  I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I'm not disagreeing with you and I don't know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it's an interesting idea that you're not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

  Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there's nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

  Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I'd hold off until you're comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

  Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. There are times where that's totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, or BSD licenses. Just use the GPL, folks.

  Yeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can't remember what it's called, it's some fuckass TLA), so maybe they're counting on people doing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨modern meal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for sharing this fact that has filled me with joy. I am not enough of a science hippy to tell if beer, wine, or bourbon contain more phytoestrogens than soy, but they absolutely do contain it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6761902/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hadn't even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.

  I do machining as a hobby now and I'd really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I'd need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don't want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I very much want a PAPR as well. I seem to recall that there were some units that came out of COVID that are somewhat cheaper, at least.

  Yeah, Pokemon cards were like beanie babies back in the very late nineties and early aughts. People were OBSESSED with the value of their collections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think it'd be a pretty silly thing for us to ever try to do. My goal was to take their stupid idea, provide a slightly less stupid idea, and then say "or just don't do space power at all and keep everything terrestrial." Orbital solar power stations were lots of fun in science fiction, but panels are cheap, there's plenty of land, and giant death masers that cook any birds flying into the beam are, uh, suboptimal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We've had the template for this for decades. Put the solar panels in space where the thick soupy gunky spunky atmosphere doesn't stop the little energy things from the sun. Collect the power in orbit. You just do that up there up in orbit okay? And then you fucking beam the power down to the surface you numpty fucks. Use a maser to send the power down to the surface and you can pick a frequency that isn't affected by the gunky spunky and then the receivers on the ground can pick it up and they send the power through these things called wires to a building that uses the power and the building can use this neat little thing called CONVECTION to more efficiently remove the heat from the things using the electricity wow.

  Or just, y'know, use less power and make use of ground based solar. We don't need fucking AI data centers in space. Don't get me wrong, I think it might be useful to, say, have some compute up in geostationary orbit that other satellites could punt some data to for computation. You could have an evenly spaced ring of the fuckers so the users up there can get some data crunching done with a RTT of like 50ms instead of 700ms. That seems like a hard sell, but it at least seems a bit tenable if you needed to reduce the data you're sending back to the earth down to a more manageable amount. That is still not fuckass gigawatt AI data centers. Fuck

  This script is why I ended up learning how to use OnShape. It's probably much better nowadays, but I could not get it working a few years ago. I needed CAD and OnShape was close enough to Inventor that it was almost frictionless.

  Oh god, please don't use it for Bash. LLM-generated Bash is such a fucking pot of horse shit bad practices. Regular people have a hard enough time writing good Bash, and something trained on all the fucking crap on StackOverflow and GitHub is inevitably going to be so bad...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIK, LFP thermal runaway can't start fires. NMC or other lithium chemistries can and they scare me, but LFPs are pretty damn safe. That being said, I'm still stoked for sodium chemistries to be developed. If the round trip efficiency issues can be solved, then I think it'll be a great solution for residential power storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung brings ads to US fridges⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I made the mistake of buying a Samsung washer/dryer set in 2017. The washer actually still works and the seal has held up well, but the dryer drum jumped its tracks within the first year, and both have been plagued with gremlins.

  Fuck Samsung appliances and honestly most things Samsung sells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Left to Right Programming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'll agree that list comprehensions can be a bit annoying to write because your IDE can't help you until the basic loop is done, but you solve that by just doing [thing for thing in things] and then add whatever conditions and attr access/function calls you need.
