Proton is just a compatibility layer, not a virtual machine or emulator. So while the specifics vary from game to game, in general, performance is comparable. In my experience it’s just as stable and often faster than on windows (at least on AMD GPUs. But Nvidia has gotten better as well)

Factorio puts game saves in ~/.factorio for some reason…

It’s fair to want to learn (and it’s certainly a good skill to have), but the question is what you’d rather see in a large, production environment. Guard rails are usually there for a reason. As for the control: you actually can program memory-unsafe (and in kernel development you often have to!) in Rust. The difference is that in Rust it’s explicitly marked by an unsafe block:

unsafe {
  ...
}

That way you get the same, fine-grained control over low-level processes, but someone else reading your code can at a glace spot where potential memory bugs may be.

In the end, languages are a tool. Especially for personal projects, everyone should just go with what’s fun to them. I personally think it makes sense, logistically, to slowly transition legacy C-based projects to Rust, because it makes onboarding new developers easier, while keeping the same memory safety that requires years of experience otherwise, basically for free. But there’s really no rush to rewrite anything that’s working well in Rust

it’s pretty bad. steam for example has both
~/.steam and
~/.local/share/Steam
for some reason. I’m just happy I moved to an impermanent setup for my PC, so I don’t need to worry something I temporarily install is going to clutter my home directory with garbage

They got unbanned, but it eroded trust that it won’t happen again

Some contributer got flagged by US sanctions based on their IP, I think

Only tangentially related, since I don’t think NBD uses FUSE, but may I present Harder Drive

Samba (and NFS) require you to set shares up on the server’s side. With sshfs, you don’t need anything but a ssh login to your server. Black magic

Where do you get that idea from? Tht G stands for GNU

PoE, Factorio, etc

I seem to like games that require spreadsheets

Yes, that’s true, but more of an edge case. Something like gasoline is commonly priced in fractional cents, tho:

I have no strong preference either way. I think both are valid and sensible systems, and it’s only confusing because of competing standards. I think over long enough time, due to the internet, the period as the decimal separator will prevail, but it’s gonna happen normally, it’s not something we can force. Many young people I know already use it that way here in Germany

It makes sense from typographical standpoint, the comma is the larger symbol and thus harder to overlook, especially in small fonts or messy handwriting

No, 2,50€ is 2€ and 50ct, 2.50€ is wrong in this system. 2,500€ is also wrong (for currency, where you only care for two digits after the comma), 2.500€ is 2500€

The quote is not wrong, however, Elon is neither harmless nor peaceful. He’s dangerous and a violent fascist

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --update

But is that desirable? I’d rather break things in favor of something better, and provide a way to make the old thing run, than be stuck with ancient baggage

Also, while that’s true for software, compatibility for old hardware is horrible under Windows

For longer missions it helps to be able to re-calibrate, as with dead-reckoning, the errors cumulate

This is a silly joke question, and you’re right about the urea breaking down. Now for the water molecules (which are indistinguishable, so outside of pseudoscience the answer is meaningless), it becomes more interesting.

Assuming a person pees about 1l/day, over a lifetime you have on the order of 10^29 water molecules in your pee. There’s about 1.3 billion cubic kilometers of water on earth, or about 10^21 litres. So assuming the pee gets perfectly diluted, you get about 10^8 molecules that used to be in a specific person’s pee, per litre of water. In reality it will likely be more, since much water is deep in the ocean, where there is little convection, so it takes long to evenly mix the pee around.
