TIL Greenland sharks can live up to 500 years, take 150 years to reach sexual maturity and have a gestation period of up to 18 years. And apparently it takes a year in the back yard to prepare as well.

They’re sideways facing eyes, but a bit diagonal. Definitely not forward facing though. They’re just a bit bulgy.
- Comment on Rush hour traffic in Utrecht, Netherlands 1 week ago:
They actually found that both cyclists and drivers tend to take more risks when helmets are abundant, which in turn leads to more serious accidents instead of fewer.
Moreover the Netherlands don’t have comparatively more head injuries each year than more car-centric countries, suggesting that cycling doesn’t contribute that much overall.
And most injuries tend to happen to old people. Drop the 60+ bracket and suddenly head injuries from cycling drops to an inconsequential number.

There is a correlation between height and dick size, but it’s quite small. IIRC for every 20cm or so in height you get 1cm in dick on average, but it varies enough that it’s no certainty a tall guy has a larger dick.
Also fun fact: studies into penis size correlating with other factors can be broadly generalised into two categories: measured studies, which is where doctors will measure the penis when erect in a consistent manner, and self-reported studies, where people just tell a researcher how big it is.
Self-reported studies generally come back with results like “black people have larger dicks, Asians have shorter dicks” etc… But in measured studies, it turns out that worldwide penis size is basically all the same. It’s people self-reporting their own size + a correction for what they think they should have (nobody wants to be below average). In places with high porn consumption, penises tend to “be larger”, because that’s what men see and they want to have the same. Only in countries that tend to censor genitalia in porn do you find people actually self-report a size that’s essentially the same as their actual size (which usually happens to be Asian countries). That, plus the whole “BBC” genre in porn, essentially explains the self-reported racial differences in dick size.
Also fun: self-reported studies overestimate average dick size by approx. 2cm. Self-reported the average is about 15cm, but when actually measured it drops to about 13cm (which also happens to be 6 inches and just over 5 inches respectively; see the psychological effect there?).

“Demsoc” is just a shorthand for “democratic socialist”. Similar to how “ancap” is “anarcho-capitalist” and “nazbol” is “national-bolshevik”.

Yeah Abagnale pretended to be a doctor and conducted 12 “fitness examinations”, supposedly for Pan Am, on young female students. Definitely creepy.
And then there’s the individual women who accused him of all sorts of stuff.

You should probably know the best con that Abagnale pulled is making people believe he actually did all of those things. Journalists have discovered that the vast majority of his claims are completely fabricated.

- Comment on Notepad++ DLL Hijacking Vulnerability Let Attackers Execute Malicious Code 2 months ago:
One of the NPP maintainers responded with:
Notepad++ & its plugins are installed in “Program Files” directory by default, which means hackers would need admin privileges to replace any plugin. If a hacker gains such privileges, they could also replace all the DLLs in the system32 folder. By the same logic, once Notepad++ is compromised in this way, any applications or executable binary (*.exe & *.dll) on the system could potentially be replaced. Or am I missing somethings?
Which I suppose is true. You could argue it is a way to persist malicious code once you do have access, but it seems unlikely and not that useful. Low severity if anything.
You’d need to have some general attack script that can adjust (or create proxies for) dlls maliciously on the fly, without prior knowledge of which dlls are encountered. Only in that case could the exe maybe detect malicious changes to the dll and stop execution. But a targeted attack using a compromised NPP distribution wouldn’t be covered with such a check.

- Comment on Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN 2 months ago:
UE5 by default uses a lot of flashy tech that is supposed to improve performance, but a lot of it only does so in scenarios that are already extremely unoptimized. Using more traditional methods tends to achieve the same fidelity at a fraction of the performance cost. But there’s no time for optimization, and these fancy options “just work”, so there ya go.
The end result is a poorly running blurry mess of a game, but at least it’s on schedule I guess.

- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 2 months ago:
UE5 can run well, but all the defaults that Epic suggests devs use are really quite bad for performance. They improve performance on horribly unoptimized scenes, but actually optimizing the scene would allow a 10x performance improvement at no reduction in visual fidelity. But devs don’t tend to optimize much anymore because those Epic-suggested defaults “take care of optimization”.

It’s also a dlc song for Hearts of Iron 4, which in and of itself isn’t a game that promotes fascism but there is a weird far-right subculture that does use it to praise stuff like Nazi Germany.
