If you can, a physical copy will be much better. It’s one of the few books that doesn’t translate as week to e-reader/digital for [redacted] reasons.
I should reread House of Leaves.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I've recently turned 20. What highly specific advice you, lemmy users, would offer me?23·2 years agoYour 30s will be better. Don’t get hung up on thinking your 20s are prime.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Electric Vehicles@lemmy.world•Ford rethinks EV strategy, is working on a smaller, cheaper EV platform5·2 years agoRight. In 2017 I had to buy a car and decided to go new. For $20k I got a hatchback that serves all my needs, even as a fwd vehicle. There isn’t a single EV on the market that comes close to that price, let alone in that form factor.
Edit: I should mention that this sub-compact vehicle has 150hp, 4 doors, and seatbelts for 5 (including driver). It’s an excellent family vehicle that’s very safe and would be a great learner’s car in the future. It’s even mechanically simple and easy to repair. If I could just have this exact car in an EV form that didn’t cost 2.5x as much, I would be happy to upgrade.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•‘There is no such thing as a real picture’: Samsung defends AI photo editing on Galaxy S2449·2 years agoThe moon photos they’re talking about are specifically the AI enhanced zoom moon photos of previous Samsung models that caught controversy because taking a picture of a marginally round object against a black background with their zoom enhancement would produce a moon photo even if it was in someone’s dark basement and the object was a dimly lit bottle cap.
astrsk@kbin.socialto PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Helldivers 2 will use a rootkit anti-cheat, nProtect GameGuard8·2 years agoSony and rootkit, name a more iconic duo.
What a sad state when a PvE, P2P game requires installing a rootkit. Was looking forward to this game, but now I won’t even get it on PS5, even if I was originally going to play through proton on steam.
astrsk@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there any 5000 mAh power bank with 30W?3·2 years agoAnd not to mention the discharge efficiency curve. For LiPo batteries you will see a sort of “coasting” when the battery is at about 3.7v if your load is sufficiently small. But when it’s at 4.0v it will seem to drain quicker.
I have a 10000mAh battery powering a device that uses 10uA every 30 minutes for about 10 seconds. On one charge it should last about 1 year maybe a little more. The first 2 months it seemed like it lost a lot more juice than was expected but since then it settled in and is now ahead of its estimate. Which means it will speed back up as it goes down below 3.7v.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Gaming@lemmy.ml•2K pulls Spec Ops: The Line from digital stores without warning4·2 years agoCan confirm, was able to download it after it was pulled and it runs fine.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit Advised to Target at Least $5 Billion Valuation in IPO20·2 years agoIsn’t the venture scene’s motto “loss is the product” or something?
astrsk@kbin.socialto science@lemmy.world•Passive exposure can speed up learning, new research shows | Around the O7·2 years agoIs the research only new because we didn’t test this before? The number one advice to learn a language fast is to be totally submerged into the language and its culture. Seems like that would extend to just about any skill.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.world•Is it me or is Nvidia on Wayland still a hot mess?42·2 years agoI gave it a try on my bare Debian 12 (kernel 6.1) install last week and a 3090.
KDE Plasma, on Wayland, worked out of the box but with poor performance. After following the official guide to installing the proprietary drivers, the Wayland session no longer works. After entering my password in SDDM I get a blank screen with a solid text cursor in the upper corner until I forcefully power cycle the machine.
I’ll stick to x11 for now, which works flawlessly with great performance in games (~200fps in Baldur’s Gate 3, max settings 1440p @ 240hz).
astrsk@kbin.socialto [Dormant] moved to !space@mander.xyz@lemmy.world•NASA's Mars helicopter broke during a mysterious communication blackout. Now it will never fly again.2·2 years agoI would reasonably expect an increase in expected life / flights of a future model for sure but it will be highly dependent on what’s being tested. NASA aren’t making tools, they’re making instruments, if that makes sense. They aren’t producing a rugged tool for accomplishing a mission that someone buys to use, they’re making scientific equipment that carry out experiments and collect specific data. Even the instruments themselves are experiments, such as the durability of joint designs on the collection arms, or the roter materials selected all have a purpose and associated datapoint.
All that to say, the expected lifespan / flights on the next model will reflect the mission goals and budget / cost of the project and not necessarily an accurate expectation of the system. More or less “we designed this instrument to deliver x amount of data” not “we designed this tool to survive y number of uses”.
astrsk@kbin.socialto [Dormant] moved to !space@mander.xyz@lemmy.world•NASA's Mars helicopter broke during a mysterious communication blackout. Now it will never fly again.12·2 years agoThere’s some truth to underestimating the equipment for PR, it certainly has a huge positive PR spin to last 3 years off 5 flights estimate. But at the same time they are spending a lot of their budgets on projects that need to collect data. If 5 flights gives them the guarantee of solid data, then it was a justified project. On the other side of this, it was the first powered flight in any atmosphere outside of earth. There’s no way we had enough data to know just how long or how many flights it would do. Being this far off is reasonable. Same for the previous rovers, their estimates were low and far exceeded. The rover this time around got a much longer estimate, even if it’s beaten it already.
Jetbrains Rider is fantastic and .net 6+ is native to Linux now. You can even get by with VSCode (I prefer VSCodium) with their improved C# tools.
Depending on what you do, there’s also cross platform UI libraries like Avalonia-UI that can fully replace WPF.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Modder re-creates Game Boy Advance games using the audio from crash sounds5·2 years agoA signal is a signal. For system hardware developers it might have been a quick and dirty way to debug the hardware. It could also be an abandoned feature for low level developers and cartridge development teams. We may never know the real answer but it’s not an unreasonable thing to use the thing designed to output waves as a quick hookup point for logic analyzers / oscilloscopes.
astrsk@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Modder re-creates Game Boy Advance games using the audio from crash sounds9·2 years agoHaving not watched this yet, I’m going to guess that this failure state basically results in the processor simply incrementing its address pointer indefinitely which will inevitably just loop across the whole contents of the rom, along with current state ram data? Outputting audio might be a bug in this case, a hardware bug that is. Unless it was an esoteric way for the system designers to debug using oscilloscopes? Maybe it was meant to just dump ram contents but ended up hitting all rom addresses? Either way, I’m excited to watch this when I get some more time and just wanted to speculate based on the short description of the video I read.
And basically the entirety of dotnet 6 forward is spans. It’s all spans. All the way down.
