I’m no expert but I think it’s a mutation that still isn’t universal i.e. there is still a very large lactose-intolerant population in east-asia, which is also reflected in their cuisine.

Less than 5000 years ago, northern europeans developing a genetic mutation that allowed them to digest cow’s milk.

dizzy , 8 days ago to gaming in favorite gaming medium?

Playstation/Xbox.

I love multiplayer shooters, obviously hate cheaters. If I have to install a rootkit on my primary machine to play and still come across cheaters, I may as well just get a console with heavily discounted hardware cost and peace of mind that the only thing people can really abuse are xim/cronuses. Also it feels nice that everyone in the match will be on a level playing field in terms of hardware specs and I’m never tempted to buy a new graphics card, CPU or cooling just to eek out a few extra fps.

Crossplay off all the way.

What’s your reasoning for this?

Anything better than using a vlan to separate these types of devices from the rest of the network?

dizzy , 14 days ago to asklemmy in What industry do you work in and what are the LPT the general public should know about it?

I was going to say I had the polar opposite experience until your last paragraph.

Lecturers were very rarely excited about the material they taught, left as soon as they could and were far more concerned with their research than helping students.

That was EE so probably a mix of weed-out and the fact that they were all socially awkward mega nerds.

Wouldn’t go for a full ARM64 system (yet anyway). Too many software incompatibilities. You can pick up the lenovo m-series tiny machines used for dirt cheap and have full x86 compatibility and way faster specs + expandable storage/ram for (m93p tiny, m700, m720 etc). They’re a little bigger than a rpi and use a bit more power but it will save a ton of headaches.

Making the switch to any linux distro is a big jump already, you don’t want to create unnecessary problems.

Yep that’s the theory but the recent paper is this one. This is the youtube video I watched.

Super interesting! I watched an explainer last night about a theory that consciousness arises from space-time collapse quantum wave functions in microtubules.

The vast majority went straight over my head but the host stated that the theory was seen as completely insane by their peers and just recently it’s gaining credibility because of some new research in the past few weeks.

Any thoughts on this?
