Matplotlib has XKCDify which is similar[0]. It's great for rough or estimated graphs that are not to be read accurately. [0]: https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2012/10/07/xkcd-style-plots-i...

So do you dutifully put your real first name into all forms? I know people who always go by shortened versions of their name (e.g. Rob instead of Robert). They just put in their preferred name as their first name for everything (uni, bills,

I am reminded of that Thunderbirds episode where they attempt to relocate the Empire State Building, with predictably disastrous consequences. [1] It's interesting how in many ways, the future the show predicted was more negative than

Ryo Fukui has been very popular for a long time with the /mu/ sort of crowd. There's a group of artists (ryo fukui, animal collective, neutral milk hotel, the antlers, mount eerie, destroyer, the avalanches, gsybe, etc) which

I know that amateur astronomers have tracked the position and trajectory of X-37B so surely countries with advanced space programs (Russia, China) would be able to do this with ease? I think a rendezvous with a known satellite would be dete

I think you replied to the wrong parent? Can't see anyone talking about class action lawsuits. Anyway, considering the stringency of aviation regulations designed to mitigate already very small risks, I think it would be consistent to

Narrative framing of planned downtime! Genius. I wonder if it's been done before? I guess it only works with something as hyped as Fortnite

The reason you can't downvote yet is because downvoting stunts conversation and doesn't let anyone else know why the comment is bad, while not giving the parent an opportunity to defend their position because they don't know

It went trending a few times (so it appeared at the top of every users' screen). Going trending is often a death knoll for a subreddit but especially one like this, where the whole premise is a delicately constructed inside joke. Reddi

It's a streisand effect thing. Pooh was banned for one stupid meme, which made him a symbol of the ludicrousness of Chinese censorship and oppression. So yeah, it's a real thing in China

Can anyone explain why the private sector in Israel comes up with so many zero-days?

I'd say rally driving is the best analogy. Not only do you have to drive the car at peak performance, you also have to perform ad hoc repairs halfway through a stage

Wait a second. If the issue with the analysis is as the article says, that is that some countries were weighted far higher, that means that in some countries the original conclusion does hold (probably for a small sample size). Perhaps this

The problem is that the evidence of individual women is fallible, and can be brushed off. The comments he made in the mailing list are in the public record and are therefore undeniable evidence, which serves to reinforce previous claims of

In my opinion Kria's best work is on Pullhair Rubeye, the album she did together with Dave. Unfortunately they chose to release the album completely reversed, so you'll have to find a fixed version on YouTube.
