Flannel shirt is fine, but flannel pants are pajamas are only for wearing inside. A T-shirt made of jersey material is fine to be worn out, but thin jersey pants are pajamas and should only be worn at home, so says conventional wisdom.

But, if shirt is made of pant, then it's nice/slightly fancy. Denim shirt? Nice, durable, suitable for a restaurant.

I don't know if this applies to women's fashion, as it seems to have very different rules to men's wear

If the information is stored at some value of bits per cm... There's less bitrate (bits per revolution) in the middle of the record vs the outer edges.

I'm talking about these things here:

Proper time on wikipedia:

Linux process user time:

this is because this is the passing of time as seen by the process itself, not by an external observer. i.e. an external observer might measure absolute time (from their point of view) but time passes at a different speed (slower, in most cases) as experienced by the process itself. this is because it continues to sleep repeatedly, and so it doesn't wake up and do things, so it occupies fewer CPU cycles and it experiences less time itself.

They don't match up entirely to 1984, but it feels like these nations are going to gobble up countries like Hungry Hungry Hippos.

When I was young and starting out with computers, programming, BBS' and later the early internet, technology was something that expanded my mind, helped me to research, learn new skills, and meet people and have interesting conversations. Something decentralized that put power into the hands of the little guy who could start his own business venture with his PC or expand his skillset.

Where we are now with AI, the opposite seems to be happening. We are asking AI to do things for us rather than learning how to do things ourselves. We are losing our research skills. Many people are talking to AI's about their problems instead of other people. And they will take away our jobs and centralize all power into a handful of billionaire sociopaths with robot armies to carry out whatever nefarious deeds they want to do.

I hope we somehow make it through this part of history with some semblance of freedom and autonomy intact, but I'm having a hard time seeing how.

Cuz no paper anymore....

I hope this isn't political. I just find myself sometimes randomly thinking about the fact that Truth social is based on Mastodon and thinking about how weird it would be if they were to start federation.

Important caveat that this would depend on what changes they made to the code. Did they just disable federation or was the code stripped out? If stripped out how hard would it be to add it back?

Edit: maybe this was a dumb shower thought. I ended up deleting it.

When you're looking at someone you really love, your pupils dilate, letting more light into your eyes. That means the world is literally brighter to you.

As time goes on. Talk about peaking in 2009.

If you count the 8 bit era from the release of the Famicom in 1983 and the end of the 16 bit era at the release of the PlayStation in 1995, that's 12 years. The first deliberately retro style game I can remember playing was Mega man 9, released in 2008, and games made in the style of the 2D classics of yore are still being pumped out today, 17 years later.

And because someone is going to mention it, yes I know there were other consoles and computers before the NES/Famicom. The first console my family owned was an Atari 2600, wood grain and all, but there are far fewer modern games reminiscent of that style.

Are they just go to banks with bag of money and no one question that?

The day should start at like... Equatorial dawn or something.
