I checked the wiki page, and apparently all of einstein’s work should be puclic domain now. I think most of his papers already were open access or readily available, but now they should be public domain as well.

i concede, you are too chad for me to even be in same plane of existence.

I always knew I am not a real programmer

Some people suggest india pak “skirmish”. I am an indian, and it was neither war, and us did nothing.

I am not going into why skirmish happened, and not taking any sides here (for pakistan or for india), so i do not come out biased.

We heard “trump did something” 2-3 days after there was a cooldown. And no indian govt official has ever agreed to trumps claims.

on the other hand (some may claim i am biased against pak gov here, specifically millitary), us has always been interested in pak (they got into afghanistan from pak, they kinda want to do that again).

I have nothing but love for general pak public, we are same people, mostly are mutually intelligible, and got divided mostly because brits and some “religious” leaders (from both sides) did not like the other side.

https://knaben.org/ is an aggregator. I dont sail often, but if i do, and i know what i want is not very recent (like made available in last week) then i go there first

tbh, i got the meaning correct in first read only. seemingly, only 1 comma (one before ‘after rescue …’) should fix it, or at least make it better. you could also replace the earlier ‘after plunging’ with who plunged/fell and that will also (arguably) improve readablity.

This is borderline schadenfreude, so I am requesting some other mod to reply.

I am not deleting since if some strict action is taken against the company which helps brazil’s forest, then that would be better.

voronois space filling

that is a good point. I partially touched on it in my comment, but one of the thing happenning is they are clearing forest in one of our tropical islands, and “reflacing equivalent land” in a temprate only partially forested land. think after giving a full stab wound and adding a temporary bandage on to it. EVen if I believe your planting efforts puts in equal trees, you uprooted a tropical forest with rich flora and fauna, with a place which has no wildlife other than a few monkeys and some other common animals

While I am very happy with this, I would like to add some context for India specifically.

To put it briefly, our current govt is not climate friendly, and I can say this without further reading, but our forest land has not increased, what has been done is clever redefinition of word forest itself.

Primarily, what would you consider to be true forest is given to big empires in name of development, and as a “eco tax” money is taken for planting elsewhere (which may have completely different bio-geography).

secondly, what would you define as sparse, or less dense forest, or just call them grasslands is also being labeled as forests now. this is done by lowering the required amount of trees per unit area in definition. essentially clever accounting.

Now, if the numbers are by some independent organisation, using satellite data or something, I would trust it and be happy, but if it is aggregating what the nations tell, then I do not trust it.

As I understand, It is just a general old people people mindset. Most old folk consider all lgbt stuff to primarily have “dirty” or “impure” thoughts (they essentially look at this not from as an identity part, but more of them being just “pervy”)(this as i understand is the general conservative idealogy - sex is taboo, but having “kids” is natural, you can have both). Not saying this justifies snoop dog’s behaviour. I am not a fan or a hater, just do not know much about them, just explains how could they do that and then this. to them, all lgbt stuff is “not for kids” and completely look over the identity aspect of it.

His “support” is most likely a simple paid collaboration arranged by their team, and he does not care what it is about.

Why imo it is still uplifting is because there is some event organised for lgbt folk, and that is always a good in my book. it helps normalise them.

I do not know much about them, but regardless of affiliations with trump, if they are famous, and they support lgbt folk, that is a good in my eye.

kinda with you partner.

humans have been breeding and raising horses longer than we have been keeping records (or even thought of keeping records, or got the ability to record).

genuine question - is this good? assuming horses are treated (fed/bathed/relaxed, etc) well, horse drawn carriage does not seem bad. It has cultural and historical significance, and horses are also kinda green ™

i agree

if it enters eco system back, its biodegradation. more technically, biodegradation just means breaking polymers by biological processes. most of the times, it either means hydrolysis (usually breaking ester/amide linkages) or oxidation (so producing acid from alcohol, or producing co2 in end). all carbon in body “eventually” becomes co2, so it is not a problem, purely biological means of co2 production are usually not that scary.

On a 3rd point, I’ve seen official softwares detect when they’re being run in VMs or similar, so maybe that’s what happened.

this is becoming more common afaik. why blow away your cover in a vm where you would not even get much (unless you are just a miner, but even then performance is worse), especially when checking if we are running in a vm is reaaly easy.

(not a windows user so maybe wrong). afaik it is effectively a vm (or something like docker sharig kernel, but not filesystem, but not sure) where you can test a executable. it is only available to pro accounts though (so not the vast majority of home and oem installs).

or comms as well

they are different things, wget and curl do not have many overlapping use cases other than downloading stuff over http
