The tetrahedral shape of the molecules define the 6 sides. I believe that would be a constant.

Temperature, moisture, pressure and maybe more variables are the parameters.

I love C# and .NET and use it every day.

Sometimes I wonder if the .NET department is totally separated from the rest of Microsoft. Microsoft is so bad on all fronts I stopped using everything that has to do with it. Windows, Xbox, the Microsoft account experience, the Microsoft store, for me it has been one big trip of frustration.

Once I worked for a company that got a quote in the form of a Word document. Turned out it had history turned on and quotes to competitors could be recovered.

There is a lot of incompitence when it comes to file formats.

I have a feeling this will also drag Linux mobile forwards.

Currently almost no one is using Linux for mobile because the lack or apps (banking for example) and bad hardware support. When developing for Linux becomes more and more attractive this might change.

We all fall into this trap, thinking we can do better than others.

The problem is that Elon Musk has power (in the form of money) and was able to buy his way into the government.

Elon Musk is a smart salesman but that's about it. He has little deep knowledge in a lot of what he does.

Tip (a lot of people don't know this): you can set the resolution by setting the $fn variable. This can be useful when you want to export smooth objects.

  $fn = $preview ? 32 : 64;

At least we agree that a country turning into a corrupt dictatorship is depressing to see.

It is amazing how quick a country can turn into a corrupt dictatorship.

Airbus has the ability to move their data to another location, but it is very problemetic that all people with a social account can't. Sure, you can delete your Facebook account but it will take years for you profile to be gone because we all know your data is sold to other parties.

My only option is to keep in mind that everything I put online will one day be read by some evil entity. Even my IP address that Hacker News might store (I don't know, but servers log stuff).

Good.

As long as there are no clear laws this will only get worse. Imagine a TV with an e-sim. There will be no way to turn the connection off unless you pack it in aluminum foil.

Talking about e-sim, Texas should also sue all modern car brands. Most cars today are online and spy on your driving behavior.
