Thanks to everyone who helped and supported us to make this happen.
@fakemoewbot the account system is integrated? I made a new acct for the discourse instance.
Why write automated unit tests if they aren't going to run? #softwaredevelopment 🤦🏾
@freemo @admin you're sounding like Bacon's (translated) novum organum (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/te8gXf9fXb7JWbJ9b/novum-organum-introduction). I think I found it in a toot somewhere around here
@freemo fair enough. what's the meta-response then? what set of responses for most people you deal with would be useful in, say, making people (at least the ones you are contact with) more scientifically literate over observable time scales? :P
@izaya isn't that the very recent past?
@freemo It's fun and easy to take words that everyone uses, give them a special meaning, and then chide those who don't know your meaning for their ignorance.
I understand the frustration of witnessing apparently uncritical examination of truly difficult subjects paired with absolute confidence in the conclusions drawn. The question I have is, what's the most useful response?
cooking
@covered-in-pillows oh. I meant for the filling of the "taco pie". It seems that knowing how to make it not soggy, and not too salty etc while still flavorful would be useful
@chris I hope by "fix this" you mean "fix gnucash UX". it *is* a good program, but it's got some funky behaviors.
cooking
@covered-in-pillows that could be quite good. Will you make a recipe?
#blender
is looking for a back-end dev: https://www.blender.org/jobs/back-end-developer/
@izaya if you need to understand the assembly you should be writing in lower-level language like C anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mhkYbznBk <-- First video of a series of #physics talks by #RichardFeynman on "The Character of Physical Law". Pretty introductory, but whets your appetite for the mathematics and experimentation that his statements rely on. It's especially cool to hear him talk about the uncertainties in the laws at that time and look to what's been learned since then.
@natecull weird. so you're meant to mail the latter back? How does it work exactly? I would think the postal system could gather whatever metrics without you seeing the artifacts
@vnarek 👋
@izaya what game?
@freemo I'm no expert on human anatomy, but a couple of those look impossible without breaking your pelvis/kneecaps
