Heard that US sucks... Seems to be true everytime. Small towns in japan are really nice for bicycles, as well as big cities. The medium ones are hit or miss

Small cities are super nice for biking. Where are you from?

I can't taste the breed in market milk, but I could differentiate most cows just by taste of milk from my family's farm. I can still tell the difference between brands and seasons.

Market milk tastes kinda devoid of personality. But it is still milk. Just that milk from hundreds of cows gets mixed together

If it's a revenue generating machine, the impact of 10 or 20% improvement in day to day could recoup the additional cost in a few months or a year.

Similarly, for someone who travels a lot, having a useful battery life of 8-10 hours of internet+video playback allows a work routine that is worry free wrt charging and this allows tighter travel schedules.

Ofc, this isn't the case every time, but this creates anchor effect on several segments of the market. This also doesn't include the extra cost of "luxury" aka thin and light or small bezels.

350 USD is perfectly fine if you don't need a ton of battery life or color accurate screen or multimedia or multicore workloads. If you need any of this, most of the options get pricier than 700 USD. It's not uncommon to have to shell out 1500 USD or more for the desired specs.

It might be something built using digital payments with no transaction fee (and a percentage for currency conversion)

Not possible globally, but in India and the Nordics, such standards are already in use. (No private apps like venmo which can't inter-operate don't count)

Isn't this a year old news?

Which language? Usually there's a thread pool where multiple tasks are run in parallel. CPython is a special case due to gil, but we have pypy which has actual parallelism

I've used mirror.vim for this. Pretty much similar UX as remote workspaces. Forone off editing, you can do vim ssh://remote/

Sometimes, VS Code-ium is piss poor especially over bad connections but otherwise the remote management is quite awesome

And ofc, there's emacs with TRAMP mode

That's why it's interesting that inverse square is in electrostatic and gravitational forces only. Weak and strong force don't follow inverse square. And we don't see the highly complex organization inside the nucleus that we see outside it (otherwise we'd have stable orbits inside the nucleus as well)

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Bertrand's theorem states that stable orbits are only possible for one single inverse distance relation (in classical mechanics): inverse square

If the law is not inverse square (or harmonic oscillator), there will be no long lasting orbits, no galaxy clusters, no galaxies, no star systems, no planet and moon pairs.

If the electrostatic force wasn't inverse square, electromagnetic force would look much different. No gauss law would be possible.

Inverse square relationship is really neat

I wanted to update my family PC (technically, but I don't think anyone else apart from me used it). Windows XP licence was too expensive for me as a kid and I found a CD ROM in my library with a FOSS OS advertised on it.

Fast forward to now, and I have been using Linux almost exclusively for 15 years now (some Windows usage needed for work or gaming)
