Or take DMT as a crystalline, naturally produced substance. As far as I know, there's no Methamphetamine in nature, although I've become very careful with the terms none/all in biology.

Depending on your definition of poison of course, but at least for LSD and magic mushrooms, all that's known is a lower bound for their biological toxicity. For LSD IIRC it's somewhere in the 30mg (!) range, for mushrooms it'

On the other hand, lots of people have the liberating experience of discovering that "no tip" is a sensible default to press, and from then on we're out of the tipping game. Bots don't guilt trip me anymore, hooray!

I'd say it's quite the opposite, Google is the only thing that made Go become somewhat popular.

"Check it out, a licence plate" still rings in my head. It's a random sentence at the very end of the demo. 10-ish me must have played that first short level dozens of times. But as you said, the framerate was ok, and the fin

Algebraic too. There's also the opposite in physics though, "modern" means from the 60s with square roots drawn in manually.

There are a couple of communities that have almost no phone presence. Certain kinds of music festivals are an example, and it's really quite nice not having to worry about being filmed.

The idea is so good it’s as close to platonic as it gets. The user experience of writing your own nix expressions is so bad that it makes me angry every time I try. Not only that, but at some point the beginner help (!) meta became »use fla

Do you have a link? There are plenty of snippets that are easy to find, is there one canonical full video?

I used to use WikiTok [1] on my phone at times, but now they’ve introduced »words appear word by word« on the mobile version. Baffles me, why one would hide and gradually reveal any sort of content. It’s nauseating! [1]: https://

Bezier curve are just nested lerps! A bezier curve of degree 1 is lerp, what we usually call "bezier curve" is of degree 3. It's a mathematical property that bezier curves (degree n) can be split exactly into two bezier curve

In my recent experience, a new culture of "I switched to Linux and it's fine" is establishing itself. It's on HN, sometimes on YouTube, sometimes my friends are unhappy with ads in their OS. It takes a very good reason t

You can configure a window resize hotkey. I use Win+(drag the window with right mouse) and it resizes it i the way you expect, moving the corner closest to the cursor. Left click would move the window instead of resizing. This is by far my

Flameshot (a screenshot tool) in its newer versions (!!) uses random noise for pixelation, and colors it based on the un-noised surroundings so it blends in reasonably. It's a nice mix if optically unobtrusive, algorithmically secure,

Noether is one of my heroes. Rising through the ranks to one of the greatest minds we've known, recognized in spite of being a woman in a time where that was unthinkable in science, all odds against her. And yet here she is, the name o

To expand on Firefox mobile: if you haven’t tried it, give it a shot. uBlock Origin works just like on desktop. I have seen maybe five ads on my phone browser (including Youtube!) since buying it in 2019.

One of the reasons I stopped doing photography was that I realized I’m locked to using Lightroom where all my previous pictures are, and without a subscription it’s such a hassle to gain access to them again. I miss the days when I just bou

I love that in the end, everything still comes down to using bash (and env vars), because for all its footguns and strings, it's still the most reasonable choice when giving up on the zoo of newer formats. I expect it to outlive us all

TAPL, I meant TAPL (Types and Programming languages by Pierce)! This would not have happened with a well-typed comment section. I mixed up OP's book (which is nice as well!) and the abbreviation. Sorry!

TTOP is the standard work on the topic. Some parts I would say fell out of fashion (using Miranda for example), but many parts are either timeless or still just as relevant. That said, the book is very dense; for me it was just too much t

My gaming PC is a very unloved Windows machine, if not for that I'd be long gone (everything else is Linux). Come to think of it, gaming is why I used windows in the first place, starting with 95. With the Steam Deck and its push for L

I’m curious about those traps. I used to hate Soulslikes, Elden Ring made it click, and I binged them all on PC. Traps became part of some twisted humor, I started waiting for the (literal) punchline. I missed traps, or as I started calling

I aborted my 3 Hollow Knight attempts because of boss runbacks. Is there a mod that, I don’t know, adds benches before bosses or something? Then I might finally finish the game. I do enjoy hard-but-fair boss fights after all.

The shade also makes the places you died in actively harder. It’s a baffling design decision. Compare it to Dark Souls, where souls aren’t even that valuable (because you level up often enough, and single levels aren’t important). Plus, whe

The second factor does not have to be a second device . Like everything security, it’s what you’re protecting against. Shoulder surfing and device theft are not something I worry about in my home setup, for example.

That's pretty much what I do! 3x3 virtual desktops, Win+(qwe,asd,yxc) switches to one just like the keys are laid out on my (qwertz) keyboard. Top middle is browser. Bottom left is everything chat and communication. Center left is the
