  • Wanting to and actually doing it are two different things.

    The problem is that open source devs also have to be their own project managers, but those two jobs have very different skillsets.

    In regular software development, it’s the PM’s job to deal with the drama, filter the idiocy out and collect concise and actionable user stories, and let the developers just write code.

    In open source, you tend to deal with a lot of entitlement. All kinds of people, who never gave you a dime, come out out of the woodwork to yell at you over every little change. The bigger and farther reaching a project is, the more this happens, and it wears you down. I can only imagine what it’s like working on a huge project like GNOME.

    And the toxicity feeds into itself. Be kurt with one person, and suddenly it gets out that you’re an asshole to users. Then people come in expecting hostility and react defensively to every little comment. And that puts you in the same mindset.

    At the end of the day, you can’t satisfy everyone. Sometimes you gotta figure out how to tell someone their feature request is stupid and you’re not gonna work on it, especially not for free. And a lot of people need to learn to try to fix problems themselves before opening an issue. That’s kind of the whole point of open source.



  • At this point, no. But it’s still incredibly annoying and a little spooky when I’m laying in bed and I see my computer screen light up in the next room when it’s not supposed to.

    It’ll even wake itself from sleep when it wants to update, but it won’t start it automatically, I think because it hits the lock screen.

    I’ll probably try Linux on ir when Windows 10 hits EOL.

    Yeah, even the actual sentiment of the video is more like, “it’s not great but it’s the name that stuck and there’s solidarity behind it.”

    The problem, as always, is lumping people together when they didn’t ask to be. Most of the newer, more “politically correct” terms are even more generic and alienating, and, once again, being forced on them from outside.


  • This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.

    I’m not a networking expert by any means but this seems like a pretty strong hint that it’s a routing issue.

    Check the routing tables on the host? I’d bet that the internet is only reachable on the LAN interface (again, not an expert but one of them has to take priority, right?). I’m guessing that disconnecting the LAN interface changes the routing to go through the WLAN interface instead.

    You could possibly add a static route to work around this: https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#static-routes

    Where does that expansion come from? As far as I can tell, m0v^(2)/2 only gives you the kinetic energy of the object where v << c, in which case the difference between relativistic mass and rest mass is negligible?

    And where does the O(v^4) term come from?

    (MC^2 + C√P)^2 wouldn’t give you that result though, because you have to FOIL.

    Instead you’d get M^(2) C^4 + 2MC^(3)√P + PC^2

    And that’s not even the correct formula. It’s

    E^2 = (mc(2))2 + (pc)^2

    You can’t just naively apply a square root unless one of the terms is vanishing (momentum for a stationary mass, giving E = mc^2, or rest mass for a massless particle, giving E = pc = hf).

    The way to remember this is that it’s equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem, A^2 + B^2 = C^(2).

    So it in fact only makes sense if AI = 0.

    I finally got around to trying this. I don’t see the point. By the time the cheese was re-melted, the crust turned into a hard cracker and it took ten times longer than the microwave. It’s quite possible I had the stove up too high (it’s an electric stove and I had it on 4/10), but I’d still say the point goes to the microwave for being quicker and having greater margin for error.

    That’s effectively what I do, I don’t just blast it for a minute and a half.

    I normally don’t futz with the power settings but I’ll do 30s at a time and check if it’s heated, then move it around so the hotspots in the microwave hit different parts of it (the turntable only does so much).

    Bite me, I don’t have the counter space for a toaster oven and I’m not heating up the actual oven every time I want a leftover slice.

    If the pizza is made from quality ingredients to begin with, it survives microwaving decently well. Mushrooms just refuse to play ball.

    Even some of the ones that are edible still secretly want to kill you. From the Wikipedia entry for “chicken of the woods”:

    In some cases eating the mushroom "causes mild reactions … for example, “swollen lips” or in rare cases “nausea, vomiting, dizziness and disorientation” to those who are sensitive. This is believed to be due to a number of factors that include allergies to the mushroom’s protein or toxins which are only somewhat stable at high temperatures.

    I’ll eat portabellos if they come on pasta or pizza (though I’ve started taking them off the latter because they turn to rubber in the microwave) but I sure as hell am not going out of my way to order any dish that features them (mushrooms) as the main protein.
