  • It really depends. One specific shop near my home has good quality frozen meat pancakes and dumplings. Yeah I have made dumplings by hand some 20 years ago, but those frozen ones are simply better. Maybe I can do some exotic dumplings with a buckwheat flour and a lot of eggs, but that would not necessarily be better, just different.

    On the other hand, pasta sauce prepared from scratch will always taste better than store-bought one, mainly because the stores here only sell ketchup and mayo, and pretty much all pasta sauce here is some variety of tomato concentrate with a bit of carrots.


  • Most vector rendering libraries have options to disable all the fancy stuff like Javascript and external links. If you manage to find one that supports it in the first place. As for resource usage, the server sends image files without decoding, so whatever forkbomb you will manage to include into your SVG will only crash Lemmy clients, so, ‘not our problem’. Maybe it will become a problem for the server when generating thumbnail image.



  • If you want to understand how 3D projection works, it’s better to solve a few trigonometric equations by hand on a piece of paper, then copy these equations to your Python code.

    If you just want to quickly make your own 3D renderer, simply use OpenGL API and the corresponding projection matrix. It will run the same exact formulas inside the driver, just in a 4x4 matrix form, and you can simply experiment with modifying each element of your projection matrix to make your 3D scene rotate the way you want, without bothering to understand the math.

    Simply copying some formula from the net will most probably fail.






  • I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

    It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

    The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

    I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
