Broccoli and kale are both brassica oleracea and are included under cabbage (another cultivar of the species). It has support for aliases though, so I don't get why it doesn't use that in this case. Broccoli is my archetypal b

For anyone reading this thread, I strongly recommend The Other Wind . It's a wonderfully emotional book about loss and about the importance of everyone in the endeavor to fix the world.

That's the point, it's the entrance to their sales funnel. Convince people that they're dirty and broken, then sell them the cure.

I recommend anyone who finds this topic interesting watch the video The Continuity of Splines . It's a detailed discussion of how you derive Bèzier and higher-order curves to serve your purposes. https://www.youtube.com&#x2

Bullshit, you're just being curmudgeonly. Hades, Horizon Zero Dawn, Baldur's Gate 3, lots of clever little indie games like One Shot, music like Rujnuj and Mana, and way more.

I'm fairly certain it also does some traffic correlation by IP or similar. Probably on the logic that if someone else in your household (sharing the same gateway) likes a video you might too. Of course this also ends up associating thi

You haven't accounted for endianness yet. After all, your left is my right when we're facing each other. Perhaps orient hands vertically and the upper one is the more significant set of bits. Also, for cases when one hand is unava

I go in slightly different directions on both of your proposals. I think intellectual property in general should be eliminated, though I think copyright is a good olace to start. As for the artistic endowment, I think that the task of dec

I recommend disassembling hard disks and keeping the magnets, they're super useful to have to capture loose screws and the like. Glue one to the end of a stick or telescoping pointer and you have a way to retrieve magnetic things that

Long, long before that, when they gave it to a guy who intentionally prolonged the Vietnam War and ordered the bombing of civilians in a country not even involved in the war. https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftheint

I'm not at all surprised that the propaganda arm of a fascist cult [1] has a Youtube channel. It's one of the best places for propaganda these days. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

I recently started a new job and opted for a mac thinking "it's a unixy system, so it'll be more like my home linux setup". I have some regrets. The forced scroll acceleration is particularly intolerable; I had to find L

Basically all of the music I've bought in the last 5ish years I found through the channel Years of Silence. That person apparently has a very similar taste to me. Rujnuj has remained my favorite album for several years, especially si

The advantage of having two monitors is that I can look at two things at the same time. I have my main monitor centered and my second off to the side. My browser mostly lives on my second monitor while my IDE lives on my main. I spend a lar

Pycharm does, and so does any other jetbrains IDE with their python plugin installed. It's a large part of the reason I bother putting type annotations in my code, to help my IDE help me.

Same for me, I write either markdown or latex and both have this behavior. In latex it's outright recommended, for ease of commenting out or moving sentences.

GenX and older. I get the impression that you read ellipses with a very different tone than I do. Ellipses indicate trailing off your sentence, especially with suggestive connotations [1]. As you can imagine, this is uncomfortable to read j

Facebook is even worse in other countries, where they promote outrage algorithmically then don't hire any moderators to even try and keep it in check. This way they're implicated in the genocide of the Rohingya people in Myanmar:
