  • CAPTCHA: Bot vs. Human. Bot wins.

    Jump

  • Well, apparently, statistically speaking he is more likely to be human according to the original post. We'll never know.

  • Java

  • AFAIK most typed languages have this behaviour.

  • Favorite Terminal Emulator

    Jump

  • I always liked Terminator because of the easy splitscreening.

  • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm glad that some series (Pixel AFAIK) are now releasing slightly smaller phones, because the growth was getting ridiculous and highly impractical.

  • Let's just design every website using a table again. Or even better, frames!

  • 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix | Qualifying Session

    Jump

  • I'm so happy that McLaren is keeping form. In the F1TV commentary they said that they (McLaren) were not expecting much from the Hungaroring, but Norris made it into third with Piastri keeping up in fourth!

  • 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix | Qualifying Session

    Jump

  • Yeah, let's hope Ricciardo keeps on improving once he gets to know the car more!

  • Creating a password in 2023 be like

    Jump

  • Way too often I've had websites complain that the input password is too complex, and I have to dial down the settings.

  • Australia baffled as unidentified mystery object washes up on beach

    Jump

  • Many "space" fuel tanks have inflatable bladders inside to control the pressure and location of the fuel, especially in zero-g. Otherwise, the fuel could float away from your tank valve. It is possible that this tank has a fully or partially inflated bladder, making it much more buoyient.

    Jump

  • I'm 100 percent certain that this is a spacecraft or launcher fuel tank. I've worked on reentry analyses of spacecraft fuel tanks before, and I can tell you that these very commonly survive re-entry for several reasons.

    Firstly, they are by far the largest components housed inside the vehicle's outer structure. The structure usually takes the brunt of the aerodynamic and thermal forces, protecting the tank from the largest destruction.

    Secondly, the tank itself has to handle the huge fuel pressures involved (easily going towards many hundreds of atmosphere pressures!). This obviously means that incredibly tough materials have to be used.

    Thirdly and finally, as can be seen in the pictures, their shape is symmetric, making the shape aerodynamically very unstable. This means the fuel tank has the tendency to tumble in the airstream. The tumbling continuously causes different parts of the tank to be exposed to the heat and other parts to cool down.

    Fuel tanks are the major risk during reentry to people and other stuff on the ground, perhaps together with the massive engine blocks. To minimise the chances of hitting someone or something, re-entries are nearly always aimed at the Pacific Ocean, hence them being more likely to wash ashore in Australia.

  • Ruffle: Open source Flash Player emulator written in Rust

    Jump

  • Thanks for your explanation!

    Jump

  • As Flash was known for it having more holes than a Swiss cheese, how is Ruffle in terms of security?

  • A bold claim by Bostic, this adhesive works even lower than absolute zero

    Jump

  • Things will definitely not move then.

  • Cache builds up quickly

    Jump

  • 1.7 GB here on Android after about a week of using the app.

  • What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?

    Jump

  • If I remember correctly, dark roast was also originally devised to hide bad-quality coffee beans. Nowadays it is often implied that darker roasts are better, which actually isn't necessarily the case.

  • Radio messages to Hamilton were needed to "calm things down" - Wolff · RaceFans

    Jump

  • The DTS producers are probably already creating a full episode out of that one radio message.

  • [HN] Lemmy now has over 2M users across 915 instances

    Jump

  • I think most of the bots at the moment don't have any real purpose other than showing that it is possible to create so many bots. Gathering from posts on the subject and the modlog, many bots have far from a natural name in the form of [random word][long number]. I suspect many of these hots have been created by the same person and/or script.

    It will be a matter of time though before real problems start occuring if the sign up process does not become more secure. Fortunately, several pull requests exist for this at the Lemmy GitHub.

  • For AMD GPU owners, AMD Chill is a nice way to limit GPU usage during the cruise

    Jump

  • This is also a good thing to set under global settings. Limiting the FPS to e.g. 60 prevents the GPU from cooking itself when a e.g. a GUI does not limit FPS.

    Hype Performance Group Suspends Sales of 747 Supertanker

  • NSFW

    /r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks]

    Jump

  • What I realised to maybe as equally damaging is if all the original NSFW subs started allowing only SFW content. This would drive the fairly isolated but big userbase of those subs away.
