  • It’s more better lol

    Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.

    It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.



  • This article is from before they dropped droplet theory later in 2020. In the section titled “Factors to Consider when Using Cloth Masks to Protect Wearers and to Prevent Spread of Infection during the COVID-19 Pandemic”:

    The primary transmission routes for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are thought to be inhalation of respiratory droplets and close contact; therefore, WHO recommends wearing medical masks during routine care and using respirators during aerosol-generating procedures and other high-risk situations (17). However, SARS-COV-2 is a novel pathogen, and growing evidence indicates the possibility of airborne transmission.

    They then go on to explain that cloth masks are the option of last resort and are not very useful. Surgical masks with proper fitting around the face and a certain minimum rating for water resistance will help, but most of the “surgical” masks we were all buying do not have enough layers and no water resistance ratings, and who among us got training on how to properly fit a mask to our faces?

    Dropping a link and calling it information when you don’t understand the content or haven’t read it is not productive.


  • Surgical/cloth are pretty much useless for COVID. N95s buy you temporary protection unless you’ve got the special face fittings needed to actually seal your face. It depends on the environment you’re in but the worst case scenarios (like enclosed spaces without high airflow), the last study I saw was on the Delta variant and they said about 15 minutes if both parties are masked. It does get better from there though, with good ventilation you might have a few hours, and being outdoors you’re actually pretty safe.





  • Quick Celsius breakdown from a Canadian:

    • 40+ - most Canadians stop eating food and hope for a quick death
    • 35 - you might just be able to live with this if you do nothing at all
    • 28 - right about the place where comfort gives way to a general sense of warmth, something that makes any Canadian uncomfortable
    • 23 - room temperature, and why “room temperature IQ” is an insult only Americans could have come up with because their scale was made by a madman
    • 15 - If it’s Autumn you are wearing a light jacket, if it’s Spring you are sweating
    • 5 - sweater time
    • 0 to -10 - that stereotypical TV winter experience, where everyone is skating and sipping hot chocolate? Yeah that’s like half the year here. You better like hot chocolate.
    • -15 - We enjoy the fresh air, others will probably find it painful to breathe directly; put on a scarf! Do not brush your teeth immediately before going outside unless you want to experience mint-flavoured pain.
    • -20 - Canadians put their boots on by now. Exposed skin on a windy day can get frostbite in as little as 10 minutes.
    • -30 - We will debate putting a coat on to put the garbage out at this temperature, usually erring on the side of caution in case your kids lock you outside again. Seriously invest in good winter gear for this, this temperature can kill surprisingly fast and it only gets increasingly unpleasant from here.
    • -40 - turns out you can’t form snowballs in hell because the snow is too crispy



  • Connect the internet connection directly to the router, then connect the router to the wall ports. If it doesn’t have enough ports, connect the router to a TP-Link switch, and then the switch to the wall ports.

    Wall port 3 only connects to one device (PC) so no further action needed.

    Wall port 1 connects to 2 or more devices, so connect the wall port to a TP-Link switch and then from there to your Nintendo Switch docks and the Pi

    After that unless you’ve done some weird configuration your gear will all be on the same subnet. You may want to manually assign the PC’s IP address to make it easier to use streaming, but that’s not mandatory.







  • In the first paragraph of JSON5’s site:

    It is not intended to be used for machine-to-machine communication.

    YAML is not supported by a lot of enterprise software (example: Azure pipelines supports it but Power Automate does not). JSON, XML, CSV, or failing that Text are the safe bets. We use a few options for reading or building presentation layers quickly. Ultimately the idea is to move data around in a way that is friendly to our current and future applications.
