The Unicode Consortium specifies only three types of faces with hats and one of them usually does not even include a hat: every design of “disguised face” has groucho glasses but only the Huawei HarmonyOS emoji set adds a hat to it:

what do you mean you haven’t installed it yet, just curl | sudo bash what’s your problem

if that is the case I choose upper-left of the political compass for you (:

i’m curious, where do you place yourself on that compass? if you’ve got 20 minutes I highly recommend this video about it.

The project has been associated with an increase in the number and aggressiveness of black bears in town, including entering homes, mauling people, and eating pets. A single, definitive cause for the abnormal behavior of the bears has not been proven, but it may be due to libertarian residents who refuse to buy and use bear-resistant containers, who do not dispose of waste materials (such as feces) safely, or who deliberately put out food to attract the bears to their own yards, but do not feel any responsibility for how their behavior affects their neighbors.

props to OP for still writing a first-person title for this post as if it is their own, despite it being a repost from at least a year ago 😂

(it is a good meme imo)

I think it’s healthy for the fediverse to have similar communities on different instances, because if we centralize, it basically becomes reddit, which means moderation and censorship are at the whims of whoever owns the only place people go.

💯

I like their proposed solution #3, but it is somewhat hampered by the DNS-centric model of ActivityPub. I hope that one day something like this proof-of-concept of making AP content-addresable (which i found via this post about “How decentralized is Bluesky really?”) will be widely adopted and make instances less important.

But even without such a major change as moving to content addressability, that blog’s proposed solution #3 (simply letting communities “follow” other communities) would let readers pick which moderation they like without posters needing to manually cross post to reach everyone: If communities A and B could mutually follow eachother, posts would by default appear on both but could be independently removed from either. 🤔

I tried giving them some other species

i don’t usually cross-post my comments but I think this one from a cross-post of this meme in programmerhumor is worth sharing here:

The statement in this meme is false. There are many programming languages which can be written by humans but which are intended primarily to be generated by other programs (such as compilers for higher-level languages).

The distinction can sometimes be missed even by people who are successfully writing code in these languages; this comment from Jeffrey Friedl (author of the book Mastering Regular Expressions) stuck with me:

I’ve written full-fledged applications in PostScript – it can be done – but it’s important to remember that PostScript has been designed for machine-generated scripts. A human does not normally code in PostScript directly, but rather, they write a program in another language that produces PostScript to do what they want. (I realized this after having written said applications :-)) —Jeffrey

(there is a lot of fascinating history in that thread on his blog…)

It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.

In the Mercator projection it appears to have about the same area as Africa, while in reality it is about a 14th of it. But, I wouldn’t say that “isn’t that large”: if Greenland was independent it would be (and Denmark is, because of it) the 12th largest country in the world.

yes, when the month is written non-numerically (and the year is written with four digits) there is no ambiguity.

but, the three formats in OP’s post are all about writing things numerically.

In some contexts, writing out the full month name can be clearer (at least for speakers of the language you’re writing in), but it takes more (and a variable amount of) space and the strings cannot be sorted without first parsing them into date objects.

Anywhere you want or need to write a date numerically, ISO-8601 is obviously much better and should always be used (except in the many cases where the stupid formats are required by custom or law).
