Photo and Video editing is actually pretty good, since the backends (magick/ffmpeg) are open source

It just works very well, because everyone has to deal with men, but almost nobody knows that getting EATEN ALIVE is an option.

At least that's what triggers me; Uninformed confidence.

Be it "Men can do worse", "Inflation is high, because look at the prices (currently)", or "Marshmallows on hot chocolate are great".

Critical flaw in current wizard fashion

I think this basically just tests how heavy chromosomes/DNA-strands are. By that you can see how long they are. The many lines on the side are the reference-ladder.

The clear lines in the second pic indicate a very clean sample of similar length DNA, while the smears in the first indicate some form of contamination.

Please no, don't subsidize anything Java-Script. It will only make it less efficient.

Or the Latin name for Artemis.

But where are they? I need to know... so I can avoid them...

I never looked into this, so I have some questions.

Isn't the overhead of a new function every time going to slow it down? Like I know that LLVM has special instructions for Haskell-functions to reduce overhead, but there is still more overhead than with a branch, right? And if you don't use Haskell, the overhead is pretty extensive, pushing all registers on the stack, calling new function, push buffer-overflow protection and eventual return and pop everything again. Plus all the other stuff (kinda language dependent).

I don't understand what advantage is here, except for stuff where recursive makes sense due to being more dynamic.

Wanted to dunk on US voter participation, but got corrected.

Maybe the French wouldn't need to protest 24/7 if they actually voted. Like wtf is this XD

How are you famous for protests and revolutions, but don't participate afterwards XD

The housing mar(ule)ket (discuss.tchncs.de)

Most of you probably know the memes about homes not being affordable to younger generations. It is true, that they are, at least, less affordable as illustrated by Figure 4-1. The reasons for that however aren't evil Landlords, who want to leech as much as possible. It is more a combination of several factors:

Years of Bad Politics™️ has led to too few houses being built and now there is a shortage. As any highschooler, after paying attention in economics for 30min, can tell you: low supply + high demand = bad for consumers

Following that, most young people want to live in big cities, preferably the few biggest ones. That puts additional strain on these local markets.

Another big contributor to this problem is that Homeowners want to keep the value of their homes up. Anyone wants their assets to rise in value. But since they are the ones who vote in local elections, they vote to keep houses expensive. That means weird zoning, no new Homes etc.

In defense of renting

Renting apartments or even Houses is a good concept. I pay some entity to keep my housing repaired, up to code etc. As a consequence I don't risk most of my net-worth being deleted by a storm or similar. Renting is more expensive than owning on average, but renters have none of the risk that owning implies.

I personally like fixing and modifying stuff. That includes Computers furniture and Houses. However I also know a lot of people who don't. They don't trust themselves to drill a hole in a wall. For those people shifting the responsibility of fixing smaller things to a landlord can be beneficial.

It also frees people up to move around, when their job/life requires it.

Solutions

Build more houses.

Its that simple. Cities need to rezone and remove houses in favor of multi-family buildings or even skyscrapers. Houses in a city make no sense. You want to be in a city to have a lot of people in a small area. Why would you spread out everyone in suburban wastelands.

If you want a house yourself, go to rural areas. I know you nerds are spending your entire social life on the Internet. It's probably way cheaper to get a fiber connection into the middle of nowhere than paying for city houses. "Mimimi, but there are no queer communities" Then start one. Imagine how powerful all you queer furries will be if you take your tech jobs remote and save like 70% of your housing expenses. Just don't spend the extra cash on more porn.

I know that when I'm done with my degrees I'll be building my lair where no ethics boards will find me. My machines will be efficient and my fungi growing fast.

If I have convinced you to embrace the hermit life, come join me. I am always in need of more minions.

I don't really understand why that is illegal considering that it's pretty similar to what the meat industry does. Maybe there are some laws to protect against invasive species, but he didn't want to free them. Maybe dealing with poachers? Maybe he just needed a license?

Does Trump have ADHD? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Note: This post is satire and not supposed to diagnose anyone.

I recently got diagnosed and I find some of his behaviors kind of relatable. So I decided to watch some of his speeches. Now I learned over the years to act and talk in a more structured way, but if I had thousands of people worshiping me I would also remove that filter. Listening to him I remembered more and more similarities:

All in all a very relatable guy. Now, should you vote for someone I can relate to? Probably not. The only job I qualify for is "mad scientist", which I believe Trump might also qualify for. Now, you might say: "But Mare, he is way to stupid for that." And okay, yea, point taken. I don't want this guy as a colleague anyway.

Some of you may have been wondering what the point of this post is. And to you I say; I don't know, I just want to see what happens if we give this guy Amphetamines. Will he become more effective? Will his supporters realize how dumb he is if he gets his points out more coherently? Will he just immediately die of a heart-attack? And is there a way for me to get more Trumps for a bigger sample size and a control group?

The last question might have an answer: I could run for office as the control group. I don't even need a lot of policies. Just something like: Remove ethics-committees, they are holding back honest Americans trying to further human knowledge.

TL;DR: Plz, plz, plz, plz, give this guy meds. I wanna see what happens. And don't vote for him, I need to run some tests and the Secret Service is really annoying to deal with.

Heyo Newbie Question here (discuss.tchncs.de)

So I recently got my diagnosis and a RitalinLA prescription. I started with 10mg and am now on 20mg. The problem is, that I don't feel any difference. I don't take it on weekends, so I have regular references, but everything is still the same. For reference I'm an early twenties male. Did anyone have similar experiences and if so, was it just a dosage issue? Because I feel like there should be some effect at least.
