Here's an image I made to show the difference between Robinson and Equal Earth:

Whichever you prefer, what matters is that we should all just stop using Mercator.

The website is literally built with Lovable.dev what are you talking about

> While we are at it, I think Sci Hub is the greatest invention of the modern science

Maybe a while ago it was. It no longer accepts new papers since 2020 and there are much better alternatives available are this point (STC Nexus)

Yeah, that's called diagnosis

> Not every company is publicly traded, so they don’t have shares nor shareholders

They do, they're just not publicly traded. Private companies still have owners and investors.

Doesn't seem true, the Wikipedia page for Emacs only mentions Eugene once as one of the early contributors, not as the creator. The original TECO macros were made by Guy L Steele Jr.

Real programmers use butterflies

I am a student and where I live most student housing has an app to open the door instead of a normal key. My current place used Bluetooth, the previous one was even more inconvenient because it used NFC. It sucks, and if you accidentally forget your phone at home you're fucked, but the landlords do it because it lets them block old tenants from entering without having to switch the locks.

Of course, I don't think anyone in this thread is advocating for banning private transport and only keeping public transit for everything. But most of the trips people take are local, and a good public transport system makes that much better for everyone (including the car drivers).

You can also go around the continent on trains. We should have more high speed rail.

Private transport is of course still hugely useful for many cases, but there are also many cases where it could easily be replaced for many people by a good transit system. And I'm not just talking about the US, which people usually give as an example of bad transit. EU's railway network should be much better.

> Prefer to just leave when I want, go where I want and stay there as long as I want.

Which you can do with a good public transport system! You should not have to wait for a subway train for more than 5 minutes. Ideally no more than 1-2.

Isn't that true? Not being able to live without eating is, in fact, a weakness, just a very common one.

I have `playground/` in my ignore config, that way I can just create a playground directory for any project and do stuff in there

> other junk (CLAUDE.md for example) that shouldn’t be in your repository

How is CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md "junk that shouldn't be in your repository"? If you're using agents for a project and have some project-specific rules for them, why would you want other people using agents in your repository to not have access to those rules and produce worse code?

It seems like the new UI look doesn't have light mode available and the only option to have it is to switch back to the old UI? That's a weird choice.

Ah ok, didn't know it's not all of the EU. Well then the advice about the OpenFoodFacts app still applies.

The EU has a system called Nutri-Score that prints a nutritional rating from A to E on food packages. If you're not in the EU, you can also scan barcodes with the OpenFoodFacts app for the same rating.

It's not perfect by any means and there's many criticisms of its methodology, but it's a very simple formula and serves as a good proxy for "is this food generally healthy"

> I hope it's not too annoying for their community

There's plenty of people like that in the GOS community (the forum and the Matrix). Everyone generally understands that different people have different threat models and may want to do things that aren't the most secure. Otherwise everyone would be using GOS in airplane mode with disabled cameras and only paying for things with Monero.

The core dev team is obviously a bit more security absolutist, but even they usually dont mind

For me it's mostly the big library and Spotify Jam

> the main thing you need for burning man is a van and water

And $1000 tickets :P

A fully equipped van is also not exactly a cheap thing to own or rent.

Haven't went myself either, but I've heard from some people that the smaller Burning Man spin-offs retain more of the original vibe and are often cheaper even when you include costs of travel. A lot of people come to AfrikaBurn from all over the world, for example.

That being said, the very nature of the event involves spending thousands of dollars to live in the desert for a week. So the audience is obviously mostly people who have the money to do so.

> but the old content is nowhere near as it used to be, and Anna's archive is also nowhere near as good either

Not sure what you mean, Anna's Archive includes all of Libgen's content

It's still unrelated AFAIK. From what I remember, the owner refused to sell the domain, and then eventually asked Valve for a huge fee that they refused to pay. So now the domain is just unused.

> I have no idea how people are supposed to be productive with non-semantic rainbow vomit themes that are so popular in modern editors.

That depends on what your use for syntax highlighting is. If you use it to find specific types of code, than yeah, it's probably unhelpful. But for me, the point of syntax highlighting is to just make reading easier by separating different parts of the code with different colors. I have absolutely no idea what each color means in my editor, it just matters that they're different.

> why is it that for the ozone layer we got together and undid the damage but for climate change we don't?

Because it also happened to be profitable for a large company (DuPont), which was also the company largely responsible for the whole ozone layer thing. They lobbied against ozone layer protections while they had a patent on Freon, but as soon as it expired, they came up with a new more expensive alternative and started supporting environmental regulations forcing people to switch to the new one.

Does the account registration date also matter? I have 2110 points and I dont think I have the vouch button

On mobile, Vespucci is the full-featured OSM editor that lets you edit whatever you want. On desktop, JOSM is the main one, though it takes a bit of figuring out.

OsmAnd is not that much slower nowadays since they added the new OpenGL renderer. It is, however, less convenient and pretty. I think OsmAnd really shines for things like hiking, whereas for regular urban navigation CoMaps works just as well.

Why does Kimi insist its name is Claude?

Agree. My vision is not even that bad and yet I literally had to squint and hold my phone very close to be able to read this page.
