  • Wut? This does not turn off gravitational pull for objects other than Earth.

    Or I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say, but yeah, no clue.

  • I guess, you didn't necessarily say otherwise, but there's still a high chance that the app offers worse accessibility, even if you've configured everything correctly. Being able to freely manipulate the rendering in your browser, rather than having to live with what the app/OS devs allow you to configure, is crucially important for many accessibility needs.

  • You can find exceptions, but on average, heavier objects will fall very slightly faster than light ones, because they excert their own gravity field onto Earth and therefore pull it towards themselves.

    This requires a somewhat unintuitive definition of "falling", in that both the object and Earth itself moves, but given that any object with mass excerts a gravitational field, there is not actually any other definition.

    Why does philosophy education make people uncomfortable?

  • My guess is that due to the economic situation and also climate crisis situation, people do more things they don't feel comfortable with morally, and so when you're the guy who thinks about what's morally right or wrong, your existence confronts them with their wrongdoing.

    So, it's their own actions they don't like, but they can just not think about it until you show up.

    That's my pet theory anyways. Being clean-edge and vegan, I've had that experience a lot...

  • I actually doubt that somewhat. The language models do still go off of words to a large degree.

  • Announcing Rust 1.90.0

    Jump

  • Well, I was talking about the linking performance improvements and the workspace publishing.

    I've been meaning to write a script for publishing my crates in the right order, but hadn't done it yet, because just running the publish command for each crate didn't feel robust enough. Now that's a solved problem.

  • Two larger changes that I'm pretty excited for. Nice! 🙂

  • Wasm 3.0 Completed - WebAssembly

    Jump

  • As the other comment said, outside the browser WASI is what does IO. As for DOM access in the browser, I doubt they want to reimplement the DOM API, because:

    • It's insanely complex. This wouldn't be done within one release, but rather take years to add a substantial amount of APIs.
    • No one wants to have to maintain two versions of the DOM API documentation. You'd need to basically translate the entirety of MDN to some WASM API description. And in the end, hardly anyone would read it either way, because they're likely using some wrapper library to interact with the API.
    • If you're using such a wrapper library anyways, it hardly matters to most people, whether this library generates JS API calls or some WASM API calls.

    I try to stay as far away from JS as possible, and I do not think it's worth developing a WASM DOM API. With a competent framework, you can develop complex web-UIs without ever touching JavaScript, which is good enough for me.

  • Jujutsu is a Git frontend, from what I understand, much like there's tons of Git GUIs. So, you interact with it in a different way, but you still push to a Git repository and others can interact with your code by using Git.

    I guess, it somewhat lessens the grip of Git, because they can hook different backend services (e.g. Subversion, Mercurial, Fossil) into this frontend, and from what I understand, they plan to develop an own backend eventually. But yeah, for now, the communication standard is still Git.

  • Kind of felt like that last week. Our web-UI would automatically reload when you switched tabs, clearing out what the user had entered into a form. I started debugging, but the build times of our web-UI have been abysmal, making it extremely tedious to sprinkle log statements over the code for narrowing down what triggers the reload.

    So, I decided to fix the build times first. The solution wasn't complex, basically just pull out a module into a separate library to benefit from incremental compilation, but with all the import changes and some additional restructuring, it still ended up being around 2000 lines of code changed.

    Then I went back to debugging the reload problem, looked at it for 10 minutes, maybe rebuilt 3 times or so, and then made a lucky guess where I just changed one word for another and that fixed it. 🫠

  • TIL Microsoft had to patch the Bluetooth stack on Windows because they didn't test their own Bluetooth mouse on it

    Jump

  • Yeah, this seems to be a display name, not some technical identifier. Microsoft cares about displaying it correctly, because it's their product, but I doubt anyone else does...

  • TIL Microsoft had to patch the Bluetooth stack on Windows because they didn't test their own Bluetooth mouse on it

    Jump

  • Unlikely to be the case for mice, though, since lots of mice use the same drivers. As far as I'm aware, there's just a handful of popular chipsets, which implement the logic, so you just need a handful of drivers.

    This is particularly apparent on Linux, where most drivers are built into the kernel. You can take virtually any mouse and use it on Linux without installing drivers (although you might still want a separate program to setup LEDs or DPI profiles or whatever).And yeah, you don't want to have to get a patch into the Linux kernel to fix random spelling mistakes or similar...
