Me: I worked in a film photo lab in high school. It wasn't a golden age. It wasn't a great medium to use. It was expensive, bad for the environment and your health. The quality of the photos were limited by your budget. And no, film doesn't have "infinite resolution" because it's analog—the quality of the photo emulsion limits the clarity of the photo, so there's no reason to—
Phone makers: We put AI in your camera so it fills in the details with guesses!
Me: So to set up a dark room you need—

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”
This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

If you drag an emoji family with a string size of 11 into an input with maxlength=10, one of the children will disappear.
only reason I'm not hitting it faster is because that would need me to have multiple requests in flight at the same time, and that needs more code
the nice thing about writing something at work that's hitting an internal API on a service we own and host is that I don't have to be nice until someone asks me what I'm doing
I am currently hitting this API endpoint with over a hundred requests per second and the error handling is "retry after giving it a couple seconds break"
last time I did Minecraft mods was when single player essentially ran a server locally, so you could target CraftBukkit as a sort of universal target for simpler mods
The fact that a similar mod now would need to target Forge, Fabric, and Spigot, gives me a headache
as per usual I am pretty sure they are aware of this, but are also aware that:
1. cutting this off would decimate the subscriber count of deezer
2. most people downloading stuff off deezer with a paid account instead of just ripping from YouTube is doing so to get FLACs - which they don't have a competing marketplace for
3. point 2 is a great source for statistics on if it's viable to launch said marketplace or not
it's pretty hilarious that deezer, a music streaming service known for how easy it is to straight up download music from because of the laughable security, is owned by an investment firm which also owns 86% of Warner Music Group
basically, they are financing the piracy of the music owned by another company they are financing

apparently Zootoca vivipara can just freeze and then thaw out two months later if it's cold enough
This is a lot more rad than hibernation
