[Making cracks visible is] helpful, but what would be ideal is a way to not just find the cracks, but to fix them.

That's what the article says, they're hardly implying it's nonsense. Or are you saying that the self-healing is nonsense? There are examples of self-healing materials, like Roman concrete.

I'm sitting here trying to replicate what that sounds like from your description and I've only succeeding in sounding like a madman.

Radiohead are notorious plagiarists (it's absolutely true because I read it in the Daily Mail).

As far as I know I made it up, but I stand ready to be surprised!

In other news, you have a little cake on Voyager - you've been on Lemmy for one year today.

I don't see that as a benefit tbh - if I have a dependency, I want to see why it's there as part of the commit. I'm imagining running blame on Cargo.toml and seeing "Add feature x" vs "Add dependency". I guess the idea is it's "➕ Add dep y for feature x" but I'd still rather be able to see the related code in the same commit instead of having to find the useful commit in the log.

I suppose you could squash them together later, but then why bother splitting it out in the first place?

I see that some use a subset of Gitmoji and that does make sense to me - after all, you wouldn't use all of them in every project anyway, e.g. 🏷️ types is only relevant for a few languages.

I looked at it and there's a lot of them!

I see things like adding dependencies but I would add the dependency along with the code that's using it so I have that context. Is the Gitmoji way to break your commits up so that it matches a single category?

Thank you for the term - I thought it was something like amortised cost but when I looked that up it describes something completely different.

There's a British quiz show called Only Connect that finishes with essentially this puzzle, except harder (with plenty of red herrings), timed but unlimited guesses until you have your first two groups, and extra points for naming the connection (even ones you failed to find).

We play NY Connection like we have to figure out the connection before entering the group, but we often end up with a final set of four that we just have to assume is some American references like NFL teams (like yesterday).

edit: There's episodes on Youtube, I've linked to the round I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nBpjx06hrQ&t=21m

I'd seen the Lemmyverse headline but didn't realise it wasn't about Lemming-created music. The actual rules make sense, and I like that the rules will bend to match an instance's area of interest.

I wonder if there's anyone here that fancies making a remix or performance of Tetris or something iconic. Imagine how great a cover by a swing band or similar would be!

I wasn't sure this qualifies as a good news story, although perhaps it should - there are a lot of health benefits to cold exposure (like increased "brown fat" - metabolically active brown adipose tissue) as well as the mental boost from resiliency training.

Also, they'll burn plenty of calories staying warm which is good news in a world where obesity is the world #1 form of malnutrition.

That's really interesting, thank you for going to the effort to share those page.
