    Oh awesome, Brian the boom guy can return!

  • Book people think they know why 9-year-olds stop reading for fun
  • Similar here. The "you need to read through page 95 by Thursday" for years ruined it for me. For over a decade after leaving school whenever I'd try to read something I'd just obsess over the page numbers and how long until a chapter break. It's only very recently I've managed to get mostly past that and actually been able to get into what I'm reading.

    The James Webb Space Telescope Releases a Beautiful New Picture Of Uranus
  • Looking at NASA and Webb sites it appears this is a poorly cropped version of pictures from over a year ago, not something new like the article claims.

  • All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why?
  • There are absolutely laptops with fingerprint sensors.

    I'd say the main reason it's more common in phones than computers is because of the different markets. Phones are mostly consumer purchases, the business market is smaller and the software is more locked down so you can rely on a software disable better sufficing for those cases. Laptops are increasingly dominated by business use cases. Businesses have IT groups that care about security who would prefer models without biometrics.

    Secondarily, you login to your phone a lot more often than laptops so the convenience factor is less impactful for laptops. So people don't consider the fingerprint sensor a mandatory requirement as much as with phones.

  • That feeling when even Elon Musk thinks you're insufferable
  • "belongs to the sex class"... The heck. Such a meaningless circular definition just to provide a veneer of justification for her transphobia.

  • Factorio Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons
  • Not what I was expecting. "Diminishing" made me think that the new effect of the beacons would cover a larger area but diminish as distance to the building increases

  • I love Stargate!

  • Full Line Code Completion in JetBrains IDEs: All You Need to Know
  • I've been using it the last month. It's autocomplete and does what autocomplete should. It doesn't guess utterly insane shit like certain other tools.

  • I choose the bear and this book is what you think it is about rule.
  • It's about a woman who falls in love with a gay man?

  • Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?
  • Simple: make friends with someone with high speed internet who's not very savvy, keep up the charade until they allow you to borrow their computer. Then you install a headless vpn server with logging disabled. Boom, high speed local VPN that doesn't point to you. Just buy them a $2.50 beer once a month to keep up pretenses in case you need to do maintenance.

  • Which do you think will be the next country to legalize recreational cannabis?
  • In a shocking turnabout, Atlantis announces legalized marijuanna and also their continued existence.

  • What's the reason for high refresh rates?

    I was reading an article on the new LG display with a refresh rate of 7680Hz and it says:

    > While a typical refresh rate for a monitor might be 60Hz-240Hz, an outdoor display designed to be viewed from a distance needs to be much higher

    The idea that there's an intrinsic link between refresh rate and viewing distance is new to me and feels unintuitive. I can understand the need for high brighteness for far view distance. I also could understand refresh rate mattering for a non-persistent (CRT) display. But for an Led display surely you can see it far away even if it refreshes once a second?

    Refresh rate normally needs to be high enough to avoid pixels "jumping" between refreshes on high resolution displays, so wouldn't higher view distances allow you to decrease the refresh rate?

    Is the article just spouting bullshit? Or is there an actual link between refresh rate and view distance?

    SLPT: in a rush after a snowstorm? Skip brushing your car off by simply driving fast! The air will brush your car off for you.

    This can also save you shoveling/plowing your driveway, simply drive over the accumulated snow at high speed. Make sure to avoid getting stuck however.

    SLPT: Striking out on tinder? Use AI to make you look attractive and give you the profile of someone with an actual personality.

    Before your first date go to an MMA dojo and insult anyone walking out so you have a cover for why you aren't like your profile.
