Aside from not having a big say in our software at work, I actually do need MS Excel a lot. I haven't found a free alternative that supports my VBA code without a really big hassle :(
I honestly think that content on YouTube has gotten better and better. Not the systems of YouTube, mind you, just the stuff that people create. But maybe that's because in the last year or so I've been watching and discovering a lot more educational YouTubers (think Tom Scott, Münecat, Real Engineering, etc). among the exclusively funny stuff.
I knew I wasn't just imagining things. I like to listen to music on YouTube when driving to work. And sure, the internet reception there is spotty (danke, Merkel), but for a couple weeks now I've consistently had a very long "buffering" period every time the next video/song loaded up.
Well, joke's on them. I found out about NewPipe and its built-in video/audio downloader, because I complained to an acquaintance about it.
Having a pet you can walk outside is a great way to get to know other people who also have pets they walk outside. And most of the time, they will like their pet, so that gives some nice common ground to start conversation from.
Personally, I met about 90% of our acquaintances from this town and the one we lived in before through walking our dogs regularly and talking to other people who often also were walking their dog(s) regularly.
So SteamDeck, Valve Index and pushing back against the short-term money maker that was NFTs until half a year or so, among other things, aren't scary enough projects when you're "just" a game developer and distributor?
Oh yes, I did read that sentiment elsewhere, too, and that's pretty much the only way I can get behind the weird/nonsensical chemistry. It's just a bit unfortunate that the reveal of the simulated (and melting reality) is explained only a couple dozen hours into the story. So I feel for the (admittedly small) subset of players who wrongly learn that this is how chemistry works before being able to make the mental leap that it's possibly intentionally this weird and unrealistic.
I know I'm arguing a completely different issue here than what the article/post is about, but if a call is so important that you can't take it after your drive, then maybe the prudent thing would be to halt the car and take the call without sacrificing your own and others' safety due to the loss in focus.
Do you think it could help your social anxiety if you were playing a character different from yours?
I'm thinking about honing your networking skills under the guise of being in cosplay and in character at conventions. Once that went well a couple times, you could slowly transition to less and less cosplay character and more your general self? Just spitting ideas while on the toilet at work hah
Eh, could be better. Just today I saw that the bakery I often go to won't open on Saturday due to some tragic loss. I haven't seen one of the usual staff there in a while. I don't want to ask about it and she is/was(?) somewhat young so it could just be a coincidence and she found a different/better job and that PSA wasn't about her.
Definitely the opposite of making life easier but I love the stone mortar and pestle I got. I'm using it regularly not only to grind up spices like pepper or basil, but I also make pesto for pasta or rice dishes.
Ugh, I used to highly defend Israel like a decade ago. And I thiiink back then the IDF was much less hostile in their actions plus "Pallywood" was much more prominent. Now it seems that many Israelis have become radicalised and the stuff that was faked by Hamas and other terror organisations has just become actual truth.
I'm eagerly awaiting an answer here. Every time I read "Gaming on Linux is already pretty good!" the further instructions read to me like having to write your own game engine (straight up incompatibility of some games aside).
I'm willing to fuck around with Linux on a similar difficulty to tinkering with somewhat hard to install mods or slightly difficult Windows troubleshooting (such as tinkering with individual registry entries or editing .ini files).
Mhmm, although I can easily imagine it being representative of gamers who are interested enough in science to take part in surveys.
Speculation: It could be roughly okay to extrapolate the results to the greater NMS community, because their sample size and variety seems to mostly correlate to the age and geographic location of the gaming communities in USA, Brazil and Europe (the bulk of their respondents). Without knowing the actual numbers, I can imagine most of the NMS players sit in those three regions and with about a 2:1:1 ratio.
I watched it just yesterday and even though the maths gets over my head sometimes (especially here when she demonstrates the analytical solution with the Schrödinger equation thing), she's really good at explaining these concepts.
The only thing I didn't quite understand, and maybe I just didn't pay attention in the video: If electrons aren't particles but waves, what does it mean for an atom/molecule to have x electrons? Are "two electrons" just a more intense wave than "one electron"? And this electron wave... wouldn't it constantly change its position due to it being a wave (stuff needs to move to create waves, right?) or is that what physicists are talking about when they say the probability of the electron to be at location y?
My gf and I already went to a horror convention and I think that's all the dress up we'll do this year. Was fun though! She went as a pretty spooky (and pretty, in a fucked up way) demon-possessed woman. Had latex-wounds across her face and neck and a horn coming out of her forehead. I went as an imp-something. Painting my entire body purple-red took about four hours. Also fake earrings on both of us and I, too, had a horn out of my forehead on the opposite side than my girlfriend. Also also, we both wore very well made vampire teeth.
