  • To be fair, if you DO find yourself in this moral dilemma you’re a shit driver. People don’t just teleport into the middle of a crosswalk. If you’re going at such a speed to where a granny can make it 3/4rds across the crosswalk but you’re going too fast to stop… you’re going too fast period.




  • Unless you’re hanging a CRT you really don’t need to bother screwing into the studs. Get the right type of plug and you can hang some pretty absurd weights from drywall, especially if most of the force is straight down like it would be with a tv mount. I really like the screw-in type plug. Easy to install, no possibility of the toggle not toggling or whatever.

    If you want to mount one of those extendo-mounts I’d probably bother to screw it into the studs though, to be fair.










  • There’s no firm delineation between scripting or programming. In many cases it boils down to “scripting is when you program in a language I deem lesser” which is just rude.

    Coding is just the old timey word for encoding. I.E. basically doing what an assembler would do automatically these days. Any programming language in common use involves much more than that and deserves to be called programming.



  • Honestly I’ve never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there’s a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!
