Why restrict to 54-bit signed integers? Is there some common language I'm not thinking of that has this as its limit?
Edit: Found it myself, it's the range where you can store an integer in a double precision float without error. I suppose that makes sense for maximum compatibility, but feels gross if we're already identifying value types. I don't come from a web-dev/js background, though, so maybe it makes more sense there.
Is there a particular draw for foobar2000? I remember a while back I was looking for a music player and that kept coming up, but I found it underwhelming when trying it. I've been using MusicBee for a long while now, and have found it excellent, so I don't plan on switching, just curious if there's something I'm missing.
JPEGView It's a simple but powerful image viewer (don't be misled by the name, it can view most any standard image formats).
It feels weird to even have an opinion on such a simple piece of software, but this is the type of tool that reminds you of what software could be like. When you open an image, you see the image. No loading time. No unnecessary toolbars. No fucking pop-ups to update the software to get the latest AI tools.
Don't get me wrong, it's plenty powerful. It's got all the tools you'd expect: viewing EXIF data, cropping, rotating, brightness/color correction. It even has some more advanced tools: navigating collections of photos (including nested folders), viewing a collection as a slideshow or movie, perspective correction, batch-renaming... The impressive part is that it does all this without getting in the way of it's job: viewing images.
Unfortunately, the project has been abandoned, though it appears to have been forked here (I haven't actually used this version, but hopefully they haven't changed too much).
That doesn't look very realistic. I bet they just punched Godzilla for the take and then reversed the footage.
I've used this for a while now, and it's an excellent app. It's genuinely refreshing to have apps that just do their job without fuss or feature creep.
That's pretty rough in a lot of ways, but man would that make ASCII box-drawing easier.
I didn't see the content of the post, but the modlog lists the following:

Loved the Clint Howard cameo! Pretty amazing to still have actors all the way from TOS appearing!
Seems a bit disingenuous to compare the niche of tech folks that used Google+ to the niche that use WeChat, with the later "niche" being... China...
Not everyone has to agree that dominating a country's social media usage is a good goal, but it clearly is the goal for many companies, and they're going to continue to persue it. Perhaps users of social media should redefine success, but for creators of social media platforms there are absolutely clearly defined measures of success and failure.
Was anyone saying it was dead? I guess it took a hit when What went down, but I don't think people are going to stop listening to music...
This is a good reminder I should get back on soulseek, though; I used to use it and it was pretty great.
I don't know if it's a canon connection to Star Trek in particular, but I loved the nod to the trope of using Toronto for NYC/Chicago/wherever.
