wait, hr giger drew fanart for the windowlicker music video????

thinking about the time i saw someone say that effective treatments for covid included estradiol, spironolactone, and "traditional chinese medicine"

To create 1 x Solar system, you need: 100 x Planet, 1 x Earthlike planet, 10 x Sun

what kind of fucked up solar system is this

my girlfriend suggested we label the "ex-wife" water filter more appropriately and now I have to listen to a monologue every time I open the fridge door

the fridge we have uses water filters labeled XWFE so we've taken to calling them "ex-wife filters"

@natalie @lynne can't speak for anyone else obviously but what convinced me is that if you're declaring multiple variables then it looks weird to do int* i, *j rather than int *i, *j

is this that game everyone keeps talking about

The result was unknown. No consensus was reached. No log entry exists for any article with this name. This page was not linked to from any other page on the entirety of Wikipedia. It seems to have simply been forgotten. I am closing it now, in July 2022, some eighteen years after its creation.

the latest ffxiv 24-man raid has a boss with a hidden mechanic where if you do the /blowkiss emote at the boss she hits you for 99% of your current HP and stuns you. there is no reason to do this other than the fact that it's funny

@Polychrome I remember I saw a scene from Symphogear S3 and it had fancy animations, colors to indicate who was singing a line (and gradients for multi-singer parts!), and then the official sub is just... normal text.

happy 10 year anniversary to this absolutely incredible tweet

"how do i learn given that basically nobody publishes their DAW files, only the final results or at most stems"

"you may have to sacrifice some of your open source purity"

"why is it hard to time-stretch things from a technical perspective"

i think if this becomes a serious enough of a thing then i might write a "electronic music production for programmers who can read sheet music and know what an FFT is" post

for 1: "fuck around and try to match what you hear the hard way, learn what various effects sound like"

for 3: "it's not a strictly well-defined problem; the FFT is only defined over a temporal interval, and changing the interval changes the resulting FFT since the song changes over time"

Garfield is a powerful esper

thinking about the lore implications of this

like I'm working on my music player and it supports a limited set of formats, right, and if someone opened a PR for one of the missing formats I'd be like "no, but if you rewrite it to support multiple decoder backend I'll take a look"

on the other hand if someone asked for a gui or Spotify support I'd just close it with "this is a terminal player and I don't use Spotify, fork it if you want those things"

i think if we want a better open source culture we have to accept that for small single-dev projects "no, i don't feel like doing this, patches welcome" is a valid response to a nontrivial issue, and "no, I don't feel like doing this, and I also don't want the maintenance burden so i won't even accept patches" is as well
