    AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.

    If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

    AI powered code completion is another story though and I'm looking forward to it.

    A lot of it did survive during the Byzantine era and big industrial projects such as harbours and bridges were still being built. People would have kept it and maintained it but the black plague and famine destroyed the population and economy. These ancient megaprojects need a large population to maintain and a lot of money, neither of which was available.

    You'll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

    There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

    That's probably not going to work. There will be less incentive for companies to work on a game if they can't turn it into money stream. Especially big and expensive games. I think the outline above is pretty fair and a good start. They should throw on top of it banning loot boxes since they essentially develop gambling behavior in children.

    One of the things LNG has over coal is that it's very easy to turn off and on in case cheaper sources aren't producing enough. LNG plays much better with renewables and coal also produces ton of pollution and particulate matter. It's the lesser of two evils when there are no methane leaks.

    Methane leaks will still punch the climate in the gut so any leaks are unacceptable and all methane gas needs to be accounted for.

    Both obviously need to be replaced with renewables and large cost efficient energy storage. Hydrogen is attractive since energy doesn't degrade over time, pumped hydro for weekly to monthly high quantity and power, flywheels/lithium batteries to stabilise the grid frequency, heat storage with district heating for households and redux flow batteries with massive containers for winter/summer differences.

    I think it depends on how you use the OS, Gnome is great until you have a bunch of outdated extensions that break stuff. My impression is that KDE is better for the "advanced" use case and gnome is better for the "default". I tried gnome recently and I found it very pleasant and easy to use but I prefer KDE since it has more customization.

    I'd argue it's the other way around. Windows is doing the heavy lifting of being like KDE and when they try to do something themselves everybody hates it.

    Yeah, I heard some slogans at one point and I thought "That's sounds pretty nice, let's check her out". I then watched a single interview with her and I was thoroughly disappointed. No plan, no knowledge about the problem, no idea about common solutions. Not even just answering with a politician segue into a prepared statement either, just a train wreck.

    I think the green party might go somewhere, just not under Jill Stein.

    Jill Stein has some good ideas but her party needs to spend some quality time working on a very narrow set of counties/states they're strongest in.

    I think there will be some appetite in the electorate for an anti-establishment, voter-reform, anti-corruption left party. The US sorely needs a nice set of representatives that bring forward fresh ideas and criticism to the parliament.

    The strategy for third parties should always be to get some seats and then hope for a hung parliament to get one or two policies adjusted and voter reform as a coalition agreement.

    As a sidenote here I have a different issue where handing people your CC info is basically handing out the private keys to your bank account to a third party.

    I'd really like it if a credit card would use a public key system where you can verify that I have the funds and that the payment originates from the payment provider instead of getting my full CC details. I don't really see why it's necessary for a business to know who I am instead of just getting a green light from Mastercard or Visa to make the payment.

    I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it's problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person's traits as a solution to differences.

    Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you're being shown it from his eyes.

    This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn't as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

    Lovely show

    I like the concept and I think the use case is almost covered by generating API client through generated OpenAPI spec.

    It's needs a bit of setup but a client library can be built whenever a backend server is built.

    In a game where you can dodge attacks 2x damage makes a lot more sense than 2x health. They could also just increase game speed by 10-20% to make everything more chaotic. More enemies + more drops also works pretty well IMO but a sponge just makes everything take sooooo long. RPGs already often have long battles that can take 10 minutes and making the 20 where you use up all consumables, ammo etc is just bad.

    Another point on this. CBD and THC content are inversely correlated. So high TCH will almost always result in very low CBD. So instead of getting the high + relax you just get high.

    One of the best weed I've ever smoked was "shit weed" which put me into a "relax and enjoy life" mood. I really want weed to be legalised so that people will start producing weaker weed with high CBD content.

    Sleeping tricks

    I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep. My current trickbook is basically this: Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting. I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work. Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep. I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

    Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995)

    I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today. Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing. I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it. Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

    I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown".

    Distro for a local "cloud gaming" no monitor desktop

    I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks. I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though. The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH. I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card. So it boils down to: * Ease of setup including nvidia drivers * Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers) * Graphics performance * Prefer Ubuntu based I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE. Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it
