payments/transfers would be both much slower AND much more expensive than via a bank

Not necessarily. You could have a federated system, where only big players like banks participate in larger blockchain, like banks already do with forex and wire transfers and pay ridiculous fees to clearing agencies, and clear out local transfers locally, possibly inside their own smaller and much faster blockchain.

EDIT: Alright, this is a terrible case because the parent element has flex and therefore no inline-flex is necessary there, but I'd argue it's the parent element being flex that is redundant, rather than child element being inline.

Chromium is a superior engine, yes. But Chrome itself, at least in my eyes, looks to be the least capable browser out of the bunch. I'd rather Vivaldi if I had to switch.

Huh, neat. The last time I looked, chrome was also plagued by this. Might actually re-start some projects I had, but it sucks to have to use chrome.

inline-flex is indeed necessary since we're growing left to right and flex would take the entire/fixed width, unless it's also inside a flexbox.

Sure. Here you go. The green container should cover all red boxes in both cases. I've been bashing my head against this issue for a while, but, as far as I understand, this is a bug that's never going to be fixed. Which sucks, because I wanted to re-design some of the apps in the horizontal metro-style scrolling manner for the bottom screen on my zephyrus duo, but this effectively prevents me from doing so (Unless I use grids and set positions manually).

It's 2024 and flexboxes still don't work that well with vertical direction and wraparound...

I'm appalled that classes representing visual styles are still a thing. I thought everyone already figured that it was a bad idea back in bootstrap days. But then I recently had an opportunity to work on project that uses Vuetify and saw quite long poems about flexboxes in class names...

¿Por qué no los dos?

many queer artists have deliberately used this color palette

There were definitely none that did before the wiki article was created.

It also uses sources such as Vice and the BBC

The article from BBC is fluff written by a rando and is based completely off twitter circlejerk. VICE is not a reliable source as anyone can register as an author and make articles there.

The relationships table should also have enum for relationship type. It might be friends, family, platonic relations etc. Also might want to check sex_drive to handle ace gals and something to do with kinsey scale not to bother lesbians.

Yes.

Just get to know HR first. They might be mysogynists themselves (even if they are female).

This 'compress' everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus "oops, all your files are gone, tee hee". GZ everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

CTO at my previous company

Are we talking about Hillary the Drone strike Julian Assange, Clinton here? "Genocide Joe" is absolutely fucking nothing compared to her.

The most obvious example I know of is this one. Not a thing, never was a thing, and the entire page is just folk from 196 and blahaj dunking on wikipedia. And check out the talk page where they try to pretend that the skeleton image is the best representation of said "phenomenon", while simultaneously removing any messages doubting it's existence.

and it has decent citations

Not a case anymore, unfortunately. There are leftist meme articles that only cite tweets and buzzfeed reposting said tweets, but if you try to do anything about it, your edits will be instantly reverted and your account will get banned.

You've had a great prof! Mine unfortunately wasn't as good and just handed me the book and asked how much energy it would take to lift it. Myself, thinking of muscles as linear motors rather than solid structures, said something along the lines of: "Depends on how fast you want me to do it. Just holding it I have to exert something like 10 watts, give or take", and he went absolutely wild, calling me names and saying that I'm dumb for even asking it, implying that it takes no energy to hold things, hence the plank challenge. Gotta admit, though, that I might have missed the topic of that particular lecture as I wasn't paying as much attention to it as I was about writing everything down with perfect formatting in LaTeX, hoping to catch up before the exams... Which got me in trouble with another prof who denied me from even taking the exam because she thought I was playing games during her lectures (I was the only student who brought a laptop), and to get to her I had to deal with a yet another prof who thought I was an outlaw biker because she saw me wearing a leather jacket, and tried to humiliate me in front of the board. Still a step up from a different uni that had the audacity to post a price-list for the grades on the door to exam room... One is the top university in my home region and second is mid-tier in the capital, so this is basically the sad state of academia in Russia, and, by certain extent, CIS countries. Speaking of which, do you happen to know any good (and preferably free) online courses on maths and physics? I know about khan academy, but it's a bit hard for me to chew through, and 3blue1brown who's been absolutely invaluable in clearing some of the crucial concepts I needed both for work and for learning stuff in general. Even though I'm fairly well off without it, I'd like to someday figure out what's the deal with quantum computing is, and not just that "a qubit is both 1 and 0 at the same time" which doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

It's about the followers of this guy.

There's barely information about him in English, but he basically wrote quite a few books "decoding" words off shitty photocopies of photos of historic artifacts. He was largely a laughing stock, but he did get a few followers, mostly elderly with early onset dementia, but also notably a few of high profile personalities, maybe even a couple of Putin's advisors.

For laughs, here are some of the most famous examples of his "deciphering" works:

• Here's the sun saying that it's a church of Rurik of varyags
• This one says that Smolensk is actually Moscow
• Or that Pushkin was a house cat
• That 9/11 was a god's punishment (and also that martians are apparently dyslexic and only know 3 words)
• Or that a bunch of photocopying artifacts tell how great Russian warriors were

The dumbest shit I've heard throughout my year was at uni, from a physics professor, no less. He, with a straight face, was telling us that highlanders live longer because oxygen content is lower at high altitudes, and since oxygen is an oxidant, it makes people corrode away(??) faster and causes aging.

He was also a Chudinist, which is pseudo-science about searching the words RUS and names of old pagan gods in random, sometimes absolutely ridiculous places, like freshly crumpled A4 sheet or on the surface of the sun, and claiming it to be a sign of existence of greater ancient slavic race.

I once got into an argument with him because he was claiming that lifting an item in hands takes constant amount of energy, no matter how fast you do it. So I challenged him to a 5 minute plank... and he kicked me out from the class. But I didn't care, as I soon flunked out of that uni because he wasn't even the most schizo prof over there.

Всмысле блядь нет русских ботов? Я что для вас, шутка?
