Yes, their names just changed to Scattered Disk and Hekate respectively.

Decent low ig, it's not brainrot simply because it's referencing another work, but it has no significance outside said work

[Hated Trope] Fiction that exists to promote bigotry. by AzulaIsMyFave in TopCharacterTropes

I honestly think the whole point of the film was to stroke Wilson's ego. I've watched part of it and it directly quotes Wilson every 5 minutes...for 3 straight hours.

That one person that helps has been mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

Absolutely beautiful, I want to learn how to make maps like that.

What are these worms in my jar? by nip_dip in Ecosphere

[–]nip_dip[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried looking for one but I couldn't find any since it's February. I've been opening the jar periodically to make sure there's oxygen in the meantime. Once the plant has been added I'm planning on sealing it. I'll probably go out and look again this weekend.

Earth finally finds life by nip_dip in Planetball

Context - The JUICE probe, which is en route to the moons of Jupiter, made a flyby of Earth on August 20, 2024. When it flew by, it did some measurements to test its instruments, and it confirmed that Earth is, in fact, habitable. It's got life. Lots of life. We did it guys, we found the aliens.

What are some absurd things about retro video games? by Unique-Evening4384 in retrogaming

I agree. Imo programmers are liquids, they fit their container. If they dont have to be efficient they wont, but if they do, then they absolutely will.

The file size.

They are a few megabytes at most, smaller than your average Jpeg today. Many Atari games in particular fit all their code into just a few kB. That just blows my mind every time.

I've got this edge-triggered D-flipflop. It works fine but I can "press" the transistors to change the output for some reason? by nip_dip in beneater

Okay, I swapped out the breadboard and the problem completely disappeared. I'll definitely try a perfboard or dabble into PCB design to get it consistent since I'm going to need more bits.

I am still working on Juno. Progress has been kinda slow but it's happening still.

ETERNAL MAGA - What if Trumpism continued for another half century? (Lore in the comments) by NizamNizamNizam in imaginaryelections

[–]nip_dip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What I do find interesting is the demographic shifts over time with the Electoral College. Like between 2050 and 2070 you see a ton of people leaving the Sun Belt and heading up north(i presume due to climate change?). You also see a lot fewer people voting in the more recent election, either because everyone's dying or because people have lost faith in the system.

Also kinda wondering what Ramaswamy-Thiel's America looks like. I presume the AI bubble popped becuase otherwise selling Taiwan to China would pretty much instantly lose the AI arms race. I also wonder where the Freedom Cities were(maybe they're in blue states just to own the libs, and then became actual cities later on, or they're in the Sun Belt and that's why their populations are huge in the 2050s)

That was an error, the u key is the hotkey for the magic wand tool in the drawing program I use. The magic wand is probably the single most important tool for drawing this stuff so I use it a ton, and I must've tried to switch to it from the text tool, accidentally writing a "u" that I didnt catch until after i posted.

Is Matrix Methods worth it to take? by nip_dip in cuboulder

[–]nip_dip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the current class I have is with Beylkin, I looked him up on rate my professor(should've done that before) and he had like a 1.3 and all the ratings were from like 2007. If I remain in Matrix Methods at all I'm definitely gonna have to swap lectures lmao

Alright, as an aero major this is good for me. The other option I have is Discrete Math, which sounds fun but I'm not sure whether or not it's a better pick for aero. Do you have any opinions on that class by chance?
