Holy hell. What an insightful article, well articulated, well-written.

This guy knows his stuff!

I laughed at loud at the “ARSE” reversal

It’s such low hanging fruit omg

I lived and breathed Morrowind.

But I’ve got optimistic insane news for you all

IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN

I’m playing a game called Kenshi and it feels like it’s 2003!

I’m at the verge of tears. Chase that gaming high, YOU’LL FIND IT!!!

People with ADHD are dopamine-starved and there’s been a theory that it’s down due to genetic diversity in ancient human tribes:

A certain percentage of the human population would be night owls for watching the tribe at night, and later on, functioning as city guard, and the ADHD crowd?

They were the explorers and seekers, finding new routes, new trade opportunities, unhappy with sitting in one place for any extended length of time.

It only stands to reason, that in a time of turmoil or crisis, you’d have the dopamine-starved percentage of the population suddenly locked in, it’s what they’re meant for

Replacements:

Titanium Backup -> SystemPanel2

MX Player -> Poweramp

Google Play Music -> YouTube Music

ES File Explorer -> FX File Explorer

Swype Keyboard -> Gboard

Google Plus -> Google One

Inbox -> Gmail

SuperSU -> Magicsk

You’re welcome :3

In well-established cities, over time there becomes a demand to facilitate long-distance travel throughout the entire city core, which necessitates the construction of highways. When such a thing is not possible due to the abundance of skyscrapers and other allocated lands, they repurpose or repave certain streets into parkways or “avenues”.

Sometimes, no modifications are made whatsoever except for the traffic signaling system where there are discrete “blocks” of green light traffic allowing you to travel a mile in the city before you hit another red light (for instance heading north on Broadway, New York City).

Zigzagging through local streets is a surefire way to run into red lights and stop signs, reducing your “average speed” and increasing your total trip time.

What if I told you that North-South travel on a grid based city system is much faster than East-West, and although mathematically zig-zag is the shortest distance, pragmatically, the logical path is the one with the fewest turns (especially left turns) taken?

No. Hyperdimensional math is required here, I feel.

I used a flip/dumbphone for most of my teenage and high school years.

It’s like asking what would make me go back to having a DOS computer and playing Wolf3D after being in full body virtual reality with Half Life Alyx.

What’s an “immutable” distro? Is this like the OSS version of a closed/prop kernel?

Honestly that’s a genius marketing strategy

I have no idea. It’s already compiled so it’s pure state and runs on any platform. It would be a monumental project to reverse engineer the kernel at this point.

Why?

That wouldn’t do anything but suspend the program for a few seconds.

Auto-restore would restart the simulator in case of a catastrophic crash, or voluntary closure.

You would be absolutely correct

Request denied

If you need specific and special access to universe core data, you can submit a maintainer request at:

Universe@Core

A cloned archived sectional copy might be provided upon request only containing relevant data with regards to research on a localized sector of the simulation.

This is correct.

It’s 0.666× time scaling max, and 0.0625 min.

One second in the simulation occurs roughly every 16 “real seconds” if on a direct pipe in a closed instance with a superuser.

There’s a time warp/stretching factor which slows down or speeds up the time simulation, allowing for extremely complex physics calculations to occur in what appears like real time, it’s all lerped to synchronize with unitary clock, so even a 16 Hz explosion looks like 480 Hz.

To avoid crashing, light-speed has been capped just below the engine maximum of 300,000,000 m/s² at

c_max=0.999

(See: Time Dilation, General, Special Relativity)

The simulator is OSS

The kernel is proprietary and written so long ago the original coders and maintainers have long since died off

This is an accurate take.

With superhuman strength, you need to exercise 6-8 hours per day for minor benefits, whereas most regular people start seeing benefits from even 15 minutes of moderate walking per day.

Gotcha

Watch party on what platform?
