  • By using the same onion quote I used several comments earlier, I am both pointing out the circular nature the discussion has taken on, and strengthening my point, since your current phrasing sounds even more similar to the idea that Americans uniquely insist that they are unable to change anything, even though other countries have changed in exactly those ways and started addressing their problems.

    You insist that you’re special snowflakes different from everyone else, and come up with reasons for why you can’t possibly change, rather than just picking issues and starting to address them in some way, even if imperfect.

    Republicans have deluded Americans into thinking that nothing can change. That is the rot at the heart of America.












  • That doesn’t actually sound like they intend on producing usable helium though. That sounds like they intend on doing a really difficult and expensive fusion reaction to produce helium 3, which they will then use in a cheaper and easier to do fusion reaction, and the end result of all of that should be electricity and no net new helium since it’s expensive and rare AF and they need it all to make the whole process remotely plausibly profitable.





  • Do I really miss it? It never once came up in any practical situation.

    You would buy a mobo and a CPU and put them together and not think about the specific buses or controllers you have available, unless you had a very specific reason to.

    Unless we’re talking about a mobile power constrained device, I certainly would rather have expandable RAM and graphics cards then everything slammed in a single unchanging chip.

    And again, the fact that the author states that Nvidia can’t release an integrated SoC because they didn’t buy ARM, when they actively sell an integrated SoC licensed from ARM, makes the entire rest of their “opinion”, untrustworthy.


  • This is a bad article. It’s just an Apple fanboy watching their company continue its trend of shitting on customers and assuming that everyone inevitably will, apparently never once reflecting on whether their insistence of sticking with Apple is the real problem.

    Their argument boils down to CPUs increasingly integrating basic versions of other components over time meaning that desktops will disappear… Ignoring that the desktop market has stayed surprisingly flat that entire time and has certainly not disappeared.

    If your argument is that integrated CPUs will outclass discrete components connected with high speed buses then you need to make it from an engineering standpoint, not a headline one.

    I also don’t understand his reasoning that because NVidia don’t buy ARM they don’t get to make an integrated CPU… Nvidia made and sold an integrated ARM CPU before ever being rumoured to buy them, and they still make and sell it to this day … because ARM’s entire business model is based on companies like Nvidia licensing their designs.


  • Does sweethome allow you to make plans in 2D?

    I think what you’re after isn’t technically 2D vs 3D but ‘Perspective View’ vs ‘Orthographic View’ (but tl;dr: no).

    Perspective view emulates your vision, but orthographic is what you would use for engineering / architecture drawings. Looking top down like this, for instance, in perspective view you can see both the top of the wall and the bottom of the wall (what’s shown), but in orthographic view those would appear as a single line like in architecture drawings.

    All that being said, I don’t think Sweet Home 3D can do orthographic views, though don’t have it in front of me to check.
