Thank you. This is very true, and equally sad.

So, we could take concentrated CO2 from a furnace, and instead of releasing it into the atmosphere directly, convert it to Methane, and then burn that incrementally? Or could we possibly fit an exhaust-gas tank onto our engines that holds a

It is slightly amusing how the text says multiple times that the spacecraft "remains on its expected trajectory". Were they anticipating autonomous course changes?

Publii is a nice, easy to use, self-contained GUI for creating static websites. And Open Source, too.

Or pay for the ebook, and strip the DRM.

Is it JUST WORDS if someone insults you or your work? Or does it still hurt? At the very least we can be constructive and civil.

The premise is true enough, but the article didn't really expand on anything meaningful beyond the title.

Very much on point. Where else can you get payed for doing essentially whatever you like for a few years? At least for me, that was actually worth the hardship. Although there was a lot of hardship. It was still an incredible, and ultimatel

That's actually sort of accurate. Some PhDs are lucky early, and can build on that success. Good for you! Good for them. Most PhDs aren't so lucky, regrettably.

That was my first inclination as well, although my PhD is now already a few years in the past. Talk about PTSD.

LOL, wrote the thesis in one month. Very funny.

Playable most of the time means "this game requires a keyboard, so remember to press Steam+X for the on-screen keyboard when you're asked to enter your character name", or "fonts are a bit small on the small screen"

I can't say I agree. Most people I know commute by bike. Trains are used wherever practical, and proximity to train stations is a major consideration in choice of job and home. At least in my bubble, commuting by car is only used as a

Also, just don't read five-star reviews. Whether fake or not, they won't contain any interesting information. The important insight is invariably in the "negative" one-to-four star range.

I bet somebody will port one of the third party clients to use web scraping instead of the API.

That's how I see it, too. There's a gear-and-discussion phase in many hobbies, which is important to start to understand the field. But once you acquired the necessary basics, you'll start drifting into the doing. And that&

That's exactly the point, though: side loading is not something to worry about, since normal users won't and shouldn't care about it at all. It is not a threat to the Apple App Store. But it does allow for niche applications

Looking at Android, where sideloading has been available forever, there doesn't seem any evidence of your worry.

This article was way too long for what it said. Not very crisp, one might say.

After years of Windows, I just recently set up a new Mac. It was a breath of fresh air! Windows has onedrive im the sidebar of the explorer, macos has icloud. On macos it's one toggle I'm settings, and it's gone. In windows,

Without concerted effort, any easy-to-change code naturally will be replaced by hard-to-change code.

Same here. My gaming PC has not seen any use whatsoever (for gaming) since I got the Deck. The form factor is actually perfect for pre-HD games that were built for small CRT TVs. I am now rediscovering kid-friendly platformers with my littl

That was my first thought, too.

I thought that's astigmatism, which distorts different wavelengths differently. Some LEDs have very few, widely separated wavelengths, and your astigmatism separates them.

I once developed a video game plugin for a niche flight simulator, that was subsequently bought by a few thousand people. Their response left me flabbergasted: They thanked me! Personally, by email. They actually took out time of their ow

During my dissertation, I routinely worked with directories containing hundreds of thousands of files. For not entirely unrelated reasons, I also had to reinstall the OS kind of a lot, and experimented with a few. Most file managers slow do

I love KDE. Its file manager in particular is a thing of beauty, unique in its ability to display large directories without slowing down and uniquely flexible and powerful. The desktop in general gets out of my way, with a good window switc

Same here, using it for years! The deduplication allowed me to move from Windows to Linux, while keeping a consistent backup. It's great stuff!
