You're also assuming that Shakespeare had only one teacher. His environment was simply set up in a way to tap his inherent aptitude. The notion that having inherent aptitude implies that it will manifest itself to the world regardless

I also experienced the games on the real hardware but last time that I tried to emulate them purely for nostalgia reasons I didn't notice anything wrong with emulation.

Sleeping less doesn't mean much if you're born in a remote village in Africa or China where clean water is a luxury, in a toxic family where not being beaten up and having a stable psyche is a requirement if you want to act out yo

Confirmation/survivorship bias thrives when paired together with the illusion of free will. If we were talking about a philosophical example of an apple tree in a remote closed garden, people would agree that the presence of the apple

I'm the same. My drive doesn't have enough space so I'm stuck using WSL2 for React/Node development, and I'm waiting for an unreleased game to see how it will perform on Linux before I make my permanent switch. Ever

I'm a Serbian who used to be a fan of Djokovic in spite of the fact that I'm not big into tennis, but after losing a family member to Covid seeing him deciding to die on the anti-vax hill broke my heart and I don't want anyth

To be honest, I don't even see myself as a junior but more of an entry level, because there are junior openings that assume some experience. My only experience comes from personal projects and github contributions.

Every time I share with someone that I'm depressed and think of suicide they're like "just get therapy bro", but I'm depressed not just from the isolation that came with the pandemic (I'm high risk due to an un

This is interesting to me not because of the typing speed but because of something almost everyone will find weird: As a developer I'm not a fan of typing due to health reasons. The long story: I have an undiagnosed disease/syndro

Problem is, sometimes you don't have a say on what motivates you because life happens. Ask any struggling freshly divorced parent who's trying to provide for their kids and suck up all the toxicity from her workplace because payin

All I have to offer is nothing more than personal anecdotes. I think there is a "habitual framework of the mind" that we condition ourselves to operate, and that it's a side-effect of the ways we consume information on a dail

I thought they're trying to actively block it as it allowed people to watch without ads.

Wasn't there friction when using nvidia's proprietary drivers, as Nvidia's video acceleration depends on VDPAU compared to Intel/AMD using VA-API? The only reason I haven't made the full change for Linux yet is beca

Remarks like these remind me of something John Carmack said in Joe Rogan's interview: >“There’s this piece of art that goes around the internet of this dystopian kid in a corner, drooling, with goggles on with rainbow pictures and i

This would take 5 minutes to read if you already know what you're looking for and you use it as a reference or refresher.

I saw the writing on the wall the moment they could sloppily justify the TPM requirement. Then I got into arguments with people proclaiming that it's just Microsoft enforcing it for the casual user's safety, and that I'm a Mi

The thing is, vendors will only invest resources required to make Linux builds if there's a market that justifies the investment. The only pressure companies can feel is the pressure that comes from the promise of making more money.

Installing Nvidia drivers is easy if you know what you're doing. For the last year I installed both Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 21.04. Both times I had to opt out of installing proprietary drivers during installation to avoid getting a system

The word is still used in modern Greek to denote time. For example, you can say "καιρός να κόψω το τσιγάρο" to say that it's a good time for you to quit smoking. And just for laughs, Greece being a country driven by tourism h

If there's one "conspiracy theory" I'm inclined to believe is that Microsoft deliberately makes every other Windows version subpar to the previous in order to make the market (that has the memory of a goldfish) applaud t

I feel the core idea is that hard work and deliberate practice will move both those with talent and those without forward and fretting over things you cannot change is an exercise in futility, and you're rather focus on things that you

Isn't this because everything is new to you when you have close to no life experience? Aside from our default programming mode of eat, sleep, walk the bucket we call brain is practically empty of experiences and theories when we are 5.

There are people who "change" even after marriage. My father had one such experience when he decided to get married again and his new wife asked him to put her in the house contract as an equal owner. He didn't take that well

I feel like you're having specific genre(s) and their evolution in mind. Consoles barely had any strategy games and even those were sufficiently complex, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But in terms of game design I always belie

Consider chess. How much can I claim that "I won the chess championship" if I use stockfish to play in my stead? True, in a pedantic fashion, I am the one who booted stockfish up so in a way I contributed to my matches, but this i

Yeah, but you can somewhat connect those. I mentioned "odd jobs" and I wouldn't call any of those you mentioned as such.

Unfortunately I sleep on the side, plus wearing earplugs would mean that I'd listen to my tinnitus more than the raining/white noise app.
