park: 10km (but there are hiking trails within 1km)
train (metro) station: 5km
library: 5km
long distance train station: 20km
my dad’s daily commute when I was growing up: 140km (that’s 140km each way, 5 days a week. 1200km of commuting each week. He did this with a combination of car, bike, and train. It took him about 3 hours each way.)
Note that a lot of the roads don’t have sidewalks so even if you want to walk it can be kinda dangerous depending on time of day.
Based on cities I’ve lived in:
convenience store: 300m
chain supermarket: 800m
bus stop: 500m
train (metro) station: 1km
park: 1.5km
library: 1.5km
big supermarket: 2.5km
long-distance train station: 2.7km
my current commute: 3km
The cities tend to be a lot more walkable, but you still need to take the car or train to get to things like by the bigger (and cheaper) supermarket and other stores. The train is slow and unreliable (sometimes it’s faster to walk than take the train) so cars are much more popular.
It’s not separate builds, but the App Store already checks your location when you access it, and it uses that location data along with other hints you are under EU jurisdiction to decide whether to allow you to sideload or not.
Or you can use the developer tools to perform a more limited form of sideloading in any country.
This was a boss fight in the DLC. It was very cool! The DLC in general felt a lot more cinematic than the main game. However, that does mean it felt a lot more linear in most levels.
Hmm maybe I’ll look into it again. The concern had something to do with having to spoof a serial number. I own Final Cut and would love to have the beefy GPU and CPU in my desktop accelerate it, but also am very afraid of losing my main account with that and a lot more. Already my current workflow is to render on my old MacBook as uncompressed, then transfer it to my desktop and use FFMPEG to compress. Better results and much faster than trying to have my MacBook do any sort of video compression.
Inkscape is for vector graphics, GIMP is for pixel graphics. You probably want to use a combination of both for many situations (design the logo in Inkscape, touch it up and scale it in GIMP).
From my experience, GIMP is close to par with Photoshop in terms of both features and user friendliness. Inkscape is unfortunately much harder to use than Illustrator.
I got macOS running in a VM on my Linux desktop. But then I didn’t want to connect my main iCloud account because I have heard they may ban you if you they detect you are doing stuff like this.
Without an iCloud account I can’t really do the stuff I actually would want to use macOS for, like using Apple’s movie editing software, or making iPhone apps with XCode. The default mail app is nicer than any alternative for Linux I’m aware of, at least.
I’ve been to libraries where you can borrow music CDs, movie DvDs, and even games such as Nintendo Switch cartridges. My local library does DvDs but not the other stuff.
There's only one explanation for this staggering difference in maternal mortality
As much as I want to see data that demonstrates this, there is a very obvious other explanation for a staggering increase in maternal mortality in the years 2020 and 2021. And the mortality rate went down in 2022.
Keep following the data but also stay wary of clickbait.
They’ve made the correlation to race very clear though. But to show the effect of abortion bans, they need to compare between states with bans and states without bans.
AI code is designed to look like it fits, not be correct. Sometimes it is correct. Sometimes it’s close but has small errors. Sometimes it looks right but is significantly wrong. Personally I’ve never gotten ChatGPT to write code without significant errors for more than trivially small test cases.
You aren’t learning as much when you have ChatGPT do it for you, and what you do learn is “this is what chat gpt did and it worked last time” and not “this is what the problem is and last time this is the solution I came up with and this is why that worked”. In the second case you are far better equipped to tackle future problems, which won’t be exactly the same.
All that being said, I do think there is a place for chat GPT in simple queries like asking about syntax for a language you don’t know. But take every answer it gives you with a grain of salt. And if you can find documentation I’d trust that a lot more.
The difference between the SteamDeck and the PlayStation that makes the Steam Deck a “personal computer” is that you can run whatever software you want on a Steam Deck. SteamOS even comes with “desktop mode” which works much like you’d expect a desktop Linux OS to work. If you don’t like SteamOS, you can simply install a different OS.
