We do what we must because we can, for the good of all of us (except the ones who are dead.)

If they can downscale enough, they should be able to pass this test.

I’ve never seen that association with my friends who use it. It’s always been more of a meme word, a meaningless adjective you throw into a sentence to make it “funnier.”

Sleep is for the weak.

However, without sleep, you become sleepy, and sleepiness is weakness.

Therefore, sleep is for the sleepy.

Google vote stuffing.

If that’s what it takes to prevent you from mixing milk and maple syrup…

So… we’re not hitting 8192.

Shields to full. Thrusters to full. Engage hyperdrive.

EN PASSANT!

Nothing much, how about you?

Intercontinental ballistic passant.

Yeah, you’re right, I’m not being rigorous here. I’m just co-opting big O notation somewhat inaccurately to express that this isn’t going to get as big as it seems because the number of upvotes isn’t going to increase all that much.

Sorry, mixed up n² and 2ⁿ. But what I meant was that there’s eventually going to be a point where the limiting factor is the number of people willing to upvote it, which is asymptotically constant (after crossing the threshold of making it onto the front page.)

Both the number of posts and the width of the posts are limited by a constant in this way, though the latter is a much larger constant. I suppose I was talking about the width of the posts, but it would have been more accurate to say it’s bound above by 2^(the number of users on Lemmy.)

In short, I do not think these posts are going to reach a 2048-wide en passant, but I don’t think image size is going to be the reason why.

You may think this is O(n^2), but it’s actually O(1), bound above by the number of users on Lemmy.

This is the kind of en passant that the Flash does.

In tabletop games, we call this an Attack of Opportunity.

Do they do that? I’ve had my laptop for a while, and it’s never happened to me.

Windows updates aren’t disruptive if you actually update now and then. It’s not even that often.

You’re not using a command line web browser? I wouldn’t either.

Makes sense. I guess I’m not so much demonstrating that the resurrection is true as that, if it’s not true, the accounts surrounding it are still very extraordinary and probably worth looking into.
