I'm not depressed in the slightest myself, but I just don't see why we try to keep all people alive, all the time, at all cost. Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit, but at some point life ends, and I'm fine with that.

If I have had a nice length of life (lets say something like 70 years), and am no longer happy, healthy or capable of taking care of myself, don't save me next time I need saving (in order to live longer).

The computer does exactly what you tell it to do, but never what you mean.

Re:Android in Docker without QEMU/emulator on Tuesday January 04, 2022 @08:25AM (#29794412)

How is that without qemu?
To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.
This only records the whole screen. You might want to try OBS Studio?
Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism.

Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

I'm not American, and I am genuinely curious, why does the FBI investigate this?

I can imagine the US government wanting an investigation in cases like this, and I can understand Beirut wanting (or maybe just allowing) different countries to investigate, but isn't foreign investigations a job of the CIA (or, at least, not the FBI)?

Re:How New York became a metropolis of stoops on Sunday December 27, 2020 @04:36PM (#25554466)
Interesting. Here in the Netherlans only old houses in cities still have these things. What we call "stoep" nowadays is simply the pavement/sidewalk.

Simply run your app in a VM, that should degrade performance, customizable as well.

Re:Boids on Saturday March 28, 2020 @04:58AM (#22710031)
Maybe, but a simulation is only as good as its model. If this model of boids does not have the same properties as the pandemic, the simulation is probably not good enough.

Re:Why Are Alphabet Letters Arranged How They Are? on Monday January 27, 2020 @10:17AM (#22160029)
Ah, the old "elemenopee"
Define better.

It's more CPU/GPU intensive, is not as widely supported, and there probably are more downsides.

Better quality at the same bitrate? For most use-cases: yes.

There is a whole scientific field on this, called Information Theory. Compressing entropy is limited by its randomness.

For instance see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_%28information_theory%...

I stand corrected, I didn't know you could spell it that way. What a weird language we have :)
Re:“Did You Eat the Whole Cake?” On Learning Estonian on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @08:05AM (#21059093)
`borsjtschrokkende`, not `borsjtsjschrokkende`. And yes, that is `mierenneukerig` (nit-picking, literally: ant f*cking). Besides: using a word like borsjt is cheating.

Still here: https://pdoc3.github.io/pdoc/ (bottom only).

Seems like he means well, but if he means that well, why not remove them?
