I mean I don’t really need any studies. Was Einstein as good of as a writer as Shakespeare? Nope! Although I’m sure he was generally “smart” his main focus of intelligence was physics.

However, after re-reading my comment I was a little unclear. When I said: “Intelligence isn’t general it’s specific“ I should have said: “My (And I think others as well) definition of intelligence is how well educated you are in a specific subject. I would never ask someone how smart they are (not useful) but I could ask if they are good at calculus (intelligence in math)”

Yea but if you are a megamind in math that doesn’t mean you are a Shakespeare level writer. Intelligence isn’t general it’s specific

That’s a crazy amount more!
I mean it’s not their trademark to enforce. Is just having “Doom” in part of your name enough to confuse people with the game? I think not, especially because this isn’t even a video game.
Yeah but being able to retake them just does both well! It’s purely better in most cases
A good teacher by (my) definition teaches students the material well… I don’t think you understood my original comment.
Can you tell me the difference between a 4.0 and a 3.9? Usually I find it to be a ~1-2%! That 1% difference is just one sign error, rounding mistake or miss read question on a midterm! However that difference between how that looks on your transcript is extremely substantial. I feel like 1% is just waaay to “accurate” for teachers to handle! Finding a good teacher is much more important than working hard or understanding the material. I think it should just be pass or fail
Redoing tests is actually amazing! Worst case is that you learn the same amount and best case you really get a good understanding of the material! I’ve had two classes with test redos and I always learn more with them!
Yes but that’s not what I said! If you make a game that doesn’t have native support I will not buy it. 70% is much bette than 0%! I’m sure if they had the choice between no fees or 30% fees and Linux support they would take the zero but they don’t.
Maybe I wasn’t clear but if you dont have native support then it’s really worth the 30%! If a game does it’s more debatable. I also always try to buy the DRM free version if it’s available!
Yeah I rarely ever “like” a company but Valve has done so much it’s honestly amazing. The 30% they take is soooo worth it for developers who don’t have natural Linux support.
Yeah 10 times a small number is still small.
It’s already down the slope! It’s wrong to deny people the care they need.
I could be wrong but I don’t think Gaijin was created or contracted by the military to make the game.
Yeah each one has pros and cons. However if your doing POST and GET requests (Or monitoring network traffic in general) Firefox is much much better than Chrome!
Re:Steam Top 50 Games: Over 70% now work on Linux on Saturday September 11, 2021 @12:55PM (#28493514)
Could mean that. I was just commenting that most of the games that don’t work are from anti cheat or some kind of online multiplayer issue.
Re:Steam Top 50 Games: Over 70% now work on Linux on Saturday September 11, 2021 @12:52PM (#28493483)
You and me are in the same boat. I don’t like multiplayer games and most AAA games aren’t my cup of tea so out of the ~20 games I really play all of them work great!
Re:Steam Top 50 Games: Over 70% now work on Linux on Saturday September 11, 2021 @10:42AM (#28492337)
The biggest problem is anti cheat software. As soon as they figure that out it’ll get a lot higher!
Re:The red warning light on Richard Branson’s space flight on Thursday September 02, 2021 @01:04AM (#28388828)
After watching a couple episodes I figured it was fake but it’s fun too see all the houses! Fun way of seeing what an area is like
Yeah it would have to stop obviously. But let’s take it the other way! Do you think working 20 hours a day 7 days a week is optional efficiency? We need to find the right balance!
Re:Driving 1725km in an electric car in 2 days on Sunday August 08, 2021 @01:42AM (#28104465)
Yep yep that insurance rate is nasty! I just think it’s interesting that oil changes are slowly disappearing!
Re:Driving 1725km in an electric car in 2 days on Saturday August 07, 2021 @01:20AM (#28095942)
All good points! However one thing EVs have is much cheaper maintenance! Having no oil changes adds up in savings.
Governor does not care.
I did mean to generalize because I’m betting the majority of people do enjoy Netflix or similar platforms. However I guess some people didn’t quite get that when I said “they are fun!” I meant “they are fun for most people” so I apologize! (I would edit the comment to be more specific but I can’t anymore!)
They are fun! Basically the annoyance of going to work is grater that the entertainment of Netflix. The article also says 2/3 would take a small pay cut to work from home!

I’ve always wanted to have something like this! Thanks so much!!
Re:Why printers add secret tracking dots (2020) on Monday August 02, 2021 @02:18AM (#28033439)
Thank you so much! I really like the look of it and a nearby store has one. Picking it up tomorrow!
Re:Why printers add secret tracking dots (2020) on Sunday August 01, 2021 @12:53AM (#28023879)
All modern printers do this. Most annoying thing ever!
Also I have tried to get a patent for a silly thing I made. If I wanted the real deal and not patent pending it would cost like 10k minimum. A lo for a single person but nothing for a company.
Isn’t what you just said technically a factoid?
