IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.

I think it’s more likely that ppl will simply become the more expected way to spell it. When was the last time you saw someone write out etcetera, and ASAP is common in all but the most formal of settings.

it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term.

Seems like it’s pretty important we not burn through our finite reserves of it if we can help it. I’m not saying we should reach zero nuclear, but I don’t think we should be relying on it too much either.

so why not rm -rf folder/.git/* then rm -r folder/*

Nothing with a recent AMD gfx Card or APU will officially support S3, and I think Nvidia is the same. Just because it isn’t supported doesn’t mean they’ll intentionally break anything, but over time you’ll have more and more bugs related to it and one day it will break and never be fixed.

Personally I use S4 (hibernate) more or less exclusively.

I know people hate Linus tech tips and everything, but they have a great guide on how best to save wet hardware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNm2g4Tkf3E , skip to 30s if you don’t like their comedy

I think this is the only time excel hasn’t decided something was a date.

I think steam deck is a pretty good choice from that perspective.

1. There is little vendor lock in, you could upgrade from a deck to a competitor and so long as it uses steam you won’t really be missing out on anything

2. Valve has gone in pretty hard on repairability. so while it may become obsolete (and I don’t think it will for a while, Moores law isn’t what it used to be) it should still be able to run very far down the line.

3. The steam controller and ecosystem planned around it was a financial failure. While there were a hunch of enthusiasts into the steam controller (myself included) it never gained mainstream appeal. The steam machine that it was meant to synergize with did even worse. Otoh the valve index did pretty well and still is quite a popular pick if you wanna get into vr today despite being 5 yrs old, while vr wasnt as successful as i think some wanted (I blame meta for that!) It did carve out a niche for valve that helos there long term plans. The steam deck has been a run away success and also brings a big boost to a lot of valves long term strategies (decoupling from windows, competing with consoles, giving people a reason to stay on steam), and its already seen a refresh. I would be very surprised to not see a steamdeck 2, although it may be a while (valve has stated as much, because they want to make it easy for devs to target steam deck for recommended specs)

Yeah, doing something similar with brackets would be much more effective since that usually doesn’t give a line number. Is there a unicode clone of )?

A check has the same information as a basic account. Any sane company is probably storing it in the same backend too.

When I was in college I had a Playlist that Pavloved me into a state of calm, focus and short term memory retention. I played it before every exam and it helped a lot. I would play that Playlist.

Monero is still proof of work isn’t it, hard to call that ethical.

If you can tell the contribution is ai generated, it’s not good enough

IOT devices shouldn’t connect to wifi. ZWave or zigbee is much better suited to IOT stuff, but it seems to mostly get adopted in very limited, locked down proprietary shit like Hue Lights.

I like this graphic, some of my favourites:

git log --oneline is super useful for getting just a list of title of commits and nothing else

git bisect is a little known but extremely useful git archaeology command that automates binary searching for a regression.

ccan you link the higher wuality one here in a comment, I don’t think It’s propagated.

Yes but they also test the blood and will call you if they have reason to believe you are positive.

Hard to say without some indication of what sort of thing you’d like. Are you looking for something to just power trip and blow off steam, are you looking for strategy games that make you think, narrative experiences, dexterity/reaction time challenges etc etc etc? But knowing absolutely nothing here’s 3 good games:

Stardew Valley has native Linux support. It’s a game about farming. There’s not really any consequences for doing things slowly so take your time and enjoy the game.

factorio is a strategy game essentially about optimizing supply lines. Programmer types tend to find it extremely addicting.

Baulder’s gate 3 is a Turn based RPG based on Dungeon’s and Dragons. It may be a little difficult for beginners especially if you haven’t played DnD but it is also one of the best games to have come out recently having swept all the award shows for both it’s great story telling and run mechanics.

If there’s anyone in your life who really likes gaming asking them for games you can play together or that they can watch/guide you through would be a great idea.
