I see

I don't know how Micro works, and I don't actually use emacs day to day, but as I understand it emacs works a bit like:

• When you press a key in emacs it invokes a Lisp function that takes as arguments the text buffer that has focus, the parameters of the 'window' into that buffer, and the cursor position in that window.
• This is the case for any key you press in any context, even for typing normal letters.
• A 'mode' in emacs is a set of bindings which associate specific keys with specific functions.
• 'modes' can be stacked on top of each other, with higher modes being able to intercept key presses before they reach lower modes, and changes / manipulate lower modes (I think?)
• All of the editor's functionality, such as 'search' or 'undo', is implemented in that way.
• All of this is completely customizable, so pressing a key combo can be made to do virtually anything or manipulate the rest of the editor's systems in any way.

Does Micro work anything like that?

The gnomonic projection renders all great circles as straight lines. Though of course that doesn't show the entire earth at once, so it's kinda cheating.

But yeah, you can't map a 3D object onto a 2D plane without distorting it in some way, you just need to pick the distortions that interfere the least with what you're using the map for. As they say, all maps are wrong, some maps are useful.

I wouldn't lmao

I just think the headline shouldn't sanewash him

Evidence linking Tylenol and autism not definitive "but very suggestive", says health secretary Kennedy.

The Volkswagen XL-1 was a plugin hybrid diesel car, and without using energy from the battery it had 120 MPG.

It was a limited run / concept car though, with a very aggressive aero design. I don't know of any comparable electric cars off the top of my head (besides the Aptera prototypes, which are even more aggressive), but I reckon an electric car with a similar body shape would have even higher thermal efficiency.

Not that it makes that much sense to compare the thermal efficiency of an EV and ICE, unless you're considering the combined efficiency of a fossil fuel power plant and EV. The reason being that you can't practically turn electricity into hydrocarbon fuel (without losing a ton of energy anyway), so if your EV was less efficient than an ICE its not like you'd be going "dang, I'd be better off using these solar panels to make gasoline instead". The important part about electric vehicles from a societal standpoint is that its vastly more practical to decarbonize electricity production than it is to produce carbon neutral motor fuel. From a personal standpoint its that it works out to more miles per dollar.

Did you mean TotK instead of BotW?

I've played Gmod since probably around 2007, but IMO this is a bit disingenuous.

EDIT: also, I'm not a Nintendo lover, actually pretty much hate them for issuing takedowns of fan games and let's plays.

The physics in Tears of the Kingdom is way more stable than Havok. In Gmod even putting a bunch of cans inside a crate can make them start vibrating or cause them to fly out at a million miles per hour after you try picking them up. Walking around on a moving physics object is extremely jank, and can cause you to phase through it or just be killed instantly by mysterious physical forces that appear out of nowhere. In particular, the puzzles that use chains (which have collision with themselves and other objects, unlike Source engine ropes that phase through everything), are way beyond anything you could do reliably with Havok.

In addition to that, TotK takes Gmod's mechanics and uses them as the basis for combat encounters and puzzles, inside an actual campaign with a narrative, environmental design, music, etc. That sort of thing adds a lot; just look at Portal vs Narbacular drop.

And yeah, I know that there are community made gamemodes for Gmod that use its physics mechanics for all kinds of stuff. None of those are a 70 hour long professionally designed campaign. That's not to say that I think TotK's campaign is strictly 'superior' to that community made content, or should be viewed as a substitute for it, but I also don't think the opposite is true either. These are simply two different types of experiences, and neither replaces the other.

I thought you were talking about just opening the drive to use it from the file browser.

I do actually have a drive I use for automated backups, but I just used the GUI to change the automount setting:

I guess that's a little bit inconvenient, but its like 3 clicks, adding a step to something I had to do to set up some other software. Its not any more complicated than disabling sticky keys in Windows.

Except we're not comparing it to disabling sticky keys, we're comparing it to needing needing to follow an entire page's worth of instructions, pressing secret key combinations and entering commands into the terminal, just so you can use your computer without it phoning home to the mothership. And that's on top of the fact that the instructions are probably going to be different in a year since microsoft is deliberately fucking with you.

I just click on it and it mounts and opens

This is Linux Mint btw

I just plugged in an old drive to make sure I'm not going crazy, and I didn't do anything besides hit the power button, log in, and open the file explorer:

And its right there.

Not everyone knows how to, or is physically able to, cook food, but its pretty rare for people to get angry and offended if someone tries to suggest a recipe to them. People do that a lot with computers though.

And yes I use the term evangelist for a fucking reason, and that is because you people are as fucking pushy about your ideology as evangelical Christians.

I didn't realize we were sending gay kids off to camps to be given electroshock therapy.
