#xkcd 37

[yesterdays-xkcd]

I do this constantly

Hyphen [Explained]

[tropylium]

ah yes belowed stars war character, Obi Wanken-Obi

[preponderance-of-parallelograms]

I'm pretty suspicious of this.

First, while it pretty clearly looks designed to have each color band be the same size, there are multiple locations (for example, around #4 from the left) that are the width of two color bands, but have the exact same pixel color (hex code #ca70f6 in this case).

This also speaks to my second point, other technical issues. The image is a JPEG, which uses lossy compression guessing at what humans will be able to see. You wouldn't want to do a hearing fidelity test over a phone line, for example. In addition, I see the post is from 2015, and monitors have changed since then, so the number thresholds wouldn't necessarily hold.

Third, moving into the claims involved, 25% sounds way too high to me. At that level, even accounting for things like "It only presents in people with two X chromosomes and they are more likely to be ignored by doctors," it shouldn't be at all difficult to pin down, while the research I've seen all demonstrates minimal effects, suggesting either a small percentage of the population or it doesn't really impact vision to a serious degree. This 2019 paper says that the genes might be fairly common, but still had a lot of difficulty measuring an effect (https://vision.psychol.cam.ac.uk/jdmollon/papers/JordanMollon2019Tetrachromacy.pdf) For a less scientific case, consider the XKCD color survey in 2010. One finding was that self-identified men and women did not have a statistically significant difference in differentiating colors. If you believe this post, then there should have been an easily-measurable effect from the tetrachromatic population (https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/).

Fourth, on the topic of sources, the source here appears to be a LinkedIn article, which is a bad sign to start with. The paper it cites is from 2001, which is strange next to the language about this being "recent", and also makes it odd that further studies like the one I posted have had such difficulty measuring an effect.

Finally, as a fifth, anecdotal point, I easily saw 37 colors, and according to one of those data-selling DNA companies, I have XY chromosomes as I would expect. That doesn't fit with any of the studies which are pretty confident that the mutation is only possible for people with only X chromosomes.

I'm sorry to be down on this. It's a fun idea, but I'm not buying it.

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light ;)

I saw a car yesterday with the license plate "XKCD 37" and when I looked it up this was what it was

[bubbloquacious]

I think it's fair to say that xkcd 37 ruined my life

[wechsel-balg]

mayo is made of raw eggs so it's not even artificial sin unless you got some strange-ass mayo (xkcd 37)

eggs are most delicious when least touched by fire (so poached, sunny side up, etc declining in quality to over easy, hard boiled). this is because fire cleanses the egg of sin (primary source of flavor). this is also why the objectively most delicious egg is soft boiled (hardened purified exterior traps the delicious sin inside the soft gooey interior), and why scrambled eggs are morally ambiguous

A connection i just made about the Owl House.

So from V’s backstory, we see that Belos studied how the magic draining of the basilisks works.

And we also know that the coven system isn’t actually that old. And it seals away all magic not from the respective coven. However, Raine Whispers said Belos wants to steal as much magic as possible before the day of unity. This is what they learned in this ceremony.

But note, they said steal, not seal away. Belos must have developed the technique of draining magic by studying how basilisks do it, and uses it to drain witches of every bit of magic which doesn’t correspond to their coven!

Anne Boonchuy powerscaling

Spoilers below. You have been warned.

So in the latest episode, we see Anne in blue mode kicking that killer robot into orbit. The best marker for distance is when the thing breaks through the clouds in 3.83 seconds (i stopped it with a stopwatch myself) According to a quick Google search, clouds are between 10 and maximum 20 km off the surface. With this little above the surface, we can approximate a homogeneous gravitational field of 9.8 m/s^2, which would reduce the initial launch speed by 37,3761 m/s in this time, so it must have been higher than that. That launch speed, assuming the robot weighs half a ton, equates to 348.53 kJ of energy. This is however a very low estimate, since the speed at the clouds was not 0.

