Is it not possible that different people will have an easier or harder time understanding different kinds of concepts? Maybe IQ favors a particular type of "non-visual" thinking. Or maybe IQ is just another pile of bullshit from the field of physchology.
That's a good point, but I would ammend it slightly - Android might turn out to be a net boon for Linux enthusiasts in the next few years. I'm definitely super excited, but I still feel like the mobile Linux ecosystem is still not quite there just yet.
Millions of people are using Linux via Android and Chrome OS, but I'm not sure the success of either of those has benefited the general Linux ecosystem in a meaningful way. I think the Steam Deck will be a similar situation. It's cool that it's Linux-based, but I suspect most users will just think of it as a Valve product and not really care about the internals.
This prompted me to search "banana beer", and apparently in some East-African countries there are beers where banana is the main ingredient in the actual mash.
Just looking at UI, though, I think the trend actually favors Linux. GNOME and KDE have made pretty huge strides in the past few years in terms of general usability and polish. Meanwhile I feel like every Mac OS and Windows update elicits nothing but complaints.
A similar thing to 2) is probably the reason seemingly every product is priced $x.99. Everyone is probably aware that's basically the same as $(x + 1).00 but when you're on auto-pilot maybe you still feel like the former is a meaningfully better deal. I mean, it must work given how common the practice is.
You can install apt / dpkg (or dnf / rpm, pacman, portage, nix, ...) on pretty much any distro. You are really just asking why there's no de-facto standard package manager for C like there is for those other languages.
I mean if there was a critical bug in the solidity compiler itself that would put the correctness of pretty much every contract into question, right? It seems like a fork would be hard to argue against in that case.
I wonder, though, if people who attempt and fail suicide are more likely to be the ones doing it impulsively after a psychiatric episode or other major emotional setback. If someone has thought it through and genuinely wants to die I suspect they would have a better chance of succeeding.
As someone who has never used go, the third example feels counter-intuitive to me. I would expect a, b := 4, 2; to be equivalent to a := 4; b := 2; is there a reason it was done this way?
Even encouraging people to reduce beef consumption in favor of pork or chicken would have a pretty significant impact, and that's a lot less drastic of a lifestyle change than going fully vegan. Although from an animal welfare perspective it might not be desirable - a lot more chickens need to suffer to produce the same amount of meat as one cow for instance.
The newer ones (Beyond, Impossible) are a lot closer nutritionally to beef than the older style of veggie burgers that were mostly bean-based in my experience. Those could still be pretty good for what they were, but not really comparable to beef.
Do you mean that as a counterpoint to the parent? These products seem to generally be targeting wealthier consumers. I wonder if China did face a shortage of animal protein, they could avoid some of the political unrest by marketing plant-based alternatives as being more desirable, like these US companies are trying to do (with reasonable success, it seems).
A first-person perspective avoids some of the issues discussed in the video, like camera placement. I imagine it's also easier to animate if you only need to worry about the player's hand and lower arm.
Also, think about what a waste of talented peoples' time this represents. Probably many person-hours are spent implementing these increasingly sophisticated DRM systems, and then many more trying to crack them, rendering all of it completely pointless.
Morally of course I agree, I think the parent was wondering if this technically violates copyright law, though. It seems like it might if WaterBear doesn't have the right to distribute their content in your country for whatever reason.
I have no actual data, but I strongly suspect that recent content accounts for the majority of piracy. Just look at the seeder count for, say, The Mandalorian compared to the original Star Wars.
When I'm compiling a big project, I'll often go read some emails or whatever and listen for the fans on my PC to quiet down again to know when it's done. It's actually become a pretty important part of my workflow lol.
