5 axis and 5 dimensions are essentially the same thing, right? A 2D graph has 2 axes, a 3D one has three, 4D graph can be shown with colour representing the 4th axis, etc.

It came right up to the gas storage facility- I bet they worked pretty hard to stop that particular candle from lighting up.

Is there a sub that is less focused on interesting data, and more focused on data presented beautifully?

Neon Genesis Evangelion. The ‘angels’ are the baddies that arrive to fuck up humanity.

It’s an absolute classic. Go watch it.

I once sent a friend this clip to explain who I was going to see that night- Austin Lucas. He’s one of the artists I tell people about when they think that all country music is the same. Great singer, great storyteller. I had to explain to my friend that Emily Barker wouldn’t be there, as awesome as that would be, but I was still super psyched to finally see Austin in person.

He transformed that small back room in a dingy London pub into a raw hug of emotional energy. He was off the stage, circled by a small crew just vibing and loving what he was sharing, watching the tears in his eyes.

And then he said his friend was in town, and he’d like to welcome Emily Barker to come and sing.

• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

I’ve witnessed a lot of talk about this song- I love me a good cover- and this is the first time I’ve read this quote. Thanks for that, it gives some great context.

It’s pretty niche. I’d be interested in it as a device for messaging between folks who are out of mobile range - think farmers, hikers, mountain climbers, forestry workers, fire service, etc.

This isn’t Indian, it’s Thai- they are known for their insane ads.

Is there a file size limit?

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

Iirc, they were left behind when troops moved out. The drip doohickey would make it fire after a while, giving the enemy the impression the trenches were still manned.

In Australia, on the east coast (Brisbane-Sydney-Melbourne) the highways are certainly possible to ride, but the https://www.nswcoastcycle.com/ is a much better option that a lot of bikepackers don’t seem to find easily.

At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

It has been noted for its leading examples of religious freedom and progressive political reforms, and became known as the “City of Churches” due to its diversity of faiths.
