I'd like 80 days except for one impossibly annoying thing (on desktop at least): It doesn't let me skip the overly long opening intro/credits/animation which plays on every game start.

Well, the argument is that these conventions are exploitative (copyright basically forever) and therefore do not have moral force. Also that certain countries used copying to go up the economic ladder and then kicked the ladder.

"Theory of the nucleus" does not necessarily imply just QED+QCD in this context. It can mean something derived from QED+QCD - the theory of which elements of the calculation can be thrown out from the QED+QCD calculations. That wo

Let's adopt a legal realist point of view. RIAA/etc. have money, lots of lawyers with large briefcases, and lobbyists so as to basically write the law. The ordinary YouTuber doesn't have tohe resources to defend, and there ar

Gene sequencing is table stakes with modern tech, and many countries did that during the pandemic. We don't need a BSL-4 level lab in the middle of a large city to do a gene sequence. It happened that they published early what many oth

Leaving aside the question of where and how the virus emerged, it's interesting to note that the lab was nigh useless during the pandemic, despite its main specialty was investigating Coronaviruses! It looks like a lot of dangerous res

That's what actors + pre-recordings are for (we could try using AI to generate the music live but that would make the actors' work more complicated and add more fail modes, why bother?). Note that using recordings already happened

"Testing" has the problem where security patches also get delayed, so it ends up less secure than unstable or stable (!). Unstable isn't that bad IMHO, stable+backports also works.

That's not a fair comparison. We should be comparing Mac Mini to NUCs if power consumption is the relevant factor. Plenty of NUCs are rated for 15w.

Yeah, the idea it was rats in the link I gave too. The counter-argument is that it was an ecological problem in the strict sense, but not a ecological problem for humans. The people adapted and ate rats (yuck) among a few other things. It&#

Well, when one of the big arguments is whether Diamond absolves European colonialism, and in a later book he does exactly that, that does lead me to assume less good faith even in a previously written book. [EDIT: Note the title is "Ja

Thanks. Where can we find bindings for other non-Swift languages? Or does the 'embedding for 27 lang' in the title refer to 'human language recognition' and not 'programming language binding'?
