Yes, potato chips are completely fine in that situation. I don’t know why people say they have too much salt. Sure, they have a lot, but when you have a cold, you’re supposed to drink a lot of water, so that balances out. You can lose a lot of salt due to sweating (especially if you have a fever) and peeing. And salt is a very important electrolyte. And the fat and starch gives you calories.
Gnome is great because of the large UI size. Like my 14" notebook has a roughly 2800x1600 screen resolution and it’s still pretty usable without any UI scaling. If the bars are an inch tall, you’re either using a huge TV or a screen from the garbage dump. Gnome really needs a modern system.
I think you would be fine for a long time if you drank old-style beer. Unfiltered, low alcohol content, some remaining sugar/starch and with lots of yeast, maybe some impurities that probably contain amino acids, vitamin b12 and other important stuff.
Java only has instanceof and getClass, not typeof.
I believe I read that it helps with lung development when the fetus is swimming in the water in the womb or something like that. But otherwise not really useful.
The article says that, but it’s from Bild, one of the worst German news sites/papers. Can’t really trust it. They’re constantly lying or pushing their own POV or create drama for no reason.
Some are, the intellij java community edition is even open source. The paid ones are not too expensive, I pay around 200€ yearly for the all products pack and that’s definitely worth it for a professional developer. If you are a student or open source developer, you can apply for free versions also.
In Skyrim you’re literally on foot and the world slowly expands around you and you become interested in it.
Yeah, and exploration wisey I prefer Oblivion even more. Skyrim feels smaller and less varied, and horses and other fast-travel options are cheaper and easier available.
Blue light gets scattered more by the atmosphere. So less blue light is received directly in a straight line from the sun and more is reflected from other parts of the sky. That’s also why the sky looks blue in the day and why the evening sky looks red (if the sun is very low during the evening, the blue light can’t reach you because it scattered so much due to the very long shallow way through the atmosphere)
A few years ago I had some respect for Musk because he build electric cars and quite revolutionary space ships. Funny how that’s now all gone now.
In spring, I put a few sprouting potatoes in the compost, waited a few month and since July or so I have a huge bucket of homegrown potatoes that I have problems to use up. So very easy food source. Can recommend. There were a few pill bugs/ potato bugs who love the taste of the plants, but their damage had not much effect on the harvest in the end.
So sites like pornhub now simply need to host two sfw items for every porn video?
So in this case, the declining birth rates caused by capitalism might protect us from the reckless growth caused by capitalism. Sounds great.
For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.
There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.
Yes, it’s very efficient and the core of what complession formats like .zip do.
The main difference to your idea is that computers count in binary like 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 and so on and that you don’t want to assign these very low codes words directly. Say you’d have assigned 1 the most common word, then that will would be encoded very short, but you’d sort of take the one away from all the other codes, as you don’t know if 11 is twice the most common word or once the 11th (3rd in decimal) common word.
Huffman essentially computes the most optimal word assignments mathematically.
The main other difference between your suggestion and most compression algorithms is that you wouldn’t use a huge dictionary in real time and loading it and looking into it would be very slow. Most compression algorithms have a rather small dictionary buildin and/or they build one on the fly looking at the data that they want to compress.
I always thought hdr was more of a preprocessing step to prevent clipping unrelated to display tech.
That’s tone mapping, HDR is actually having more than 8 bits and often also more colorful colours than normal. I think 10 bits are common.
It’s available, but they’re still US based and basically importing it, you don’t have proper EU customer protection or EU warranty* for example. I wouldn’t buy it just because of that.
* They give 2 years of warranty for their EU customers, but not EU wide as would be required if actually selling from the EU. You also have basically no chance to sue then or otherwise demand anything if they for some reason ignore your warranty claim.
Framework has some quality problems, not everyone is a fan of the keyboard, and it’s relatively expensive.
Tuxedo is quite good, but they often use stock Clevo models and customize them, so they might be cheaper and not that well designed than one by a “proper brand”.
Not sure about the rest.
There’s very little alternative if you want a ThinkPad style keyboard and track pad/trackpoint for the price of a used or older ThinkPad.
Interestingly, many stable diffusion models are trained on pictures of Asian people and thus often generate people that look more or less Asian if there’s no specific input or tuning otherwise. It’s all in the training data and tuning.
See for example here for reference.
Security is there to make sure you’re not carrying illegal stuff, as long as that’s fine, the only time they maybe check the id is before giving you the boarding pass.
Looks like the guy didn’t have a boarding pass altogether, so not sure how he got into the plane.
There is usually a person or an automatic gate that checks your pass before allowing you through the plane. However that’s more like a ticket check and to make sure people don’t get on the wrong planes, it’s probably not super hard to get around.
