Flying Rhino Junior High is a 90s children’s cartoon that is a bit more niche than I remember. The only time I have ever heard the phrase “Flying Rhino”.

A flying rhino? Such a weird situation! We should name a junior high school after it.

Lunch? Even better!

Those shadows also suggest the sun is on the ship.

And the small text on the bottle is screwy.

And the ship’s title is way sharper than the blurry lower resolution deck below it.

Memes can be propaganda, yes, but they need to be something more, otherwise they won’t reach people.

You can make an image macro of a cat with the text “cucumber bad”, but it probably won’t be very popular. Even then, there’s a history of memes about cats reacting to cucumbers that gives that idea more traction than “Nazis did a nazi”.

Someone asked “why the downvotes”. I explained “bad meme”.

Didn’t know MSN was a meme site

Doesn’t matter. This isn’t a joke, it’s “group does a thing”. There’s no humor.

It’s getting downvotes because it’s not a meme. Even if it’s true, it’s just limp propaganda.

Hopefully they keep the repairability, unlike Apple.

I think more important would be non-chaotic answers. It doesn’t matter too much if their not identical if the content is roughly the same. But if you can get significantly different answers from trivial changes in prompt wording, that really does break things.

Still doesn’t mean it’s correct though.

Memory leaks are often difficult to deal with, and many contemporary languages basically encourage them. I know many applications that suffer significant performance issues due to memory leaks, and way too many that simply don’t care about memory footprint.

A language that treats memory management differently from the start makes all these problems much easier to deal with, if they appear at all. The real question is if the other costs of using the language are worth the somewhat niche performance gains.

1 in 7 means lots of friend groups just don’t have players. It’s very likely that many children will grow up without really knowing what roblox is.

There’s no way it has 100% market penetration.

If the language makes common but dofficult to deal with error impossible, that’s nice. Not critical, but nice.

If the language introduces easy to make and hard to deal with errors, that’s an issue. Not a deal breaker, but an issue.

The idea does exist, but it’s stated with way more confidence and finality than it deserves. That’s social media I guess.

The evolution strategy: if you don’t know what you’re doing, every function is a feature!

That’s a fast trip to feudalism.

Exactly. I’d be much more ok with a standardised block of text and maybe a picture. No music, no animation, basic machine voiceover if any audio.

My favourite advertisements (the ones I’m most ok with) are podcast ad reads, because they never gave music or sound effects or crass images, it’s just the voice making the podcast reading some text. And they’re personalised based on the context of the podcast, no personal information needed.

A very low current transformer, more of kess yeah.

Some lights will charge op and flicker, others have a constant glow. The speed/brightness depends on how long the wire is, so most residential lamps are unnoticeable even when it happens, but large rooms and weird wiring can make it more obvious.

LEDs are so efficient that even microamps can power them. If your LED driver is cheap, it’ll run on basically nothing, or charge up enough to start for a fraction of a second.

The microamps come from a hot wire running next to a switched wire behaving as a capacitor when carrying AC voltage, letting microamps leak through. (It’s not required that the light is on the hot side of the switch as I said previously, my bad).

This can happen if the switch box is a terminal box with hot and switched wires in the same cable, which is rather common. Probably some other configurations too.

Honestly, I “upgraded” my phone to the 8 year newer model, and besides the easy numbers like CPU speed, RAM, and storage, it’s a straight downgrade. No headphone jack, slower charging, 50% chance of worse battery life (something slurps like mad sometimes), a hole in the screen, fewer buttons, a bunch of my apps don’t work anymore, fewer sensors, worse case selection, fatter & heavier, and the big G won’t stop pestering me to install malware.

I still use my old mobile more. It really just needs a new battery and some extra RAM.
