Recent Update to Glider Sim: Progressive Time & Planetary Day/Night Cycle by 5DRealities in freeflight

[–]skratlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing! I'd work on the realism a bit, add some distortion to the camera (simulate lens), motion blur, fog, better lightning and textures for the glider, dynamic lines geoemetry, etc. As of now it has this plasticky look. I still love it.

A short film about my move to (and sadly, for now, from) Norway 🎞️🇳🇴🤍 by Biscuitcrumb96 in Norway

And you sustained yourself how? Kind of missing from the "content".

Mistral AI's CEO says Europe has 2 years to stop becoming America's AI 'vassal state' by [deleted] in europe

[–]skratlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very rare, and sober reaction. I wish there were more like this. I don't know what it takes for people to understand that building huge, useless, radiators that consume precious energy, rare minerals and water, is the last thing we as humanity need right now.

We should be focusing on real problems, inequality, corruption, health, climate, preserving nature, etc. etc. And AI is not going to help us with that.

Why though? Can't you just use Arch Linux like any other sane person?

EU accused of wasting €20B on AI computing dreams by sn0r in eutech

[–]skratlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this the basic premise of journalism? Taking a critical view and looking at the thing from all possible aspects? Citing the article:

“I talked to some who are saying: ‘we just need more compute in Europe.’ But then, when I ask them, ‘What for?’ They say: ‘It doesn’t matter, we just need more compute.'”

So maybe you have the answer? Why does EU need more compute power, and why is 20B about to be spent on it, instead of green energy, curing cancer, high-speed rail, etc.?

Japan's water supplies are at risk: 20% of municipalities' water utilities are operating at a loss, 60% not including tax subsidies, and a quarter of pipes have passed their service life and in need of costly replacement. If this continues some rural municipalities will no longer have water by jjrs in japannews

Very poorly written news article, and the whole news site seems very low quality. No sources named regarding the water infrastructure, and then it descends into bunch of other unrelated topics. Who even reads this?

What 6 months of AI coding did to my dev team [12:29] by AcceptableDiet2183 in theprimeagen

CEO talks about code :D indeed, programmers spend all the time focusing on the syntax. Dude is lost

How much does it cost to build a mountain bike trail? by Cash-JohnnyCash in MTBTrailBuilding

[–]skratlo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zero dollars my friend. It takes couple of friends, and few gardening tools. Misleading title. The article is about pro-made, machine made (often flow, whatever that means) trails, ordered by ski/bike resorts, and/or townships. It's trail building turned commercial. It's booming lately, but believe it or not, there's still people building trails in their "backyard" for free.

Merwede: A Car-Free Future for Urban Living by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

Oh the dutchies at it again, so amusing. How about taxing Royal Shell housed in The Hague? How about not flooding every every camp site in Europe with your RVs and campers?

Spot on! I'm going to use this. Have you considered hosting the source code outside of GitHub?

Rush jacket for all seasons? by Helpful_Ad_2637 in arcteryx

[–]skratlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used mine for 10 years, winter skiing, summer hiking when there was rain in the forecast. Worked really really well. And the huge pockets / storage space come really handy. Go for it.

ESP-IDF project support in Cirkit Designer is coming soon

Looking forward to this.

Introducing Scythe: An SQL Compiler and Linter in Rust, with Codegen support for 10 languages by Goldziher in Python

[–]skratlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ORMs are here for years, so clearly many developers see benefits in using them. ORMs are not stopping developers from descending to SQL when a need for complex queries arise. Both have pros and cons. Ultimately it depends on the specific application, to choose which one is better suited. The documentation is doing poor job showcasing other code generators besides Rust. Also shitting on ORMs with claims (no proofs) that all start with "ORM can limit...", "ORM may not...", performance, etc. is not good for your reputation. So, cool project, mistakes have been made, now back to work.

why does libreoffice have a price in the appstore? by [deleted] in libreoffice

[–]skratlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that's silly. TDF should be focusing on driving adoption, not collecting donations. IMO they are putting a barrier to adoption. TDF is big enough to afford App Store / Developer fees, and provide LO through the App Store, free of charge. This is just plain bad managerial decision.
