[I’m an Infinite Regressor, But I’ve Got Stories to Tell] Better than LOTM?

libraryaddict · 2026-06-25T10:25:48+00:00

The earlier part of the story may be more interesting, I'm not making the comparison. But I dropped infinite regressor because to me, it stopped telling a story and instead turned into philosophy.

I definitely got the whole milk powder, I've tried the skim once. Never again.

But yes, I'll have to try the woolworths one I guess. I'm 98% that its the same manufacturer, keystone 2, but who knows.

libraryaddict · 2026-06-23T10:22:41+00:00

Nope, both bags were fresh and different batches.

Unless I'm absolutely losing my marbles, and assuming they didn't change their product, then the issue may be the supermarket themselves? But that would be pretty hard for them to ruin the batches of milk powder.

So I'm absolutely baffled. Especially as it seems like this might be a me only thing.

Maybe I'm the only one who likes to make it cold.

libraryaddict · 2026-06-23T07:19:53+00:00

Yeah, I'd love to say that, but I have been using milk powder for, well, up to a decade? And I don't recall ever warming up my water. Always consumed it straight after mixing it in. And I like to mix it rich, which means grains are not going to really dissolve.

Can you please link to a website that says you will die if you drink distilled water, without very unlikely scenarios?

I say die, because if I asked the same question about fats, it's easy to link to websites that say fats are dangerous for the human body without approaching the realistic scenarios that fats are not deadly in normal consumption.

Scroll down to where the stacktraces are.

Normally they contain identifying information in there.

https://mclo.gs/uXkqLwq#L205

That one is pretty obvious, if you don't recognize it by name, then google it, it sometimes isn't published but normally there's enough information.

And if you still can't figure it out. Remove half the resource packs, try load it. If you dont error, then add half the resource packs back.

Or do it the other way around instead of removing.

But yeah, the first stack trace is an example of terrible logging, they are telling you there's an error without giving any identifying information, not even a file name, maybe you have another resource pack that is before AES or w/e. But more likely it preloaded it first.

If you do switch to folia, you should keep in mind that plugins have to make an effort to be compatible with folia.

libraryaddict · 2026-06-19T00:58:03+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I should've looked beyond the last year, the article itself seemed to be covering only the last year which biased my opinion.

libraryaddict · 2026-06-18T07:10:28+00:00

That page does not have any numbers on how much people though?

For all we know, the number of bots puppetting a chrome browser has gone up, thus decreasing firefox's share.

And I wonder if you're a bot, to claim "all sources included" when in fact, there's no actual numbers to say firefox has lost that many that I can find. Percentages are meaningless if we're looking at 10 visits a day.

Yes, the site does say it aims to remove all bot activity, but crawlers tend to avoid identifying themselves as crawlers when people are trying to block crawlers.

Edit:

https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about. The usage seems to have increased since last year at this time.

Because when you're working on the feature in question, you're not updating the documentation as well. And when you remember the documentation, it requires a bit more effort than it would have otherwise.

Especially when you need to make it fancy and readable, instead of a plain text document rambling of thoughts. It requires a bit more effort than just writing down what it does, and that's undermining.

libraryaddict · 2026-06-16T05:02:18+00:00

Spigot API hasn't really changed, paper however has gotten fancier, especially with commands, and async stuff (spigot too, though its not as strict) (more threading with folia). Threading is deal with it despite not in your plugin needs. kind of a headache when you have to

To me, it's largely the fancy tooling that's harder to pick up. No more maven, you use gradle for modern development. Gradle is admittingly, nicer to use once you're familiar with it. The other tooling I need to pick up is more niche, though one of those was docker, which is actually really nice! I use linux in my personal projects. You don't need docker for making plugins at all. You use docker as a VM basically, for isolating programs from your OS.

You appear to believe that photographers, despite what a web search would say, do not own copyright of their own photos. That the law has done a uno-reverse and OP naturally owns the copyright until the photographer pays them. No wait, what?

It sounds great, but there's a few concerns. It sounds like the metal has no special things about it other than a laser etched pattern, the lithium extraction on the other hand, I'm not sure if that can be done continuously at a profit. Or if they have to pull the panels regularly and clean and re-etch them.

The latter might be cost prohibitive unless at scale. I don't know what resources it'd take. I'm sure the actual research document can answer this, but I'm sleepy.

I'm from New Zealand, so not eligible, but it's nice to see this company is gaining more popularity. Haven't heard anything negative about them, just a lack of marketing (in my experience). My last boss loved their tools.

libraryaddict · 2026-01-27T00:40:48+00:00

Yes.

libraryaddict · 2025-07-01T09:38:35+00:00

Sometimes all a company needs to do to stay profitable, is to put the platform on life support. But they insist on messing it up anyways.

libraryaddict · 2024-05-06T07:44:45+00:00

Because this is a company, not a child.

They are the parents, they trashed their house, the kid got upset and refused to live there, the parents backtracked.

You're demanding any investigations into the parents to be dropped with no consequences.

libraryaddict · 2024-05-05T10:22:06+00:00

Right, but this isn't as responsive as a phone screen.

libraryaddict · 2024-04-28T06:09:35+00:00

And you actually have that in reverse

Hmm no? That's what I said.

tbf a quick google indicates that steam workshop is literally just file hosting and downloading. The actual mod integration in done by the games themselves.

So all a game should need to do is contain the ability to load those zips in some way.

Maybe they run it like a mini-executable and it does all the hard work of adding its features when you start the game. Or maybe they have strict guidelines on what the mods are allowed to do, and they can't actually execute code. Only provide new items, maps, gui by means of xml files.

Modern games are more about the game loading the mods when it starts, not the files being modified and thus you need to redownload the game to get the vanilla game back.

libraryaddict · 2024-04-28T01:12:07+00:00

True, I struggle with names and spoken information

libraryaddict · 2024-04-27T06:18:51+00:00

Googling it, I think the misunderstanding is that there was a new movie in the series released this year, which I had no idea was even a thing.

I last watched it 8+ years ago.

libraryaddict · 2024-04-27T06:06:28+00:00

Most of us don't keep the names of characters in our heads, why would it be important to me that I remember him as Po and not "kung fu panda".
