The reason old renderings of dinosaurs look like this is that these represent the threshold of the known. They are scientific renders, containing only the details that we can be reasonably certain actually existed on these animals. You can of course go further and fill in missing details with imagination and reasonable speculation, but this will always be more an exercise in art than science, a speculative exercise.

I feel like a better way to represent “the threshold of the known” would be sort of the pictorial equivalent of “error bars” — instead of doing one image showing an animal that basically looks like it has mange because that’s all you can be sure of, do a matrix of images that show various extremes of possibilities.

Public Domain meets the OSI’s definition of “open source” and the FSF’s definition of “Free Software.” What you’re describing is the state of it not being published yet.

Everything the US Federal government produces is Public Domain, by law.

That’s not even the part I’m shocked about. Cancelling prison or even fines for the perp is one thing, but it’s fucking absurd that Trump can just unilaterally decide the victims don’t get their money back!

It says “pin up” so maybe it’s a standalone image, like a poster?

Do you want them to go back to using the original version of the saying?

Wait, the pardon can invalidate having to pay restitution too‽

It’s funny: before the change in DNC leadership, @[email protected] stood out for how harshly critical he was of the Democrats, to the point that he often got downvoted because people thought he was some kind of concern troll. Then, of course, all his dire predictions came true.

It’s almost as if he’s paying close attention and understands the DNC very well.

They’re hedging their bets early.

The hour is later than you think. The climate is already changing. The 1.5C threshold has been left behind.

At this point it makes no difference because with all the upscaling and fake frames Nvidia is pushing you’ve got that when running locally, too.

I just double-checked in the mirror, and I don’t have any wrinkles yet either.

That’s what happens when you don’t go outside enough, I guess!

(I am starting to get a few gray hairs, though, if it makes you feel any better.)

Obligatory:

Sure! Sounds like that particular Miata owner was actively expressing support above and beyond not being hostile, though.

Nah, the last time they did that was 1985, when Tetris came out.

I’ve been using Duolingo. I get, and even agree with, most of the criticism of it, but I’m not sure anything else would actually work for me because the heavy gamification is what keeps me actually making progress at it.

Oui. “What method are you using?”

I have faith that she can achieve Ian-ness!

The guard captain was way more pissed off about it than the punctuation in those subtitles would have you believe.

How can the courts strike down that which was a lie to begin with? “Reciprocal,” my ass!

Aw man, now you’re just enabling my bad DIY habit, where I get too ambitious and/or too skeptical of hiring somebody and end up taking way too long to get the project done. I’m this close ->| |<- to committing to a DIY central HVAC system replacement (complete with new 240V circuit for a conversion from gas furnace to heat pump), which is obviously gonna end up with me relying on “temporary” window AC units all summer, and you’re just shoving me right over the edge!
