I also tried to buy the game as the kid, parental control blabla, I got a request that the kid wants the game, and when I went to pay for it as myself, on behalf of the kid, it wouldn't let me change the country from United States, so I couldn't enter a valid billing address...

All this took hours, while the kid impatiently nags "can we play, can we play, can we play"...!! And then it's the /insane/ launch times to start playing... At the very least, once you're in the game (java edition) it all works very well with LAN multiplayer.

You can use a smaller battery, which means using less rare materials that are very expensive. There are a lot of indirect emissions with electric vehicles, and it's important to look at the big picture.

The best part of evil-mode in Emacs is that I get to use Emacs bindings in insert mode, and then vim keys in normal mode. For instance when writing function signatures, I can hit C-f to easily jump over the closing parenthesis, or C-e to easily jump to the end of line, usually also to skip the closing parenthesis. I'm not sure how you would do that in vim without exiting back into normal mode and using for instance S-a to append at the end of the line.

Emacs has all the features of VScode, plus more. And it keeps expanding by each day. A "fully featured" Emacs "IDE" is also just as laggy, sometimes even more, as any other "fully featured" IDE. Some Emacs configs even take tens of seconds to load! Mine however takes 1.5s, but that is because everything is lazily loaded. The first time I open a C++ file, it takes a couple seconds.

A really nice easy to use framework for getting productive in Emacs quickly is Doom[1]. You should give it a peak if you think Emacs is "low-level".

The beauty of emacs is how easy it is to modify it. Lisp is the easiest syntax to learn, emacs hides nothing from the user, and the user can override or add whatever they wish. It really is a proper example of free and open software. To add to this, it's all very well documented, and everything you need to develop (for) emacs is in emacs itself.

Containers are great because they are small and fast, low overhead etc. And that is why they replaced virtual machines. This article however proves that this is also achievable with virtual machines.

However, lately I've been using a traditional keyboard more, mostly because i keep mixing more between home office and not, and leaving my moonlander at the office. I have no issues using the one over the other anymore since starting biking to work.

F1 might use some decoupling? But I would expect them to work like most other race transmissions, by not decoupling.

There are computers that control the rev-matching, but that's technically on the engine side of things. There are sensors on the gearbox that let the controller know when to add throttle, but it's still very much not the responsibility of the transmission. There are also downshift protection to make sure you don't over-rev the engine, but this is also on the engine side of things, but it does block the signal from the paddle shifters.
