It's a bit odd that mastodon is seen as a far right platform when Twitter is such an enormous company with corporate interests which will ultimately continually add features to alienate users, while the free and open source nature of m

A better proposal might be to put solar cells (dark to absorb light) on the towers and blades. Dual power generation would be nice. Putting them on the coast could generate power from sun, tide, and wind.

This may be, but it is useful to point out that, in many cases, engineering practices in more tangible scientific areas are also driven by some personal preferences / opinion. For example, in which situations should you use Redlich-Kwo

I'm confused, if you're running an M2 Mac, you're probably going to be running Asahi Linux. (Not really sure there is any other option :P) That would be set up on the first day with the simple asahilinux she'll script,

Does Julia have this quality? I'm not suggesting it does, I'm genuinely curious for anyone that knows this area well.

An important note is that the MacBook pro M2 vs M2 Air appear to be essentially the same hardware with the same price - but the MacBook pro does have a slightly larger battery. And it is quite incredible. I've been very impressed tha

I just spent a lot of time looking around for a laptop that had good battery life to develop on (i.e. ssh). I eventually went with the MacBook pro with M2 because - *it actually is amazing*. It lasts for like 3-5 days of all day use in

There are quite a few articles alleging that VLC contains 'malware', or 'chinese hacker urls'. I know the software is available on gitlab (although they typically ignore pull requests). Has anyone spun up VLC in a VM and

This is why the Asahi Linux project is so exciting!! You get the great performance at low-power (M* ARM processors) while still getting the more performant and useful Linux experience. I am really thankful to the Asahi Linux team, and speci

I do t think this is necessarily true for many of the users here "defending" Apple. It's likely that many people just use their mac and find that the hardware quality, etc is nice compared to other competition. If the compan

Ummm... What? 120C NaOH does *not* sound safe "to release". I've worked with similar solutions. That stuff eats through so much and it's a pretty scary solution, if at high concentration. As with everything, It very much

I think they meant well behaved in the sense that it isn't highly reactive - e.g. doesn't explode in contact with air. Not so much what it does to humans. We're talking about fluorine chemistry here, so things get kind of ext

This is simply not the case. It works sometimes . Maybe. In many cases (software that is, say, a few years old) you run into packages that aren't available for a certain version. After trying various combinations of pip, maybe even ea

I don't know anything about common lisp, this seems to be a problem where Julia would shine marvelously. Given that most Julia users tend to be excellent mathematicians and physicists, I would imagine any advances or performance improv

Last time I checked (i.e. performed several benchmarks upon), parquet with Zstd was about the best way to store compressed data for really fast and small files. Zstd is quite good, and is now (iirc) in the linux kernel. People may have some

I'm very confused by this whole thread. Entropy is independent of 'life'. It's most canonically understood in terms of heat transfer, as it arose first from the study of thermodynamics.

There are far too many that try to use this argument without really knowing what they're talking about. *Don't mistake skepticism for knowledge* This is a major problem on this site and elsewhere.

Absolutely not. You can purchase a system with 1TB of ram, and some decent CPUs etc for ~25k. My lab just did this. That's far overpriced. 133k is closer to what you would spend if you used the machine with 1tb "in the cloud"

I absolutely agree. Most of the time, getting very good DFT results is actually far more difficult that getting the experimental results of cystollography itself. They're both quite hard, and it depends on which techniques are applied,

It's completely unnecessary, as it has been shown that general aviation planes can operate on mogas in almost every single propeller engine. Additionally, it costs more over the long run due to the maintenance costs (e.g. spark plug i

Perhaps I was loose with my language. Most things need crypto - but they probably don't need crypto currency . Or really any currency at all . What's wrong with hosting a server from your house? What's wrong with torrent?

Yeah there are plenty of these. Skycoin is a nice one as well. My point is that it isn't necessary (perhaps, simply a nice added feature for incentive).

Security risks, faster deprecation, and less flexibility. If another dependency changes it's api, you immediately have a problem. Your answer may be to fix the version to a static value abd forget about it - but if a security vulnerab
