Sure, go ahead.

But we can’t see planet surfaces yet. The most we have achieved is seeing a dark smudge in front of a light smudge.

Most planets are detected either by the star wobbling a little due to the planet pulling on it through gravity. Think a light smudge going a pixel to the left and then a pixel to the right.

Or by detecting a star getting slightly darker when a planet passes in front of it. This lets us guess the composition of the atmosphere when we filter the star light through a prisma and analyse which wavelengths of light we have a smidgen less of.

It’s amazing what we can do. But we’re still a far way away from actually seeing extrasolar planets.

I think this is plausible. The only problem is finding the inhabited planet to look at. But the telescope itself is kind of already in the heads of people. We would send one or probably several spacecraft into the far reaches of our solar system and use the sun as a massive gravitational lense.

It would just take ages to get a new target into focus.

Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur’s Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur’s Gate 3 you create a Baldur’s Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers’ tits mod, which shall get its own group.

Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.

!chronicillness@lemmy.world or more specifically (for me at least) !myalgicencephalomyelitis@lemmy.blahaj.zone.

And when I tried to ask for information on some treatment it even earned me a downvote. Probably by someone sorting by scaled and not wanting that in their feed or so.

In Germany for some inane reason the only way to get an uncensored Planet Terror with the helicopter chopping up zombies (and several other scenes, like Tarantino’s balls rotting off) is by renting it. Good luck finding a video rental place nowadays.

You don’t get it by buying the “uncensored” version. I was lucky that my first time watching the movie was as a rental.

Ugh, that version is so bad. You see a character build this awesome vampire killing machine in a montage. And a minute later you see them throw it away without ever having used it.

I use roundcube.

I once unhooked a bra with a hug. Sadly not a superpower I retained.

Should be an age thing. I remember at school that some teachers would leave the TV on when they were done showing something and the CRT noise would make us students crazy and we had to remind the teacher to turn it off.

So you will probably lose it at some point.

How do such people program? Does anything they do even have any meaning to them?

I’d like to throw Goethe’s Faust into the ring. Someone being seduced by the devil while they think they’re playing the devil to do good deeds is a classic trope.

I wouldn’t be able to find the time to prepare so many meals. In Germany we usually only have a proper meal for lunch. Bread (often with a sweet spread like marmelade) or cereals for breakfast and bread with something savoury for dinner. The German word for dinner is literally “evening bread”.

Of course this can vary. I think it is more and more common for families to have the proper meal in the evening when everyone is together. And of course with guests or going out with friends you’d make something special or go to a restaurant.

It’s actually about a security position and the candidate is asking the question.

In general these things are achieved with the OAuth standard. But as far as I know it’s not supported by Lemmy.

I only got it the other way around when my wife promised to care for me 24/7 since I got disabled by Long Covid.

Design requirements are too ambiguous.

It would be nice if it was possible to describe perfectly what a program is supposed to do.

Try to automate updates as much as possible so that new security bugs get fixed quickly.

That’s actually pretty nice. Shows you early where you wouldn’t want to apply.
