They are technically correct in that it's the developers fault that they tied themselves to a proprietary game engine.

In the other hand Godot was nowhere near mature when the slay the spire devs most likely started development. They would be dumb if they used unity for their next game 🤷

Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.

That's a job for the parents though isn't it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.

Good question, that one can only speculate on. IMO it's a two part question.

First is that newly built nuclear plants are expensive. So the question depends on if we bite the bullet (build the reactor) today or in 2070. One built today will produce cheap power in 50 years.

For example in Finland we have reactors from 1980, that make up the backbone of stable energy production in our country. Those are going to be kept online till the 2050s. I'd argue at that point the cost per kwh will be mostly dependent on maintenance and fuel, so relatively small.

Wind and solar cannot reap the same benefits if you have to replace the plant every 20 years.

Storage is a completely separate question that is not taken into account when new wind farms and such are being built. If one was to account for storage today, the cost of renewables would be much closer to that of other means of production.

Also in the future, if storage costs keep falling due to billions of R&D money, similar effects could be achieved in nuclear via serial production and scale.

EDIT: Just read you have studied this stuff for real. Then ignore most of what I said, as you might know better :D

Fortunately the nuclear reactor can be operated for >50 years :)

Then just try to leave. If they try to stop you the situation kinda changes and would not be considered sexy anymore.

EDIT: also this has kinda changed in the recent years, where the initial situation could also be seen as inappropriate.

Is this really a year old post? It was a good read regardless.

To comment on the topic, this is going to happen more and more, especially as proprietary stuff becomes more and more complex. With implants it's obviously more serious, but this also applies to anything from cars to game consoles.

I'm no stranger to scrounging junkyards for car parts or ebay to replace components from an old console. However that cannot go on forever, as parts get more rare. This is somewhat remedied with eg. nintendo consoles, where some reproduction parts are available (cartridges, screens etc.). With more niche and increasingly complex products this option is often not available.

Hyvä että julkaisevat tosiaan. Tällaista journalismia itse kaipaan eniten. Eli paketoidaan ajankohtaisia asioita kiinnostuneille ns. helposti sulateltavaan muotoon ilman klikkiotsikointia.

Niin tyyppi on ollut munasillaan lelupyssyn kanssa kuvassa, jossa pari kaveria vetää natsitervehdyksiä? Jos johonkin toimintaan voisi laittaa perusteluksi "kännissä ja läpällä", niin tässä olisi hyvä ehdokas. Varsinkin jos on yli 20v vanha tapahtuma.

HS:n artikkelissa puhuttiin mein kampf kirjan kanssa poseeraamisesta, mutta se näytti räikeästi muokatulta kuvalta.

On hieman huvittavaa, että työssäkäyvä ihminen äänestäisi valtaan hallituksen, joka rajoittaa työssäkäyviltä: lakko-oikeutta, sairausloman korvauksia, työsuhteen turvaa ja muilla tavoin työntekijän oikeuksia.

Luulin että tällainen sekoilu on lopetettu?

If you were to host the entire forum on a blockchain, every node would have to hold the blockchain. So not scaling horizontally, but instead copying the "database" a bunch of times. Think of hosting all of the data in reddit on a thousand nodes. Sure you could access it from any node, but the database would be just as big as before, just copied around a bunch of times.

In a way this thing is already much more decentralized than a blockchain could ever be, in that every server doesn't hold all of the data at once. Much better use of resources IMO.

Very much this. I've got an almost automatic habit of opening reddit when I'm bored and don't have much to do. After a couple of times of seeing that message, I've been searching for the lemmy counterparts for my favourite subs. Turns out a lot of them are getting some steam!
