- Sounds awful, though. Maybe we should get more widespread usage for IPv6 instead.
- It doesn't. And you shouldn't install Arch on your grandma's computer.
- For learning vim, I recommend searching for a "vim cheat sheet" that has an image of a keyboard layout with vim commands in it and printing that. Makes it easier to check and learn more, little by little.
Another one is online tutorials that make you practice interactively. Haven't used those much but the little I did, it was helpful.
- I'm running NixOS on some of my hosts, but I still don't fully commit to configuring everything with nix, just the base system, and I prefer docker-compose for the actual services. I do it similarly with Debian hosts using cloud-init (nix is a lot better, though).
The reason is that I want to keep the services in a portable/distro-agnostic format and decoupled from the base system, so I'm not tied too much to a single distro and can manage them separately.
- I don't think that makes 100 / 100 the most likely result if you flip a coin 200 times. It's not about 100 / 100 vs. another single possible result. It's about 100 / 100 vs. NOT 100 / 100, which includes all other possible results other than 100 / 100.
- I'm sorry, but try what once? 200 flips once?

That's not true, though?
- I'm not sure where you're going with this, but since they have actually researched how it grows, I think it's more likely your calculations/assumptions are incomplete.
For example:
> Energy needed to grow 1g of microbial biomaterial
based on what?
Edit: Maybe you meant that radiation alone wouldn't be enough for that growth, so there'd be other components that it's helping with.
- There wasn't much about the energy equation there. And since it's just conversation with Gemini just pasted here, I'm not sure how much to trust it and it just feels lazy and disjointed.
- When I was younger, I worked doing sales and customer service at a mall. Mostly approaching people and trying to pitch a product. Didn't pay well, was very easy to get into and do, but I don't enjoy that kind of work (and many people don't enjoy programming and would actually hate it) and it was temporary anyway. I still feel like that was much easier, but more boring.
- Sure, it's mostly comfy and well-paid. But like with physical labor, there are jobs/projects that are easy and not as taxing, and jobs that are harder and more taxing (in this case mentally).
- > programmers should be some of the most worry-free individuals on this planet, the job is easy, well-paid, not a lot of health drawbacks...
I don't know what kind of work you do but this depends a lot on what kind of projects you work on
- Recently noticed that YouTube had also removed the button for disabling autoplay if you're not logged in. The enshittification continues.
- Sure, but that's also why I asked you explain your comment.
- Well what? Don't most servers run Linux? And support is good assuming you pick a distro that fits
- Thanks for the context. I don't really know the Taiwan situation well.
My main gripe was mostly around the perceived reasoning that ethnicity or culture of some people would make it more okay to try to annex, or invade, anything.
> When it comes to Japan in particular, the deepest desire in many Chinese hearts is for Japan to start a war first—so China can finally settle the historical score once and for all. But even in that scenario, turning Japan into “part of China” is not on the table.
From GP. That is also a bit worrying to me. Who decides what's the fair "historical score"? But mostly, people shouldn't desire for war or use past wars as a reason for new wars. This is more complicated than ethnicity or culture, but it's dangerous and people should just learn to let go or it never stops.
False flag attacks are a thing and have been used many times as a pretext for an attack. Russia has done it. Russia also often uses history as an excuse for new wars. I'm sure it's always possible to dig out some rationalization. The result is mostly more suffering of innocent (who might not have even been born during the cited conflict).
- I don't claim to know the Taiwan situation well. I'm just saying that culture or ethnicity of people isn't a sufficient argument in general.
And for basic web sites, it's much better if it requires no back-end.
Every service exposed increases risk and requires additional vigilance to maintain. Which means more effort.
