  • The reader I used to get the page count from, is set up to use the same font, font size, and margins for all ebooks. So the page count should be comparable between the two books.

    But since you mentioned word count…

    • My edition of The Hobbit has 96,923 words.
    • My edition of The Fellowship of the Ring has 192,625 words.

    So by word count, The Fellowship of the Ring is almost twice as long as The Hobbit.

    Adding in the other books of the Lord of the Rings:

    • The Two Towers: 157,065 words.
    • The Return of the King: 210,618 words.

    That brings the whole Lord of the Rings Trilogy to a total of 560,308 words. Meaning that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is 5.8 times longer than The Hobbit…

    Looking at the extended edition run times of the movies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy runs for 10 hours and 26 minutes. The Hobbit trilogy runs for 7 hours and 52 minutes. So in movie form The Lord of the Rings in only 32% longer than The Hobbit.

    So there’s 67 milliseconds of Lord of the Rings movie, per word from the books, where as there’s 292 milliseconds of The Hobbit movie, per word from the book. That’s 4.4 times as much movie runtime per word in The Hobbit, than in the Lord of the Rings… Which is quite thinly stretched…




  • You could argue that if the US population had elected a Nazi, they would have good reason to cut ties, as you could argue that the country wants nazism.

    In this case the US population didn’t directly elect the Nazi, and therefore you could argue that it isn’t directly the country that wants nazism, so there’s hope for the next election cycle and maybe even before then. So it might make sense to keep some ties for when things might improve again.

    Day to day it doesn’t at all matter whether the Nazi was elected or not, as long as the Nazi is allowed to wreck the country.

    In relation to Western devs, I think this is essentially just that it’s easy to just pile in more assets, but it can be tricky slimming down again, because you need to be certain that something really isn’t used before removing it. So many games never get around to the slimming down part, also because it isn’t really directly profitable to them…

    I will highlight 1 case though. Hitman 2 was 149 gig, and included the levels for Hitman 1 and 2. But Hitman 3 was slimmed down to 60 gigs while including all of the content from Hitman 1, 2, and 3.




  • This would imply that you have at least two machines. In that case they could just install Linux in the other machine to try it out.

    Foa people dabbling in Linux for the first time, with the anxiety of losing their data, it certainly sound like they don’t have 2 machines to run syncthing. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they just copy all their important data to the other machine to avoid the data loss risk?

    And sure if that is the case Syncthing is a good solution, but it doesn’t sound applicable in this situation.



  • Yeah, it demotivated me too with the limited lives… If you still want Duolingo, I can mention that it has regional pricing, so you only need a VPN server in India to get it much much cheaper.

    But it’s understandable if you don’t want to support those kinds of business practices in any way.
