Oh no a massive time sink
(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don’t want to waste months of my life, so I’m considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012…)
I guess that analogy was the coelacanth of lemmy comments. Extinct.
You are being downvoted as if your point was offensive or harmful. You are wrong, but it’s totally counter intuitive and I think this is a mistake that everyone makes when studying introductory physics. This would be correct for anything moving at relatively low speeds. But when you’re talking about light, or anything that goes so fast that “percentage of the speed of light” starts being a useful unit to describe their speed, this concept starts being a bit weirder.
This is actually the basic principle of Einstein’s theory of relativity: the speed of light (in a vacuum) is the same for all observers, regardless of their frame of reference. That means that if the laser pointer emits a laser, the light is moving away from the pointer at the speed of light. If the pointer itself is moving at a speed reeeeeally close to the speed of light… Then the laser will STILL be traveling away from the pointer at the speed of light. And if you, an observer in a frame, see the pointer moving at near the speed of light emit a laser… The laser that the laser emitted is also traveling at the speed of light from your point of view.
And there’s no wordplay here. I don’t mean that it’s light, so of course any speed it travels at is the speed of light. I mean that if you measure its speed from any reference frame, you will get around 300000000 m/s, or around 671 million miles per hour. No matter if you are also traveling at near light speed.

I’m 30. Almost have a PhD.
Also playing video games and crying
AI will start hiding penises in its output, everybody loves it, you ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide, all peoples united by their love for hidden AI genitalia. Well done!
Play again?
Sounds interesting, I’ve never used copilot and I’m not a programmer by profession (I just write a few scripts here and there for data analysis or experiment control), but I’m interested in checking this out. Has anyone here tried it? I’m worried it’ll get in my way more often than it helps.
If the hedgehog has the seven chaos emeralds, it can still take on the boar even with the triforce of power.
If not, then it’s more of a toss up, but we should note that there is one registered instance of the hedgehog collecting triforce pieces so my bet would still be on the hedgehog.
It’s not like this makes up for everything else, but there is gravity on Mars
Not true at all, there were plenty of trains built on the Earth. The one on the moon will be far from the first.
Good to officially know the Switch will have a sucessor, by Nintendo’s silence I would not have been surprised if the Switch remained Nintendo’s main console until after the heat death of the universe!
“Where is Eris? Is it safe? Is it all right?”
“It appears that, in your anger… You classified it as a dwarf planet.”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Oh, I’m sure someone is going to hate me for this, but I really liked Lua when I was making simple games in Love2D. I think it’s a shame how there’s basically no applications for Lua outside of game development and modding.
How DARE you show me this meme when I should be writing my thesis
I once saw a website that claimed that the moon was a hologram. I guess it can still be that.
One of the theories was that the Moon was not always a hologram, but that it was destroyed (maybe in WW2?) and now the government keeps a projection of the moon to keep people from finding out.
Also all of the space exploration propaganda was faked. Here’s an amazing sentence that will never leave my mind: "Occam’s razor says the simplest explanation is most often the correct one. And what’s simpler: that the government spent millions of dollars, spent years doing research, with international collaborations on rocket science and astronomy, and then managed to get a manned rocket onto the moon… Or that it is all a conspiracy? ;) "
To be honest I naively assumed Nintendo not to be the type of company (… Or even competent enough) to implement the type of data mining that would impact performance lol
Sure, this makes sense for Minecraft, and the video itself only compared Minecraft (for fear of being struck by the Nintendo Ninjas, which is an interesting fear considering everything else in the video). I’d love to see if other games, like BoTW or Pokémon S/V, have similar performance enhancements.
Ah, yes, this makes a lot of sense and is something I had not considered. Great point.
As an extra advantage to the nose pinching trick, I no longer turn every dream into a nightmare from seeing my distorted figure in the mirror!
