Wait is she just pumping King's magic with every glyph? Damn poor guy must be exhausted lol
But there's no "biological" reason for that. In the same way, skirts/dresses being for women and suits/ties being for men, leg hair, haircuts, voice, mannerisms, emotional availability, all get tied one gender or another.
We, in our society, have associated some properties to one of two genders. Some of these properties tend to be associated to one sex (sex being a more "biological" thing (but still not binary or unchangeable!)), but many of them are just expectations we put upon people. This is what "gender is a social construct" means; that the general understanding and intuition about gender is constructed by the society in which we live. Different societies may have more than 2 genders or completely different sets of associations.
Unfortunately these categorizations are bad for a significant portion of the population, including trans people, gender non-confirming people, but even cishet people; how many times have you heard of some act making you "not a real man" (eg crying for a movie)?
So like... is she not gonna question the horn? Girl's got her priorities in some kind of way if she falls in love with the first guy she sees (who also has a horn) after waking up in an unknown location
You look great sis! Those glasses and that hair really suit you <3 I love how you have exactly the same smile in every photo lol
.... The root of the thread you're replying's main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.
Yeah fair enough, I didn't mean to contradict you, more add on to your comment
I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]
On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]
Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.
No, but since Canada can regulate/limit the oil and gas it exports, this is still a useful number.
Imports also need to be counted.
Unfortunately climate change is every country's responsibility to fix, since every bit helps.
"Well and truly over two decades" is definitely true...
Exxon had a report in the 80s talking about a 1°C rise in "40 years" ie literally right now
Ahh, that makes sense. Powers of two are real convenient. Your math is a little wrong though: X != (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8), but X = (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8) << 8
The right half can be removed entirely if you're doing modulo 16, since the first 4 bits will always be 0. So it simply becomes X & 15! Much cleaner for sure.
Would you happen to remember what the optimization was, mathematically?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20036698/subdivide-a-modulo-function-16-bit-but-can-only-do-8-bits-at-a-time#20036828 seems to say that it's "impossible afaik", and I can't seem to optimize it myself (though this kind of math isn't my forte)
I'm not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.

[2023 Day 23 Part 2] A visualization of the final path
Spoilers and explanation of solution:
Each vertex here is one intersection in our hike. We don't actually care about the parts in-between, because there's only one way to go. The above is a visualisation of the final path, the red edges are the edges taken. Our graph looks "like that" because it's a hiking trail, not a maze, so there's no dead ends. This took about 2 seconds to generate, due to all the cloning needed to keep track of paths. The two veeery long edges on the ends are pretty obvious choices, but one might notice that pretty much every vertex takes the two maximum paths it has, given the restrictions of the path. There's still some mildly surprising paths, such as (99, 29) -> (89, 37) with a weight of 38. I'm wondering if there's a way to dismiss more paths... This graph is actually pretty free in terms of movement.
My actual solution takes ~150 ms to run (and 8 microseconds for part one with barely any optimization, damnn)
[2023 Day 17] [Rust] Optimizing day 17 (spoilers)
Anybody got some ideas to optimize today? I've got it down to 65ms (total) on my desktop, using A* with a visitation map. Each cell in the visitation map contains (in part 2) 16 entries; 4 per direction of movement, 1 for each level of straightaway. In part 2, I use a map with 11 entries per direction.
Optimizations I've implemented:
- use a 2D array instead of a hashset/map. No idea how much this saves, I did it in the first place.
- the minimum distance for a specific cell's direction + combo applies for higher combo levels as well for part 1. For part 2, if the current combo is greater than 4, we do the same*. Gains about 70(!!) ms
- A* heuristic weighting optimization, a weight of about 1% with a manhattan distance heuristic seems to gain about 15 ms (might be my input only tho)
*Correctness-wise: the reason we're splitting by direction is because there's a difference between being at a cell going up with a 3 combo but a really short path, and going right with a 0 combo but a long path. However, this is fine because a 3 combo in the same direction as a 0 combo is identical, just more restrictive.
Optimizations that could be done but I need to ensure correctness:
the same optimization for the combo, but for directions. If I'm on a specific combo+direction, does that imply something about the distance for another direction? Simply doing the same for every non-opposite direction isn't correct

Warning: quite ugly, there's like 8 copy-pastes for adding to the queue
Measuring performance in a hardware-agnostic way
Is there a way to measure performance without depending on the hardware, i.e. two entirely different computers get the same score for the same code?
I could probably run the program on a server or something, but something local feels more reliable.
Server box just died, recommendations for a new one?
My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it's plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?
I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.
Server maybe? causing "suspicious activity detected" message on android
So, I live with my parents, and I recently (a few months, but I've been using it a lot more the past few weeks) set up a personal home server on an intel NUC I got secondhand (which I wiped and all). We have 2 routers/access points (idk the terminology; two boxes with antennas that we can connect to, both for the same network, one of which is connected to the house internet and the other connected to the first via a 5 GHz connection iirc). My server is connected via ethernet to the secondary AP.
Anyway, my parents have been complaining about my server maybe causing issues with the internet. We've been having issues forever, but this is "new issues", and I can't actually guarantee it's not because of it so I kinda have to look into it. The symptoms are:
- General connection issues (these I'm pretty sure are not any different)
- On one phone, "suspicious activity detected" when connected to the network, automatically disconnecting the phone (this does seem actually new, and potentially actually caused by it)
- On one laptop, refusing to connect/disconnecting automatically.
The most recent significant change to the setup was connecting my server to cloudflare/with a domain name instead of accessing raw ports with a tailscale IP. The setup is:
- Docker containers for everything
- Traefik reverse proxy
- Cloudflare tunnels for each service (IP is dynamic and we're behind a NAT, so this was easiest)
- Only non-login-required service is nginx serving a few kB of plain HTML/CSS.
Because I'm using cloudflare tunnels my external IP has, as far as I know, never been exposed and has never been in DNS.
Could any of this cause these issues, particularly the android warning? If so, is there a fix? If not, what could be causing that?
is it better to use subdomains or paths?
I have a few selfhosted services, but I'm slowly adding more. Currently, they're all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn't put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?
Should I be able to create this post?
According to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/72658 I shouldn't be able to post but if you can see this...
Admin appreciation post :)
I just want to say that the admins here are great and deserve appreciation, especially during this whole kerfuffle with Reddit :)
Have a good one, mods and admins!
