I've read comments in the past of people adventuring into these kinds of scenarios though I haven't tried to use a pi as a desktop. I use old laptops. My daily driver until a year ago was a Dell e7470 which worked well enough for

Magic/ supernatural isn't unscientific by definition. We don't believe in it because there isn't anyone able to do those things for all of us to see. Science is defined by the scientific method and our curiosity to apply

I'm curious how you manage to use 650kw+ per month. I don't go over 300 even in the summer with the AC on. Also why would you just keep running extra machines all the time? I understand a personal machine and a server but more tha

You don't need old as in 20 year old. just cheap / second hand fanless computers like 2nd or 3rd gen NUCs, raspberry Pi's etc

Haven't tried learning DVORAK to see how easy I can switch back but as a 12 year vim user, not having access to vim bindings feels like coding with handcuffs. Luckily all major IDEs come with decent vim bindings but I would be afraid t

how do you know for certain you'd be required to do overtime consistently? you've never worked in the field. I haven't either but I'm not assuming crazy stuff like being required to work 16h a day. your stance is complet

You're gonna fall ill or die if you drink too much water. If you know too much coffee is bad for you why on earth would you even drink so much after the first couple of experiments?

Coffee and cigarettes improve productivity not reduce it. Heavy alcohol consumption will get you in trouble, could even get you in jail. Muslims are not as a rule poly amorous. Only a select few. Mormons are a very very small portion of soc

I understand, but afaik libera.chat does not even offer grey hat channels, it's mostly above board but certainly alive and well

idk about black hat stuff but I owe a huge amount of gratitude to the freenode (now irc.libera.chat) community that helped me learn C++ 12 years ago and to the #linux / #debian / #arch-linux channels to which I go for help even to

I think he's saying it took a life of its own and its incentives are destructive to mankind. I disagree but I can see how you could make the argument, supposing you think bitcoin has no use / value and that smart contracts are jus

Anecdotally, I've read a long time ago that fish oil should help with sleep but I didn't start supplementing. Fast forward to this summer, I had big sleep problems, I couldn't keep a normal schedule and when I woke up I had t

If you're rich enough to rent out entire grocery stores I suppose you're rich enough to have assistants doing shopping / buying alcohol for you. I also assume they have expensive hotel rooms with a lot of alcohol provided by

This feels like a list for 9 or 10 figures or for moderately rich famous people. I don't see myself doing even half of those things if I had even 7 figures or low 8 figures.

So they just want to visit a grocery store? Just to see how it is?

I learned C++ from scratch around 13-14 years ago through this website and with help from #freenode's C++ channel and I'm grateful for both.

Well he did put up a poll saying he would step down based on the results so I assume he'll be honoring it. Though I would rather he didn't as it would have been more fun with him in charge.

Research and all tech advancements are done in increments, there's no other way about it. I see no point in tackling rough weather conditions when the basics aren't even finished. Of course for the product to actually hit the road

These speech recognition systems don't really work that well when there's a lot of speakers present, talking over one another. Are these researchers even trying to revolutionize speech recognition? it seems their only goal is to m
