I'm 29 and today was the first time I realized that because lemon is slang for something bad or defective, the phrase "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a pun

Crazy, today Wikipedia briefly had to go read-only because of a cross site scripting worm (like a virus but it spreads through a web browser between web pages)
It spread itself secretly until it infected admin accounts and then deleted random pages as that admin
Seems like they fixed it but jeez
A screenshot from Jurassic Park, showing Dennis nedry in a jeep with a small dog sized dilophosaurus next to him, with a large neck display stretched out for intimidation
An artistic depiction of an adult dilophosaurus next to an adult man for scale. The dilophosaurus has a length of 6 meters
TIL that dilophosaurus ( the dog sized venom spitting dinosaur in Jurassic Park) was actually 20 feet long
They made the raptors way too big, and the dilophosaurus way too small
This fella was probably freaking scary
It has both automatic noise reduction tools, as well as super nice manual tools where you can "paint out" specific sounds almost like photoshoping a picture
Once I had to remove bird chirps in the background and I could see the individual chirp sounds and go through and just paint them out
It's has a bunch more stuff than just this, but the key features that people buy it for are related to noise reduction in audio
If your audio has a lot of background noise, like if the good microphone died and you had to use the bad built in audio from a camera, you could use RX to fix it
Izoptope rx is one of the most incredible pieces of software and at the same time whenever you need to pull it out you're probably having the worst day of your career
Definitely figurative for me, just that sleep deprivation fuzziness
Having a baby is incredible and magic and hearing her laugh heals my soul
but also my smart watch says I'm stressed out and in fight or flight mode and my body always feels like it's vibrating
so
Same but with film school
My serious prediction is that we'll need some sort of trust network system so open source code projects can allow only verified humans with good intentions to contribute, but that system will also have a lot of problems and shut a lot of people out
Last week a bot had a pull request rejected, and then automatically published a blog post insulting that person and saying they were discriminating. Eventually people convinced the bot why it was wrong and it took down the post and wrote an apology post
We live in absolutely wild times
We need better laws on AI agent use
Tons of important open source software is struggling because AI is spamming them and it's hard to review so much code
If it keeps going I won't be surprised if all of these projects go private or invite only as a defense mechanism, and that'll be really sad
Genius
Google images search for spinosaurus mirabilis, a large two legged dinosaur with a big sail on its back, and an unusual horn on its forehead
๐จ NEW SPECIES OF SPINOSAURUS ๐จ
IT HAS A UNICORN HORN EVERYBODY
I was beetlejuiced
The word came from a Far Side comic as a joke but paleontologists loved it so much they officially named it that
Nah stegosaurus has a thagomizer
No other dinosaurs have a thagomizer
Screenshot of the Google search results for concavenator, showing a two legged dinosaur with a weird spike on its back
Concavenator is one of the coolest dinosaur names
Birds being dinosaurs already hard enough to deal with, I never have the energy to tell people that birds are also reptiles
Some dinosaurs like parrots can even talk and dance with us
I played Jurassic World Evolution which is a dino park tycoon game, but not "Dino Park Tycoon"
I think about her every time I hit the hookah
How could I have missed this one
Thanks everyone, it is chilly in here
Keep skeeting
My computer's fan is being louder than normal and I can only assume that's because of p4a and so much more activity than normal on the Nerdfighteria Feed
Rubberband man (not sure if this is about somebody dancing or playing an instrument or both)
