I was referring to Linux nerds, piracy anarchists, privacy/foss fanatics, etc. All of which are great, but may scare off new users.
Tankies are definitely a bit of a problem, although they usually stick to their own instances. Luckily I haven't encountered much if any racism on here. Where are you seeing it?
I think there are more "intense" people here (in a good way), but reddit can more aggressive and negative in general on the big subreddits.
Hexagons are really not better than triangles.
I kinda do agree with out on fractal geometry though, (although you're gonna see a lot of tiny triangle shapes). And also for certain applications, things like catenary curves are ideal.
I don't think 90 degree surfaces are going anywhere though. Having angled walls would be less space efficient, and angled floors would be a safety hazard. And cubes/rectangles are by far the easiest, most compatible shapes to efficiently design with. Although in your hypothetical future I guess we can just use the biocomputer superintelligence to design everything.
cgp grey is overrated and so are hexagons.
Hexagons are the tesselation of the densest circle packing, but other than that, they aren't really exceptional in any way.
There's a reason we use triangles for structural trusses, and rectangles for everything else. In fact, hexagons mostly just show up as a byproduct of how things are made, which is true for chicken wire as well as honeycomb.
How does this compare to element [matrix] ?
Hey, I was just saying reddit is a shitty place, not that you deserved it. Also I'm not sure what you want me to elaborate on. You can't expect me to give you specific instructions when you say nothing about yourself.
I would encourage you to be empathetic to others, and try to put yourself in their shoes. If if you're speaking to other people like you are in this comment, it's not surprising they don't want to be around you. (I know you're suffering and you probably don't mean it to, but this comment comes across as very combative and hostile, which would put many people off.) I'd recommend you read 'how to win friends and influence people', or at least check out an article or video summarizing it.
Also you seem to have a made quite a lot of assumptions about me. I'm not claiming to know any sort of higher truth, not sure where you got that from. I'm unemployed and never had a real career job, I've never been in a real romantic relationship, and I've spent days straight laying in bed too depressed and anxious to leave the house. I just know that I used to not want to be alive and now I do. I'm making progress very slowly, even when it doesn't feel like it. And it's mostly because I've put effort into friendships with others, and because I did a lot of introspection and changed how I view myself and the world.
You seem to have your mind made up that things can never get better, so I don't think there is anything I can say to you that will get through. But the fact that you posted something online rather than keeping it to yourself makes me think that there's still a part of you that doesn't feel that way. I think reddit banned you because, well it's reddit (what did you expect?) but also because you're acting like you're the only person who struggles with this sort of stuff, which can make other people feel invalidated.
Anyway, I think you would do well to consider that you may have a distorted view of yourself and the world because of your experience so far. If you've lived your whole life in the arctic, it's easy to believe the whole world is frozen.
If your family is cruel to you, that's unlucky that you were born to them, but it says nothing about you. And just because you've never found people who accept you YET, doesn't mean that you won't. You can choose not to believe it, but there ARE people who don't care about things like status or social skills, and who are genuinely caring. I know because I'm friends with some. I can't really recommend anything in particular, because I don't know you or what your life is like. I will say that the reason people recommend hobbies isn't because it can really fill a void in you, but because you could use it to meet people like you. And any group that is more marginalized or countercultural is likely to be more openminded.
Like you were saying, you're in a cycle that's hard to break out from. (no friends -> poor social skills -> harder time making friends. bad life situation -> depression -> harder to change your life ) Personally, I'm in the process of pulling myself out of a similar sort of cycle. It's easy to see yourself as worthless because of where you are in life, but that's a bit of an illusion. You're currently the worst version of yourself right now, because you're running on empty. The best version of yourself isn't some abstract impossibility that you missed your opportunity for, it's actually just you with a full tank and some time. Dismantling all of the negative cycles you're stuck in is extremely difficult, and setbacks are an expected part of the process. But you're not doomed to live the rest of your life as you are now.
Hey I saw your other post, and I think this was a good place to post this. Anyway this is my response:
Here's a bit of a harsh truth. Most of the advice you're responding to can't work if you're alone. It's very hard to enjoy hobbies or make progress in therapy if your needs aren't being met. (although if you have access, I would recommended medication for anxiety if that's a problem for you. But medication won't cure depression or trauma, it's impossible if you don't have support)
It's really hard and really scary, but I think you should try to find people you connect with.
I promise you, there ARE people out there who are genuinely good, who will care about you and accept you for who you are, even if it doesn't line up with the world's expectations.
Look for others who don't fit in with society. They tend to be the most interesting, the most genuine, and the least judgemental.
And give yourself some credit for surviving what you have, but realize that there's a chance your life could be better in the future, and it's worth it to keep trying, even if it's the hardest thing you ever do.
It's CYAN. Teal and turquoise are shades of cyan. Cyan is a primary color. This post is like asking if yellow is red or green.
Green is primary though, for additive color. For subtractive color, cyan is a primary color.
I think it's crazy how everyone acts like cyan doesn't exist. This original post is like saying, "is this [yellow] red or green?"
I think the killer feature of ff sync is being able to see open tabs on other devices. Is there any other way to achieve that?
Personally, I like they/them better. It's already been used for persons of unknown gender for a long time, and using it as explicitly non gendered is really seamless.
Wheras neopronouns can feel very attention calling and othering. Then there's the issue that most of them sound gendered anyway, ('zhir' sounds a lot more like 'her' than 'him')
I do agree about the need for more nb representation, though.
