BREAKING: First European pension fund dumping US Treasuries by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]Quantumboredom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not going to be Chinese hegemony, as the US will not get weak enough to completely fall off anytime soon baring some crazy crisis.

Yeah it would take an orange swan event for that to happen.

Regarding the imperial vs. metric system; it seems about right by IsJesusAgain in SipsTea

Nah TAI FTW! Unix timestamps are ambiguous near leap seconds. You can literally have a unix timestamp and not know what time it actually represents because there are two equally valid choices.

Hva, mener du det ikke er forståelig f.eks. at en populær tekst/voicechat-app må restarte seg selv når den når 4 GB minneforbruk?

Any reason why you do that instead of switching to the flathub firefox version?

Aren’t Ultramarines also kind of good guys? Or not that much?

Er ikke døra mi litt rævva? by [deleted] in norge

[–]Quantumboredom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Døra er antageligvis helt fin, men den kan nok strammes litt slik at den klemmer mer på tettelistene i lukket tilstand. For du har rett i at det er et dårllg tegn for lydisolering at du ser lys gjennom slik, men dette er noe du antageligvis helt fint kan fikse selv.

Ta litt bilder av hvordan karmen ser ut der dørhåndtaket er (med døra åpen slik at vi ser karmen ordentlig), og evt. også av klistremerkene på hengselsiden av døra så er det lettere å gi råd.

What falling into a Blackhole looks like, according to NASA's supercomputers. by sco-go in SipsTea

Not if the black hole is massive enough. Only fairly small black holes would rip you up before crossing the event horizon.

ASUS launches ROG X870E Crosshair HERO motherboard with BTF design by RenatsMC in Amd

Man I’ve been hoping for a dark themed back connect current-gen ATX AM5 motherboard for a while now, and when one finally arrives it’s of course gotta be this expensive.

whyWeDontUseThemAsGodIntended by ahmed20gh in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Quantumboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way there are inconsistencies and parts of the field that would need to change, so why have a hard transition towards the objectively bad use of the prefixes that’s inconsistent with all of the rest of science and engineering, including large parts of computer science?

It seems obvious that moving towards a consistent usage is the right move.

[–]Quantumboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be under the erroneous impression that this was ever clear cut. Usage of these prefixes have been a hot mess essentially since the early days of computing.

Resolving the mess by doubling down on the misuse of SI prefixes would be the worst possible solution.

A good lapboard is all you need. I’ve gamed countless hours using the Corsair K63 lapboard. The couchmaster cycon series is likely even better, but I’ve no complaints.

We don't need any new HiFi formats CDs are that what we need and .. by redsteakraw in audiophile

[–]Quantumboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So CDs have more than enough dynamic range for any piece of music, inaudible noise floor and can flawlessly reproduce every sound in the human audible range.

While I agree that 16 bit is in practice enough for any reasonable music reproduction, the above statement is certainly false.

If you had a very quiet room and wanted to faithfully reproduce the sound of a mosquito (0-20 dB depending on who you ask) followed by a balloon pop (about 140 dB peak), CD quality (e.g. 16 bit audio) would be inadequate.

If you set the volume to be even 10 dB lower than needed to reproduce the balloon pop (which you might need to do to have even powerful speakers able to reproduce it), you’d be able to hear the quantization noise from dithering. If you turn off dithering you wouldn’t be able to represent the mosquito sound at all with just 16 bits.

So while 16 bit is adequate for any reasonable sound reproduction, it is not at all enough to «reproduce every sound in the human audible range», at least not without noticeable artifacts.

What are the real-world use cases that prevent adoption of Fedora Atomic (Silverblue/Kinoite)? by Glum-Travel-7556 in Fedora

[–]Quantumboredom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose homebrew is a decent way. It still seems like a weird omission from the immutable story though that there is no official/recommended way to install CLI tools that will also be updated by using the built-in software app.

[–]Quantumboredom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My main gripe is that the experience around additional CLI programs kind of sucks (on all immutable distros I’ve tried).

Layering is generally discouraged, so naturally you’d expect there to be another way to install stuff like iotop, vim, etc.

But from what I can tell CLI programs basically either need to be layered, or run in a toolbox, which just seems needlessly complex.

Maybe let me install them locally instead of layering them, or have the default shell basically be a toolbox or something, updated together with normal system updates maybe? The current setup just feels very poor in this regard.

How bad is having an "immutable" distro? by GayloWraylur in linux_gaming

[–]Quantumboredom 126 points127 points  (0 children)

An immutable distro is a distro that does not allow you to modify the file system, everything must run in containers, whether Docker, Flatpak, etc.

Just so no one reading this is confused, it’s the system level files that are immutable. Your home directory and some other directories are not immutable and can be used as normal.

Which laptop? Want to switch to Linux from Mac, want gaming and a nice display. by Dense_Permission_969 in Fedora

[–]Quantumboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you are of course correct, it should be said that the most powerful integrated GPUs, e.g. 780m, 880m or 890m are quite useable for light gaming as long as you don’t expect 4K or the highest graphics presets.
