But in SI you can easily (and metrically) translate it to volume/s, which would then probably be less cumbersome.

I am sure, I can download the gif from the source and play it fine.

Good point, I’m editing now

You fundamentally misunderstand Occams Razor. In the choice even between classified satellites and classified satellites with weapons, the former clearly has fewer presuppositions.

Show us evidence, until then it’s just a conspiracy theory.

If only there was a way to track objects in orbit, boosts with payloads, or maybe even look at them through a telescope…

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you are wrong in believing it when there’s no evidence and plenty of ways to get it.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Lol. Check your privilege.

A. Do a carbon footprint analysis of your life, if it’s above 2,5 tons coe/year you’re a net burden on the planet. My country is as well, although considerably lower than the US.

B. It is possible for you to be a paragon of environmentalism and still live in a country with inefficient systems for water, infrastructure, zoning, industry and food production. Not to mention live in a culture of unsustainable lifestyle. Many Chinese or Indian persons are simply too poor to have a major impact on the environment, but their national industrial practices drive up the average pollution to levels comparable to the US (although still lower). Most US people aren’t as poor, and also have shitty industry standards, and also the means to change that without losing your standing internationally.

C. Multiple countries are shitty, in fact most of the non-developing world countries are a net burden.

D. As opposed to the other countries at the top, the US has had the economy, data, and access to resources to be able to something about it for generations, whereas most have had half the time and considerable need of modernising.

E. The US is much larger than the other countries, and could with quite simple measures make great impact and help pressure other great polluters.

Graphene, the superconductor hoax, the quantum electron model all would like to disagree.

Even though you might not need to calculate anything with it, it certainly applies in your daily life. (although the electron model maybe mostly for high school students)

It’s always worthwhile to learn new things!

And programming is a tool, so it’s typically made to be clear how to use it, although of course people will differ on what needs to be clarified the most.

My experience is that there’s way too much discussion in what tool to pick, it doesn’t matter that much and almost all of the common languages will allow you to do all the things. And even though some will be better adapted for certain applications, it’s easy to pick up the new tool when relevant, and you’ll be that much ahead by being well versed in one.

As for how to learn, I find that you kind of need to figure out the basic syntax in each language (loops, conditionals, output, memory management, typology, lists, function calling, maybe classes/libraries if you’re fancy), and then start doing projects.

A nice intro for C# is the C# Player’s Guide by R B Whitaker, using some gamification and storytelling to get you through the basics, and even leave you prepared to tackle your first projects (by practicing design philosophy, how to break down projects, etc).

Otherwise, Python is a lot of fun, it’s made to be very easy to jump into, and then it’s fully featured to do anything you’d like it to. Unfortunately all my resources for it are in my local language, but it has many many users so I’m sure there’s great resources to be found in your own language.

I’m comfortable saying yes to that

Notice how the US is among the largest polluters per capita by quite the margin.

This is such an understated but useful description in this context. It’s also how I understood algebra for applied matrix computation.

Many phones have “Do not disturb”-mode, or even airplane mode.

You can also go into the settings and disconnect from your mobile provider if you really want peace and quiet.

I don’t know where you’re at, but around here there are stores with refurbished phones, where you can play with last year’s models, and buy them at low-mid range prices. Sometimes they have 2-3 year old phones at a steal, some of the online ones have generous return policies as well, where you can try it for a bit and then send it back.

I’ve had Samsung androids for over a decade, and they’ve had smoother animation and less loading lag since about iPhone 4 (which I’ve used for work in the same period). They’ve also had comparable feedback on presses.

Then again, the HTC androids I’ve tried occasionally have been real bad, so I get the question.

You shouldn’t have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.

Wow, quality post here, with tons of tips, care, love and tough love.

Thank you thebardingreen, you are a credit to all of Lemmy.

Bah, the universe is too messy and disordered to be worth the trouble

Woo! Same here

I can confirm that this doesn’t work for me either. I’m using cards view.

Would love for this to be fixed, this and read on scroll would help my doom scrolling massively!
