Yeah, that's why I said might, since any evidence is circumstantial and could have another explanation. I did not intend to present that as fact but merely a possibility of even more extreme environment changes than jungle to grasslands that we might have had in our ancient past.

Depends on how far you go back. Grasslands came after jungles/forests.

Based on some of our traits (nose shape good for diving, can control our breathing voluntarily, fingers get more grippy when wet, lack of fur), we might have even been semi-aquatic for a while.

I had planned on getting a 4k monitor as part of my upgrade path. But then when it came time to get it, I stopped and looked closely at my 1440p monitor and realized that I never thought games didn't have enough pixels to look good.

I ended up just getting an ultra wide 1440p instead and don't regret it.

In optimization problems where you are trying to find the minimum or maximum, you can get stuck in a local valley/crest where one option looks better than any other nearby options but if you move far enough away, you start getting even better options.

IMO with the Chinese attitude towards education, community, and government investment in contrast to the US attitude, it's only a matter of time before they take the lead in many tech categories.

Also the federated nature of it means that no one has enough power such that they can abuse it in a way that hides their abuse on the entire platform. With the modlog, you can see what the original message was that prompted a moderator response. And with other instances, you can make an account elsewhere and talk about it even if an admin banned you.

Oh yeah, you just reminded me of how unusable teams was for scrolling back up in a chat to look at older messages on a slower machine. Skype was at least capable of that because it had the history stored locally. But teams unloads the message as soon as it was out of view and needs to fetch it from the server and must have done it very inefficiently because I started giving up on checking chat history until I got my newer machine.

Or:

Hey, check out the new calendar! We have

<features>

No, you're describing features that have been in it for a while now, it's not that new anymore

A few days later: Hey, check out the new calendar! We have

<same list of features>

Still no, and I don't mean later, I just mean no

The first time I saw excel open in a web browser, I was impressed that they managed to get it running in a web browser but also appalled that they wanted to get it running in a web browser for actually using it in a web browser instead of just for the novelty, like running doom on anything with a cpu and display.

First thing I do whenever a document opens on the browser version is click the buttons to open it in the native app if I intend to edit it.

They made it shitty to try to justify making it a subscription.

As I understand it, TSMC and Taiwan themselves have a plan to blow up the foundries should a China invasion look like it's going to succeed. They are already rigged with the explosives from what I understand.

The billionaires were making a LOT of money.

I'd love it if deleted posts included a link to the mod log to easily see if it was a case of moderator power tripping or just some asshole commenter.

Probably some condescending bullshit that sounds good to people who don't know the full context and setting up a meeting with someone he claims will help them but is actually just his abusive travel agent buddy that gives him a kickback for all new clients he sends him.

Whatever way you go with, if it pops up a "THIS MIGHT BRICK YOUR COMPUTER" kind of warning, maybe consider one of the other options instead of ignoring it and then complaining about how nothing in Linux works.

That's the worst when your cycle time is very long. You fix a bug in the code, start your test running again and come back to check the next day only to see the exact same bug again and might think that your fix didn't work and something more esoteric is going on ("maybe it's a compiler or hardware bug!" (It almost never is)).

Then you add a bunch of debug prints to really get a good idea of what's going on and rerun the test. Either you remembered to save and suddenly the mystery bug is gone because the fix is still in the code. Or maybe you forgot to save again and now it looks like it's not even reaching any of the code you added the prints to.

Thing is, if it just guesses what you meant instead of sticking to the standard, you can end up with ambiguous meanings. Like what if you forgot a character that wasn't a semicolon but inserting a semicolon would turn it into valid code?

Like:

x = y z++;

Inserting a semicolon would turn that into set x to the value of y and then increment z. But maybe the line is missing a plus instead of a semicolon and the intent was to set x to y plus z and then increment z.

It's a pain but strict syntax helps avoid frustrating to debug bugs.

Taking it a step even further, you can make your code more robust by treating warnings similarly to errors. Even though the general cases usually still work despite warnings, they are great for avoiding edge cases that can also be difficult to debug. At least if you take the time to understand what the warning is really about and don't just google "how to get rid of warning x" and add some casts or something you don't understand to make the message go away.

Black eyes, and I'm getting a sense of dread... Darth Vader?

It's a safety issue. You need to find a urinal buddy to help protect you from any perverts that might enter the bathroom while you're pissing.

Remember the whole secret code involving narwhals and bacon that some of Reddit leaned into while others cringed? And a good portion weren't even aware of it despite using Reddit.

Though that's more like 16 years ago now I think.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Sea levels rise and fall with ice ages. There's a ton of ice sitting on Greenland and Antarctica right now that wasn't there 5 million years ago and sea levels (ocean) were 10 - 30m higher than they are today. And the Mediterranean fluctuated even more than that.

But, that said, there has definitely been some significant uplift (probably between 1km to 1.5km) involved from Africa and Europe colliding.

So the uplift dominates the sea level decline (outside of events like the one the article is about), but the exact position of the coastline is still dependent on the sea level.
