Yet another code monkey. I program robots and yell at clouds. He/him.
@Elizafox i recently listened to a nice podcast about how unilever got staggeringly rich back in the 30s and drove the blue whale almost to extinction in order to get whale oil to make margarine for the nazis. Fascinating stuff.
@Elizafox i’d heard of nociceptor and nocebo, which have the same root, but never made the connection. TIL.
@sierrashark given that water is electrically conductive, has any excellent specific heat capacity and is transparent, you should be able to get optical ethernet, power and cooling via a single connection.
Then everything can be plumbing!
@cactus it depends a bit on what happens when the current massive IPOs reach the rug-pulling stage, but “write reliable firmware for cheap drones that only need to make a single flight” might become a useful skill.
@dee saw more union jacks than cornish flags when I was down there in easter, which is a bit of a depressing first.
@dvshkn monads and do-notation were clearly invented because functional programmers desperately wanted to write imperative programs with mutable state. It’s only natural 😇
@raulinbonn the heinz tins in the uk don’t stack, but almost every single other brand I’ve found has stackable cans (though I don’t shop at aldi). It seems annoying and pointless.
@Nixie I think it’s a delightful tradition to have stupid real-world objects being mysterious sci-fi widgets. I’d rather someone kitbash a physical set than green screen everything to death.
But also, I’m terrible at recognising these things until someone points them out, so maybe it’s just me.
