I guess such an old edition is in the public domain

really? there are ways of putting music on Spotify that don't involve paying a fee upfront at any time?

I wouldn't say that porn is not allowed on every platform. basically every mainstream "content posting" platform (fb, ig, tw, tiktok, etc) allows softcore porn, and in fact pushes it on…

the film they were using for these pictures allows for way higher resolution scans than 1080p

yeah, but the guys selling the courses were/are all obsessed with being at the beach

that sounds like somebody's dream job

for which society? the American society, maybe? they get to feel good about themselves for the societies all over the globe that have been the targets of such policies for more than a century, I think…

George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is about his experience in the Spanish Civil War, published in 1938. He was there between '36 and '37 I think. It's pre WWII, and I found it v…

What I find most amazing about all this is that this is literally the market that Tesla was aiming for. Affordable EVs for regular people was their whole thing, they were years ahead of BYD, already h…

They've been on this path for a while now. The reckoning has to come at some point right?

isn't that at least partially caused by the rubber tire particles?

It's also amazing that, if the rich, non-oil producing countries of the world actually went and transitioned away from oil, these ""problematic"" countries would lose all thei…

yeah I'm on the same boat. I just have an old laptop hooked up to the tv, which can access a shared folder on my main computer that has all the media. I control it with a wireless mouse, and get …

it's interesting that if you want to watch a movie, torrenting is pretty much the same it was 20 years ago. at this point I torrent movies that are on Netflix (that I have a subscription for) sim…

While it's not surprising that's in the top, it's surprising by how much. ~1/7th of the world population, but ~55% of coal consumption is pretty unbalanced IMO. Of course, the real…

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-consumption-by-count... China is the world's top consumer of coal, and accounts for more than 50% of the world's total consumpti…

maybe they should make the person with the codes black. I think several cold-war presidents probably wouldn't have a problem with that

> A machine from 5 years ago feels just as fast as a brand new machine. Except you can't install Windows 11 on it, and the org has to trash it anyway to keep up with security requirement (I kn…

> Singapore is a business masquerading as a country I don't see why this would lead the country to being well organized. All the big businesses I've seen are very inefficient and disorgan…

Ironic considering I've yet to see one of those be able to sprint 100 meters

The apartment you bought also actually exists and you live in it (or somebody else does, same point). This isn't really the case with this investment

Is there any video production software that runs on Linux well nowadays?

I also used to have a bare phone policy, but I had to change it after everybody decided to start making the damn things out of fragile glass. Yeah plastic screens are uglier but they don't crack

"what it thinks you want" is doing a lot of work here. why would it "think" that you want to be pushed into an echo chamber divorced from reality instead of something else? why wou…

That's so weird, they're implying that it's more durable than the thicker iPhone 17

yeah but writing an essay over the course of a week and over the course of two hours are entirely different experiences -- and the first one is the one that's usually useful in post-graduate life

How do you handle merging different branches?

> Executives who interpret "Story Points" as "how much time is that going to take" aside, but I have yet to meet a single person (dev, qa, pm, exec) who doesn't do this.

Why do you see C# adoption in gaming as desirable? Honest question. I think it's a good enough language, but why would it be a good fit specifically for building games?
