 @nikitonsky It feels weird seeing someone holding animal with mouth almost the size of human head. Threatening, unnatural “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” I just learned that modern people read it differently: sky was blue. While the correct meaning is, of course, that sky was grey Neil Gaiman even has a joke about it https://journal.neilgaiman.com/2004/12/some-days-bears-on-top.asp  Причём эти люди даже не копались в настройках телевизора из любопытства, потому что этот синий экран обычно можно отключить It took me a while to understand Cancel here is actually an action button that I need, not just “get out of here” button Dell 32" 6K monitor, what do you think? The price drop looks suspicious https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-6k-monitor-u3224kb/apd/210-bhbz/monitors-monitor-accessories @nikitonsky Seems like a great monitor, only caveat I've seen is people not liking the anti-reflective matte coating: I lost my faith in humanity after I saw someone applying user-select: none; to text on a web page for no apparent reason  @nikitonsky Browsers [extensions] should make a list of "user-hostile anti-features" and make it quick to disable on a per page/domain basis. Disable right click is also very evil.  How TF does one make 2.8 Mb of CSS??? It’s 3x more than all the preview images combined!

  Quickly analyzed it with https://www.projectwallace.com/analyze-css — it seems they're merging all the CSS of their web components, and then putting it in every component's shadow DOM, as well as the page itself. Furthermore, they do not reuse almost anything across all the components, and it appears that they just include _everything_ regardless of actual usage in this file. So, yeah.  Current status: managed to make 1 println working in Roc, but struggling to make 2 in a row work This is exactly how I imagined sed and awk would look like. Not photoshop, the book is real   @nikitonsky that was the original intention of the illustrator - strange looking animals for cryptic commands https://www.oreilly.com/content/a-short-history-of-the-oreilly-animals/ Excited to learn why htop on remote machine stopped working when I switched to different terminal app. Not. @nikitonsky Blech. Curses (or whatever is responsible) should automatically trim `-*` to find a compatible terminal definition, in this case `xterm`. Obviously ad hoc convention but better than failing like this. Once upon a time, all software developers cared about performance and understood the cost of their abstractions before they committed to using them in their projects.  @nikitonsky In a company far, far away, there once was a project, and it was delivered on budget and on time, and all was well.  @nikitonsky …there will come a time when one humble programmer of unknown origin will break the chains that greedy corporations and their army of complicit engineers have put on our overworked CPU. And once they’re free, the world will never be the same.

@nikitonsky the fourth is the conventional representation I’m most familiar with. I’m not sure that makes it correct. Is there a standard that defines what’s wrong here?

@nikitonsky It went away when people stopped using Super Panavision 70 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Panavision_70 A lot of care was taken to get it right when filming Lawrence of Arabia e.g. from IMDB  @nikitonsky@mastodon I disagree. I actually was blown away by the immense size of stuff when I first saw it at the theather. Actually, part of the problem might be vignette. If you remove it, shot starts to breathe a little more November open-source and lifestyle update is up.
