  • On Lemmy, you get to make your own algorithm to choose which post comes first.
    So you can even go with a most-downvotes-first approach.

    It will matter depending upon what people choose.
    The usual ones on clients[1] are Hot, Top, Controversial, New and Old and the Controversial one has to do with both, upvotes and downvotes.


    1. or is it coming from the server? Yeah, it seems to be provided by the server ↩︎








  • because it’s so convenient to have a shelf-stable Just Egg

    You just gave me another reason not to buy into their marketing.

    But then again, I’m probably not their target audience.

    Eggs are too much of a hassle for me as the smell stick to the utensils (and then to the sponges I use to clean the utensils) and ruin the smell of non-egg things that I make later.

    So the only time I am taking eggs is if I am in a condition where I cannot do the occasional fasting due to a bad environment.

    I like mung as is and don’t need someone to ultraprocess it for me to desire it.

    I am fine with sugar. Specially considering this is a naturally occurring one vs eating refined sugarcane.





  • This is a nice example that also makes me think more questions.

    • Will the hole punching be forward or backward?
    • Assuming infinite deceleration, for an observer on the other end of the barn, will the barn be punched through, before or after the pole-pusher has stopped?
    • For the pole-pusher, will the barn be punched through, before or after it has stopped?

  • The only time any information can be encoded onto entangled particles is when they’re created.

    If that were the case, then we aren’t really doing FTL communication, unless we manage to entangle them at a distance. No?

    OIC, it’s still useful if we want to make a secret key and send it somewhere. Then both sides can take a reading sometime in the future and they can then use whatever cluster of entangled particles they saw, as the symmetric key.
