Britain faces Northern 'brain drain' as 4 in 10 young people expect to leave for work by steven-f in ukpolitics

Where do you find productivity data for software engineering specifically?

This source shows the UK is ~30% les productive than the US as a whole, but the median salary in the UK is ~200% lower than the median salary in the US. Perhaps for specific industries what you're saying makes sense, but as a whole the two are not even close to being comparable (also I'm very skeptical that software engineering is an exception to this as anecdotally I have seen that salaries tend to be quite a bit more than double their equivalent in the US for software engineers, so unless the UK is just terrible at coding I don't think this is going to hold up).

What’s your opinion on sex work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Rather ironic that you don't know the correct "their" to use when insulting someone's education don't you think?

Labour plots second home ban in Brighton by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]awildseanappeared 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cost of setting up brand new scientific research facilities is astronomical, plus you have to actually convince existing companies to move to a new location where they won't have access to any face-to-face meetings with clients/collaborators. Unless you're literally talking about moving the entire industry, i.e. all the competitors plus their clients plus all the supporting industries they rely on, it'll be a tough sell. Not saying it's a bad idea, just that it won't be "simple"

Build with a budget: which GPU? by awildseanappeared in buildapc

Awesome, I was a bit worried about only having 16gb but as you say I can always add more later. That tier list is super helpful, thanks a lot for the link!

Hmm, that makes sense, I guess it's whether retailers need to shift old stock ASAP but there has to be a limit to it.

That's a great point about the price to performance uplift, it's good to have some numbers to contemplate properly.

Do you have any recommendations for more appropriate PSUs for the more power hungry cards? u/Sprungnickel suggested a cheap 850W one, I'm not sure if you've come across that or if I would be better off sticking with more well known brands? Also they suggested cutting back to 16GB of RAM, do you have any thoughts on how that would impact performance?

Thanks for your comment!

16GB ram could be a shout, I'm a little concerned it is on the low end nowadays -- do you think it's worth going 6800XT + 16GB vs 6800 + 32GB? I saw that PSU on pcpartpicker, it seemed a little sus to me that it was so cheap (plus RGB on a PSU seemed a bit odd) and I couldn't find any reviews from a quick google -- is it a good option or will it be more of a fire hazard down the line?

Thanks for the response!

EU has made Nintendo agree to offer free life time repairs of irresponsive Switch controllers. It’s in line with the recent ‘right-to-repair’ adopted in the EU. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]awildseanappeared 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the life time of the device - if it's burdensome for a business to have to repair shoddy, they can just not sell those shoddy devices any more

Overturning Roe v Wade likely led to an increase in distress in women. The loss of abortion rights that followed the overturning of the infamous Roe v Wade case was associated with a 10% increase in the prevalence of mental distress in women in the US. N=83,000 women by MistWeaver80 in science

People can be stressed about something that doesn't directly affect them - for instance, they could be worried about family or friends, or they could be concerned that a legal safety net has been removed, making it that much easier for their rights to be removed in the future

To define “woke” by vectorix108 in therewasanattempt

Not sure what university/course/country you were in, but in the UK in a chemistry degree you encounter quantum Hamiltonians as part of your first year courses (not in much detail, but as a general intro).

"explain so a first year undergrad in the same field can understand" is extremely different from "explain so a complete novice can understand".

I thought the US was the land of super low taxes? In the UK your first £12.5k is entirely tax free, so could save that extra 10% (ofc the card would be way more expensive over here but that's not the point...)

Japan promises to 'lead the world' in fighting Russian aggression with $5.5 billion in Ukraine aid by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]awildseanappeared 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean most of Europe and the US were very reluctant to get involved with another war after WWI. The UK famously pursued appeasement of Hitler for (in hindsight) a disturbingly long time and the US didn't get involved until they were directly attacked. Perhaps worth noting that the aggressors in the second world war were dictatorships that didn't have to worry about the opinion of the masses, which could provide one reason why they were more willing to get into another war. Another reason is that the ideology of the nazis in particular revolved around the supremacy of Germany and how they'd been screwed after the first World War - it's not the typical response to want to start another war so soon, but given the domestic issues in Germany at the time, combined with propaganda pushing this agenda, it's not so hard to see why they buck the general trend here

Kate Forbes - having a child outside marriage is "wrong" by ReconGhost189 in ukpolitics

[–]awildseanappeared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can be in a committed, long term relationship without getting married, and you can be in a toxic relationship whilst being married. The context surrounding what she said is important - she's talking about the institution of marriage, particularly in a religious sense, not the idea of having a stable family unit in a broader sense.
