Japan, Lemmy, Minecraft. Damn, I think I’m autistic.
No Sonic mention? Shame
Magic the Gathering and D&D
You’re absolutely right! I’ve edited the meme to contain your suggestions.
Me except im not that intrested in Japan (I love Vietnam tho), im not that intrested in Minecraft (ive just played it for too long), not that intrested in Pokémon (never got into it). You forgot a few things tho
- Programming socks
- Star Trek
- :3
- Mechanical keyboards
- Walkable cities (and a general obsession with people focused city planning)
Socks as in Berkeley Sockets or socks with programming Lingo on them?
Neither, thigh highs :3
I feel personally attacked, how did you know my entire personality
is this an engineering meme?
Not a fan of Japan tbh
The flag is a big plus
No, that’s Switzerland
Based on posts around here, the Roman Empire.
Is this how I find out I’m autistic??
This is how you find out you’re cool 😎
Cool and autistic 😎
I obsess over half of these things and my kids’ mom the other. Our kids never stood a chance.
Why is Lain so popular these days? I still have my rips from 20 years ago on an old hard drive.
I just don’t seem to understand.
We started living in a terminally online cyberpunk dystopia around 2020.
A shame, you seemed an honest man.
What’s up with Maxwell and Autism?
I wanted to represent science, math and engineering with those.
I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.
I also love flags, flags are so beautiful (except the flag of Haiti, fuck you Haiti with your MS paint looking flag)
Their previous version was indeed without the coat of arms. Much cooler I think. During that time the Liechtenstein flag was identical, but they (Liechtenstein) changed it upon discovery.
I love that you have multiple people replying to you asking for technical details on how you ranked the flag entropy. This is how you know that you are amongst your people here <3
Well you gotta share that ranking now…
I owe it to the community. Since I don’t have it anymore I am coding it up again. Allow me some time - it’s weekend and I have family to look after.
And that script. I’m curious how you implemented it.
What is it about the flag of Japan that you like so much?
Simplicity I suppose. Colour combination. In my opinion if i can draw it from memory it’s a good flag.
Two colors, with a basic shape centered? I guess it’s ok.
How are you defining the entropy of a flag?
Subtracting it’s normalized negentropy from 1
“Welcome to fun with flags!”
How do you rate entropy? Is the script open source so we can see it?
I tried different definitions and settled on spectral entropy. This one uses fourier transform and (I think) this takes the spacial relation of the pixels into account, as opposed to the more common Shannon definition. I’d like to share it but am not sure on how to do that: were I to use GitHub I would doxx myself.
…and what is the stack ranked result?
I didn’t use to be autistic.
But then it got hyped so I got on board and now I am also autistic.
Because I don’t want to be different from my peers.
It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601, sundials and Casio F-91Ws?
Just you. They’re made exclusively for you.
