  This was a wild ride.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We got a skimmer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have my PhD now, and have published 3 conference papers and 2 journal articles. I’m not in academia now.

  About half of my academic citations came from a poster I presented at a conference from before I started grad school. A poster that was never uploaded online, has no paper with it, and as far as I know, 15 people have seen in real life.

  They were citing the online abstract, which has no real meat to it, just a single picture of my choosing and a paragraph of text or so.

  Holy shit man. This project was barely science at this point. The methodology was soooo bad, and only made sense because I barely knew what I was doing and the researcher advising me was a bit out of their depth.

  Cities and Skylines isn’t too far off from that sim city 2000 vibe, if you need a fix

  Except for your first sentence, I would agree with you. Protest somewhere the ruling class can see you.

  Don’t hurt people directly though. The point of protesting is to shame leaders into change. Starting a war helps no one.

  What a terrible day to have eyes.

  What kind of operation was this? That’s 170,000 emails a day!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little bit more⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also massively reduces contact with the road.

  My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.

  Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.

  To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.

  I see the sausage vendor is in town this week!

  Aside from the fact that the best drivers are closed source, NVIDIA is killing it on Linux these days.

  Talk about double-fisting…

  I felt this revulsion in my bones. :shudder:

  Yarr, matey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 - Community Update #28 Closed Beta⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  the subreddit r/okbuddybaldur is pretty much 50% Astarion porn and 50% Durge/Gortash shipping.

  So yes. People apparently want it. I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just cited myself.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In this context, yes, because of the cancellation on the fractions when you recover.

  1/3 x 3 = 1

  I would say without the context, there is an infinitesimal difference. The approximation solution above essentially ignores the problem which is more of a functional flaw in base 10 than a real number theory issue

  She’s not wrong though… people are complicated. Math… well, at that age? Math is easy.

  Replaying Fallout: New Vegas. I wanted to do a tale of two wastelands, but I couldn’t get the mods to settle out. It’s a much better game than I remember from my first play through!

  Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns

  Thanks! The first link was a useful summary, and I’ll look at the others when I have more time!

  Anybody got a link for a good explanation of this for someone whose knowledge of micro bio is 12 years out of date?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm 99% sure it's not real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  As an engineer:

  1. Receive or identify a problem.
  2. Design a solution that solves or mitigated the problem.
  3. Usually pay someone to make a prototype or do it ourselves
  4. Test the prototype and see if it solves the problem. If no, go back to #2 until a workable solution is found
  5. Get someone else to build the final thing.
  6. Make sure thing works. Ship it.

  This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.

  Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.
