I wish somebody would make a browser add-on that automatically filters all "high temperature superconductor" news that's below 100C.

If you think RDP performance is good, you should try Sunshine+Moonlight. I regularly stream at 4k 120hz from my gaming PC to my laptop and it's basically indistinguishable from running locally. I've even run it over Tailscale from a thousand miles away (though at 1080p60) and it was still markedly better than RDP.

Caveats - You really want a Windows host for fully accelerated on-GPU hardware video encoding, the server setup is _slightly_ more involved than RDP which is usually preinstalled, and Sunshine+Linux+NVidia requires an annoying driver patch. But overall it's _amazing_.

My buddy was absolutely delighted by Sunshine+Moonlight and basically forced me to try it. Long story short, it is not nearly as responsive for dev tasks, amazing for gamings or streaming, however.

> Some people might not enjoy writing their own code. If that’s the case, as harsh as it may seem, I would say that they’re trying to work in a field that isn’t for them

Conversely: Some people want to insist that writing code 10x slower is the right way to do things, that horses were always better, more dependable than cares, and that nobody would want to step into one of those flying monstrosities. And they may also find that they are no longer in the right field.

Cost per flight hour.

Indeed though, F35 has become relatively inexpensive per unit, as intended.

Cost per flight hour doesn't make nearly as much sense to focus on as you think it does in an active war.

Thank you. That memo is not a treaty, ratified by our Senate. Second, Russia clearly broke the agreement. Third it only states that the US is obligated to provide assistance if a threat or act of aggression where nuclear weapons are used. As long as Russia does not use nuclear weapons (or threatens them!), we have no obligation in this agreement.

Also it does not specify assistance. Clearly the US has already assisted Ukraine in defending from the invasion from Russia. And clearly the US people are tired of assisting them. We have no alliance with Ukraine.

Current US Administration: How dare request security guarantees and point out Russia breaks their word more often then not!

Average US Administration supporter: The US didn't give Ukraine security guarantees in the Budapest Memorandum, how dumb of Ukraine to give up a trillion dollars of Nuclear weapons for literally nothing! Also, it was Russia that broke their word, not us!

Also, Russia has threatened the use of nuclear weapons, repeatedly. By claiming Ukrainian soil as theirs, then claiming they would defend "their" land, aka, Ukraine, with nukes. Even going so far as to use ballistic missiles that are only useful as nuclear weapon carriers due to their cost and low accuracy on normal bombardment of Ukraine's cities to create doubt on the Ukraine side whether the next Russian salvo against their cities and civilian population, will be a nuclear one.

The EU should buy - or even license produce - Swedish Saab Gripens to help the Ukrainians resist.

Low cost, simple to operate, and specially designed to fight Russian aggression.

They are not low cost, they cost nearly as much as an F35.

That is incorrect, standard Single-issue tunnel vision (which is very much promoted by Russian propaganda).

NATO, with America leading, gave the world the longest stretch of relative peace it has ever seen. The next 80 years will not be the same, if we even survive it. Every major power will have to be nuclear, and every smaller power will be moving to it.

Invasion of sovereign countries and Imperialism is going to spike. You think the world is just going to watch Russia invade and conquer a sovereign democratic nation and get away Scott-free and not want to do the same?

Frankly, the true propaganda win of Russia wasn't with the red side, they were always easy to influence, but with their splitting of the blue side, carving off great sections of it into purity-testing irrelevancy.

So can I finally use crypto to buy things I would want? Or is it still just an elaborate mechanism for separating idiots from their money? I ask myself these questions every 5 years or so.

The later.
