What's apm?

Fair enough :)

Sure you can, but you need to adjust your position due to centrifugal forces all the time. A time machine would have to do that as well.

If a ball is flying in a straight line through space with a speed of 1m/s I can predict without much math where it will be at any point in time. In fact, if the reference frame is chosen such that the ball is stationary you don't need any math at all, because the ball doesn't move!

However, if you have a set of two balls orbiting each other you will always have to do math to calculate their position. I mean technically you could choose the reference frame that is rotating in sync with the balls. But still you need to do math to check that the centrifugal force, which is a real force coming from nowhere in this reference frame, exactly cancels out the gravitational pull between the two balls. Because rotating reference frames are not equivalent to each other!

Yeah, it was French, British, American and Russian (USSRian) at that point!

Rotational reference frames are out though! (Unless you want to deal with magic forces acting on your masses)

And since the earth rotates around itself and the sun, and the sun rotates around the center of the galaxy, you will always have to deal with a moving target.

Actually for me the conclusion from my math was that it's surprisingly possible to get millions of light years away from earth with just time travel. As such I consider the meme to be scientifically accurate.

Seeing earth as a lava planet or the primordial soup of life would be pretty sick!

Earth moves with somewhere between 230-500km/s, long term average should be 370 km/s

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth

The solar system and earth formed 4.6 billion years ago.

That means the solar system travelled 3.45-7.67 million light-years (5.67 for the average speed) since then.

That plural form (millions of light years) is borderline, but actually not incorrect.

The video has a short section on productivity (i.e. rendering or compiling). That part is probably the most relevant for most people. Check the chapter view in YouTube to jump directly to it.

I think a 2x performance improvement is plausible when comparing non-soldered ram to the Apple silicon, which goes even further and has the memory on the die itself. If, of course, ram is the limiting factor.

The advantages of upgradable, expandable ram are obvious. But let's face it: most people don't need and even less use that capability.

In science, especially math, all the famous scientists lived long ago. Newton, Euler, etc.

In computer science only the very pioneers are dead already. A lot of groundbreaking work was done by people who are still alive, or even still in working age.

It's so weird!

I understand the scepticism, but without links of what you've found or which parts in particular you consider dubious claims (ram speed can be increased when soldered, higher speeds lead to better performance, etc) it comes across as "i don't believe you, because i choose to not believe you"

LTT has made a comparison video on ram speeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WFetQjifc

Do you need proof that soldered ram can be made to run faster?

Forget population and generations. 25% of people just leaving an area will lead to a massive economic downturn.

I'm pretty sure when searching with AI the model gets told "here are five articles about

Why was that downvoted, it's true.

Backing out of a parking spot is comparatively dangerous, because you can't see if anyone is approaching from the side.

Eh, I did alias cat to bat, it fd is just easier to type and a million times better than find.

I mean, you can make the exact same argument the other way round.

My bed is made with boards of 27mm thickness. One third of that would be 9mm. Easy.

Also if you need precision, calipers go down to 50um (micrometer), 1/20th of a mm.

How standardized is the accounting anyway? Does the US Army Corps of engineers count as military spending? Because in most countries that budget would be categorized as civil infrastructure work and not be affiliated with the military in any way.

I feared as much, because the same could be said about your comment above.

I already mentioned git send-email in my comment. But the ux of that is terrible. So if you want good UX you're in account hell, having to create a new profile for every hosting site.

You can have a nice, terms of service free but read only forge, or you have terms of service and account bullshit or you can have the dev experience of git send email. Choose one of the three and until we have federation they are all terrible in some aspect.

Would you call that open source? A read only gitea instance?

If you want to get away from GitHub a mirror won't cut it, it has to be the main dev platform.

Yes, but how are you gonna accept pull requests? You need a frontend and a frontend needs an account.

Of course, all of these alternative forges (gitea, forgejo, gitlab) can be self hosted on your own private server.

Fair enough. Dithering would still be an option though. But if it's not done I agree there can be visible stripes in some cases.

Also I wanted to apologize for the negative wording in my above comment. That was uncalled for, even if I think HDR is totally not worth it at the moment.
