On the one hand yes. But, and this is a big but, typically when ships are sunk by the government, a lot of environmental impact studies and decontamination processes are preformed. The goal is usually to create artificial reefs, which is pretty useful because of how much damage we’ve done to the natural habitats.
Does it balance out, or make up for it? I don’t know, I’m not smart enough. But I do know the artificial reef projects are greatly appreciated and highly desired by local governments.
Any amount of bandwidth/data cap saved across 8 billion people is appreciable. Full stop, that’s all I’m saying. If you don’t wanna acknowledge that point there’s really nothing else for us to say here.
I’m not defending webp over png. All of my sites serve both depending on what the browser indicates it supports. It’s zero effort.
Implying that because people with unmetered internet are live-streaming, people on data caps don’t matter is asinine.
I’m not even trying to change your mind on webp I don’t give a shit. But ingesting images on your platform and serving them efficiently is part of writing lean code and you’re just arguing for arguments sake.
Nobody is saying you need to use webp locally. But when you’re talking about the entire fucking world on the internet sharing images, even minuscule savings scales to something appreciative.
Another aspect to consider is, not everyone is privileged with unmetered internet access. Shoving bloated media into peoples’ faces is actively costing real people real money. If you’re operating even a modestly popular site, I feel like you have a moral obligation to ensure it’s as inexpensive to browse as possible.
Not an expert in their discography but just pulled their page up. I find a very close trend between a band shifting towards weird title casing or using symbols to replace the letter O, and their music getting shitty and corporate.
Hell yes! That was the point of my rambling though I never quite got there. I was wondering if curriculums had caught up yet, to at least look at the modern system languages. Sounds like you’re at a good program.
If Rust had been around when I was an underclassman, I would have been totally locked into the full CompSci track. Instead, I got introduced to Java and C (and calculus…) and that looked like a nightmare compared to what I had been playing with in JS/Python land, so I noped on out of there and got a Comp Sci Lite degree.
Years later, I’m just completely in love with Rust.
That’s incorrect.
He and the other guy, who also shows up in I Think You Should Leave, both play the weirdo as well as the straight man in various bits. I don’t think Tim does much outside of his shows and standup. I watched a talk show interview with him one time and it’s freaky how normal he is outside of that context lol
You gave his stuff a shot and you didn’t enjoy it. It’s not for everyone!
Check out Detroiters. That’s the wholesome side of the Tim Robinson Wholesome/Bizarre dichotomy.
I’m as anti “AI” as they come but there’s a master Japanese carpenter on YouTube, Shoyan, who goes through the trouble of translating his commentary to English, someone proofs it because the grammar is usually perfect, and then runs it through a comforting racially ambiguous old man voice from ElevenLabs I think. And honestly? It works really well. It’s obviously not a natural voice but it’s not fake enough to be disorienting or annoying like the early types were.
