Crazy thought experiment. A theory of everything should be applicable everywhere. So — why 3? poetic philosophical musings

rjn | 3 years ago | on: Graphene may have found its killer app

We can get graphene by literally peeling it off graphite using a scotch tape.

> That's where Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov came in. They took a hunk of graphite and used Scotch tape to peel off layer after layer after layer. Geim and Novoselov then analyzed what they had left, and found graphene. For their discovery – which was published in 2004 – they were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics.

rjn | 5 years ago | on: Cyberpunk 2077 runs on Linux through the Proton compatibility layer

I think it's a decent start to get through the chicken and egg problem (there are not enough linux players so devs don't bother and people don't switch completely to linux because there are games they like which don't work) and if proton brings enough people to linux slowly we might get through this hurdle. If let's say 30% of gamers are linux users the devs might care to do a native port even though they don't right now. I only use linux and mostly only play natively supported games but sometimes also through proton also I think if you play using proton steam reports as a linux user.
