People on Lemmy will believe literally anything you tell them as long as you make it about a corporation or billionaire.

The example in the OP is very obviously food grade plastic, specifically engineered for those use cases

There’s no way to even attempt to answer your question without the actual code

Contract killers don’t really exist, and even if they did, it’s obviously not covered by the legal system, so, you do.

I’m… Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop “fitting in the community?”

I mean… Babies and small children don’t “choose” what language to learn, they just pick up whatever’s spoken regularly around them. So whatever their families and community speak, same as everyone else?

I’m sure some parents use it as a substitute to avoid saying “son of a bitch” in front of their kids, if that helps

Sure, I mean pretty much by definition. What does that have to do with your question?

Are you under the impression that they don’t?

Like others have mentioned, there are various options (donations/sponsorships/grants) that larger projects will generally have some of, but for smaller projects (99% of what’s out there, by project count if not usage), the answer is simply “it isn’t.” It’s done as a hobby, as a resume booster, or with the hope of eventually becoming big enough to hit one of those revenue streams.

I don’t think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms

Psychonauts 1/2. The first game literally takes place at a summer camp. Second one has basically the same vibe.

I almost hesitate to bring up the other problems with your plan since, obviously the total monstrosity of it. But that’s anyway pretty well covered so I’ll just throw in that blowing enough nukes to kill that many people would create considerably worse environmental disaster

Everyone is talking about dominant and recessive genes, so I just want to clarify a couple things.

The way your body directly uses genes is as a blueprint to construct proteins. Your cells are always producing proteins from the genes in all your chromosomes. It has complex ways of regulating how much of each it produces, but your body doesn’t care what chromosome it’s coming from. Once an embryo is fertilized, there’s really no distinction between “mom” chromosomes or “dad” chromosomes, as far as the embryo and its protein machinery are concerned.

“Dominant” and “recessive” characterization is about how those proteins affect your body at the macro scale, not whether your body actually uses the gene and produces its proteins – it always does that. For example, brown hair is a dominant trait, and blonde is recessive. But this is because producing any amount of brown pigment will make your hair brown, regardless of what other pigments you’re making, simply because it’s darker. Literally the same as combining blonde and brown paint. It has nothing to do with whether the genes are actually being expressed – the brown hair gene doesn’t stop the blonde hair gene from making its pigments.

Perhaps “always-on display” is clearer? Keeps it from turning off when idle

“uncommon” is an overstatement, you can get them pretty much anywhere that has pots and pans. It’s uncommon in that most people don’t bother owning one, not that they’re hard to get

In addition to what others said, the way you perceive light intensity is not linear. Between your eye adjusting to changing light levels and just the way your brains visual centers work, it’s closer to logarithmic. Indoor lighting at night probably feels like, what, 10% of the brightness of daylight? In reality it’s less than 1%, sometimes closer to 0.1%.

Well, part of the point of NixOS is to eliminate that whole issue of forgotten tinkering – the whole system is defined right there in a few modules, or even one file, and there’s no way for un-tracked tinkering to exist outside those files.

But can I ask how you use your computer? What goes into these months of prep? I really can’t imagine it.

It’s still lemmy, but the mander.xyz instance is exactly this for science

Other than maybe a few very rote, boilerplate types of development, all this shit about replacing coders is almost entirely noise made by either the wishful thinking of oligarchs or credulous repetition of that wishful thinking by clueless journalists.

But it’s still a pretty rough time to be just getting into tech, just because of the state of the job market.

Uh… Ask, I guess?
