Doctors with one border

I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can't represent 4D data spatially.

My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as "visualization".

And it is not possible to "visualize 4D"

Sure it is.

  • 3 spatial dimensions + time
  • 3 spatial dimensions + 1 color dimension (grayscale)
  • 2 spatial dimensions + 2 color dimensions
  • etc

And that's not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that's projected to 2D (almost every photo you've ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.

(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)

I think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

For the major continents, we have these plates:

  • North American
  • South American
  • Eurasian
  • African
  • Australian
  • Antarctic

There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Nothing? It's literally the primary source.

Did NYT support the war? Let's look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.

Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

Kamala: "He lost the election, and he's clearly having a hard time processing that."

Yeah, I think so.

At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it's actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny...

Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it's harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.

But also I'm a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)

I love my Turris Omnia!

I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.

I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.

 

On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature.

Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!"

For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM.

This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing.

Do people intentionally disconnect mid battle?

I've seen a ton of DCs, both early in the game and late.

It really hurts my enjoyment of the game. Like, even if we're getting smoked, I'd rather stick around and work as a team to the end. I mean, it's only a couple minutes. And a DC counts as a loss anyway.

It's really frustrating to see all of these DCs. Are people really rage quitting, or is it just bad networking?

Edit: I just got Splatoon 3 for Christmas, but I'm a veteran of the series. Rage quitting did not seem to be as big of a problem in the previous two games.
