We all find different people weird. You just need to find the weirdos you vibe with.

The details were destroyed long ago by the poor compression, you aren't getting them back either way.

What course of action would you have suggested?

pxndxx — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:15:58 +0000

Sampling does not lose information below the Nyquist limit, but quantization does introduce errors that can't be fixed. And resampling at a different rate might introduce extra errors, like when you recompress a JPEG.

They are tiny and the ones not on your fovea don't register enough "pixels" for your brain to recognise the rotation.

Some of the keywords are quite sus, but I enjoyed the boolean literals being based/cringe.

Vueling, the largest airline in Spain is actually shifting from the 320 to an all Boeing 737 MAX fleet in the coming years. I was really sad to hear that given it's size and presence in Europe.

Is this an important distinction? Goose or duck they suffer the same.

New comment by pxndxx in "Why English doesn't use accents"

pxndxx — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 08:51:16 +0000

Yeah there are multiple accents in Spanish, but each accent is still a 1:1 mapping from written word to pronunciation, there's no enough/through/dough nonsense.

monochromatic light as emitted by LEDs is quite disorienting.

Inscryption captured the "videogame creepypasta" genre in an actual, pretty good roguelike video game, if you want more of this!

People do drive to smelly, expensive _gas stations_ to power their gas-powered cars. Having to drive to plug your EV is not worse UX than that.
