We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source

What does “zoomed in to check which colour they re-used in the second chart so didn’t even realise there was a third one” count as?

Isn’t every video game just moving colourful blocks?

I’m not sure that this link really helps your case, given these key points from the description:

The resolution by the British representative, Ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons

demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities between Argentina and the United Kingdom and a complete withdrawal by Argentine forces

Resolution 502 was in the United Kingdom’s favour by giving it the option to invoke Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and to claim the right of self-defence

Thanks for the fast action!

lemmy just doesnt show accurate numbers in local instances

Ah, I actually knew that but didn’t think of it when I was comparing them.

Thanks for the offer, I’ll catch up with you once I see what happens with this request.

I’ve been posting my solutions to last year’s challenge in the community, so skimming through those will give you a sense of the balance of fun and frustration.

There is a similar community on the programming.dev instance too but it has fewer subscribers and even less activity as is the way with far too many communities after the big wave died down.

That’s such a great description of this kind of tech-bro behaviour.

“Hey baby, are you a compelling new novel? Because I’d love to lose myself in your sheets. Like sheets of paper, you know, pages. I’m sorry, I’ll leave now.”

True. I’m certainly at the point where quick jobs that I would have once done in Python quite often get done in Dart instead, avoiding the “context switch” of having to think in Python for that one task.

Yes, when I did a search, I found I had a choice between two quite small and inactive communities, so I went for the slightly larger one. I’ll crosspost today’s post to that community see if it stirs up any more interest.

Yes, I really adopted it due to Flutter, but the dev team really are doing great work to make it a nice language, especially with version 3.

Oof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

Go into your account settings (in Liftoff or the website) and switch “Show NSFW content” off. That will totally stop any NSFW-marked content from appearing in your feed

From reviewing the code it removes the transition animation when you click on an image to view it full screen (saving you 0.2 of a second). I think it was added when that animation wasn’t working correctly. Maybe it’s time to repurpose it now we’re actually seeing gifs being used a little more…

Yes, we’re still evolving the UI, so we can keep this in mind.

Yes, it’s still going through Apple’s review process unfortunately…

You should see previews in more posts in 0.10.10. If you reply with any examples that still aren’t working for you, we can have a look.
