I feel like bananas would be cold as hell if they were growing that fast.

Maybe i should start saying I make $90 billion a year as a tax optimization

Lol lots of assumptions being made here.

That’s not nit picky.

That’s been debunked - we get so few minerals from water for our diet that it’s almost nothing anyway. Almost everything is from solid foods or non-water liquids.

Curious if anyone can weigh in on this - is there much benefit to having fluorinated drinking water if you brush twice a day eith fluorinated toothpaste and rinse with flourinated mouthwash?

I distill all my drinking water, but it’s to remove PFAS and all the other garbage we’ve polluted the earth with. Not because of flouride.

Early 1900s doesn’t mean 1900-1909. It usually means the early century (1900-1950). If they were born in 1945 then had a child when they were 30, that child would be 50.

Also, they might just mean that their mentality is like that of the early 1900s, not that their parents are necessarily that old.

If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.

Both of those work on induction perfectly well.

I hate this mentality. There are things that are legit concerns and then there are things which aren’t. Please don’t use the same logic for taking up smoking.

Yeah, I noticed that too! It would be cool to make a more easily accessible collection of these kinds of things.

I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

I found it!

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

I had a Popular Science magazine that included the 50 coolest websites you should visit. That was mine. I still get hit with so much nostalgia about it. They were legit so cool that they still put most websites I see nowadays to shame.

Scientists should consult tech people about stuff like this just like we should consult scientists for science stuff. Unfortunately a lot of tech people also aren’t conscious of this stuff either.

Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.

I think it makes sense. It would allow a decentralized unified search across all stores. With Lemmy I can search posts as long as the instance is federated. With this I could find products.

I’d say Rust is definitely mainstream. Obviously not the level of JS or Python, but it’s being used all over the place. All FAANG companies, the Linux kernel, JS runtimes, web browsers, Android, Signal, Mullvad…

IMO GC has nothing to do with high or low level. It’s just incidental that there’s a correlation. In GC you usually don’t need to think about manually allocating or deallocating memory or truly understand what pointers are (in some ways anyway). In C / C++ you do.

In Rust you almost never manually allocate or deallocate, and you have both very high and low level APIs.

I’d say Rust is both high and low level. It just depends what you use it for. If you want to build a CLI or a web server, it’s great for that. If you want to do kernel stuff and choose to flip bits around you can do that too.

As for books, maybe you’d like trying Rustlings instead.
