Any fps measurements you can share? I'm also interested if you see a significant difference between CachyOS and Bazzite.

I remember reading about something like this tech in one of Asimov's Robot novels. Thought about trying to build something like this, but don't really have the skills. Awesome they…

Reading this as my wife's contractions are getting stronger and more frequent. I'll put a reminder to reread this and the previous comments in a year or so. Wish me luck :)

Compared to what I have heard about the US, I'd say it is actually easier to find jobs in (at least Western) Europe. Plenty of jobs, and a way easier interview process. Not 8 round…

Thanks for sharing this pearl of knowledge! This is brilliant. I found this page which explains using this function well: https://andrewlock.net/working-with-stacked-branches-in-gi…

Who then should inject their feelings? Journalists don't care because it's too abstract, politicians don't care because it won't happen in their term, business doesn't care because…

While there is definitely a big consequence for the EU (and surrounding countries), the article mentions big impacts for the whole world. When it comes to climate, nobody is left u…

Not OP, but I think they meant Timberborn. It just hit 1.0 release . I tried it a while back, definitely a fun premise for a game.

I think greed is good for society in the same way that nuclear reactions bring lots of energy. That is to say, it does, but left unchecked it brings destruction.

Because engineering is all about making choices. Making a boolean 1 bit would be space efficient. However, memory is being read at least 1 byte at a time. If you want 1 bit of that…

Some quick googling tells me the US gov spends between 35 and 40% of the US GDP. Also, the article says 'relatively'. Compared to other nations, especially other developed nations,…

Nobody wants to shut down all the farming, just reduce it. For example, the Netherlands produces 250% of its own meat consumption. Since it's subsidized, the net financial gain is …

Very interesting indeed. Here in the Netherlands, we've had ID requirements for voting since forever. And even though we don't vote on Sundays (I think it's always a working day), …

Fair question! Carbon had an atomic weight of ~12, oxygen has an atomic weight of ~16. So carbon is responsible for 12/44 part of the weight of CO2. If we assume plastic to be 80% …

"Be smart and" don't get an expensive ring! Spend that money on your honeymoon, wedding, just save it, or donate it to a charity. Doing anything else makes more sense really.

Nope, any scientist should be agnostic ;). Since the existence of a god can not be proven nor disproven. Do I have an elephant in my living room? Chances are incredibly low, but ca…

As a Dutch person I was very suprised about this. This was because La Hague is not in The Netherlands, but in France. Thanks for the wiki though. I think you confused it for The Ha…

The gadgets are obviously worthless. Working with scammers gives them credability and publicity. So even if the goverment ends up not paying them, they still win.

How would an immortal society evolve though? Both biologically and socially. If they are anything like humans, you need the old generation to die for new knowledge to take hold.
