99094··on Veloren – voxel action-adventure role-playing in Rust
I remember playing a very very early version of Veloren as a Cube World alternative. Happy to see where it is right now.

Go to a library if that's such a problem
99094··on JEDEC Extends DDR5 Memory Spec to 8800 MT/S, Adds Anti-Rowhammer Features
That's CAS latency. To calculate the latency of a timing you divide the timing itself by the clock frequency of your sticks. For example, DDR4-4000 CL14 is running at 2000MHz = 2GHz, so the CAS latency is 14/2 = 7ns.

But it's just a singular timing that's not even used all that often, so it's not that relevant to performance anyway - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgb8N23tsfA

99094··on Accuracy of Commercial Sleep-Trackers Compared to Research-Grade Tools
My Garmin (255s) is pretty inaccurate when it comes to sleep. It often mistakes REM for awake and vice versa. Honestly, nowadays I only wear it for my runs. Even if it was accurate, I can just tell by feel. All the metrics such as sleep, resting HR and HRV are pretty bad compared to your nervous system.

The metrics aren't really actionable either. I got a bad night of sleep, so what? I know it. I have low HRV because I drank alcohol/over-trained/am ill. I don’t need a watch to tell me that. I know it.

It’s just collecting data for the sake of collecting data.

99094··on My doomed career as a North Korean novelist
I used it to read some webnovels a few months ago. It's much better than other machine translators (like google or deepl) but it's a bit tedious to use because of the character limit.
