Wildass hypothesis I just pulled out of my ass with an undergraduate degree in applied physics: maybe interaction with particles emerging from quantum vacuum?
Okay, that sounds like great technobabble. I'm going to watch star trek now ;)

And losses in the inverter.
I still go to Reddit for some communities that don't have critical mass on Lemmy. Sure you can talk about programming or Linux here, but the more niche ones (like specific mods for specific games) are entirely absent.
But when I want to post something or create content, it goes here.
Threading intensifies
I'm excited about this, even if it is just baby steps. It's been one of my very few complaints about python, having spent two decades using it.
I'm hoping that pyside and QThreads can be made to work with noGIL. That would be super sweet. :)
I like this :)
Could use a colour key in all the negative space in bottom right. Interesting data nevertheless.
Anyone who has read the books want to chime in? I read the books and they had a "painting in a museum" type quality to them, where each chapter was a well described static scene. Fun concepts (in particular, the Dark Forest concept), but really dry prose...
4D conspriacy theory: was actually killed by Airbus, because the negative press for Boeing will push the Airbus stock price up...
I feel bad for the guy. This is going to put a wet blanket on future whistleblowers, regardless of the actual cause.
Malicious Corporate Compliance
I've met the devs in person. They keep turning down literal suitcases full of cash from people who want to bundle adware and crap in one of the most popular programs ever. Don't assume VLC is going down that road -- they've stuck to their ethics for decades.
That reminds me...
In circa 1995 I was running a dial upBBS service -- as a teenager. So if course, it was full of bootlegged video games and such, and people would dial in, download a game, log off.
Someone uploaded Descent or something like that. But they had put "deltree /y C:" or similar into a batch file, used a BAT2COM converter program, then a COM2EXE program, then padded the file size to approximately the right size with random crap (probably just using APPEND)... And uploaded it. Well, fortunately for the rest of my users, I say the game and said: oh, that's neat, I should try it and copied it to another computer over my internal network and launched it. It started deleting files right away and I hit CTRL-C to abort. I lost only a few dozen files.
Banned the user, deleted the package. Got lucky.
