Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!

With all the impacts the moon seems to take, is there any footage of a new crater being made? That would be super cool to see.

The idea behind the heliosphere and all its related parts are really interesting. Something about a giant space bubble/teardrop flying through the galaxy that blows my mind. Learning about termination shock and the sink basin example really gave off this weird sense of cosmic grandeur that can be somewhat replicated on earth. As above so below kinda thing.

I switched over to Proton from Gmail about 8-10 months ago and it’s been great so far. Folders and filters have been like what I was used to. The only thing I haven’t played around with much is calendar and invites.

I ended up going for the whole proton bundle since it included the vpn, storage, and custom domains (up to 10 addresses I think)

This is crazy and scary. I had no idea a system like that existed.

At my last company, we used the scaled TBD. For personal projects I do the same. It’s honestly really nice. Not having to worry about merging issues between a dev branch and main branch was probably the biggest benefit. The code base also felt more accessible to the team. Cherry-picking a particular commit that a teammate worked on that’s been merged but I needed on my feature/bug branch was also painless.

Mainly about asteroids, their trajectories, and potential composition but from a slightly fictional perspective. I want to make certain things accurate and believable while still getting a little creative.

Kinda looks like a fox face with a cheese hat. Would definitely still destroy this though.

I understand your point. But science has also shown us over time that things we thought were magic were actually things we can figure out. Consciousness is definitely up there in that category of us not fully understanding it. So what might seem like magic now, might be well-understood science later.

Not able to provide links at the moment, but there are also examples on the other side of the argument that lead us to think that maybe consciousness isn’t fully tied to physical components. Sure, the brain might interface with senses, consciousness, and other parts to give us the whole experience as a human. But does all of that equate to consciousness? Is the UI of a system the same thing as the user?

Consciousness might not even be “attached” to the brain. We think with our brains but being conscious could be a separate function or even non-local.

That’s for that link. I had no idea the black circle was even a screen. Neat device!

How does it work?

I absolutely love Beksiński’s art. It has like a post-apocalyptic, Prometheus, surrealist blend that I’m all for. And his use of orange is a chefs kiss.

Wtf… do you need a hug?

I think the same can be said for a lot of fields. E.g., just because someone’s an excellent architect doesn’t make them a good animator by default.

There’s also so many variations on the types of programming. Maybe a mathematician might be better suited for data science rather than frontend stuff. And even then, each person is different and has their own set of skills part from whatever their formal training is.

What I think makes good programmers is having the ability to bash your head against your desk while debugging, but still walking away at the end of the day loving the job and problem solving. Persistence and creativity go a long way in programming.

I tend to judge burgers by their cover, aka their bun. That bun looks perfectly made with just the right amount of butteriness and softness.

I have some answers that might help but there’s a few pieces that I need to write out on something other than mobile. Will reply back in a day or so.

You could actually use Backblaze for both scenarios: as a normal cloud storage where you can access stuff back n forth or for long term backups and storage.

I use Duplicacy to copy and encrypt my main folders once a week. But you can set schedules for backups as you wish. Depending on how much you’re backing up it may get a bit pricey though. I have a little under a couple terabytes backed up and pay around $6 for Backblaze. They have a client I’ve never used that might be helpful as well.

One thing I wanna look into is using Duplicacy to also back up really important documents to my proton storage.

Seconded. Subscribed to it a month ago in my mission to cut my dependence on Google products. So far I’m loving it. Calendar is a bit basic but it is encrypted.

Between the 500gb provided with the proton suite and using backblaze for backups, I’m pretty covered with data.

That Vitamin D lamp is a great touch. Gives the feeling people don’t go outside anymore, or get sunlight.
