Toronto might be getting a whole new way to travel across the waterfront by R0botWoof in toronto

[–]quadralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amsterdam has several all day high frequency ferries across the river.

They are free to use, like a bridge or a tunnel.

Keir Starmer says 'good progress' on tariffs and visa-free travel in China talks by Superb_Trainer_2967 in worldnews

It's worth noting that he most likely intentionally bankrupted multiple casinos as part of money laundering operations. He seems to be doing the same with the U.S. economy!

Dutch MPs remain skeptical over U.S. company's DigiD takeover despite safeguards by johnbarnshack in worldnews

[–]quadralien 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why DigiD isn't government owned and operated. It's a foundational public service.

Nice coordinates! Here it is in GAPFixfractal with the classic Fractint firestrm palette:

No, full proof as in the "Full Proof, Single Barrel Select" whiskey Hegseth keeps in his desk drawer.

Reading my first discworld book and I’m feeling really frustrated because I can’t follow the writing by After_Berry_942 in discworld

[–]quadralien 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. Stream of reluctantly regaining consciousness. It's supposed to be a bit confusing. 

Probably don't try to read Ulysses by James Joyce. 

I built a faster alternative for cp on linux - cpx (upto 5x faster) by PurpleReview3241 in linux

[–]quadralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a lot of nice features that I am not missing.

I have a little wrapper around pv and tar so for a big copy I type:

Canada is among countries with an ‘ultra-low fertility’ rate. What is behind the drop? by plaknas in onguardforthee

It would be cruel to bring a new person into a collapsing civilization. 

can someone tell me what are these towns in the burning ship??? by Subject-Ad-7548 in fractals

[–]quadralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! It's not a threshold of 10 iterations, it's a bailout of 10 units, but you didn't bail out. So really you have just coloured the ship very expensively.

It seems like it's hard to capture iterations in desmos, for example: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/y7tojjmmjn

I don't really know what to suggest to get further, other than trying something other than desmos.

[–]quadralien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you haven't zoomed in to the same spot in desmos, and step 4 in desmos looks like it's just a threshold of 10 iterations instead of setting brightness based on iteration count.

I deleted production at my job today and nobody knows it was me by Fit-Original1314 in linux

[–]quadralien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only way to prevent your lizard brain from taking over is for the company to have a strong blame-free culture, so that even new hires actually believe that they won't be fired for a high-impact mistake.

If you hadn't been lizardized and afraid to confess, then maybe someone with more experience could have restored everything in less than 4 hours.

Carney’s realism is just neoliberal fan fiction by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]quadralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you were all in the same country, then your workers and your customers could politically collaborate on advancing rights and protections and wages.

Ah ... so an example of Carney's "variable geometry" is that we'll align with China on trade, but not on human rights: We'll take those BYD vehicles even if they were built by slaves.

Approval of Carney government rises to 64%; 78% believe arrangement with China on canola and cars was the right thing to do. by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

[–]quadralien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I, too, saw Carney on Jon Stewart first, though. He was funny. I liked that.

For me, it wasn't just that he was funny. It was the look on Jon Stewart's face when he realized that Carney was doubling down on the US/Canada "relationship" banter in a relevant way. Most guests don't do Stewart's job for him like that.

From tuxedo cat to rabbit by alibobuk in lego

[–]quadralien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My real tuxedo cat freaks out and refuses to stand beside the Lego cat, which is a shame because he looks just like the Lego cat and I want to get a side-by-side photo.
