- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 4 days ago:
At least in some countries authors get a compensation every time their book is borrowed from a library. So you might still be indirectly supporting the author when borrowing from a library. Also if there’s enough demand, the library may acquire additional copies and the prices for libraries are higher than for consumers.
- Comment on You just want a break sometimes 2 weeks ago:
I wish it would just be these small scale maintenance tasks with clear purpose and results. But instead it’s endless uncertainty and insecurity about your health and job and finances where you never know if you have done enough or if your efforts even matter. Keep grinding every day just to be rug pulled by something you could not have anticipated or have no control over. Descaling coffee machine is simple and rewarding: you see a problem, you have the means to address the problem, you do the thing and you have the satisfaction of a job done also reaping the benefits immediately.
- Comment on Power isn't energy. The difference matters more than you may know. | Technology Connections 2 months ago:
Notice the absence of division. It’s not watts per hour, but watt(s times)hours. So power multiplied by time which is energy. Just like the video explains.
Watts are analogous to velocity, so if you were to divide watts by time, the result would be the increase of power i.e. acceleration of energy consumption.

- Comment on Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds 1 year ago:
So… If the Unity’s secret spyware and algorithm suddenly decides to count an update as a new installation, you suddenly get slapped with a huge bill. Especially if you release multiple small patches and your whole player base is counted multiple times.
