  • providing an arbitrarily non-reduced fraction is an even sillier alternative. the same fundamental issue arises either way, and it’s much clearer to use obvious semantics that everyone can understand

  • logical
  • sure you can, you say “i need a hole with diameter 0.25” +- 0.015625“”. it doesn’t matter that you have more sig figs when you state your precision

    but regardless, that’s probably not the precision you care about. there’s a good chance that you actually want something totally different, like 0.25+-0.1”. with decimal, it’s exceptionally clear what that means, even for complicated/very small decimals. doing the same thing fractionally has to be written as 1/4+-1/10”, meaning you have to figure out what that range of values are (7/20” to 3/20”)

  • logical
  • i’ve never heard of anyone using non-reduced fractions to measure precision. if you go into a machine shop and ask for a part to be milled to 16/64”, they will ask you what precision you need, they would never assume that means 16/64”+-1/128”.

    if you need custom precision in any case, you can always specify that by hand, fractional or decimal.

  • Wefwef's performance measurement according to PageSpeed Insights. The web app performs fine on my budget device with only 1.5 Mbps internet speed, why is this?
  • i think it’s an inherent limitation of pagespeed, since wefwef is not serving 1st-party content. the first contentfull load will be after the backend wefwef queries responds, which in this case took several seconds. there’s nothing the client can do about that, except for changing backends

  • Sad (Rule)
  • this seems like a huge benefit of federation - unless the UAE blocks every server that federates with blahaj.zone, you can still view all the content on a different federated server (except for non-federated content like blahaj-only images)

  • I'm thinking of buying the cheapest Nespresso machine
  • a french press cannot make espressos, or anything close to an espresso

    if you want, you can always use different beans with your french press - yes, it’ll always be the same type of coffee, but there’s some pretty big differences in flavor
