This is a great read. Those of you who only read the title or skim the first few paragraphs - I recommend you actually read through it all because there's loads of great parts in there like how she turned down an Elvis Presley cover.

Afraid I don't know, but please post the answer here if you do (particularly if you get the answer from somewhere un-indexable like Matrix).

I hadn't noticed how old this was, I wonder if they still have the same policy.

Haver you looked into the Oklch color space? Using them would make your e.g. darkness functions perceptually smoother, and supporting them as input values will make designers happy.

It looks interesting. While the compiler is written in Rust (a RRIR from Erlang), the code itself runs on the Erlang VM or on JS. Unfortunately, you can't do hot code reloading and I'm curious what/if you have to sacrifice to run on JS.

Their cheatsheet for Rust users might be of interest to others.

I hope the Orville manages to get a fourth season, that often felt like the most Trek of all of what was airing.

For me, the level of fan service and nostalgia was almost uncomfortable - we've got Lower Decks for that kind of stuff!

He's also got a credit as appearing as himself in archive footage, which seems a little unlikely, in The UnXplained with William Shatner of all things.

You might want to know about this handy site: https://imgops.com/

The various reverse lookup services all seem to be strongest in different areas, but generally I start with tineye and Yandex and only try the others if I don't find what I need.

I think of a lurker as someone who doesn't post - I guess your definition is someone who doesn't interact at all (besides making an account and subscribing, I assume). But yes, I mean users who only vote are now counted (it's not using views afaik).

I assume this latest bump is due to lemmy.world updating and now counting lurkers when assessing active users.

the video you mentioned, which everyone reading this should watch when it makes it over to Youtube

Ah, I'd looked to see if it had the First icon before mentioning it but it looks like he never uses the tags. For others, we're talking about How Fish Survive Hydro Turbines on Nebula (you can watch without an account).

Anyway, thanks for the other video, I'll watch it soon. It makes sense that sediment is a trickier problem than fish since, unlike fish, sediment isn't actively trying to get anywhere. When I first posted, I was imagining something like a conveyor belt, or perhaps pipes (either without turbines or ones pushing downstream) low down on the dam.
