It does mean something.

The skibidi toilet "creatures" are considered the antagonists, and the word is associated with their traits.

  • creepy
  • gross
  • scary
  • weird

Its an insult to and pretty much interchangeably with "creepy" with a splash of "cringe"

Often paired with "ohio" which means "bland" / " boring" / "mid"

Example:

"Yo he got that skibidi Ohio rizz"

Translation:

"This dude has zero game, in fact he is creepy and weird and has negative charisma, people find him repulsive and boring"

In terms of the erosion, doesn't wind erosion on raised surfaces behave very similar to how water erosion on shores behaves?

Since both are just fluids brushing up against surfaces, and the fact in the desert the wind will have a lot of silica dust in it, it stands to reason the wind currents around the pyramid would have very similar erosion patterns to water on a shore.

Fluids are fluids, air doesn't behave to dissimilar from the ocean, and wind is not to dissimilar from water currents in terms of the physics.

Silica dust will kick up off the nearby dunes, carry in the wind, but due to its weight it'll be less likely to erode higher elevations. So the tip top of the pyramid is high enough up sand in the wind won't reach it as easily so it erodes way slower.

Much akin to how waves crash on a coastline, water has weight so the higher an elevation is, the less and less sea spray it gets hit by, so it erodes slower.

From my experience the only big changes I'd say I made overtime are:

  1. Font size bumped up

  2. Switched to neovim from visual studio, which took like a year to relearn my entire workflow (100% worth it though)

  3. Switched from multiscreen setup to one single big screen (largely due to #2 above no longer needing a second screen, tmux+harpoon+telescope+fzf goes brrrr)

  4. Switched to a standing desk with a treadmill, because I became able to afford a larger living space where I can fit such a setup.

If I were to do this meme though it'd mostly be #1, there just came a day when I had to pop open my settings and ++ the font size a couple times, that's how I knew I was getting old.

Nowadays it's less of an issue with docker and whatnot.

Just set the image to refresh every night at midnight and if they tried to make manual changes it'll just revert back to its original state at midnight.

Customers don't really get direct access to deployed code now, it's buried under like 4 layers of abstraction on most CDNs now.

Simply deploying to azure already smears multiple layers of access control and RBAC overtop that it's hard enough for me, the dev, to answer the question if "what is actually deployed atm?", let alone for the customer to get in their and meddle.

  1. Called this awhile back, this is why Reddit has such a high evaluation.

  2. Poisoning your data won't do anything but give them more data, do you seriously think reddit servers don't track every edit you make to posts? You'd literally just be providing training data of original human vs poisoned. They'd still have your original post, and they have a copy of everytime you edit it.

  3. Whoever buys reddit will have sole access to one of the larger (I don't think largest though) pools of text training Data on the internet, with full licensed usage of it. I expect someone like Google, FB, MS, OpenAI, etc would pay big $$$ for that.

"But can't people already scrape it?"

  1. Well yes, but it's at best legally dubious in some places

  2. Scraping Data off reddit only gets you current versions of posts (which means you can get poisoned dara, and cant see deleted content), and is extremely slow... if you own the server you have first class access to all posts in a database, including g the originals and diffs of everytime soneone edited a post, and all the deleted posts too.

Think about if you perhaps wanted to train an AI to detect posts that require flagging for moderation, if you scrape reddit data, you can't find deleted posts that got moderated...

But, if you have the raw original data, you 100% would have a list of every post that got deleted by mods and even the mod message on why it was deleted

You surely can see the value of such data, that only owners of reddit are currently privy to atm...

Nope.

That's just how the ad at the top looks and always has, and yes, it plays if you hover over it, they always have, and yes, it expands out if you keep watching it and don't touch anything.

If you use the UI normally the ad doesn't play, the person in that video explicitly played the ad.

Get this clickbait shit outta here. It's literally an ai generated article that stole content off a reddit post as it's "source". Have some standards people.

Solar panels mostly, it's viable but expensive, hope your job pays well!

  1. Fancy brioche buns, not normal burger buns. Brioche is typically the most expensive bread off the shelf.
  2. Fancy veggie burgers, of course they are expensive lol, that's fancy vegan stuff
  3. Don't pretend that is a Danish singular. That's a huge fuckin Danish, that's the equivalent of 4 Danishes easily lol

I hate when people buy fancy bespoke food and are like "why do my gluten free vegan free range burgers cost so much?"

If you want to be vegetarian/vegan, go buy normal vegis, don't complain about your super fancy "takes a bunch of extra work and has very low demand" food being expensive.

It's hard to justify using anything other than JS or if you wanna be fancy, Web Assbly, for the FE.

Any other front end language involves generating Javascript from your language, which inevitably ends up with you making a weird Frankenstein project that mixes the two.

I'd rather just use stuff like Webpack or Vite to compile my JS front-end out of JS (or TS) from the start. It always ends up being a cleaner result.

My backend though can be whatever the fuck I want it to be.

But if you ever think dynamically compiling/transpiling a JS front end on the fly on demand is a good idea, instead of simply just delivering static pre-compiled/transpiled pages, you're part of the problem for why the web is so slow and bloated.

It's wild how crazy of projects people will build that take 3 entire seconds to just deliver a 500kb static form that doesn't even need angular to do anything. They turn a couple hundred kb into several mb for no useful reason, it's wild.

It's possible to reverse engineer data you have forgotten how to read.

It's impossible to read data that you know how to read, but it has become annihilated by time.

The former is far more valuable.

right through when fauci himself was advocating against public mask wearing

It was specifically advocating against people who were stockpiling/hoarding disposable masks, which were in limited supply and needed far more by first responders, doctors, nurses, etc. Hospitals at that time literally were running out of masks.

The CDC recommendation at the time was to use reusable cloth masks, which werent/arent as good most of the time, but way way better than nothing at all.

It was a temporary recommendation as the economy was pivoting to bump up supply to compensate. The US proceeded to enlist a bunch of fabric companies to start producing more masks as fast as possible to compensate, so there was about a 2~3 week period where the public needed to prioritize.

It's unfortunate a lot of people have taken to misquoting this time period as "Dr Fauci said using masks was bad" or such, which is deeply misrepresenting the state of things.

Crazy thought, wild idea, hear me out..

What if people stopped getting their news from Facebook

Only people who are mad are the lazy people who seriously cant be assed to actually read the news and want it spoon fed to them in the form of clickbait headlines shared by anti-vax aunt suzy
