So when you zip some files and then unzip them, some of the bytes are missing? Really?!

msfroh@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation?5·6 months agoI babysat a brother and sister in the early 90s and we played Mousetrap properly after dinner to kill time until bedtime. Worst babysitter ever.
Then I let them stay up past bedtime while we figured out the most cursed modifications/add-ons. Best babysitter ever.
(In truth, I remember that I had talked with the parents beforehand about “stated bedtime” versus “real bedtime”.)
This was my first thought, too.
I started taking antidepressants a few months ago to treat ADHD-related anxiety and depression. (The doctor suggested that I could try ADHD-specific meds, but pointed out that I’m already a relatively successful adult, so clearly I’ve built coping mechanisms over the years.)
I’m surprised by how much more rational I’ve become when dealing with stuff.
I first really noticed it when I was crossing at an intersection and a driver turning right didn’t see me and almost hit me. She slammed on the brakes and waved her hands in a clearly startled and apologetic way. Before the meds I probably would have flipped her the bird and had my heart pounding in my ears for the next half hour as I seethed with anger. Now, my thought was “She made a mistake. I’m fine. She knows she made a mistake and she’ll certainly be more careful next time. It’s okay.”
That’s not to say that I don’t get angry anymore. I just get angry about stuff that matters or where I can change something. It feels a lot healthier.
Standard disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. This is not medical advice. It’s just my anecdotal experience. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting tested for depression and/or anxiety. (I had never thought to before this year, because in my youth I was just called “disorganized”, “lazy”, and “scatterbrained”.)
As a maintainer on an open source project, I assume the sticks are PRs coming in right before code freeze, right? Right?!
msfroh@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Huawei to Pay Out USD10.7 Billion Annul Dividend for 20232·1 year agoInferring doesn’t mean the same thing as implying. They’re kind of complementary, like borrowing versus lending.
The OP may have been implying something, but it looks like you’re inferring something (which may or may not what they’re implying; I don’t care enough to parse that out).
The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!
Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.
The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they’re usually so late game that I haven’t minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
Wow… Indiewire should find someone who reads their own site to proofread their articles.
If you click on Jeff Bezos’s name, it links to other articles mentioning him, like the 2021 article saying that he would step down as CEO of Amazon in 2022, which is what happened. Yet this 2025 article refers to him as “Amazon CEO”.
Sure, he still owns a lot of Amazon stock and nobody knows who Andy Jassy is, but getting facts that that wrong is pretty ridiculous.
