I'm not a native speaker, I tried googling and translating and still did not get what "ablative" means. Do you mind explaining like I'm 5 what does it mean please..
> Ablation (Latin: ablatio – removal) is the removal or destruction of something from an object by vaporization, chipping, erosive processes, or by other means. Examples of ablative materials[clarification needed] are described below, including spacecraft material for ascent and atmospheric reentry, ice and snow in glaciology, biological tissues in medicine and passive fire protection materials.
The poster is saying that a case can wear out and be replaced without damage to the phone. You can let the case take all the damage, then get a new one. But if you let a phone take all the damage (even if it's a tougher phone), you can't remove that damage.
Apparently they let go some (or all?) of the AGS (amazon game studios) and putting New World (mmorpg game) on maintenance mode. This game currently has around 30-40k concurrent players on steam and probably as much or more on consoles. I feel bad for people got fired and gamers (myself included). I really like that game
Been using helix for over a year (mostly Elixir development) after a decade of (neo)vim, very happy so far! My config file is like 10 lines long :D
Congrats on the release!
Cool game! at first I thought it's an "aim trainer" of some sorts :D I forgot about everything (slings and bombs) besides clicking and tried to click all the way through.
Well, we've had a bit of a set back on the Jetpack client. Unfortunately the Jetpack developer just moved on to another position. The client is nearly ready but kind of a kick in the pants to have to find someone new right now.
Since I'm not very bright, I tried first example (ball following your mouse) and thought that's cool and very responsive and smooth animation! Then I tried Lerp example...
Good thing Bitcoin mining hasn’t been done with GPUs in several years. You can blame cryptocurrency mining for the high GPU prices but not Bitcoin mining.
Speak for yourself. I'm currently earning $13-15 a day by mining with my RTX 3090.
The RTX 3090 FE costs around $1500 after tax, but I bought it off craigslist for $2000 (after fruitlessly waiting for months for the stock to become available). I should have just bought it back off craigslist back in September or October. If I had paid the scalper prices and just started mining with it back then, it would have already almost paid for itself by now.
Yeah, I thought that people mine Ethereum with GPUs, which is somehow related to BTC in terms of price (I have no idea how tho, I guess people trade ETH for BTC and vice versa)
As I understand the cryptocurrency markets, they basically all move in tandem with Bitcoin. So if Bitcoin's price goes up, so do all other cryptocurrencies.
Also instructive to see prices of altcoins in terms of BTC. Barely anything moves up. There are very temporary spikes, but mostly it's all one giant opportunity cost compared to just holding BTC.
I've picked up Elixir in 2016 and have started freelance work around 2017 doing Elixir and Phoenix exclusively. For me it is the best platform for web development and I'm very grateful to everyone involved (erlang/otp, elixir, ecto, phoenix teams and everyone else).
I would really prefer any location sharing feature to be something that ran on top of the communication platform rather than be a feature baked into the app. Create a generic information syncing mechanism for groups and let clients build features like location sharing on top of that. Location sharing seems so niche that bundling it into the client encourages poor opsec/privacy behavior.
As I have heard, Telegram is unencrypted by default. Both WhatsApp and Telegram are poor at making this 100% clear 100% of the time despite privacy being a major purpose of the apps. I'll admit I really haven't used telegram much but WhatsApp encourages backing up chats to cloud storage. WhatsApp also only provides a single alert that a contact's security code has changed. It also doesn't encourage verifying the security code on the initial contact. i.e if someone out of the blue contacts you on WhatsApp the only security is the phone number.
