I think that was mostly when it came out. (Along with voyager) Over the years it is seemingly more appreciated.

Oh look its one of those snowflakes conservatives told me about.

xkforce, to asklemmy in What are some interesting thinking skills or strategies you've picked up from programming (or anywhere else, but try to stick to programming for now)
  1. Simplify problems before trying to solve them.
  2. Generalizable solutions are better than ones that aren’t.
xkforce, to asklemmy in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

Theres nothing fake about them.

xkforce, to asklemmy in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?

If he wanted the job (he doesn’t) if I thought that congress wouldn’t fight him (they would) if I thought the supreme court would allow most of what he wants to get done get done (they wont) and if I thought he had a better chance than Biden does of getting a second term (I dont) then sure.

No one that wants that job should be allowed to.

xkforce, to asklemmy in How do you cope with the state of the world today?

Either turn the news off or do something about it i.e protest, donate to the ACLU etc.

Watching the news and not taking any tangible action is a recipe for depression and is thoroughly pointless.

Ive been trying to keep tabs on the literature in biochemistry, chemistry and other fields for decades. I inevitably come accross things like this from time to time. These particular articles I just googled because I dont have the bookmark for the original paper discussing Hydrogen production back in 2000.

xkforce, to science_memes in If I was smarter, I'd have gotten the bag.

The more PhDs I know and the closer I am to grad school, the more it feels like getting a PhD is about being stubborn than it is about being smarter than everyone in the room.

Well the alternative is us setting the solid, liquid and gas remains of their ancient ancestors on fire which slowly makes the planet uninhabitable.

Nitrogen starvation increases Hydrogen yield: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/402109/

Sulfur starvation doing the same as well as a strain that doesnt need to be starved: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0360319920341550

Then you find out that the lack of an ingredient results in the microbes producing the product lol.

Certain algae for example, need to be “starved” in a way that results in them switching from conventional photosynthesis that produces glucose to photosynthesis that functions to generate Hydrogen and Oxygen alone. The Oxygen is used for respiration and the Hydrogen is essentially dumped as a waste product. They can only sustain this for relatively short periods before their stockpile of carbohydrates is sufficiently depleted. Which means these bioreactors need to be cycled through a fattening phase where the algae stockpile fuel and a starvation phase where they exhaust that stockpile while producing Hydrogen.

Dumb questions per fortnight