Another estimate using the fact that the timer on the bomb said 5 seconds when the kick started and not ignoring the changing gravity with height is more difficult. The robot never fell back down, so i’ll assume within 5 seconds the speed was reduced from the initial speed down to 0, which is still lowballing it, but there’s no other sensible estimate. Examining this further, i conclude this method and the first one are actually invalid, because of the following: Within the time it took the timer to go from 5 to 4, the killer bot had already passed the clouds, meaning it was going way faster than 10km/s, and 11km/s would already be escape velocity! So assuming an initial speed of 15km/s (a reasonable middle ground between 10 and 20, don’t you think?), the energy was actually 5.625*10^10 Joules, or the energy a nuclear reactor puts out over about one minute, combined into a single kick. (Power output nuclear reactor: 1*10^9 Watts, therefore takes 56.25 seconds to put out 5.625*10^10 Joules) At those kinds of speeds, you can disregard gravity entirely over just 5 seconds, since it slows the speed down by less than 49,05 m/s, which is about 1/3 of a percent of the initial speed. Less, because deceleration due to gravity gets weaker the higher you go, but i assumed a constant deceleration of 9.81m/s^2 like near the surface. Well holy fuck, that’s pretty damn powerful.

For the IPv6 map just imagine the XP default desktop picture.

Map of the Internet [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

Map of the Internet The IPv4 Space, 2006This chart shows the IP address space on a plane using a fractal mapping which preserves grouping--any consecutive string of IPs will translate to a single, compact, contiguous region on the map. Each of the 256 numbered blocks represents one 8 subnet (containing all IPs that start with that number). The upper left section shows the blocks sold directly to corporations and goverments in the 1990's before the RIRs took over allocation.

[holytheoristtastemaker]

Welcome to our guide to the must-have web development tools of 2020 so far. If you regularly write front-end code for web applications, then you probably have your go-to set of tools. A boilerplate that serves as a skeleton, a UI library that helps you make things dynamic and interactive, a build process that might include one or more tools to scaffold out the files and directories you'll need. You might even have a set of CSS and JavaScript utilities that you go back to time and again. Or maybe your tooling is a couple of blank files, your code editor and nothing more (which is absolutely fine, especially if you’re new to the scene). Whatever your toolset looks like, it's always beneficial to take a peek at what's out there and what’s new in front-end tooling. To that end, let's roll out 50 of the most interesting and practical web development tools that you should know about. Most of these are fairly new, having been released at some over the past year, while a few have been around for a little longer and have only started to gain traction during the last 12 months. Whatever the case, you'll most definitely find something in this list you can use in a project soon. We've organised the list into sections, to make it easier to navigate. You can use the links to jump straight to the section you're interested in, or just browse the whole list. Want even more? Here's another list of amazing web design tools, and be sure to check out our list of user testing software tools, too.

22 and 37!

For who?  Guess I’ll do everyone then??

22.  How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

Jade would try to ignore the jealousy at first, but when that fails if it continues to build up (as in, not prompted by an isolated incident) she’s gonna confront somebody.  

Ward either gets extra protective (if that’s possible…), or withdraws completely if he thinks his jealous behavior is hurting people.

Tomo gets a little withdrawn and worried when he feels jealous- it usually passes pretty quickly but it can happen often if he isn’t getting enough attention from his friends or family and doesn’t have something to keep himself occupied.

Mr. Khan isn’t really prone to jealousy, or at least not at his age.  He’s very secure in himself and his relationships.  He’d try to counter his jealousy with more positive feelings- spend more time with people he cares about, or even whoever was making him feel jealous in order to get to know them better and dispel his fears.

Grisaldara… gets a bit paranoid.  She’ll try to act like everything’s normal but meanwhile is going to try to find out if she has any real reason to worry.

37.  Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?

When possible, Jade tries to connect whatever she’s trying to memorize with some historical fact she knows.  (For example, I remember the sun rises in the East by recalling that Japan is the ‘land of the rising sun�� and that it is east relative to the Asian mainland).  Else she uses the common sort  of mnemotics everyone learns in school.  

Ward is very good at memorization and uses no particular tricks, though only really has devoted his memory to magic, particularly his beloved enchantments. 

Tomo will try to connect what he’s memorizing to one of his Abuela’s stories, or even make up one of his own!  He’d be very good at memorizing passwords consisting of strings of random words (A la “battery horse staple correct” from that one xkcd comic)

Mr. Khan memorizes things by imposing his own order on them.  He’s managed to memorize many Equestrian words, but only by using his own, ‘improved’ abbreviation of the language’s structure.  If he tried to memorize the periodic table, he’d manage to memorize all the elements, but in the process make his own chart for sorting them that might not be terribly helpful for anything else.  

Grisaldara doesn’t use any particular system for memorization, though she usually has a good idea when something is fully committed to memory or not, and whether its something she needs to have memorized or not.
