The world had subtlety agreed on a different standard (mico usb) when apple decided to do decide to switch to a proprietary one (lightning)

Granted, micro Usb is shit, but switching to a proprietary standard is worse as you force everyone to have something different.

Were lightning not proprietary, I could definitely see it overcomming micro usb everywhere

Sure, but sometimes, the errors people commit are idiotic and repeated errors are a sign of non attention.

Yesterday, I was at a restaurant chain, and there were two burguers on the menu (more than that but these two are important)

• The famous burger
• The super famous burger

I asked for a famous burger, I heard the lady taking my order muttering 'super famous' so I clarified with her, The regular famous, not the super famous, she said "yes, yes."

I thought this was over when low and behod she arrives with a super famous, wich is 5€ more.

So I told her I did not order a super famous, but a regular famous and to her credit, she didn't contradict me on that. I asked her to communicate that to the people at the register to make sure I wouldn't pay for a super but a regular, but offered to still take the order as that would have been thrown out otherwise, but also said that if they wanted to change it to match what I ordered, I would be fine with it too. In the end no food was wasted (except for a couple of fries, the super has two steaks compared to the regular and my regular sized stomach can't fit that).

When I got to pay, the people at the register weren't aware of the mistake, but still changed the price to the refular famous when they saw who took my order, and someone (probably a manager from the way she said that) ranted about 'her again'

Overhaul, the people have been very accomodating of their mistake and I was glad we were able to solve that without my bank account taking a hit or food being wasted.

But

• I had clarified that I wanted the regular and not the famous
• she apparently makes repeated mistakes
• she didn't communicate her mistake to her superiors

People make mistakes yes and that's fine, but you can't excuse all of them away

In 20 years: +2°C is unavoidable, +3°C would require the whole world to reduce the emissions by as much as the covid crisis did... Each year.

Even if the best political minds come to term with that and take actions, I don't see us stopping. I don't see us capping at 3, nor at 4. Nor at 6.

Btw, on my device you sent the message -110min ago, not 110, -110

Welcome, traveler from the future

Swamp cooler, they do work, but raise the humidity, which might cause increased mold growth

Yeah, sad thing is we are already signed up for the next 20 years, as in even if we stopped emitting everything tomorrow, we would still have +2°C in 20 years...

And how realistic is stopping everything tomorow?

+3°C.. we would need to have a new coronavirus crisis every years, not just a new one, but stack them on top, in terms of emissions. Ofc you can't have more then one global confinement at a time (doesn't make sense to double confine someone) so that wouldn't even work.

We. Are. Fucked.

Same thing as people arguing about their golf clubs, pointless yes, but distracting...

Most people in the distro wars know it's pointless and that a tool is a tool, but measuring dicks is as old as humanity and when flipping your dong out wasn't deemed appropriate anymore, people started arguing about distros

You can actually bump it up to 256 or 512 without a huge perf drain depending on your setup, distant horizon doesn't use the normal game renderer... You do give up shaders for it...

I think the problem is that they are trying to teach math to generalists where in front of them are students formed to understand programmatical problems.

Where the problems be restructured to a programatical problem, then it would work far far better.

Mathematical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with 1 given set of parameters, programatical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with ANY given sets of parameters.

And that's what made me loose interest in math during my CS years.

I personally love the screen ratio
