I’m simping for them but they are hamstrung a bit by the ancient code. They haven’t rewritten it.

Fair criticism though, maybe they should have rebuilt the engine by now.

Old days!? Aoe2 is still getting expansions!

I loved that game back in the day.

It is part of the calculus of employment. You get these shares and you deem if they are worth something (you think the company is compatently run and will IPO) or you think they are worthless.

You can talk about how pointless and probably predatory that is, but that is the current system we inhabit.

Fwiw I walked away from imaginary shares. My public company went private by a hedge fund. Honestly hedge funds are good at making short term cash so maybe that was a bad decision, but I wanted no part in the next year or more of layoffs. Plus my imaginary stock was still on a vest cycle so it would vest probably after the stock was skyrocketing.

I don’t know what your setup is, but since I work from home I found that I don’t like to be in my office doing shit on my computer that much these days 😞

Just having a screen in another room is helpful to isolate my workday from my free time.
It kinda sucks, I enjoy tinkering with shit on my computer

I have Jellyfin stream old sitcom reruns almost all day while I work. I just don’t need to upgrade all that often.

I was only able to watch half (of the 3 minute video…) but that is so badass

If only we could have somehow linked the video.

Guessing this is it.

Ah. Yeah musk is insane but his rockets are cheaper than the SLS will be. Hell Congress hasn’t even funded more than 1 or 2 launches because it is so expensive.

Not sure why you are getting down votes. Nobody wants SLS, even NASA. Congress is proping it up for pork

Do we know how much money they made on it? If it was more than $16.5 then it was still a good step on their balance sheet.

This stuff needs to be fined at the full income they made from the tool plus some penalty. Corporations only care about their balance sheets.

I don’t get why China has anything to do with it. Isn’t it out of Singapore?

I still avoid killing them. :(

Don’t these already exist? Ukraine has been using suicide drones to destroy tanks and other equipment for a couple years now.

Edit: I remember an anecdote as well that ISIS was hand building suicide drones as well whenever the hell that was.

Played itast night on Steam. It is stupid fun, reminds me of valheim when that dropped.

To add, hypervisor is very low level, below the operating system often. Hypervisors allow you to run multiple operating systems on the same hardware.

Containers are isolated processes running within an operating system using stuff like cgroups.

It has been years since I played with it but OpenStack is a suite of tools to build a data center like AWS or Azure. You can get the VM bit up and running pretty quick with basic packages on an Ubuntu system if you want to play with it, but again it has been years.

What is your goal? Playing with kvm may be a better path if you want to understand virtualization.

If you want to upskill for a job, I’d see if there is a certificate to work on. Even if you don’t want the cert, the curriculum might be a good starting point.

Yeah, the earth will be just fine. Humans and human civilization are what is at stake.

Yeah, woody perrenials lock up CO2 for centuries and we have a lot of abandoned mines and whatever holes are leftover from oil drilling that we could theoretically bury plant material in.

Still whatever we do would need to be on unprecedented scales and the World is just not going to do that. At least not until the effects are so acute that it is too late.

Here is the paper the article is based on

It is very chemistry dense that is way overy head. It says that “typical” electrolysis techniques have around a 10% “carbon efficiency”, whatever that means, while this one has around 96%.

I also see that in their test they used CO2 gas, so this may efficiently get us a usable fuel from CO2 but may not help us sequester CO2 gas from the atmosphere.

I’d love someone who knows what they are talking about to analyze it for us though.
