  • ReVanced doesn’t really require frequent updates. After modifying the YouTube app, I disable auto updates and keep using it until something doesn’t work properly (usually ads reappear)- Happens maybe every 4-5 months for me.

    For example, the YouTube version I’m using right now is 18.23.35 from June 10th, while the newest version that can be patched with ReVanced is 18.35.44. But since I haven’t seen any issues, I didn’t even bother to check for updates. Only your comment made me check and realize that I can update it.




  • Today, I had a weird issue: A program I worked on for hours would compile and do the (test-) output it was supposed to do. But if I’d declare and initialize another variable (unused), it would be stuck in an endless loop.

    It would only happen with an initialized variable, not with simply declared variables.

    Took me until this evening in my bed to realize that I probably am using another uninitialized variable somewhere in my code and that’s the source of this bug.













  • many scientists have been puzzled by the existence of stars like the Methuselah that appear to be older than the estimated age of our universe

    No, not really, because the age of that star is compatible with the age of the universe within the error bars.

    These galaxies, existing a mere 300 million years or so after the Big Bang, appear to have a level of maturity and mass typically associated with billions of years of cosmic evolution.

    Galaxy formation is still an active area of research und different models predict different evolutionary rates

    Instead, he proposes a constant that accounts for the evolution of the coupling constants.

    That’s exactly what Brans-Dicke theory is trying to do, and other modified theories of gravitation as well. Yet they can’t explain stuff so well as Lambda CDM can.

    Overall, tired light pretty much doesn’t work well explaining the perfect black body behavior of the cosmic microwave background or surface brightnesses of galaxies.

  • How Reddit Died:

    “August, there’s a knock on the door. I open it, and there’s this cute little girl scout…”

    “And she was so adorable with the little pig tails and all”

    “…and she says to me “how would you like to buy some cookies?” And I said “Well, what kind do you have?” She had thin mints, graham crunchy things…”

    “Raisin oatmeal”

    "…raisin oatmeal, and I said “We’ll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?” And she looks at me and she says “I need about treefiddy” "

    “Treefiddy”

    “…well it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a capitalist social media company from the quaternary era”

    “Reddit Inc”

    "I said “Dammit capitalist monster! Get off my lawn! I ain’t giving you no treefiddy!” "
