The Vatican is its own country, they don't pay themselves taxes.
Game devs have many teams all with different jobs, for a big game like this you'd typically have multiple teams dedicated to optimization in different areas (and between them). The specific problem in this case was how the game was communicating with graphics drivers (among others), which for any graphics heavy game is very fundamental to performance optimization. The problems aren't even an after-the-fact optimization sort of thing that teams should have to identify and follow-up on, batching jobs is standard practice when interacting with GPUs whether or not there's a translation layer.
When the devs of a core translation API between two supported graphics drivers that are commonplace in the gaming ecosystem have to write code to specifically fix issues with your application you've done something fundamentally wrong.
Widespread fencing is very detrimental to ecosystems, it could have an even more severe effect on local wildlife than just culling the wolf population. Along these same lines, this is why many eco-orgs support deer hunting (when regulated properly by state organizations); deer season is a stand-in for the natural predators that deer used to have to contend with and allows the deer population to exist without wreaking havoc on other areas of the same ecosystem that supports them.
Search engines like Google have cost many people there job; the list of now-rare positions and/or duties associated with a position (thereby thinning the need for such employment) that search engines have replaced is long.
It makes sense considering SCP originally found GPT loaded onto magnetic tape reels in what has only be described as a disused military bunker.
You forgot the many difference species of fish/creatures-of-the-sea.
I feel that the mention of reddit's 'r/all' algorithm being better than Lemmy's algorithm certainly shows a clear misunderstanding of these algorithms; r/all can be sorted in the exact same ways as Lemmy, the only difference is that reddit has more active users and thereby more content + people filtering it by voting. I also think people in this thread misunderstand 'algorithm' to mean something solely meant to find posts that they may personally like or at least the least are somehow quasi-objectively 'good'. An algorithm for that can be made, but that is not what the algorithms currently in-use have ever been intended to do.
If someone wants a feed of posts that particularly targets their interests then they'll have to tailor one themselves, just like on reddit.
Naturally, organic simply means carbon is present in the (non-metal) structure. Generally carbon-carbon, carbon-hydrogen, and a few other bond-types are considered organic. Many articles prey on people's misunderstanding of this in order to craft a good headline, since "carbon-based material" doesn't sound as exciting as "organic material".
And when they say it "be created by processes not related to life as we know it" they should also probably mention that it can be created in the absence of any life at all; since if that weren't true then it would in fact be direct evidence of life.
Only very hot flames are a plasma and usually only within certain regions of the main body of the flame; most flames one encounters in their life will not be a plasma due to low or non-existent ionization. A candle flame is almost certainly not a plasma, rather it's a combusting (oxidizing) gas which appears as a flame due to the emission of photons in the visible range from regions where the fuel is reacting with air. Furthermore, fire does not require mechanical or kinetic force to combine a fuel and an oxidizer, there is no need to 'ram' these particles together. Simple contact between a fuel and an oxidizer in states which would allow redox will cause burning and possibly visible flame (not all redox produces visible flame).
Tankie refers to the when Russia sent tanks in Hungary to stop them from setting up a communist government that didn't follow their particular communist ideology.
It's certainly archivable; all one must do is look at the 'robots.txt' (a file that websites use to let nice search engines know which pages they shouldn't index) associated with the domain to find out what it permits to be indexed. Lemmy.world's robots.txt only disallows pages associated with instance/account creation, user settings, and administrator/authorized interaction.
So everything relevant to how reddit appears on Google is possible for Lemmy, the only difference is that Lemmy's associated PageRank (and other ranking scores) are considerable lower than reddit's. This should change with time, especially when more niche and specialized communities take hold.
IIRC undercovers have, in the past, taken drugs to 'fit in' and keep their cover. The guidance to undercovers is probably 'try to avoid it' but the directive of 'don't get caught' and 'try not to die' probably override that.
