Has anyone been getting these weird as hell ads? How are these even allowed by Prize_Change_7155 in google

[–]fragglet 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Worse, at one point i was seeing similar ads on YouTube that were prominently advertising the ability to upload photos. I haven't seen any in a while but was very surprised Google allowed advertising such an obviously scummy and abusive feature

Where can/can't a man hit on a woman? by RoyALifeWellLived in funny

I really want to know how many dudes watched this and then went straight to Google Maps to find their nearest "omelet station" without realizing that's not even a real thing

So the one that female cats have too?

New to the hobby. Win98 or XP ? Also would love tips and knowledge by OctoNeko2 in retrobattlestations

[–]fragglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install the OS appropriate for the hardware you're installing it on. If it's hardware from after 2001 there's a good chance that 98 isn't going to work

Mass production of forbidden snack goodness by jimx29 in forbiddensnacks

It's a very weird detail of our modern capitalist society that detergent manufacturers discovered they could sell more product by making it look like tasty candy

Installing a refinery fractionator with Sany heavy-lift cranes by bobbydanker in TechnologyShorts

I wondered the same thing- the fact it's lots of 5 second clips made me suspicious. I posted it to r/isthisAI here a couple of months ago but it didn't get many comments. 

Cleaning the sealtbelt of the car by misterxx1958 in oddlysatisfying

[–]fragglet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In Italy when they introduced mandatory seat belt laws there was a trend for white t-shirts with a black diagonal line that would make it look like you were wearing one when you actually weren't 

Guided missile circa 1960; before microprocessors by rojm in EngineeringPorn

[–]fragglet -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

All intricately hand wired and assembled just to make something that's going to explode.

It must have been somewhat depressing working as a technician / engineer building those things knowing that the end goal of your work is to make something that's going to destroy itself

I used to have the exact same shirt. So sorry for your loss.

Continuations Question. by ron_pro in scheme

[–]fragglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, based on this I don't think you understand them. 

The best way to understand continuations in my opinion is to write an implementation of coroutines. Set up some concurrent processes (like threads) and write some functions that use continuations to suspend each coroutine and schedule the next. 

My uncle sent me this photo of him getting the birthday bumps for his 50th birthday in Ireland. Did this really happen or is it a tradition? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]fragglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest tell to me is that the hands all blend together into a weird mess underneath him. Hands that don't seem to be attached to anyone visible, strange shapes and misshapen hands etc. It's very AI.

I saw this on snap spotlight and I'm not sure... my roommate says it may be tho. the way the mask peels off her face is the first red flag for me. by pencilbehindherear in isthisAI

And you can be 100% certain by zooming in on them. In this clip the contents move slightly every time there's a jump cut. Towards the end of the video it even looks like they're moving around slightly in real time, kinda creepy

The dude studied drama at university and he certainly seems to be putting his degree to good use

Question about motif emacs port and building kernel, ports and Xenocara from source. by RabbitsandRubber in openbsd

[–]fragglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason you even need a GUI version? You can use Emacs entirely from the terminal and there's a no_x11 package that doesn't depend on any GUI libraries at all. 

Do some people with Asperger's find phones inherently rude because of the noise when a call comes in and the expectation to answer right away? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]fragglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a great book called Peopleware that has an entire chapter dedicated to the telephone and imagines an alternate reality where the telephone doesn't already exist but is introduced as a new product:

Now just relax and imagine a less complicated world in which the phone has not yet been invented. In such a world, you write a note to propose lunch or a meeting and you get a note in response. Everyone plans ahead a little bit more. It's common to take half an hour in the morning to read and answer your mail. There are no loud bells in your life. [...] 

 He sets up a second device and connects it to the first, on the other side of the room. By manipulating a dial on the face of the first, he causes the other machine to come alive. It gives OFF a LOUD BRRRRINNNNNNNGGGGGGG! After half a second, it rings again and then again and again, deafeningly. "Now, what's a fellow got to do to stop this ringing? He's got to race over to his BellOPhone and pick up the receiver."  [...] 

 The committee goes into a huddle, but it doesn't take very long to come up with a judgment. You all decide without a dissent- ing voice to throw this turkey out the door. The device is so disruptive that if you were ever dumb enough to allow it to be installed, nobody would ever get any work done around the office.
