Learn how to count with Bill Gates
  • I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I don't mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.

    Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.

  • A cool guide to soldering
    1. It removes the oxide layer from existing surfaces so the solder sticks and flows better
    2. It increases surface tension of the liquid solder so you get a nice round shape and no whiskers and less bridges
    3. It helps distribute the heat a bit. It works a little bit like thermal paste, especially when the contact area between the tip and the pad/component is very small.

    Generally, flux is your friend and soldering without flux is terrible.

  • Removed
    Please, I'm new here: Is this normal?
  • I have no idea what your post was about, or why it would be related to autism. If I were a moderator, I'd probably also flag it or at least asked about it.

    I have no idea who or what Tull is and the rest sounds like some rambling about AI. Some context might help.

  • Russia must pay for Ukraine rebuild, Blinken says
  • After WW2 it was more like they split Germany into parts and "occupied" the remaining industry and workforce for reparations. There wasn't much of the original Reich left that could've paid reparations.

  • Companies are not your friend
  • The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it's not actually basic at all. It's a great full featured IDE)

    Basically you're only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

    It's not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.

  • A conversation with my wife
  • I'm not eating from the tip of my penis.

    Phimosis is completely physiological/natural for younger boys and actually helps to protect the head of the penis against infections.

    If it needs washing, you can just spray water from the shower head into the opening.

    But it's also kinda like the vagina for girls. It doesn't really need washing or special treatment unless it's infected.

    In any case, messing with the penis of your son and making them feel unhygienic or like their foreskin is a problem is likely much more damaging than a little bit of smegma.

  • Should I learn Docker or Podman?
  • They're pretty much the same. Use docker documentation for learning, but actually use podman, because it's nicer to use (doesn't require root, easier to install on many Linux distributions).

  • Why compost and residual waste are not together?
  • "compost waste" will usually be used as fertilizer. It depends on the region, but they'll often extract bio gas first and the residue will be further processed by machines and bacteria into compost or fertilizer.

    Other garbage will usually be burned and then buried. Maybe partially recycled. But completely different processes.

  • why don't people say mega meters
  • When measuring lengths and time, metric units are super useful. Micrometers, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters and Kilometres are easily and often converted in a lot of technical jobs.

    Same with nanoseconds, milliseconds and seconds when dealing with time in simulations or other computer programs (e.g. game development).

    Milliliters, Centiliters and Liters are commonly used in cooking.

    What's wrong with hectometers? I don't know how often they're used but dealing with a factor of 10 or 100 to the next "regular" unit (meters or kilometers) is no big deal.

  • If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
  • In the US cutting off the foreskin for phimosis or other minor issues is unfortunately very common (probably because "it's no big deal, many had it done") when using lube and careful stretching or just waiting would have been sufficient.

    Cutting off the offending part should always be the last option, e.g. in the case of cancer. We don't need an exception that cutting off e.g. a finger should be only done if medically necessary. That's obvious. It should be the same here. Otherwise you're just creating a loop hole.

  • What's your go-to lazy meal when you need to eat but don't feel up to cooking?
  • Super lazy? Random bread/toast with store bought hummus.

    A little bit cooking is okay? Then pasta with olive oil and garlic (and parmesan or chili if available). Or alternatively I put a can of kidney beans with a can of tomatoes, garlic, chili, and spices in a pot, cook it a bit, and serve with rice, pasta, bread, or tortilla chips. Or whatever else is quickly available.

    Or frozen pizza.
