@SorteKanin

This also explains why evaporation cools down (like when you sweat): the molecules with the highest temperature are the ones evaporating, so the average temperature decreases as those high-temperature molecules leave the system. Only the relatively colder molecules are left behind - thus it cools as a whole.

The main principle at work here is the enthalpy of vaporization. When matter changes state, there is an associated amount of energy that is absorbed or released - in the case of vaporization, energy must be absorbed. So when sweat forms on your skin and evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from your body in order to undergo that state change.

For water, the energy involved here is remarkably high, much higher than the energy stored by a few degrees difference in temperature. For example, if you wanted to boil off 1kg of water, it would take about 300 kJ to bring the temperature up to boiling from room temperature and over 2000 kJ to boil it all into steam.

@UrLogicFails Mine go on a corkboard that I hang on the wall. It makes for nice decoration, and I get to admire them whenever I walk past!

A subset of my pins end up on my lanyard when I go to meets/conventions. I have favorites, but I usually rotate between some depending on my mood and what I got recently.

@fossilesque Don't forget those of us in the back row because we slept in and got there late!

@P4ulin_Kbana @potentiallynotfelix fw = fuck with. It means they like it.

@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that I'm nostalgic for.

@snow_bunny Nah, it was Sonos. Which, I guess the app ecosystem is their whole thing - but I didn't know that at the time. I just wanted a basic sound bar, and the reviews didn't really mention that all that extra fluff was mandatory.

In retrospect Sonos sucks for a lot of other reasons too, so I guess it was a bullet dodged.

@SPAUZPiMP @scarabic Oh wow, did he literally say "irreducible complexity?" That is SO blatant lol.

@theangriestbird

“Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?”

It's so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.

@wizardbeard Oh yeah, totally - it's not like the 1% doesn't use these things to its advantage. Don't take my comment as making the mistake of ignoring that. It's just myopic at best to act like other forms of oppression can be ignored as long as we ensure economic liberation. And a lot of the people spouting that opinion... well, there's a reason they think bigotry isn't a problem - they suck.

@WoahWoah Not to be the obnoxious didact in the room but I do feel compelled to point out that vegetables/herbs soaked in oil at room temp are generally not a good idea unless you like botulism poisoning: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/herbs-vegetables-oil-sp-50-701

Just for anyone who's not aware! Honestly, immediately shitting yourself was not even close to the worst possible outcome lol.

@kid TL;DR: If you have a secret variable in your CI/CD pipeline and it's written to a file that subsequently gets artifacted, anyone who can access that artifact can also read your secret variable.

Feels like a "no shit" moment but I guess I can see how someone could make this mistake in a more complicated setup than the example in the blog.

@agressivelyPassive @technom That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don't need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren't strictly necessary, but they're very useful for managing that history.
