I learned this one about a year ago and every time I try and do the push stroke I pretty successfully slip and cut myself. So I get you can do both but I'll be damned if the pull stroke isn't the only one I'm still doing.


Mozilla to explore healthy cigarette smoking..


I was in the same boat - I can't remember the exact issue now - but I had to both compile locally and revert back to an older version for it to work. There were issues on Github relating to my exact problem but I can't find them now. Currently running 0.3.3 as my daily driver, no issues.


The best thing to come out of all of this is people questioning their continued use of social media. Switching to Mastodon, it being different, not liking it and just dropping it all entirely. It's the BEST outcome. Social media is a fucking cancer on society and it's fantastic to see it being questioned. It's like soda and candy - empty calories that does absolutely nothing for you.


Twitter makes a great news reader. Never read replies. Facebook is cancer.

I agree it does seem folks are reevaluating their social life, lucky that was happening before Elon.


"Payment detail and account passwords have not been compromised."

No, just your identity is. If you're Australian, you or someone you know will be in this. What a total fuck up.


And why, oh why, are past customers in there. I'm a current one, but even 'not being with them' doesn't necessarily exclude you from this.


This is still lapping up the bullshit of what it actually is. It's a redundancy plain and simple, your job is being terminated, it should be reported as such.


You literally still have a job. Being reported as a layoff would be lying. If you don’t have a job and have to find work elsewhere then that would be the layoff. As long as the company is still paying you the at worst you’re on the bench.


Rest and vest.


This, unfortunately, is right on the money.


Exactly what I was thinking. If the optical illusion looks the same from multiple different viewing angles, is it not then exactly what you see and not an illusion? Versus other illusions, once the perspective changes, the illusion is revealed. This shit is getting way meta.


This is sort of the argument in Science. In the public discourse you have these conversations about Science being Right or Wrong. Within Science, you have more of this notion of All Models Are Wrong, But Some Are Useful.

We don't know if half of the things we know about physics are right or illusions. What we do know is that the models we have are consistent with the observations, and more importantly that they survive interaction. If I poke it, does the 'illusion' continue, or does it pop like a bubble?

Maybe magnetism doesn't work the way we think it does, but the way we think it works lets me cram millions of dancing lights onto a flat surface and organize them into pictures. And we got to millions of dancing lights from tens of thousands because we kept refining that model down and down into scenarios too small to see with the naked eye.


I've heard physicists talk about what's real as the set of concepts/objects that are required to describe and predict the world. So imaginary numbers are real (if you believe the qm wave function is real), infinities aren't (but are still very useful).


There are always alternative ways to describe the same phenomena. For example QM could be done with only real numbers (you can emulate imaginary numbers with matrix operations). There is no clear cut notion of what is "required".


Literally all of the above.
