My ISP doesn’t support IPv6, now what?

It’s really bullshit.

You do realize most people charge at home? It doesn’t matter how long it takes when the car is just sitting there (you’ll even save time compared to driving to the gas station).

Manufacturers also give 7+ years warranty on batteries by now, but even after 10 years a battery doesn’t just break, you only lose a few percent of range (if this wasn’t already calculated into the buffer, depends on the car).

You do know EV sales stall because of that, right?

In what fantasy world are you living? EVs just hit an all-times sales record last year. This is for the US, but it’s similar all over the world:

Right now I could buy an EV with 520km range for 36k€. It’s rapidly getting better.

Are we? There’s still plenty of space for solar and wind. Including large battery installations for cities. It doesn’t really feel like we’re hitting a limit there anytime soon.

Those are all easily achievable goals, so definitely get started :)

I mean that’s what you get for writing the date wrong :)

Yes, but I was talking about the salary part, which is separate from the costs you mentioned.

It’s 19 million just for people.

Is it just me or is $19 million per year for 50 full-time employees insane?

Even for US salary standards.

If it’s an existing language then it’s not secure.

If you make up your own language you’ll waste a thousand hours and someone might use the notes you used to learn it.

Just use damn encryption, it’s easy and fast. Also has additional benefits. If someone wants to force you to give them/translate your notes you can’t do much (they’ll know when your translation is inconsistent).

With encryption you can hide a volume inside another one. If you enter the weaker password you can put decoy files there, with just your run of the mill notes. While behind a stronger password you hide your actual diary.

That’s stupid, any cypher you can keep in your head is easily cracked.

If you want privacy, look towards encryption. Get a cheap laptop without internet access, install whatever Linux distribution, then keep everything encrypted.

So all you need to keep in your head is your master password.

They usually use both. Client side and server side detection together.

The problem isn’t the check itself usually, but rather latency. If you shoot a player on your screen you want immediate feedback (client side), instead of waiting for a roundtrip to the server until the blood spatters.

There have been shooters where the server decides if a bullet lands. So on your screen you hit the player and then they suddenly survived. So most shooters switched to: If the client thinks it hit, it hit. Which does lead on the receiving end to running behind a wall and still dying. Overall it feels better than the alternative though.

The whole topic is pretty much game networking, it’s a balance between doing it correctly (server side, slow) and faking to get it close enough (client side, immediate, easier to cheat, unfair if the player is laggy).

Of course there are some server checks that are always easy: For example if a player teleports or moves around the map faster than possible? You can flag them for review or if it happens too often kick/ban them. As long as you’re super careful about automatic bans (bugs exist).

Sacrilege! You broke the template, third and fourth slide should be the same :)

No, I’m not stupid. Also technically everything you create on company time and/or company resources no longer belongs to you.

I did have a boss once (software development) who hosted his own website on the company servers. Not 100% sure if that was ever green lit by the CEO (maybe, maybe not). But I was really annoyed when the server had issues due to that private site, when I didn’t have access to the code to fix them.

I upvote as a marked as read function (:

Serious answer: With the climate crisis some areas in the world will become impossible to live in (look up wet bulb temperature). Now you have a massive amount of refugees who want to go somewhere else, if necessary by force.

When there’s suddenly millions of people pushing against country borders all it takes is a few shots and you have a war.

That’s why niche titles like Elden Ring or Baldurs Gates 3 totally flopped. Ah, wait…

20 lbs is 9.7% of your body weight. If you read the scale like you do math then I highly doubt you lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks.

Hell, I lost 20 lbs in 2 1/2 months (doing Keto, so still eating plenty of protein) and I still lost some hair as it was too quick. 20 lbs in 2 weeks is unbelievable, that would be 70,000 kcal of fat. While an average male uses around 2000 kcal a day, so that’s around 28,000 kcal in 2 weeks. It’s literally impossible, even if we say a handful of your pounds were water weight.

You still don’t get it? Your argument was most of them are druggies. But your own source says 2/3 of them have no drug problem at all.

As someone who just read over these comments: Your reading comprehension sucks.

Your own source says 1/3 of homeless have problems with alcohol/drugs. So 2/3 don’t.

Of those 1/3 with problems 2/3 have lifetime histories of drug or alcohol use disorders.

I thought about getting it (instead of Amazon Music), but now YouTube is already planning to raise the cost. So nah, I’m good.
