It’s arch. There’ll be no issue here.

Eco chambers sound like a good thing.

No

Fair

You have a plug hole in your canoe?

The last decade has brought a lot of clarity to me on this. People follow the herd and are tribal. If a movement gains enough momentum, most people will go along with it even if it’s “against their principles”. There are very few people that will stand up in front of an advancing hoard and say “Stop! This is wrong.”

I suspect Nazi Germany was the same. Most people will have accepted what was happening as the price of an easy life, and it wasn’t until it was too late that they realised what had happened.

The graphics API isn’t something superficial. The source engine was designed from the ground up around APIs from 20 years ago. Any Vulkan adapter will be a bodge.

This sounds like a good thing. I don’t care if the manufacturer of my equipment trusts the software. I care if I trust it.

Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?

No.

I’d rather a slower, less intense burn tbh. More time to escape.

You are talking about a game that was developed before Vulkan was a glint in Khronos’ eye.

How refreshing.

It’s almost as if population control is a cause of problems rather than a solution to them.

“Extremely thin” is pretty low on my list of features I want.

If making it a bit thicker gives me ethernet and HDMI then make it thicker. A laptop moves from place to place, and not needing dongles / specialist cables makes it far easier to jump on anybodies desk and just plug in.

You don’t give up ever.

You pursue a better solution whenever one presents itself.

I can give you √2 which is 16-bits of information as characters. It’s also an irrational number. How you express something doesn’t change the amount of information is contained in the message.

I remember going to Auckland in the 90s and being amazed how low everything was considering it’s size. Wellington was vertical. Auckland was horizontal.

At least, that’s how it felt.

Investments in nuclear power are not taking money away from investments in solar.

This is interesting. Why do you think that?

I would disagree, because is see investment capital as finite. There are only so many investors able to operate at infrastructure scales. And therefore I see nuclear’s true cost as opportunity cost.

In the UK and a city? Probably Liverpool and because of The Beatles.

A Town? Well it certainly used to be Lockerbie where Pan-Am flight 103 crashed after a terrorist bombing just before Christmas 1988. It was on it’s way from London to New York.

Probably not known by the younger generations though.
