  • platformers very often include coyote-time to make jumps feel better and to account for imprecise reaction times of players, but that would be cool to see it as a legit mechanic

  • Because "tasteless" also has the alternative definition, meaning "gaudy", "tacky", or "pretentious". So, I think they did indeed think about it, perhaps even longer than you did before getting all worked up over it.

  • I use FiraCode Nerd Font Mono instead, but it also does not have a specific italic font. In my config, only the "normal" section is defined, but all my bold and/or italic text looks like it should. Apparently, alacritty will apply a heavier weight or slant to the "normal" type face if you simply omit the "bold" or "italic" sections. So, what you have right now should Just Work.

    Allegedly, you can omit the "style" specification in the "italic" section (ie: just add "italic": {"family": "FiraMono Nerd Font"}, to your config snippit above), but i haven't actually tried doing it that way.

  • I truly appreciate the pic! They've been putting in a new housing development nearby, and apparently have no idea how to NOT knock my power out at least once a week (which as a work-from-home programmer is... not ideal). So I am just gonna wait until the blasting calms down before i try to figure it out again lol

  • Yes, but the SEO methods and Google's ranking methods have been evolving together over time. Meaning SEO used in content from some time ago may have less impact on the results you see today. Of course, this is just a hypothesis based on a thing I read a few months ago that I can't even tell you the name of lol

  • Due to some poorly placed quotes, I managed to create a subdirectory named ~ in my home folder. You can imagine what happened next. Luckily, I had just gotten my backup system up and running the day before, so nothing was lost.

  • The Retina Wikipedia page seems to agree with you:

    In vertebrate embryonic development, the retina and the optic nerve originate as outgrowths of the developing brain, specifically the embryonic diencephalon; thus, the retina is considered part of the central nervous system (CNS) and is actually brain tissue.

  • Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States "Unitied Mexican Stateans"? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it's silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas "American" anyway; they are two different continents! "North American" or "South American" would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

  • While i do think life exists elsewhere in the universe, I think the chances of extraterrestrial biological entities coming to our planet is exceedingly unlikely. Space is just too big, and there isn't any hard evidence that faster-than-light travel is even possible.

    Although, the universe isn't just big -- it's old. There could be some ancient civilization from an ancient planet that became uninhabitable long ago. If they were technologically advanced enough to escape their solar system before things went tits-up AND were able to live multiple generations fully in space AND they just so happened to set out in our direction, I guess it's possible that they found us. Even then, i would expect any UFOs or whatever would merely be probes, not the actual biological entities themselves.

  • The particular acid (sulfuric acid) in the graph is especially complicated b/c it has three different protonation states that are favored at different pHs. Other acids (like nitric, for example) at least only have two protonation states to worry about...

  • LotR is generally published in three named volumes, but each volume is broken up into two "books" (in this context, meaning a major division of a literary work, not a set of bound pages). FotR, Book II starts with the chapter "Many Meetings" (when Frodo wakes up in Rivendell).
