Teach a man to program, frustrate him for a lifetime."

Some of us still do that - make the content the most important thing on the page, rather than the chrome and the flash and the bling... -

remember when web site designers worked really hard to cut down the amount of nonsense on the web page so it would spend fewer server, network and client resources, and would load faster? those were the days. that was before surveillance capitalism took hold, I suppose. -

"htyps" is the secure typos protocol. This should have been "https" instead. -

Me too! I've been reading things for radio broadcast, but I have no idea what I'm saying... Concentrating too hard on reading ahead of what I'm speaking so I can do the intonation right... -

funny thing, when I read stuff aloud, it's like DMA, it doesn't go through the CPU, and I can't recall what I've heard. I only retain what I read if I read it quietly -

Even with mass-energy equivalency, it is much easier to change mass into energy than the other way around. But as far as changing an object's *weight* by pressing a button, that should be possible. Weight is dependent on both on the mass and distance separating two (or more) objects, or the acceleration of an object. If pressing the button initiates something to accelerate that object away from another object then its weight will change...
(Note: Pedantic me has not yet watched Eureka, so I don't know how this weight-changing object is used) -

nah, it was entirely fictional AFAIK. Eureka was the fictional city of genius inventors in the series. no amount of internal motors could enable a ball to dynamically change its weight. though mass is energy, in day-to-day life you can most often assume it's conserved, which is why I found it so creative and amusing -

♲ @mbeisen@twitter.com: because of vaccine mandates we’re losing teachers who don’t believe in science, healthcare workers who don’t believe in medicine, and police who don’t believe in public safety…
