Smart password
  • i have totally run into stuff that silently truncates the password i give it. It's always something like online banking that you would hope has robust enough security standards to hash that shit, too... The one in particular i'm thinking of silently truncated the password in the reset-password form, but not for the log-in form. Took me forever to figure out wtf was going on there.

  • What games did you have a good time with that you just never finished?
  • i do this all the time. when i get close to finishing the game, i HAVE to go do all the side quests i neglected to finish along the way. Then i get burned out and beforei do the final boss... But my SO has similar video game tastes as me, so i end up just watching him do the final boss on his save hahaha

  • Shower thoughts are wasting water.
  • Sometimes i'll do this in the winter. We try to minimize heat/AC energy usage, and i get cold easily, so once i'm in the nice warm shower it takes a minute to work up the courage to make the mad dash to get my clothes back on lol

  • I can't disagree.
  • I love the lane assist on my car. It does resist me a little bit in the situations you describe, but it's not a strong resistance. Just enough to get my attention if i do it by accident, but not enough to hinder me going where i need to go.

    Now i'm curious what the lane assist parameters look like for different makes and models...

  • And people who don't read make fun of you for it.
  • That's how i was until i took a French class. Before that, I was trying to fit everything into a single set of rules with a multitude of exceptions. But really there are multiple sets of rules. Learning another set of rules for a language that had such a huge impact on what English is today really helped (although, there are still plenty of exceptions to keep in mind lol)

  • Light
  • I think, from the photon's perspective, the time between emission and absorption is instantaneous (since they're traveling at the speed of light). i imagine a photon's journey would feel like utter chaos.

  • Shitpost
  • 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

  • Eat the rule
  • 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.

  • [solved] Alacritty font settings for Fira Mono
  • 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.

  • Beep volume increases 420% after midnight
  • 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
