  • Mint 100% to start with, install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia graphics card. Install and run a game though Steam or whatever and if all the hardware works and you can get the refresh rate you want you're good to go.

    If not, install Fedora KDE and do the same.

    If you still have issues on Fedora make another post here with some hardware details and say what you tried.

  • You don't really need to be bleeding edge to have some hardware issues or Cinnamon Mint. Their wayland transition is still ongoing so HDR, variable refresh rate, fractional scaling and maybe some bugs for specific hardware might be present. X11 has also seen a lot less love recently after the major distros stopped actively supporting it.

    KDE has nailed the Wayland transition so moving to Fedora KDE would have fixed Wayland/X11 bugs.

  • I use KDE neon, I'd never recommend it to my friends though because quirks pop up every now and then and disappear after a couple of weeks.

    I'd tell them to use Kubuntu which is just much more stable and is the same thing without quirks.

    I considering moving to Hyperland on Arch which I'd recommend even less.

  • Worst of all is that negative and positive externalities are also taught in Econ 101 but they are almost never mentioned by these types.

    TL;DR For positive/negative externalities: Company produces pollution, pollution negatively affects the economic value of things outside of the company's business (e.g. kills fish in rivers), company most efficient process should be produce less at higher price.

    This means the supply/demand curve can be shifted with taxes (called Pigovian taxes) to correct the supply/demand curve so it accurately reflects the value of broader society. Conversely a healthy population is more productive so subsidising healthcare makes sense since creates more benefits than the benefit of the consumer and entity providing it.

    Taxes and subsidies can be an effective tool to adjust the supply/demand curve to maximise the benefit of society as a whole in many cases when used aggressively enough.

    You can effectively solve climate change pretty easily by taxing emissions from fossil fuels and providing the entire amount as energy subsidies. This way renewables get a massive advantage from the energy subsidies at no cost to the tax payer. You can count on the market to min/max based on the rules.

    These types still go "Hurr durr, bUt ThE dEaDwEiGhT lOsS".

  • I understand that they need to have it clear for first responders but parking on the sidewalk makes the sidewalk less usable. Also if first responders need to get through a street having the sidewalk available to get the car out of the way is more beneficial instead of street full of cars.

    Then there's the thing where cars will fill up the parking spots when possible and since it's not a metered parking spot there's a good chance it'll not get checked very often.

    In my view the result is effectively making the sidewalk smaller as if they would just remove it up to the 1.6m and replace it with on street parking. Investing in bike paths that can be used by first responders like in the Netherlands is a more effective way to deal with the same problem.

  • For me the best is shorts or sweatpants always with optional sweater or t-shirt, ideally not both at the same time. Crucially no socks or underwear, I prefer washing clothes more often to wearing underwear.

  • If it were my choice I would probably go for Vue since I've worked with it for about a year also Evan Yu is a developer I have 100% confidence in making it better over time. I mean, he made Vite after all. The transition from v2 to v3 was pretty much backwards compatible while angular breaks shit all the f-ing time. But out of the ones I don't know Svelte looks the best. Do I need a "chart.js-svelte" package? Nope, just use the normal one. Dependency management looks soooo much simpler than having a less supported framework specific version of it.

  • It depends on how far back you go. In the Roman Empire they had a GINI wealth index of almost 1. Meaning only around 1000 people in the whole empire had 99% of the wealth.

    You had the slaves which didn't have any rights and made up a large portion of the early empire, freemen which got grain subsidies and basic assistance which was still not enough to feed the family, plebs that had a job which didn't qualify them for basic assistance but still barely surviving, the top 10% that were just a tad more than surviving, the 1% which could afford a "middle class" lifestyle and rich senators. On the top if it was the emperor that owned something like 90% of everything.

    Middle ages until early modern had serfs be around 90%, not too shabby since they got some land to do with as they please but they were overworked and taxed whether or not they made money.

    2025 is pretty nice in Europe since the median wage affords you a middle class life with luxuries, shelter and food security but 1950s US after WW2 looked pretty good IMO. Work as a waiter, buy a house in 5 years and feed the family? That's something almost nobody can do today right out of high school.

    So financially in history it's been shit, it wasn't good for the top 10% either way back before modern times and lavish lifestyle was never the norm at any point. I still think that with better wealth redistribution, taxation and building a crap ton of housing could make 2025 people way better off than almost all periods in history.

  • This could potentially be done with an identity system that allows a company to verify the age a user while not knowing anything else. Although I trust pretty much nobody to do it while respecting privacy and security.

  • I started programming in 2015 and I'm very surprised that webapps have managed to get worse in that time period. We have 10 years of work on the V8, 10 years of React and Angular, 10 years of DX improvements and my current work is C# takes a minute to compile and Angular takes 4 minutes for a production build.

    I know now we have TS and there's a lot of safety that comes with it but somehow things are just slow, both building and on deployed websites. Websites should be snappy when everyone has a GPU that can go incredibly fast compared to 10 years ago and cores that are 2x faster and 4x as numerous.

  • You can charge the plugin hybrid and do your daily drive (~50km) on just electricity. Hybrid cars are just a way to save some fuel with regenerative braking and charging on a downhill.

    PHEV is great if you have a monthly/weekly trips that are longer than 100km where you use petrol or if you want the option to drive 500km road trip without an hour long charging break. This is very good for people that have a charger at work but live in an apartment that they can't charge the car.

    HEV is going to be cheaper than the PHEV since you have a lot smaller battery and electric power system. The electric system is only there to take a load off the ICE engine and can potentially make it last longer by not having it run at a lower intensity.

    As soon as you can charge the car at home EV is the best, people should take a break from driving every 2-3 hours anyway for safety on road trips. Downside is that you need a charging station to drive of course. EVs can potentially be the cheapest of the bunch since you only need one system to propel the car forward and battery prices are falling.

  • I'm right now back in a running/weightlifting phase after finishing a chess phase. I really wish there was more to learn about it because I have the thirst for more information about how to optimise the workouts. Especially nice since it gives me the chemicals I want but I wish the gym would stop playing music.

  • Nothing beyond clarity. I always thought I was working around my own character flaws but after I realised I'm autistic it reframes it as me working around autism.

    It didn't provide help but it did provide answers. I now sometimes say to clients that I have autism and I might ramble on too much about details and people seem to like it.
