You can put that movie straight in the pool room.
I would not have picked there of all places but the quiet nights there would make for a good background of silence to emphasise the flights. Have you considered Davenport? :D No flights but endless shipping going on.
Seeing as the businesses in the south end have practically died over the last few years - they can redevelop there rather than the park lands. ;) The park lands and the botanical gardens are an absolute treasure that…
I used to work for a supplier for Aldi Aus. They used to treat suppliers really well while they were in the growing stage. Once growth slowed they relied on the manufacturer to take up more of the pricing slack. It is…
The daily routine until you get sick and die - that is true but there is something special in that in that it is just the way we are. Why should we expect anything more?
Another way to see it is that while we are so small and irrelevant - enjoy the fact that we are irrelevant and yet we get all this. Add to this the scale of time - just remember that in 500 million years after all…
Too me it isn't terrifying - it is exhilarating and liberating. We are just some crazy thing that happened - enjoy it regardless of what it all is.
I like that people are seeing this as 8 years from now when the original bet was from 2003. That there is still a reasonable chance that this could happen by 2030 and by that point was predicted 27 years in advanced. It…
There are four stages of identifying and use of a resource. Theoretical quantity - That would be the 20ppm as you said. Based on knowledge and estimates. Identified reserves - How much of this stuff do we actually know…
Although it is still an issue. While the resource is everywhere, the technology for extraction is still in a specific vulnerable position. Once we have the extraction capabilities elsewhere - then is is a non-issue. The…
His nickname was 'Mr Cloud' for a good reason. Finally got what he wanted.
The Nvidia thing is funny to me. I have never had any issues with them on Linux - NOW that said - my hardware is typically about 5 years behind so all the kinks have been ironed out. Being the computer scrap man I am…
They have also said they would implement a rating system of how well proton will run various games. From 'Perfect' all the way down to 'unplayable'. I think it was their quiet way of saying they couldn't meet the…
Tesla has dog mode. Starlink has cat mode.
I like the way you think here. Less is more. Using less allows the rest to do more. "When you speak, it is silent. When you are silent, it speaks" - Zen Koan
In that sense, Steam is not tied to a single hardware platform. They are a bit more platform agnostic and that means they can keep moving with the times. Steam doesn't require a custom steam PC using proprietary…
There is the book on this called 'Subprime Attention Crisis' by Tim Hwang that tries to argue this point. It is only partially successful in its goals of saying the sky is falling. The overall message I came away with…
In technology, one step is innovation, two steps ahead is a martyr. This is a great example.
Years back when I lived in South Morang, they would go house to house digging through the rubbish bins. Even if you put bricks on the lids, they would team up to topple them off and get the lid open. Nowadays I live a…
Normally I would be against a proposal like this. However looking at the history and state of the Salton sea - we cannot make it any worse. This looks like a win-win situation.
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." - Frank Herbert (Dune)
I think it baffles me that there is enthusiasts that will defend either side as an absolute. I mean I get it, people tend to fall into tribal thinking. But sometime you have to take a step back and remember that these…
This is something that a lot of folks seem to not understand. Usually when there is a leak of proprietary software, most others developers that are working on similar programs (both open and closed) will try to distance…
The 286 was a little before my time, although I did spend a lot of time in the early 90's hacking on a 8086. It is always amazing to me that even in the 80's, Unix used to be considered an astoundingly heavy handed OS.…
This is why I ended up moving over to Linux many years back. I had run it on an off since about 1998 but about 5 years back there, I had blown away my install of Windows and for reason in particular I simply never…
