The simplest reason that Nexus is 'bad' is that it throttles free user downloads, so you may spend hours downloading a large mod at 2MB/s. There's nothing wrong with a site like Nexus, but Nexus specifically is very an

Clearly there are businesses that serve millions or billions of users, and have a serious need for engineers with experience with the tools to do so. Engineers seeking those jobs are then motivated to use those tools to engineer systems ser

There's a difference between 'entitlement' and recognizing that a system is flawed such that it doesn't necessarily select for the best candidates, only those who are willing to play the game hardest, which doesn't

Although there are plenty of examples of great physicists with very early output, most typically continue to contribute substantially. Even Einstein's major breakthroughs in general relativity didn't come until his late 30s. Moder

The ability to draw and connect straight lines is much more fluid than any system design or general drawing tool I've used, very smooth. It would be great to have a free drawing tool on top of this. The drag function is quite janky ins

Proton is incredibly impressive nowadays, even when dealing with highly invasive anticheat services. I think there are only a small handful of games in my steam library where it doesn't work well. Within 5 years I think most of the rem

It changes it in the sense that the theorized cause of her temporal lobe being missing (a stroke in infancy) is quite possibly false, and it's actually some sort of genetic trait. Of course, perhaps they were both predisposed to stroke

It's been 20 to 40 years for about 60 years, now we're down to 10 to 20 we might get down to 5 to 10 in only 30 more years!

The current ability to produce so much food in the developed world using modern fertilizer and methods, despite their disadvantages, means the most common threat that challenged our ancestors (famine) is barely present in many countries whe

There's a difference between providing information ("Someone significant to many members of this community has died recently") and providing a (arguably very superficial) signal of support for a cause dear to some of the deve

I think the writer is so completely wrong in his characterization of the internet and all of its free information not even producing "some sort of bump." How could you fail to recognize the massive change and pace of technological

The way many people I've known seem to achieve flexibility is to accept a role somewhere relatively laid back, typically at a large but non-tech corporation. If they're coming from a much more intense environment and working remot

I have a 4k 32" monitor that I use at 1:1. Maybe not for everyone, but I find myself unwilling to work on smaller screens now. Only problem is it can be find to hard 144hz refresh rates in this size/resolution range, but the smoot

It's really hard to say Ramanujan was a genius "without formal training." He didn't have the formal training of an English mathematician at Cambridge, but he had access to tutor and some material. He absolutely obsessed

Driving around while reading the newspaper and getting into frequent crashes, and advocating for the immediate nuclear annihilation of Russia, are at least 2 other controversial pastimes.

Arrest them for assault...? Basically every study or reasonable implementation of decriminalization has shown both fewer negative effects of drug use, and in many cases decreased drug use itself. So there is in fact a simple answer, and I t

I don't think it's bad for 'competitive' typing but it's nothing like the real process where fixing mistakes at the end is almost a triviality instead of completely derailing your typing.

There's ample conversation in the linked paper about how the many demands of society and changing culture influence IQ. The reality is that its one of the few psychometrics with strong correlations to a number of long term outcomes lik

There's already large contemporary investment in wind and solar relative to the past, not quite the same for nuclear. A lot of processes are inherited from very old projects back in its heyday.

Also owing consideration is the many advances to those processes that could occur with more substantial investment in nuclear power. However the primary benefit to nuclear, beyond its acceptable carbon emissions, is that functioning as a ba

Nuclear investments desperately need to be recognized as green so you don't have oxymoronic policies similar to Germany's current plan where you're decommissioning nuclear to become more "green" yet producing much m

To be fair this is basically just a texture pack, which is already something you can use. The real problem is the highly consistent UI design, differing in things as simple as if you have to use a keyboard or mouse to navigate a list. Toady

Soviet news at the time was actually much more accurate than the USA. In the New York Times about half of the things would be true and the other half false. However, if you simply believed the opposite of what Izvestia said on a given issue
