Fish get fillings? Can they claim it on the NHS?
- Comment on Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't) 1 week ago:
This is just an ad for “Viduli, The AI-native cloud platform”
The discussion itself is off-topic for this community anyway. Who would even think about using “serverless” for self-hosting?
- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 1 week ago:
They put “Republic” in the headline as if we all just know what that refers to.
Per wikipedia:
Republic is a British republican pressure group advocating the replacement of the monarchy of the United Kingdom with a de jure parliamentary republic.[2] It is a member organisation of the Alliance of European Republican Movements and is the largest organisation solely campaigning for a republican constitution for Britain. Republic states that its mission is: “the replacement of hereditary monarchy with a democratic republican constitution”.[3] As of 2023, Carol Lever is the current chair of Republic, and Graham Smith is the chief executive.[4]

I just configure them to use the network stack from that container.
Can you explain how you do this (or link to a guide that you found useful)? Thanks
- Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value 1 week ago:
It’s not as impressive when they’ve already crossed the 1, 2, 3 trillion marks.
Call me when they hit 1 quintillion dollars market cap.

Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’
When you “make up” for something you’ve done, it’s not up to you to decide when you’ve “made up” for it. It’s up to the people that you crossed. What a presumptuous thing to say.
- Comment on Quantum Attacks on encryption will probably be feasible by 2030 1 week ago:
This is a brilliant presentation. I heard about his paper that demonstrated integer factorisation with an abacus, a VIC-20 and a dog, but I hadn’t seen this before.
Aside: The Quantum Supremacy Drinking Game
– Open a new bottle of wine every time quantum supremacy
is announced
– Requires a well-stocked wine cellar🤣
- Comment on Space Harrier at 40: how Sega’s surreal classic brought total immersion to arcades in the 80s 2 weeks ago:
The music is iconic. It’s a very challenging game to finish. I like to play the Sega Saturn port with the Mission Stick that came bundled with Space Harrier.

- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 2 weeks ago:
If Nvidia was really holding back, then AMD would have past them.
Did you know that Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins? AMD only makes graphics cards to protect NVIDIA from antitrust lawsuits.

Utility is born of necessity, and it’s true that every joke needs a punchline.
- Comment on Built to last 3 weeks ago:
No problem, let me just say that I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve watched a lot of videos of other people trying it and the worst results that I’ve seen have been the ones using a gel that they paint onto the plastic and then cover in plastic wrap. This tends to leave a streaky effect because the substance is not equally thick in every area and so it has more whitening effect where it’s thicker.
The best results that I’ve seen have been the ones that have completely submerged the plastic in a liquid peroxide solution, or have suspended the plastic above the solution to immerse it in the vapors that evaporate off from the peroxide (pure oxygen). These methods give completely uniform coverage so they whiten the plastic equally in every place.
It seems that you also need strong UV, and people that live nearer the equator have better success using the sun. But in the absence of good UV lighting, heat also seems to have some effect.
Good luck!

But god forbid you unplug a controller while the console is switched on. Better know how to replace that fuse on the controller board!
(If you just bridge it with a wire, I won’t tell anyone).

Let me be the one to introduce you to the rabbit hole that is retr0bright. There are numerous videos on youtube of various different methods of retro-brighting.
The most scientifically thorough treatment of the phenomenon that I’ve seen is this paper: https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The-Retrobright-Mystery.pdf

Form over function. They probably have aspirations of getting VC funding and for that you need to look like every other web app.

Especially pertinent for Lenovo.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
You get incremental backups (snapshots) by using
--link-dest=DIR hardlink to files in DIR when unchangedTo use this you pass in the previous snapshot location as DIR and use a new destination directory for the current snapshot. This creates hard links in the new snapshot to the files which were unchanged from the previous snapshot, so only the new files are transferred, and there is no duplication of data on disk (for whole-file matches).
This does of course require that all of the snapshots exist in the same filesystem, since you cannot hard-link across filesystems.

Population expansion is exponential but the tram moves at constant velocity, so by the time it reaches the end of the track of 8bn people there will be an exponentially increasing number of people further down the track.

it seems to be a Natural Selection clone which is great because RTS/FPS is a fun and under-represented genre
- Comment on "ATOMFALL: I can’t believe England exists in real life." - Warlockracy 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen this youtuber’s videos before. Do they normally drop 40 minutes of spoilers for a game that came out just 6 months ago? I thought this was going to be a review and it turned into a walkthrough less than 10 minutes in.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 month ago:
There are multiplayer games from 30 years ago that still have 30 people who play on the first Friday night of each month, and they will put that in their calendar and keep the game alive.
The idea that multiplayer games need huge communities of players otherwise they are “dead” is what is killing multiplayer games.

A truly unique feature of the retro FPS genre.
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 1 month ago:
Probably because GenX and Millenials (the actual people who created and played these games respectively) don’t like being associated with the generation that’s destroying our society and planet whilst being completely out of touch with reality. It was boomers who tried to ban these games, remember?
