Bit of clarification: Xenacoelomorpha is the phylum that the genus Xenoturbella is under.
Someone left a tag at the top of the Xenacoelomorpha article advocating a rewrite, which I could probably quickly investigate right now (or even just check WoRMS) if I weren’t currently a lazy lump of dead weight. Without assessing the tag’s merits, I’d at least advise treading lightly as a heuristic.
- Comment on If you want to stay anonymous and still participate in society, learning to code is more important than ever given the rise of ID verification 2 weeks ago:
As someone who has a fair bit of experience with coding and with charlatans, don’t trust the one in the OP. They just joined Lemmy today, and they’ve been spreading unfounded conspiracist FUD. Learn IT stuff if you value your privacy most; the OP has no fucking idea what they’re talking about and gives zero practical examples to illustrate their point. Programming knowledge has rarely if ever been anything more than a tangential aid in maintaining my privacy.

That’s the logic I was avoiding, because although it’s heuristically likely in real life that there’s only one culprit – and that you could get Bowl 9 with ingredients a, b, c, d, e, f, and g to show it’s definitely h or i if you don’t get sick – there’s also a chance you have diarrhea on that Bowl 9 and gain very little information. There’s no conclusiveness to the variable isolation, so it’s not sound from an information theoretic perspective.
Actually, if you assume a comically unlikely worst-case scenario where all of the ingredients cause diarrhea, that sort of recursive algorithm might be the most amount of diarrhea you can get while still gaining information on each bowl.

Oh, no, you phrased it fine; I read 8 bowls and 8 bouts multiple times and somehow still misinterpreted the experiment. It was only after I wrote down and submitted an example setup that I snapped out of my own illiteracy.
- Comment on Replication crisis, my arse 2 weeks ago:
They said they got diarrhea 8 times over 8 bowls, but they never said how many ingredients they used.
Assume nine ingredients: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i
Bowl 1: a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i: Diarrhea Bowl 2: a: No diarrhea Bowl 3: b: No diarrhea Bowl 4: c: No diarrhea Bowl 5: d: No diarrhea Bowl 6: e: No diarrhea Bowl 7: f: No diarrhea Bowl 8: g: No diarrhea Bowl 9: The one the OP is referring to, which could have h, i, or h + i
That’s a perfectly feasible if disgusting way to have a bowl from a poke truck if you’re doing it solely for an experiment. And that’s just one setup; there are more convoluted ones you could do that have fewer ingredients but mixed together so your bowls aren’t just one combination. I just chose the counterexample that’s easiest to construct mathematically.

We’ll take them at their word that they’ve truly narrowed the variables to tuna and house sauce (i.e. they’ve eaten a meal consisting of only tuna and house sauce and gotten sick, but everything else has been properly eliminated), and thus the only logical options are T, HS, or T+HS.
- Comment on Replication crisis, my arse 2 weeks ago:
Flawed assumption. It could be both. You’ll need to eat there at least two more times to find out, assuming each trial yields 100% certainty.

Cards on the table: he looked like a low-rent Replay Mode – who makes fine-enough, seemingly hand-scripted video essays with mildly clickbaity titles about CoD multiplayer. They’re junk food for your brain, but they’re harmless.

In another life, I think this kid would be holding a $30 microphone, staring into his Galaxy A56 camera, and reading a low-quality, half-generated YouTube video essay script about why Call of Duty peaked with Black Ops.

- Comment on Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Depends heavily on the editor you’re using. Editor-agnostic, however, is that under the hood, everything uses “tags”, which are effectively key–value pairs that the broader editing community has agreed mean something.
In most editors, you’ll draw the area in a sort of free-form connect-the-dots, and you’ll have a blank area (under the hood, this is defined by the placeholder
area=yestag, but seriously don’t worry about directly changing tags unless you’re experienced; just let the editor give you a list of items to choose from).Next, select the area, and your editor should present you with some way to search for what you want. Once you click that, the editor will apply the corresponding tags under the hood and will likely give you a list of properties you can change (for example, if you create a fast food restaurant, it might let you decide if it has a drive thru or not).
I’ll be able to give something a lot more specific once I know the editor, since UIs vary heavily. (Note that I didn’t know at first myself: if you went to OpenStreetMap’s website, made an account, and clicked “Edit”, then you’re using the iD editor.)

Man, I dunno. Besides the little tuft up top, this looks kind of badass. Like an older, good-hearted biker, but you definitely don’t want to fuck with him.
He doesn’t look bald enough to be a Tsavo lion. Wonder if there’s a testosterone imbalance. All just speculation; no clue.

I use OsmAnd which I think is also really good. I’ve heard nothing but good things about CoMaps too, like you said, which is a (seemingly well-justified) fork of Organic.
If anyone’s curious about contributing to OpenStreetMap too to make the maps in your area better, I know a bit, and I’d be happy to answer questions, even if they’re just random curiosities.

Problem is that you’re still pretty close to Butt-Head. Granted you get an aisle seat so you can occasionally “go to the bathroom” to get some peace and quiet.
Then again, sitting in or near the very back [might save your life] with Beavis and Butt-Head aboard.
