I've always wanted to hire a private investigator to investigate myself. Just start by doxxing myself for them, and then be like, "Come back with whatever other information you're able to find."

It feels like people want counterculture minus the dystopia, which is an oxymoron.

This is… interesting… Prosocial behavior, the act of helping others, is essential to social life, yet spontaneous environmental triggers for such behavior remain underexplored. This study tested whether an unexpected event, such as the presence of a person dressed as Batman, could increase prosocial behavior by disrupting routine and enhancing attention to the present moment. We conducted a quasi-experimental field study on the Milan metro, observing 138 rides. In the control condition, a femal...

Is there any blockchain, the "currency" of which is worth so little that no one will ever buy it or spend it in the conventional sense? By design, I mean; actually just a blockchain, and the tokens are worth several zeroes past the decimal of a penny, and they always will be, and that's technically still proof of work? Is there something I'm not understanding here? I'm trying to picture having the ability to prove things cryptographically, and where that thing is worthle...

I miss the 4:3 aspect ratio. It is mathematically way more efficient than anything that's common now. Unlike the aspect ratios that replaced it, you can literally do this one in your head: 3^2 = 9 4^2 = 16 9+16 = 25 5^2 is also 25, as expected. So a rectangle with sides 3 and 4 has a diagonal of 5. If you try this with 16:9, 16:10, or probably any of the others (I'm assuming there are some I've never seen, whether they were ever common or not), you will not get a whole number....

I'm curious just how far it would be possible to go, in terms of functionality, if one were to make a Fediverse server and a web frontend to go with it, where said frontend is written entirely in HTML and CSS and nothing else. Would it even function, enough? I feel like if so then that simply has to be more secure than anything involving JS (or whatever else like that, but that I know of offhand, JS)… right? #AskFedi #Fediverse #WebDev #Backend #Frontend

Randomly remembering the time when I realized that I needed a new phone, when I talked to someone over the phone and they commented on my southern accent. This is going exactly where one would expect: I do not have a southern accent. :myGenuineReaction:

There's something I like about the Fediverse—and, at least in theory, about any social network that is correctly referred to as "decentralized"—and this is one of main reasons why I've stuck around for as long as I have here. That is, you will never have a community here that revolves around you personally, no matter how popular you become here. You will find that impossible on a technical level, and that is at least somewhat by design. If you stick around long enough to hav...

Question(s) for anyone who knows barefoot shoes. Right now, I'm in Merrell Vapor Glove 6, men's U.S. size 10. The right one fits what-feels-like-about-perfect. My fifth metatarsal is slammed against the inside of the left shoe, though. So, AFAICT, the fitment issue is actually not with the width of the toe box but behind that. I'm almost certain that going from 10 to 10.5 would fix the problem with the left foot, but also that that would be too big on the right. Recommendations...

Gotta love the commercials that are like, "Professional driver, closed course. Do not attempt." You are driving 15 MPH while obeying every traffic law. Do not attempt what?
