Gamers Nexus did a very in depth review of the Steam Machine [1], which includes a comparison to a build yourself similar machine.

The result is that for about 70 dollars less you can put together a somewhat more powerful PC than the Steam Machine, but not for that form factor, it would still be bigger.

IMO, the Steam Machine is not a bad purchase if you are in the market for that type of product.

How does one get started in the telescope building hobby?

As someone who was raised Christian, since when do Christians believe in equal rights for women?

It's the Internet. Just assume they are American unless otherwise specified.

Instead of making it work with Discord, built it around xmpp with as many of the same niceties that discord offers and get yourself a working alternative on an open, powerful protocol, fully FOSS.

People want to get away from closed, centralised applications. The sentiment is the strongest it's ever been. But they don't have compelling and working enough alternatives to do so.

If you are wondering about the capabilities, Stardew Valley was made in MonoGame.

I wonder how it compares, if at all, with Godot nowadays.

And what's the truth?

I mean, ignoring the fact that it's one example versus a list of examples I posted, I still don't think Debian website is that bad. I remember how it used to be, when it had a link to get the CDs with the distro and the option of getting all the packages in the package manager repository. Debian evolved like everybody else.

To me, and of course this is personal, Debian website looks pretty professional in an enterprise-y kind of way. I quite like it.

But then again, it's one example. Hell, even OpenSUSE's website looks super slick and modern.

That has not been the case for quite a long time now. Lots of distros still have websites that look like a wiki, see Arch. But in their case the Arch wiki is one of the best wikis ever existed for what it covers.

If you look at modern yet established distros, I struggle to find the outliers that don't have professional looking, slick web pages. See all the *buntus, Fedora, Elementary OS, Cachy OS, Bazzite, Endeavour, Manjaro, Linux Mint, and so forth.

My only beef is I can't completely disable tabs, but I don't know of any equivalent browser that can.

There is an addon[1] that allows you to discard tabs both manually and with a degree of automation. I've been using it for a while and it works quite well.

I'm not posting this as an endorsement. I'm posting this because I'm curious of what HN thinks about this, and if anybody is aware of any issues with it.

In the early 1990s, anthropogenic sulfur dominated in the Northern Hemisphere, where only 16% of annual sulfur emissions were natural, yet amounted for less than half of the emissions in the Southern Hemisphere.

Such an increase in sulfate aerosol emissions had a variety of effects. At the time, the most visible one was acid rain, caused by precipitation from clouds carrying high concentrations of sulfate aerosols in the troposphere. At its peak, acid rain has eliminated brook trout and some other fish species and insect life from lakes and streams in geographically sensitive areas, such as Adirondack Mountains in the United States. Acid rain worsens soil function as some of its microbiota is lost and heavy metals like aluminium are mobilized (spread more easily) while essential nutrients and minerals such as magnesium can leach away because of the same. Ultimately, plants unable to tolerate lowered pH are killed, with montane forests being some of the worst-affected ecosystems due to their regular exposure to sulfate-carrying fog at high altitudes.[1]

Sure, let's have ~2 years of that.

Then they look for a Discord server.

How? Are there ways to search for discord servers that might have content you want inside of them? Like, directories of discord servers? I'm genuinely curious because that would be very useful.

Would you be willing to share their name? Even privately?

Yeah it was very patient of them to allow all those people to create, curate and moderate content on their platform at no cost to reddit.

At risk of sounding stupid in public, what does that epilogue mean? I've read it several times now, and aside from being surprised at how fluid it still reads despite the parsimonious use of punctuation, I really can't figure out what it's talking about.

Pierluigi Randi, the president of Ampro, the association of weather experts, told La Repubblica it was the worst flood to affect Italy in a century. It followed flooding in Emilia-Romagna and parts of Marche in early May in which two people died. Six months’ worth of rain fell in two weeks.

“We need to prepare ourselves, this is the climate crisis,” Randi said.

Before the latest floods, Emilia-Romagna and other areas of northern Italy were blighted by a drought that dried out land, reducing its capacity to absorb water.

Why a tungsten rod in particular?

Do they shatter when you drop them?

Is there a way to rapport an arcmin to a measurement that would be more easily understandable? Not necessarily as a multiple of grains of rice.

And that the device is incapable of recognising the lack of Internet access and connect to your neighbour open network instead.

"My life was hard, so your life should be hard as well."

Yeah, let's keep not evolving as a species.

Is there even going to be something left at all, or someone left, anywhere, depending on the choices of weapons they make in the next few days?

There are a couple of highly technical, highly capable game studios.

Which ones are those?

Isn't that how you end up in an endless Solar System war?

Belta-lowda! Belta-lowda! Belta-lowda!

What's a private tracker?

To me, the thing that brings me back to Krita over and over is that fact that it's intuitive to use. I've been trying to use GIMP for the past 10 years and still have no idea how to resize an image/canvas or where the heck the crop tool is. In Krita those things are exactly where I end up looking for them.

There's a pretty good Numberphile Podcast episode[0] about this. It doesn't go deep into mathematical details of the topic, it's more of an overview of the current state of things and an explanation of ways in which ML can help coming up with new theories/conjectures.

If you don't mind me asking: how does the visa work for the UK from EU? For a long time now I've had your same idea to move to London (or close by) for a stint, from a different EU country, but then Brexit happened and I had basically given up hope.
