It sounds like / I feel like there's two categories of artists; the one is in it for the art (and would benefit from e.g. a patron or subsidies like the Irish one mentioned elsewhere / also currently on the front page) if the

One difference is that video games often take a lot more investment - at least a full-size, not-a-game-jam one. That is, the risk and upfront investment can be a lot higher. But then I'm sure that with artists it's also years of s

Variants of this were in NL as well, but it was just stuffed animals (I believe in support of health care workers); people went out for walks to go and spot them. I wish stuff like that would happen again, it was an interesting time where p

One thing I've started doing at my newest job is to keep things separate; I have separate browser profiles for personal, my employer and my current contract, separate password database files, and I try to keep them on separate MacOS sp

That was true for the Twitter alternatives too, and look how fast they grew.

Actually there is, various age verification systems exist where the party asking for it does not need to process their ID, like the Dutch iDIN ( https://www.idin.nl/en/ ) that works not unlike a digital payment - the ban

> The solution is parents using the parental control feature on their children’s devices. This is a stopgap at best, and to be blunt, it's naive. They can go on their friends' phones, or go to a shop and buy a cheap smartphone

Not just government legislation, but also lawsuits. I'm confident that Discord is a hotbed of all kinds of abuse and inappropriate / adult content, a lot targeting younger generations, and most of their resources are spent on that

> If you’re short on kindling, sufficient cardboard CAN be used to light a big log on fire. Another trick to make kindling, take cardboard or old egg boxes or I suppose kindling wood and dip them in molten candle wax / paraffin.

Quake's engine is open source and for example nvidia used it in some more recent tech demos, although this one's for Quake 2: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/quake-ii-rtx-v1-2-...

According to SteamDB (and Reddit), 2024 and 2025 both saw about 19.000 games released on Steam - there's a big jump between '23 and '24 of about 5000 games, but oddly it plateaued then. https://www.reddit.com/

I'm sure there's plenty of new software being released and built by agents, but the same problem as handcrafted software remains - finding an audience. The easier and quicker it is to build software, or the more developers build s

I've got some cheap esp32's and small oled displays lying around for years now, I should build a Beats clock as a weekend project.

"diet" implies a temporary change to achieve a certain goal. However, "changing your diet" has long term permanence in it. But this is hard for a lot of people because they don't have a fixed diet to begin with, ins

This is why on paper nobody is prescribed these drugs until they have followed a program to change lifestyle things like diet. You mention "re-selling Mounjaro" - which implies they just took the drugs without the programs, is tha

But what if this self-described obsession translates into burnout? Does it actually make you good or just work more compared to your peers? Can you maintain it for the rest of your career? (I'm just concerned; I've seen many peopl

I've downloaded and installed too many packages where the developers didn't bother with this, but I uncritically went to Mac's security settings to let it do its thing anyway. I don't know if developer utilities can be d

Same, and to avoid it going haywire I wrote an agents.md file with some prompts, like how to run a test for a single file and what to do before saying "I am done".

Not to go full pizzagate conspiracy theorist, but, Epstein is just the most out in the open and famous tip of the proverbial iceberg. These people didn't stop being nonces because some of them got caught.

Wouldn't limiting power also mean limiting their effectiveness? A government (at any layer) needs to have a certain amount of power, else they're just civilians. As for budget, a country needs money to do stuff; if they don't

I don't think this will be an issue, given history. COBOL was developed so that someone higher up could use more human language to write software. (BASIC too? I don't know, I wasn't around for either). More modern-day, low&#x

Good luck using a wheel in uneven terrain. Why would you even leave a comment like this?

I'm sure some application will be found for cargo drones, but they're limited in range, flight time, weather conditions, etc compared to people carrying stuff.

Why the elevator down though? One needs to train going down as much as going up, possibly even more (given my limited experiences hiking up / down some touristy mountains in the UK). I'd even argue going down is harder because you

Thing is, people are on the lookout for obvious AI and I'm sure they have been successful a few times. But this is like confirmation bias, they will never know whether they saw / read something AI generated if they didn't c

Not to mention, I'd argue that most people have a (subtly?) different writing style depending on where they post and to who they talk to.
