What topic do you LOVE to talk about, but rarely get to?
  • I've thought about something related.

    In one point of view, time traveling to the past can create paradoxes since it alters events after that moment in the past, which could cause you to never time travel to the past after.

    After some thinking, I got the feeling that the fixed-point theorem was connected to this. As long as whatever you do in the past causes you to time travel to the past again and do the same thing in the future, the paradox doesn't happen. What you do when you time travel is like the input, and what you do when you time travel again in the resulting future is like the output.

    When the input and output are the same, everything works out.

    After searching about this on the internet, I saw other people have thought about and discussed this.

    Non-religious emergency responders/medicos of Lemmy, do you believe that something is 'missing' when looking at a corpse?
  • That is why it's better to make robots that don't look too close to humans so it doesn't look so weird.

    Yup, if the robot looks nothing like a real human or it resembles a human perfectly, then everything feels fine. But, in between is where it feels weird.

    Annoyed by Lemmy links not going to your home instance? I just updated LULs, the script that changes all Lemmy links everywhere to your home instance!
  • You can update all userscripts with Tampermonkey. For me, it was in Utilities -> Check for userscript updates.

    TIL about the Migingo island, one of the most densely populated islands in the world. The rocky island has density 65,500/km2
  • The fact that the island being so small is what makes the density so high is what's cool to me.

    How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?
  • In my case I looked at the welcome post of my instance (lemm.ee) when it was still small and could tell it was definitely a good instance to choose.

    How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?
  • You'll probably experience more performance issues if you choose larger instances. On the other hand, it's harder to know how reliable and stable smaller instances are.

    Is not that god damn hard.
  • Basically we had to send the low level commands of an email for it to go through. After doing this I realized something weird. The email gets to say who it is from.

    I remember realizing this and thinking it was weird too when I was reading about SMTP. Specifically, the MAIL FROM command.

    What is your favorite open source software?
  • I was looking to see if someone mentioned Helix. It has good defaults and useful features integrated out of the box.

    Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?
  • So it became ubiquitous because it was ubiquitous.

    Got it.

    Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?
  • They're asking why it became available everywhere.

    Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages.
