ok but isn’t telling an extrovert to talk less the same as telling an introvert to talk more??

like…

As an average OG ex-redditor, Lemmy needs to move away from it's base barebones UI to something like Photon by default, here's why. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Yeah I mean if you really want a UI with no JavaScript you can still use one, it’s really just a case of better defaults here (and I totally agree).

Trailing slash lets you do this though:

For example, in the case of <div/>Some text, browsers interpret this as <div>Some text</div>, treating the slash as ignored and considering the div element to encapsulate the text that follows.

Apple reportedly has plans for a thinner iPhone, MacBook Pro and Apple Watch in c/technology@lemmy.world

Make the phone half as thick, then double the battery and fill the rest with thermals.

Apple: Yes, yes, this innovation constitutes a $600 price increase.

SpaceOS is built for the modern Web, so anything you do on the Web, you can now do - in space.

AKA it’s a glorified Chromebook in terms of functionality. Not there yet…

Neither, you do it for both. And then you do the same for the two new Georgias…

Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet in c/technology@lemmy.world

I mean, I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. Trains don’t take me to my family across the planet in 11 hours. I’d prefer to feel secure when flying there.

Also, researchers asking ChatGPT for long lists of random numbers were able to extract its training data from the output (which OpenAI promptly blocked).

Or maybe that’s what you meant?

My first thought exactly :P

On the other hand, TAI does not take into account the variations in Earth's rotation speed, which determines the true length of a day. For this reason, UTC is constantly compared to UT1. Before the difference between the two scales reaches 0.9 seconds, a leap second is added to UTC.

On average, Earth has been slowing down a bit over the past decades, so UTC is currently running 37 seconds behind TAI.

Greenland Size [xkcd] in c/comicstrips@lemmy.world

[–] dukk@programming.dev 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The Earth is a sphere, which means there’s no easy way to project it onto a flat surface. One of the methods used to project the Earth’s surface on the map results in certain places (such as Greenland) to be stretched to huge sizes, sometimes appearing as big as Africa (look up “Mercator map”). The joke here is that while we expect him to make a comment about the map’s projection, he instead comments on how Greenland on the physical map is only a few inches, as opposed to its actual size.

So yeah, subverted expectations, peak Dad joke
