Pazuzu, (edited ) to programmer_humor in Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

I thought this had to be hyperbole, so I did the math myself. I’m assuming human history is 200,000 years as google says, and we want to narrow this down to the second the bike disappeared. also that the bike instantly vanished so there’s no partially existing bike.

each operation divides the time left in half, so to get from 200k years (6.311×10^12 seconds) to 1 would take ~42.58 divisions, call it 43. even if we take a minute on average to seek and decide whether the bike is there or not it would still be less than an hour of manual sorting

hell, at 60fps it would only take another 6 divisions to narrow it down to a single frame, still under an hour

edit: to use the entire hour we’d need a couple more universes worth of video time to sort through, 36.5 billion years worth to be exact. or a measly 609 million years if we need to find that single frame at 60fps

Pazuzu, to memes in ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

Funny enough, there’s an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it’s more reliable than solving them manually

Easier to add more ram than it is to change my tab hoarding habits

Ah, right. How could I forget. Systemic issues are solely the fault of us as individuals for not singlehandedly solving them ourselves

Takes time to precisely seek to each timestamp, but really I just meant that an hour was reasonable even with a lazy cop doing the search

Pazuzu, to memes in Is this photoshopped or is there really a country where the stop sign is green?

your link shows a \ before each underscore in the visible text for me in both comments, like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blue_stop_sign_-_hawaii_-_oct_2015.jpg and hovering or clicking the link replaces that \ with %5C, so the entire thing tries linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blue%5C_stop%5C_sign%5C_-%5C_hawaii%5C_-%5C_oct%5C_2015.jpg. clicking ‘source’ on those comments shows just the \ before each underscore

no idea what’s causing it, super weird to have the same bug messing with links that reddit does

Pazuzu, to memes in *Crickets*

I’ll have you know I sprinkled the first 3 spices I could find on that microwaved dinner, if that’s not fine dining I don’t know what is. yes the first 2 were salt and pepper, next question

Pazuzu, to memes in Relatable!

AMdroid is similar, bunch of different task and puzzle options you can set for your future self to solve before you can turn the alarm off. I usually do math problems, just difficult enough that I need to be at least 90% conscious to actually solve them.

come morning time I hate the app with a passion, but it’s just the kick in the ass I need sometimes

There’s other antidepressants that don’t do that. Mirtazapine for instance helps sleep, and has no real impact on sex. It’ll make you hungry, though. Buproprion will mess with your sleep but not sex, but you’ll have no appetite. They all have their own unique collection of side effects, well worth looking into other options if SSRI’s aren’t well tolerated
