I had an idea I wonder if the energy thing can be salvaged. Like uranium to lead happens naturally and the energy is too little from a single atom. But we don’t have to do things naturally. If I’m controlling the atom itself, maybe I can just split all protons and neutrons from the uranium at once, then I have a bunch of free particles that can go collide with other atoms and start a chain reaction.

I think most powers, even with limitations, probably is going to be useful once we know the clear limits. Maybe not the one that need so much energy and the results are random so you can fail and not be able to try again.

I can understand people wanting markers. But maybe we have like 10-20 markers and someone having 5-6 from the other side is not weird. Like if someone is presenting as a girl completely and is not, they could just reply with “oh, I’m a guy, I just dressed as a girl today” and people would be like “that’s fun” instead of being weirded out.

Like long hair/short hair for example. Or how girls wearing pants is normal now.

In my case, my culture does have people cross dressing during certain events so it’s not as ostracized. But that could also be because people didn’t actually think about wanting to be the other gender but just dressing up for one occasion.

Few fun things:

• My parents wanted a daughter but had me,
• my nickname at home was a girl’s name version of my name,
• only children close to my age and vicinity growing up were girls so I grew up playing “girl” games,
• my mom didn’t stop me from painting my nails, or putting makeup or anything as a child. (I still paint my nails black sometimes),
• In highschool I was the only guy among the group of students with nails too long on a biology lab,
• a guy friend once told me I walk gay (I didn’t even know that was a thing?)
• I don’t watch sports, so I don’t have many common things to talk to guys as much,
• Good friends I had (guys) were based on either common interests (programming, philosophy, etc) or other nerds. And when I don’t have those and only friends are based on proximity then I don’t have as many things in common.

All those considered I’m still a guy, I just don’t care about being “manly”, and just do things that interests me. Plus lots of the things people do to be manly seems to just make them spend even more time with other guys lol. And although I don’t want to do a lot of things that are for each genders, I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes. Or for someone to just try it out to see if they like it not, instead of thinking “that’s what X do, I won’t do it”.

Depends on what “time” is in case of one at a time. Is it plank time, or is it as fast as I can think the command.

Even if nothing can be achieved by controlling it, just being able to feel/see the atoms means I can figure things out as a scientist. Finding how atoms are arranged into molecules, proteins etc are super helpful

Nuclear bombs, or a really good scientist.

This looks like it can counter most powers except ones having effects in far away places

Seems like a small payment honestly

Ability to control every atom in the surrounding area of approx 1 km.

I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.

Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.

Good read, thanks

But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)

translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.

I’m a rust developer, do I need to transition?

If you have freedom OS, definitely

And risk wiping the life on that planet? Considering something like that happened to native population in America, I guess people don’t care.

Rather, it puts you in debt. And now you have even less power. We should normalize everyone being able to live and not force college on everyone. But also make it free/super cheap so people can attend if they want without having to suffer financially

I was thinking I’d appreciate a website/community where people talk about potential new open source software ideas and interested people can collaborate. Could be small things. And able to filter by category, language, etc.

But I don’t know how the logistics would work. But at least minor things that could be fun. But it could be abused. It’s just my thoughts when I’m like “I wanna make something this week”. Or when I start something and I don’t have the skills for all components.

Tiff is for science. Like for actual values that need more than 0-255 level of precision.

For example we use Tiff (or GeoTiff because it has coordinates) for storing elevation, temperature, slope, etc variables of an area for processing. It can also have a lot of bands not just RGB.

For example, satellites record RGB, infrared 1, infrared 2, and many other bands and even if we can’t see them it’s useful to get that information for processing. That helps for example to recognize river from forest even if both look green to our eyes.

Repeat after me:

JPEG is for photos, PNG is for graphics.

I feel like nowadays the bots are actually really good in English because of LLMs.

No, but I wanted to test if it’d be considered valid by the program. I think the algorithm just does kilo _ = 1000 x _

units '1 kilodollar' 'dollar' outputs 1000. units is a unit conversion program I use.

Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

Edit:

Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

Using package manager mitigates that.
