Why replace something deterministic with something non-deterministic? I can no longer tell someone "just google it" because I don't actually know what will come up...

Google Search hasn't been deterministic in well over a decade.

Two devices searching something will never bring up the exact same results, in the exact same order.

The Road is my favorite fathering book ever. I have recommended it to all my dad friends. Audiobook is excellent too.

I gifted it to a couple of new Dad friends. They never did get back to me about it. Fair.

I can see why, but as a new father the last thing I want my fatherhood associated with is that horrible horrible story.

I read The Road long before I became a father and part of me is, I guess, afraid to read it again now that I have two kids—perhaps because I remember how devastating it was then and suspecting it would be 100x that now. But I do intend to reread it sooner or later.

I've read it twice. Once as a naive 16-year-old. Once, as a young father. Profoundly upsetting the second time.

I'd also suggest Siddhartha for this. Having read it at different points of my life makes it uniquely special.

Its funny you say thay it's the browser slowing you down on your PC. I have an MBP from 2011 and the browser (Safari) is the only thing it can still run extremely well.

The latest browser itself runs fine as well as most old school websites like Hacker News, it's only the "web apps" that run slowly.

Can't throw more than 4gb in there ? Even 8 makes a big difference.

Lenovo only officially supported 4 GB, but you're right - the MB supports 8 GB, and I can confirm it works: that's what I have in mine. That and an SSD make a huge difference.

I maybe could but I dont feel like I'm missing anything with web apps honestly

Yeah, but you can just uninstall offenders

What about microsoft office ?

I want to be able to open word and excel file on my phone, but i don't want to give microsoft access to everything on my phone including dick pics, sextape, bank sheet and other personal data.

Because android allows such bad practice, blocking internet access can be usefull.

With a firewall you can keep using them, instead (and maybe only let through some of the traffic)

For any people that don't know, a modernized fan-modded version of Falcon 4.0. The manual for it is also huge. https://www.falcon-bms.com/downloads/

Having bought a second hand copy with no manual, I printed that badboy out at 25% scale (4 pages per double sided sheet), as it was actually needed to go through the tutorials. Took hours and ended up about 2 inches thick.

> A: For external devices, we recommend to use a HOTAS, VR Headset and / or head tracking device for best experience!

Whoa, they modded VR support into Falcon? Have you tried that and if so how is it?

I have tried it when it came out. It works nice, but wasn’t at the level of immersion DCS gives.

Works fine. It'll work better once they finish the terrain overhaul they're working in.

This is not cynical - it's a common/smart play with little downside taking advantage of a bad situation (e.g., like the CEO being hated in general by the community).

I was going to buy a Pixelbook Go since it's a well-made laptop and I like the simplicity of ChromeOS. Then I realized that the first app I'd install is Firefox since it's vastly superior when it comes to ad-blocking especially on Android.

Is it "heroic" to enter a war with no official support from the West then call on the West to help you? This isn't a movie. This is people dying because he won't give up his right-wing dream of a "free Ukraine" that will still have to do business with its giant neighbor and will always be under that neighbor's influence. Canada is the same for the US. It needs to play the game. Taiwan is the same for China. It plays the game.

Is it "heroic" to stop men from leaving the country so they can fight a war they have no interest in fighting? That seems a bit like he's infringing on their freedom, no? Why is this ignored?

I think OP wanted to make a point that Z is not all sunshine and rainbows.

Ditto all of the above. The book doesn't ask anybody to take all the rules and apply them daily at an extreme. It doesn't ask the reader to remove their free thought. It's more "think about these things as you go through life" and you'll inevitably achieve more power.

But how much is it worth to Australia? There have probably been at least 107 Killian Instagram shots taken there, no? Also, hard to trust an article that misspelled the city's name...

That's how it's spelled in spanish. (I live in Sydney and am learning spanish.) I did however find the inconsistent use of "." and "," for decimal point unusual..

I got hugely into architecture about 20 years ago, and it was my favourite building in the world. I'm a pianist, and for a while back then had a regular gig playing piano in the restaurant near its centre. I'd often look at the ceiling while playing—it was like being inside a giant typewriter—and think how lucky I was!

It's priceless. It's impossible to imagine Sydney without it.
