Supposedly this is wreaking some havoc among their military, which uses WhatsApp extensively for logistics.

Yeah, I tested it on some large TIFF datasets I have around. 3x less memory and 4x faster.

Like, how many elderly men can’t do laundry?

Well, this is exactly what I needed for work… we process like 200MB tiffs and imagemagick speed and mem use is an issue

God forbid a pithy quote not capture the entire world of nuance

Whinging about downvotes, that’s a downvote

Quote from Kropotkin ‘Conquest of Bread’

Supposedly the Breaking Bad producers intentionally chose an acid that wouldn’t work.

I’m told that trying a cloth around the neck of a molotov cocktail is as effective and much safer. It will break and ignite as easily.

Yeah. Pioneer species providing shade, soil retention, and water slowing. Very important.

Hah, nice.

Be nice if they could set up an etransfer QR code. Generate code at till, scan with bank app or browser, double check the target and amount, submit.

Ah, nice. That’s good then. I stand by my unhappiness with the numpad tho. :)

Can you do etransfers without having to input an email address? Super annoying to have to set up a payment target every time.

I don’t really like that the keyboard omits the dpad keys, but keeps the numpad? The numpad is almost useless to me, personally, I specifically got a keyboard without it so I don’t have to reach as far for my mouse.

Dealing with this fucking toddler is exhausting

Yeah. Looks like the USD and rouble have been trading fairly evenly the last few years, within about 20%. So they’ve probably been inflating roughly at the same pace, I guess…

Regardless it seems like the basic thesis, that Russia doesn’t seem likely to have any more room for increasing spending, is accurate.

Although I guess a deflated dollar would look like an inflated rouble, and vice versa. On the other hand they can both inflate/deflate relative to yuan or euro.

I don’t think so… deflated would mean it takes fewer roubles to buy an item, not more. A 100 trillion economy would become a 120 trillion economy on paper with no other changes.

The US dollar has inflated like 25% in that period, maybe that is related.
