I'm confused. People are saying this is due to earths curvature, but this is in the northern hemisphere so shorter paths should be more northern, not more southern.

See this map of the actual shortest distance line (purple) for those two points. The image OP's question seems much more reasonable given this information?

A problem with this is that the river presumably goes all the way around the earth. Otherwise you could just travel west until you found its end. You really need a donut shaped earth, a sphere doesn't help much

The vast majority of the volume of semen is made in the prostate and seminal vesicles (which are right next to the bladder), not the testes!

One of the journals I submitted to explicitly banned puns or wordplay in their titles, which felt unnecessarily grumpy

They didn't mention licensing as the reason for the move. The community members in the discourse thread mentioned licensing as their reason for opposing the move. Canonical itself mentioned memory safety and speed as the main reasons, saying the licensing wasn't part of the reason why

That sounds like a pretty cursed occurrence. As you get more familiar with the structure of your operating system, I've found diagnosing and fixing weird issues gets a lot easier. You also get a better sense of what component is responsible for what and what commands let you investigate.

I think it's reasonable to say that weird issues don't stop though. At least for me. I always had tons of weird occurrences on windows too. What feels different about Linux is that I try and figure them out because it's possible I can. Where on windows I would just accept that x was broken.

For a random question in case it's the same no audio bug I encountered recently: Do you happen to play audio via HDMI? And does any audio sink (speakers, etc...) show up in sound settings?

Also do you happen to be using an nvidia gpu (and if so, is it a laptop with an Intel CPU as well?). That freezing issue used to happen to me all the time with some games and it was entirely due to nvidia's Linux driver bugs.

This is the number of times you have upvoted that account

What's also funny is that there is a person asking exactly the same question in the screenshot that you shared

I think the problem here is that terror and terrorism are quite different things. Saying car terrorism implies the intention is to cause mass terror. You can't really accidentally or unknowingly commit a terrorism. Call cars death machines or a scourge, but calling them terrorists seems inaccurate, and maybe more importantly, not useful. It seems to shift the blame from the system that leads to car dominance towards individual drivers as terrorists.

Chatgpt is also probably around 50-100GB at most

That's kinda an insane amount of ram for most simulations. Is this like a machine learning thing? Is his python code just super unoptimized? Is it possible he's making a bunch of big objects and then not freeing the references when he's done with them so they're never garbage collected?

It fulfills a different purpose than system packages. First, it can be run without privileges/system modification, so it works on immutable distributions. Second, it doesn't share libraries between apps (with some exceptions) or the system, so you don't have to package separately for each. It essentially takes some of the container philosophy/tech and brings it to desktop apps. This also gives it some ability to do some sandboxing that isn't as easy with system installed apps.

This approach comes with some downsides. Particularly larger storage requirement for apps, sometimes less integration with the system, and lack of ability for apps to easily call/interact each other unless they're packaged together.

It's meant for complete GUI apps and not small tools/packages that are the standard in system package managers

Mine has a setting to not send more than one notification within X minutes I under settings > notifications > app notifications > some app > minimum time between notification sounds

The important thing is that the game itself uses vulkan. I believe that's entirely independent of whether your window manager uses vulkan. If your games work, then they're probably using vulkan. They won't work any better if sway does as well.

There are absolutely not 2.8 million active subreddits. I just spent like an hour trying to find data on this. Nobody cites their sources. I used a dump of subreddit statistics from 2018, when there were just over a million subreddits. (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ListOfSubreddits/comments/8gzmmv/i_created_a_better_csv_textspreadsheet_list_of/)

There were ~34,000 subreddits with more than a 1000 subscribers. And 100,000 subreddits with more than 125 subscribers.

Looking at https://subredditstats.com/ the top 5000 subreddits make up about 30% (based on an estimated 840,000 posts a day by some reddit user on a subreddit that's currently dark so I can't give a good link) of the daily posts and surely far more than 30% of the daily traffic.

You run into it on the planet backside and then need another bridge, right?

More details about the k-anonimity process. https://blog.cloudflare.com/validating-leaked-passwords-with-k-anonymity/

The short answer is that they download a partial list of passwords that hash to values starting with the same 5 characters as yours and then check if your password hash is in that list locally. This gives the server very little information about your password if it was not breached and more if it was (but then you should change it anyway), making an elegant compromise

There's probably an option in your distro to automatically install updates, but it's annoying when that happens when you're in the middle of something or if they require restarts

I'm not sure what performance improvements you're talking about. As far as I'm aware, the difference between distros on performance is extremely minimal. What does matter is how up to date the DE is in the distribution provided package. For example, I wanted some nvidia+Wayland improvements that were only in kwin 6.1, and so I switched from kubuntu to neon in order to get them (and also definitely sacrificed some stability since more broken packages/combinations get pushed to users than in base ubuntu). It's also possible that the kernel version might matter in some cases, but I haven't run into this personally.

I think the main differences between distros is how apps are packaged and the defaults provided, and if you're most comfortable with apt based systems, I'm not sure what benefit there's going to be to switching (other than the joy in tinkering and learning something new, which can be fun in its own right).

For some users less experienced with linux, the initial effort required to setup Ubuntu for gaming (installing graphics drivers/possibly setting kernel options, etc) might push someone toward a distribution that removes that barrier, but the end state is going to be basically identical to whatever you've setup yourself.

The choice between distributions is probably more 'what do I want the process to getting to my desired end state to be like' and less 'how do I want the computer to run'.
