• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to shit on your perfectly reasonable parade, but in Germany there is high speed rail through the whole . takes about 6 hours from top to bottom.

  Maybe not a great example there, with that running something like 100 km/h average speed.

  If you bump those numbers up to be competitive with actually high-performing HSR operators, that trip would take 2-3 hours, immediately killing any competitive edge that air travel would have on those segments - 2-3 hours will basically get you to the airport and through security, you’ll have arrived already if you were on a well-performing train by then.

  HSR is the best alternative for any trip up to approximately 800 km, at which point air travel starts beating it out. This is for daytime travel only - trains could be competitive for far longer distances with overnight sleeper service. I’d not be against taking night HSRs going between any points in Europe basically.

  Alas, this would require non-shit politicians, which definitely does not exist

  Anyone who says ‘These years are the best of your life’ are really just telling you that their life peaked at that age.

  If you play your cards right and have a large serving of luck, this will not be true for you.

  In Sweden, where cinnamon buns are from, the use of this kind of glaze does not exist - we use pearl sugar instead.

  Also, the concept of Soggy Biscuit in Swedish is called ‘Runka bulle’, which loosely translates to ‘Wank Bun’, where bun by default refers to a cinnamon bun. So anytime we see a cinnamon bun with glazing, this is the only thing that comes to mind.

  I haven’t seen this in Sweden, while speeding is fairly common.

  Why the hell is speeding so normalized?

  Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

  That does not seem particularly healthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This whole thing is just garbage and should probably be taken down -

  • The writing quality is low and looks AI generated
  • It doesn’t actually link to a study that agrees with its conclusions
  • The one study that was linked shows the following results:
    • More sleep (+27 minutes)
    • Less physical exercise (-50 minutes)
    • Worse diet (reduced amount of calories from protein)
    • Higher alcohol consumption (increased amount of calories from alcohol)
    • “no changes in weight or wellbeing”
    • “however, their impact on health and wellbeing may accumulate over time.”

  I don’t think it’s even out of the question that the study actually supports the opposite conclusion, but all of this of course doesn’t matter since there was a massive confounding variable involved in that there was a global pandemic going on during the study.

  I’m very happy I started hedging early in my career by saving a very large fraction of my income. Working in tech has been excellent for me, but there’s never been any guarantee that this will last forever. At that point, I will probably be ready to live off my savings, should that become necessary. Then it doesn’t really matter what any market looks like - I will be able to do whatever I feel like during the days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’d be likely to be a root cause in that case.

  Losing a significant amount of weight stopped my snoring, and cured my sleep apnea.

  It’s hard to lose weight for someone else though, so I’d suggest picking up a pair of comfortable ear plugs and learning to sleep with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not the only cause, but it is a significant one to be kept in mind.

  As a counter-anecdote, I used to snore badly - to the point of having sleep apnea that required treatment using a CPAP - and losing weight cured this state (BMI 32 -> 23 with slightly more muscle mass at the lower weight).

  Why can’t you compile Swift outside of MacOS

  You can compile Swift on Windows and Linux. There are other tools required to build macOS and iOS-apps bundled with XCode that prevents building those on other platforms, but Swift itself is available standalone.

  I believe that was implemented for people getting the mobile version after having played on another platform and not wanting to unlock everything again?

  But yeah, you can certainly go that route, making it all mechanics and no numbers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is looking for a new video game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Largely mechanics, apart from the need to unlock jokers.

  Fun for a game so centered around numbers to not actually be numbers
