Rallen89··on The miracle of PowerToys, Microsoft's last great Windows app
Keep this stuff on the download, if the win execs find out about this it'll have a subscription tier next week
Rallen89··on Medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are fiction
I think it's a bit different considering the goal was a teaching tool of well recognised conditions

>all or almost all were cases of very well recognized conditions [...] where a single case report would not generate any interest or ever be cited.

Rallen89··on McDonald's posts biggest US sales drop since 2020
I think this talk of a boycott is ignoring the "new" appointment of a CEO in 2019 which has been posting impressive year on year profit % increase, I think this growth ie catching up to them rather than talk of boycott
Rallen89··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
Seems very dubious, new accounts in the comments urging people to download it ( u/Sonnigeszeug) all the 'sources' go back to the same file, claims it is on torrent trackers yet providing no evidence for? A very sensational article with no proof and if it was true downloading russian government data with no idea whats in it? the sweetest of honey right here
Rallen89··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
Seems very odd an ai account?* is posting a seemingly unknown 'news' site to a very large unverified file that didn't seem to pass the desk of any major news org and all the 'sources' of this leak come from the same mediafire link, not even a torrent?

*account details looks odd, copy and pasting ai summary of article

Rallen89··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
10 TB file from a random website that I have never heard of? Seems like if someone was to leak this a more reputable news agency would have been notified instead of... trendsnewsline
Rallen89··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
Any validity besides one news article? seems to be getting the hug of death atm.
Rallen89··on Celestial Navigation for Drones
I guess once you have the permits it doesnt matter. With the nilered vids, they were more of the more hypergolic variety
Rallen89··on Celestial Navigation for Drones
Happened to codyslab, videos taken down now (but still on archive.org) of a uranium purification process and possibly nilered,no way to prove it but he had a 'making rocket fuels: part 1' that was never followed p on. Not totally sure though as people like BPS space on yt have some pretty in depth tutorials on solid rocket motors (does explicitly censor how to make the ignition component)
Rallen89··on Dramatic drop in marijuana use among U.S. youth over a decade
A thing I dont see alot of people talking about here is the increase in strength over time. For first time users who experience a more 'modern' weed strain that will mess you up if you dont have a tolerance, I dont think they would try it again soon.
Rallen89··on 'Islands' of regularity discovered in the famously chaotic three-body problem
Off topic buying haven't seen a bit of code in Wikipedia to run to see a visualisation before
Rallen89··on How we get high: our bodies are perfectly primed for consuming cannabis
>rewilding What does this mean in your context
Rallen89··on Only 3.5% of all mobile apps reach $10k monthly
just seems like a waste to lose both developing markets and an already developed high income market to averaging a huge region of different income levels
Rallen89··on Only 3.5% of all mobile apps reach $10k monthly
Is there a reason for the categorisation of the EMEA[0] region? seems too broad to make actionable conclusions, I'd assume the LTV of a western European would be different then someone in South Sudan.

Rallen89··on My favourite animation trick: exponential smoothing (2023)
Doesn't load with mobile browser bur if you change to 'desktop site' option it loads... but is very jittery and loads slow, a few visual bugs aswell.
Rallen89··on Disney's newest robot demonstrates collaborative cuteness
Not directly related but Disney has a YouTube channel that irregularly posts interesting developments in animation and human tracking. (for animation hopefully)

Rallen89··on Receiving weather satellite images using SatDump
Yeah, I've done it, built my own antenna and the whole receiving, the Meteor-M2 was in the same wavelength range and could be received but got hit my a meteorite January of last year
Rallen89··on Receiving weather satellite images using SatDump
For EU people, this is a US geostationary satellite so no luck there, We have meteosat but its encrypted and have to pay a fee to use :( , even the russian (non geostationary meteor series) can be accessed freely.
Rallen89··on Kayak's new flight filter allows you to exclude aircraft models
So what are you basing it on if not deaths/flight hours
Rallen89··on Citing "crew safety," NASA delays upcoming Artemis missions by about a year
After watching that smartereveryday/destin video on the practicality of the artemis Misson, from the in orbit cytogenetic fuel transfer (which has never been done before) to the 8+ rockets they need to launch for 1 Misson, I see it being delayed a couple more times before it gets off the ground.
Rallen89··on Hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job
>'d guess that the more academic the education is, the more likely you fall into that pattern.

of treating the most comments stuff and being lost? Would have thought the opposite, no, or am I misunderstanding

Rallen89··on Halfsies
There is a good amount of gratuitous rounding tbf +-5% at least
Rallen89··on NASA just sent a software update to a spacecraft 12B miles away
Sure if u have a 70 meter dish laying around and this is near peak cold War tensions so I'd say security was on people's minds then.

>Because of their distances, the Voyagers can only communicate through the largest 230-foot (70-meter) dish antennas in NASA's Deep Space Network, or by arraying multiple smaller antennas together to detect the faint signals coming from the spacecraft

Rallen89··on First word discovered in unopened Herculaneum scroll by CS student
>Shortly after that, another contestant, Youssef Nader, independently discovered the same word in the same area, with even clearer results — winning the second place prize of $10,000.

That's what u get for optimising your code

Rallen89··on Linux Foundation is sending takedowns to Redbubble for generic Unix terms
Are you the Mastodon ambassador? I don't think it's a good idea for social media to work across platforms is to pretty please ask nicely to accommodate them.
Rallen89··on Releasing an indie game on 3 consoles at once and failing financially (2016)
Yeah, they spent a good chunk talking about a distinctive art-style of games they liked but the game looks derivative of so many 2d platformers
Rallen89··on FTC bars GoodRx from sharing consumers’ sensitive health info for advertising
They do, in some circumstances, in places like America, the ability to use lethal force in response to particular actions.
Rallen89··on Amazon employees are fighting on Slack about returning to the office
Allows what exactly? Communication? Or user created groups? seems like you have a problem with the human condition not slack.
Rallen89··on Automated data analysis for the prevention of criminal acts is unconstitutional
There has to be a poe's law equivalent for gender issues at this point, if the article is anyway political someone's gonna mention it because uhh they gotta be mad at someone
