Well, not controlling your Z, and just being awake whenever, won’t help you either. A good nights rest is vital for the brain.

And you might eventually die, after you have become a fallen empire yourself, and get stomped by some next level crisis, while the AI empires are less than useless. I consider this a plus though. Eternity is a very long time, and boredom is a very strong emotion. No game could keep me entertained for eternity.

It’s gonna get scrambled/minified before it is shipped to the user anyway.

Do you mean that programming languages are hard to read/write, or that the languages themselves are poorly designed?

In the former case, I invite you to read machine code. Not assembly, but straight machine code. Just zeros and ones as far as the editor can see. Any popular language is better than that.

In the latter case, I invite you to look at the design of an arbitrary natural language. Weird grammer rules, regional differences, loan words that don’t fit in, etc. No programmming language is worse than that. Although I would argue that Javascript has all of those problems too in some degree.

I recommend buying potatoes. Not for eating, but for planting. Preferably before you lock yourself in for a few months. And along with it, a book on how to farm your own vegies from the library.

Allow me to take some worry away: Pornhub is canadian.

Simple solution: only allow lower case characters in file names.

In an older version of Stellaris, a cheesy strategy is to abduct or force relocate the entire galaxy onto a single planet.

Usually having an overcrowded planet, has a several drawbacks.

Since you can never generate enough food, your population will always be in decline. But this decline is capped per planet, and is quite small. As long as you can keep abducting and force relocating pops from your conquests, you can grow.

Similarly, you ignore consumer goods for the only cost of a reduction in produced goods from jobs. But you barely produce anything via jobs anyway.

The low happyness and overcrowding causes stability issues on the planet. But again, the negative stability is capped, so you enable martial law on the planet, and build fortresses, which provide a stability boost per soldier job they create. And only stability matters for revolts.

You need minerals, but you can get those from mining asteroids.

Your energy credits come from being a mega church, in which each pop following your religion, generates some credits, along with trade generated per pop.

Alloys come from turning the planet into an ecumenopolis. Although you get a -50% production modifier, it is the only thing you need to produce yourself.

But the real trick is giving all the cramped up pops utopian living standards. In this version of Stellaris, any unemployed pop living in utopian living standards, generated science points and trade value. Usually those are barely worth the extra cost of letting the pop live so luxuriously. But even if you don’t provide food and consumer goods, they still provide sciencd and trade.

As a result, you got a stable planet generating insane amounts of science, energy credits, and alloys. While remaining a small empire, which kept tech costs low.

I wonder if blind folk could even use that website then.

Or a beamer if you want a big screen.

Can’t really blame them if the meta favors a low int build.

I work in a company where we create a large software product. Over 80 devellopers in my department alone, working on the same product.

I have noticed 2 types of devellopers that are equally necesary for our department to run smoothly.

The first type is the one you are trying to be, but feel you can’t be: the one that will conjure up complex systems from scratch. I do consider myself one of these.

The latter one I have much more respect for, as they can do things I can’t do as well.

The second type looks at existing systems, code, and solutions, and finds problems in them or tapes them together into a bigger solution. They have heard of issues with a system somewhere before, causing them to debug into the right direction much faster. And they are excellent at reading code and documentation, allowing them to use exiting solutions much easier. Despite them not being the best at creating entirely new solutions, In such a large software product, their skills are extremely valuable.

I get the feeling you would fit into the second category. If so, my suggestion is to look for a position as an integrator. Someone who puts all the code of others together, and debugs the resulting system as a whole. You literally spend your time taping existing stuff together, while you can delegate creating new solutions to the people who create the software you stich together. These other devellopers are your chatGPT for the problems that chatGPT can’t solve.

Just as made up as the headline of this clickbait article. Please for the love of science, don’t believe this as a fact until someone has done research to what the headline is claiming. Just take a look at the title of the research this article is based on: https://www.rbmojournal.com/article/S1472-6483(24)00936-2/fulltext

“Fully empty your battery before charging it up again, it increases the lifespan of the battery.”

This was true before lithium-ion batteries became the norm. But for lithium-ion batteries, the opposite holds.

Lemmy was first released in 2019. So its oldest user can be no older than about 6 years old.

Yup. Shit is gross. Still, the image of people recycling sewer sludge into cooking oil is burned into my brain, and an order of magnitude worse in my perception.

I hope you don’t live in China. Check out gutter oil.

True. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to break the cycle. Although we are heading towards another great conflict, we are currently in an era with less hunger, more education, and less poverty throughout the world than ever before. We clearly did something right. Let’s try to do even better in the future. Lets evolve, step by step, cause that Is was are good at!

You first give a rousing speech about how much better animals are, to only then tell us you have a wife. This makes me concerned…

Battlebit is great for a couple of rounds of brainless fun every other night. I’m not yet on linux myself, but it seems to work well via proton according to google, and it doesn’t use an external launcher.
