About support: I have a Framework laptop. With my initial shipment I received a defective Ethernet expansion port. The failure was difficult to identify, but support was incredibly responsive and helpful. Once it was confirmed the issue was due to a defective Ethernet card (which took some investigative effort), a replacement was shipped immediately.
All this to say that, if you live in a supported country in the EU, I see no reason that people may find their support lacking.
This struck me too, if you're relying on instruments that exist in a universe where its constants are changing to measure those constants, then it seems very natural to me that your measurements would not necessarily change.
The constants instruments use to measure other constants might change at the same rate, leaving measurement results constant.
Then again, I'm not a physicist, so I'm nowhere near an expert.
Actually, if you're interested, gaming on Linux is great nowadays.
Nvidia GPUs are not really well supported, but they work.
However, if you game using Intel integrated graphics or an AMD GPU, the performance is perfect.
On steam I have yet to encounter a game that does not run well using Proton.
You can probably just combine all the separate css files into one big css file.
Reworking it as a pull request should also be possible, however these "improvements" should probably be optional to the user so it will require lots more work to design a settings screen to enable/disable certain aspects while having it be comprehensible.
I used Visual Studio Code for a while and it was pretty good, it was able to do near everything that I wanted it to do.
However, at some point I kept running into some issues with the autocompletion function (intellisense) and the documentation it shows on functions you're typing. These popups appear underneath the line you edit and kept obscuring code that I wanted to be able to see.
I could not find a setting to move these popups without disabling Intellisense in its entirety, which annoyed me to no end.
That's why I finally bit the bullet and switched to EMACS a few months ago and while it's a little less stable, it allows me to configure whatever and however I want to configure. In addition, it allows me to do many things other than programming in the same application. I read my emails in EMACS, I keep to-do lists and agenda in EMACS, I (used to) read Reddit from EMACS. There are lots of possibilities.
EMACS by itself is a very barebones experience, I installed DOOM EMACS, a framework which installs and configures many things for you out-of-the-box, which is very handy for getting started. One potential caveat is that DOOM is designed for vim keybindings which can be difficult to get accustomed to (I love them, though). The vim keybindings can be disabled, though I'm sure there are also other frameworks which take a non-vim approach.
It can be difficult to get started in, but for me EMACS is extremely rewarding.
Edit: I program in Typescript with React, Java, PostgreSQL and Rust all from within EMACS
True, I think AI has the biggest potential of changing our lives in the near future. I don't think we are anywhere near generalised AI right now, but even the current LLVMs have amazing capabilities. I think there may be many ways we can apply these AIs that we haven't thought of yet.
Now here's to hoping that these AIs won't be monopolised by corporations but instead stay available to the general public.
For me it's Outer Wilds. It's a kind of space exploration/deduction game where you fly around in your ship at your own pace and explore what you want to explore. After a while you discover that there are small mysteries that all point to a central giant mystery and you start uncovering that by experimenting with the mechanics and discovering new places.
It's seriously amazing but you can only ever truly experience its mystery once.
If they're willing to try a few books, I would just start them off at the Colour of Magic.
However, if they want to commit to only one book, I would suggest one of the stand-alones to them and if they enjoyed that, then point them to CoM.
It's been a while since I last read the books but Thief of Time has always stood out to me as one of my favourites. To me it's a great introduction to the deeply ludicrous scenarios that Pratchett could write. I would recommend that one as a first stand-alone.
