I'm a native English speaker and I also have no idea what they were trying to say.

A chart showing the required funding over time for possible paths to a reactor from a U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration document, published in 1976. A curve representing actual funding since then has been added; it is entirely below the one labeled "'1978 level of effort' (aka 'fusion never')".

Linus Torvalds and friends: how Linux evolved from solo act in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 5 points 3 days ago

There's an argument that BSD would have been dominant in that case. It was bogged down in lawsuits claiming that it was pirated Bell Unix at the time, but they were dismissed not long after.

The arrival of Linux also slowed development of the GNU Hurd kernel, so that's another possible contender.

In the sense that PC stands for "personal computer", yes.

But PC has historically been a shortening of "IBM PC compatible", which makes certain assertions about system architecture. In this sense, x86 Macs are PCs, but others are not.

The people interacting with patients don't know which is which, but somebody does.

The whole point is seeing if the drug is better than a placebo, so you definitely need that information when it's time to analyze data.

What does 'b***' mean in the first panel?

It looks like censorship, but I can't think of any b-words that make sense there.

We tremble at the sight of you, Jolene 🎶

Okay, but can we still do the alternate lyrics where Jolene is some kind of eldritch horror?

🎶 He screams about you in his sleep
And when he wakes does not but weep
In terror, of the one they call Jolene. 🎵

I'm sorry, but "the human star of Muppet Treasure Island" is a phrase that clearly refers to Tim Curry.

What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? in c/retrocomputing
[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 5 points 1 week ago

The first computer my dad bought, back in the late '80s, was mostly a DOS machine that also came with a mouse-driven GUI called GEM.

I don't know if it ran on top of DOS, though. It booted directly from its own set of disks.

Also the article mentions they have a logo on them.

I don't know about you but, given the opportunity, I'd bring home Olympic condoms as a souvenir whether I used any or not.

[Bug 401] Image gallery clips more than just images from body (beehaw.org)
 

Example of behavior: https://discuss.online/post/35408836

In a browser, the post body contains two spoiler tags, the first is some text, and the second is an additional image. In the app, the image gets combined into the gallery, but the text is nowhere to be found.

Also the "Combine markdown images to gallery" setting doesn't appear to do anything; even with it turned off, the image gets combined into a gallery and the text is still missing.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: The post in question:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53330380

That's the url as connect copied it from my feed view in Connect, but I imagine my experience actually involved the federated copy on Beehaw. [Edit: the tchncs.de link crashes also.] A couple of attempts looked like the app was trying to throw up an error message of some sort, but it crashed back to the launcher so quickly I couldn't read it.

[Bug/295] Spoiler tag regression (beehaw.org)
 

The old bug where spoiler text appears blank in light mode appears to be back. Probably it's rendering the text as white on white rather than respecting the theme settings.

ExampleI can't read this part in light mode at all.

Image issues in 275 (beehaw.org)
 

  • With "force full-size thumbnails" disabled (the default) most thumbnails fail to load

  • With "convert to webp" enabled (the default) most images fall to load in app, but work in an external browser

As an aside, is there an "open external" anywhere when viewing an image? It used to be in the three dot menu, but I don't see it now.

What is the intended way of closing the settings menu? (beehaw.org)
 

It used to be that pressing the back button while in the settings menu would take you back to where you were before. For the last several versions, it would instead unceremoniously exit the app. I see from the notes for 271 that an exit prompt has been added, seemingly cementing what I would have considered the root bug. (i.e. that it exits at all rather than just going back)

So how are we supposed to leave the settings menu if not the back button?

[Bug] Revealed spoiler text is white on white (beehaw.org)

Revealed spoiler text appears at first to be blank. Highlighting reveals that it's there, just the same color as the background.

Edit: this is in 120

Cake is Bravetart's vanilla butter cake, scaled down for two pans rather than three and with the zest of two lemons added to the batter.

Filling is homemade lemon curd: zest and juice of two lemons, six egg yolks, and 200g sugar heated until thickened, then 1 stick cold butter stirred in off heat.

Frosting is Bravetart's Swiss meringue buttercream with 1tsp lemon extract and juice of 1 lemon added.

Garnished with candied lemon peel, scaled down to 1 lemon.
