A lot of games have a dev console with where you can type in a “cheat code” for pretty much anything

Taxing cigarettes without proper redistribution is tricky because taxing cigarettes is also technically taxing poor people since they are the majority of smokers.

Love that movie, best Nazi killing movie IMO

I see nobody mentioned Sisu here.

It’s an absolute banger about a Finnish badass that finds gold in Nazi occupied Finland.

I only tried it on 2 phones, work both times both ways.

Imagine if we could have a 3phase kettle with 3x32A for 22kW. It would in theory boil 1L in 15s.

Microwave is usually 900W while a Non-US kettle can do 3000W on a standard 240V 16A connection so it boils water more than 3x faster.

Very convenient for serving tea and instant coffee and also useful for cooking potatoes, veggies, rice, pasta by boiling water first before pouring it into a pot for a quick start.

TLDR news (news)

The Linux experience (Linux and open source news)

Real Civil Engineer (video games, I scratch the itch without playing)

Kurzgesagt (explainers)

Not Just Bikes (urbanism)

Money and Macro (economics)

Just have a think (energy transition/climate news)

Wendover (deep dives, a lot on aviation)

Real life lore (history, mostly 20th century or later)

Stuff made here (entertaining engineering projects)

Simon Clark (climate news)

Polymatter (mix of economics, history and geopolitics, a lot on China)

Real Engineering (engineering)

Climate Town (climate explainers, a lot on fossil fuel lobby)

I liked her covering science, but her takes on politics were either shallow or just wrong.

Some videos are still worth the watch, it’s not a bad channel but it clearly took a quality hit after Derek started being more hands off. Also you can see it on his face how he’s just there because of a contract. Good for him though.

It’s because it’s the greatest thing since compilers. Having a clear “this is how packages interact” rules and “autodownload dependencies” solves a massive headache. C/C++ packages are basically the wild west.

Marginal value of money at 10T is almost zero.

I quit social media, now I only have Lemmy left. The biggest reason I stuck with it is that my self esteem improved a lot and FOMO stopped being a thing for me.

I’m thinking of switching to 100% intentional consumption right now. YouTube subscribe feed only, Jellyfin and whatnot.

We could have had VM languages also like C# and Java and had web that was actually fast.

I use Claude/Codex, if it finds a thingy that’s reusable it’ll use it but it’ll never create it or ask if it should be created in my experience. I find that it doesn’t create new components but just replicates the existing one.

Within same file is a different story though, it does write helper functions to share logic which is proper.

I never understand why you wouldn’t want to read the code. I prevent a massive amount of correct slop by just skimming. The LLM will 10 times out of 10 never ask “this code will be a massive duplication of exact same behavior, do you want to refractor it?” because it’s trained to finish a task without asking if possible.

Uncle Bob now writes code for his tests instead of tests for his code. I know it’s TDD but it always seemed backwards to me.

Unit tests for logic, integration tests for outside apis, e2e for features is the sweet spot IMO.

To be fair, if your video editor doesn’t support webp in 2026 it has to at least suck a little bit.

Is this a very niche copypasta that I’m unaware of?

Obviously be mad at whoever responded to a request without accept webp in it with a webp or didn’t provide an alternative. Nothing wrong with supporting webp with a fallback
