We can't replace it fully.

We can replace it with cars. We can replace it with trains as well, but electrified track is more expensive than just plopping a diesel engine there and filling her up. Track for that is just steel+concrete and rocks and stuff.

We can not replace it with air planes, helicopters, rockets. At all. We could reduce air travel and stuff like fighter jets.

We can also not replace it for cargo ships. And that's pretty bad news. Luckily ships are crazy efficient, so the actual CO2 and other pollution per ton and kilometer is very very low. If you get a delivery, that delivery comes in a fossil fuel truck to your doorstep, that truck will emit more CO2 than the ship will, going either from china to Rotterdam or the US westcoast. And also global transportation is probably more than necessary.

Anyway, the big problem we can solve are cars and planes.

There are also a bunch of chemical and industrial processes that need coal. Fertilizer and steel are two big ones.

The engine doesn't matter too much.

The problems and how you solve them are usually sort of the same, in terms of 2d and 3d. Meaning:

If you're doing a 2d platformer or a 3d platformer, you will still need to thing about colliding with the floor and the solution will be similar too. For art, it's the same. if you start from scratch, learning 2d art and learning 3d art is both new to you. But you will have animations in both and engines usually just use some "playanimation" function. So 2d vs. 3d is completely up to you and what you want to make.

I can recommend pygame and panda3d if you like python. They're not new engines and they're "code only". Other engines give you an editor, but I prefer the "code only" approach, because there are no hidden settings that you have to search for in the GUI, it's just code.

But the other engines like godot and unity have a ton of learning material too, so that's probably easier to get started with.

I came ready to hate with bias because I often don't like wrappers, but at least the .format seems like an objective improvement.

But I never understood why matplotlib insists on ax, fig and that's still in there...

Directly working with matplotlib classes tends to be more clear and concise than pyplot, makes things easier when working with multiple figures and axes, and is certainly more “pythonic”.

I disagree.


Looks like a solid project overall! Thanks for your effort!

Oh yeah. My favorite (and only) plugin so far is the https://github.com/twibiral/obsidian-execute-code

Let me explain: Obsidian is basically a very fancy wrapper around a folder with markdown files in it. (which makes it git compatible, which is one of the upsides). In Markdown, you can define codeblocks, with syntax highlighting, because of course you can, programmers will improve their own tools first. Now, there are two cases when you would do this:

  1. you want to execute the code because it's actually driving something. Like some kind of interactive, "this is the manual, but also, you can just do it right away by executing this code" and then they give you the code.
  2. you're actually building it as a document, and you want something in your document that is actually the output of some program that's producing some output. Like... analyzing numbers and creating a graph. You can now just put the code in the document, hit "execute" and you get your output in the document right then and there. And that concept isn't new, it's what "jupyter" also does, but jupyter uses a weird bytecode, xml zip format or something, in obisidian, because of the markdown base, it stays just code. (which again, makes it git compatible where jupyter isn't) AND you can do it not just with python but with...

"new"?

The fediverse is really nice. Some cool advances in programming, but nothing major.

Obsidian is really nice, with plugins can do virtually everything you'd want from a note taking or even writing app.

localsend is a syncing/sending solution via wifi for smartphones or computers in the same network.

And to reward you, we’re giving you 24-hour visibility

(which is nothing special; there are 6 slots available for this visibility every day of the year for various Steam invitations).

He has no clue what he's talking about Steam in 2021 had 69 MILLION daily active users. WTF do you think is a bigger number 130.000 wishlists or getting even 1% of 69 million people to look at something in the reel?

People don't understand the size of steam or the value of that space (that one of six slots) sometimes. It's wild.

And also, THEY noticed, THEY informed him, THEY apologized, and THEY offered some form of compensation, which they legally don't have to.

I am soooooooooooooooo tired of indie devs blaming everything from the constellation of the stars to the quality of the donuts on a different continent for their game not doing well, except that maybe the game isn't that good, and also those 100.000 already sold units is the actual size of the market for that game.

Teen was third employee of city bike safety center to die in bike crash

Ah yes. It's not that A CAR crashed into her, it was a bike crash.

/s

Awful. Just awful that this keeps happening.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn't have these restrictions.

Also, updates.

"hey computer! Update!"

"Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?"

"y"

"ok... done!"

👌

Finde ich leider wieder symptomatisch.

Es ist außerordentlich schwierig an die eigentlichen Texte und Stellungnahmen und Positionen zu kommen, weil die Zeitungen sie nicht weitergeben, die Diskussionen oft hinter verschlossenen Türen stattfinden.

Die Vorschläge und Forderungen decken das ganze Feld ab, mehr Strafen, Waffengesetze, Änderungen im Grundgesetz, Änderungen im Umgang mit Asyl, Änderungen vom Umgang der Bundesländern untereinander.

Aber ich vermisse den tatsächlichen Bezug auf reale Probleme und reale Umstände. Ich glaube zum Beispiel nicht das selbst wenn es ein "Messerverbot" geben würde, das dann tatsächlich die Polizei überall Taschenkontrollen machen würde.

Selbst wenn die Forderung sinnvoll wäre, wäre sie nicht umsetzbar, ohne massive Veränderungen in der Finanzierung, dem Verhalten, der Personalpolitik etc..

Es ist nicht klar ob die Forderungen wenn man sie tatsächlich ausformuliert zu unseren Werten passt.

Es ist nicht klar, ob einige Konsequenzen der Forderung nicht sowieso schon die Probleme gelöst hätten. Und es ist unklar, weil nicht so richtig ehrlich mit den Daten und Fakten umgegangen wird wie es notwendig wäre.

Es ist ja sowieso eigentlich ständig Wahlkampf, aber ich finde diese Schwäche in der Argumentation wirklich besorgniserregend.

Es kann doch nicht sein, das wir bei jeglichem Thema ohne jede Bodenhaftung einfach irgendwas fordern, irgendwas tun und uns dann wundern wenn der bunte Mix an kontextlos getroffenen Entscheidungen nicht funktioniert?


Wie seht ihr das?

Habt ihr "gute" Quellen wo tatsächlich mal was drin steht wie machbar oder sinnvoll eine der Aktionen wäre?

Meinungen? Eindeutige, klar bessere Vorschläge die der Rest der Republik irgendwie nicht wahrnimmt?


Eigentlich ist es ein Rant über die niedrige Qualität der Diskussion "die man so sieht".

Ah yes. Work that tracks you, not by your output, but by whether your mouse jiggles a statistically correct amount. Nice.
