Really pisses me off

Last router I had to install had a manual that was literally only “Put this cable in this hole. Click this button. Et voila.” with no explanation what any of the other buttons or slots or indicators were for.

I always include examples of the actual commands

You’re an angel.

People doing stupid challenges. People’s attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they’re more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing

Sorry but this reeks of moral panic.

It was just an example of an infinite, non-repeating number that still does not contain every other finite number

Another example could be 0.10100100010000100000… with the number of 0’s increasing by one every time. It never repeats, but it still doesn’t contain every other finite number.

It means something in the vein of confused but people think it means amused

Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Humans don’t fall far when they’re born either. It would be very improbable for a human to be born and somehow land somewhere else than on Earth.

Sticking around and “lurking” for a bit before you try to engage with a new community, to learn the local etiquette before you make an ass of yourself. Or at least reading the rules as a bare minimum.

I have an ambient playlist with artists like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Sync24, 36, Cell, and some tracks from video game soundtracks.

I’m impressed.

Just two more weeks

I tried to use Pocket because of Mozilla’s relentless promotion, but I ended up finding it too clunky compared to regular bookmarks.

Not really. I tried staring at a picture of Obama for 5 minutes, keeping my eyes fixed on his nose exactly between the eyes. After two minutes it was like his face got squashed vertically, his mouth got closer to his eyes and his ears got more pronounced. After 3 minutes my mind began trying to fill in his mouth, stopped seeing the teeth and instead just saw closed lips, like the area was a blind spot that the mind had to guess about. I saw both teeth and lips overlaying each other, like if each eye saw a different version, or if you hold your finger close to your eye and see both it and the background simultaneously.

For the last minute his features began morphing slightly, but never that much at a time before springing back. His eyes got a little downturned, his nose got a little less pronounced, and so on, but the features always corrected themselves immediately when my eyes moved just a little bit.

Again, I think it’s about how our eyes work. They’re not cameras, they respond more to changes in their field of vision than they see the absolute image. Keeping your eyes still on a still image means nothing is changing, so the information reaching your brain is limited. It has to start making guesses to fill it in.

I always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn’t matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don’t think it’s anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.

I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato’s republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.

Safe to say it’s not a system I’d want to live in.
