@marcoarment The latest episode of the podcast 20,000 Hertz (20k.org) is specifically about the sounds of the Rivian. I think you will dig it.

@siracusa i am late to the party. After Listening to ATP about your window lag bug I am wondering did you try reducing transparency for the menu and dock in the settings and/or disabling window tinting in accessibility?

There may still be a window limit but maybe it’s higher than 25.

Also don’t let Marco and Casey give you crap about too many windows or tried and true hardware. You know what’s best. :-)

@deborahh @Eddietg42 give it a go. Some of the acting is terrible but the visuals are cool.

Sufficient resolution

Robert Johnson is known as the king of the Delta blues. One reason is that his small output was brilliant. The other, bigger reason is that the recordings that remain of his short life are among th…

@codinghorror I love Marylin Manson rendition of that song. Pretty much on spot.
@arstechnica I’m lurking here (and using Ivory) because Reddit killed Apollo and previously Twitter killed Tweetbot.

It's just at TXT record to map to the username -- maybe it's just my preference to see user@domain instead of user.domain.

Would definitely like to see some other Bluesky instances pop up so we know the username isn't really going to be like [email protected] though.

“Now imagine a number?”

“You want an imaginary number?”

“Yes, Imagine it.”

“Okay.”

“No, I’m going to read your mind… hmm… was the number 369.”

“No, the number you gave me is a real number.”

“Yes, but… anyhow. Let me try again… hmm… was it the number 185.”

“No, that one is real too.”

“What does real or imaginary have anything to do with anything? Of course the numbers I give you are real numbers. What number did you pick?”

“10i”

“What?”

“10i. That’s an imaginary number.”

“What’s this ‘i’ thing in it.”

“It’s the square root of -1. That’s what makes it imaginary.”

“That makes no sense. Now, I suppose that you can do 10i + 2, right?”

“Well, yes. That’s a complex number.”

@[email protected] Electronics can’t deal with arbitrary irrational numbers(
(sqrt(2)) A physical calculator using all the atoms in the universe it could not store an arbitrary irrational number. Any physical device cannot give a correct answer to math performed on arbitrary irrational numbers because calculators can’t represent arbitrary irrational numbers. sqrt(2) is a lie. It might be possible to build a device that handles symbols of common IRs displaying the sqrt(2)/2 as 0.5(sqrt(2)).
@aaronbuckner @daringfireball I might be wrong here but you can’t verify name at sever exists without interaction from an outside system. Usually with a human clicking a link in an email. You can however verify name.server exist with a simple ping.
