I've never tried Factorio, but I found Satisfactory very boring after a few hours. It was initially fun to do some exploring and make some initial manufacturing lines. However, when I realised that to scale up the manufacturing, then I

Excellent work. I wanted to do this recently, but it was surprisingly hard to find code to calculate an approximation. I've bookmarked it for when I next need a quick approximation for a function.

It would be nice to see the idle power numbers, including the motherboard. A lot of the time I'm using my home PC for light tasks (browsing, listening to music, etc). The idle power is likely to dominate unless doing heavy processing t

tsocks is quite useful for proxying a program's network access over ssh using SOCKS. I use it for accessing geo-blocked servers using command line tools without a full VPN.

Yes, many of the islands are missing even if they have labels (e.g. Faroe Islands). It would be nice if there was just a blob there at least.

As someone who has to use Fortran for their job fairly frequently, I say Fortran is a pretty awful experience compared to Python. Although Fortran is good at arrays, it is terrible at any other kind of data structure. You don't get a s

There was a Python JIT a decade ago - Psyco [1]. It was/is a lot faster than normal Python. The community, however, decided to go down the PyPy route. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyco

I enjoyed X3 and X4 quite a lot. However, I didn't like the UI and lack of jump drive in X4. It also has its share of bugs and the universe can get slow when the game progresses. It's still a very engrossing game, however.

I've been seriously thinking of getting a separate phone which would just be used for financial apps. It seems apps are now required to log into a few of the institutions I use, and you can do virtually everything with their apps. Two

They don't always. For my flat in a small block, it's "Erdgeschoss rechts" or EGR, in the contract or for the electricity.

One nice thing about this is that the compression factor seems quite a bit higher than standard gzip. This is very useful if you need compatibility with gzip/zlib formats (e.g. PNG files). For my use case, the compressed output was 8%

There are tons. I loved Starglider 2, produced by Argonaut Games. It's like No Man's Sky, but is from the 80s.

I used a 3 billion dollar space telescope. I don't think NASA are going to launch another to replicate some of my results.
