> One wallet changes nothing. Once again, this is something I hear often and I strongly disagree. I'm lucky to be born into western civilization with the paradigm to respect the power of an individual. It seems to me it is eastern i

Imagine what would happen if everyone did what the author did. The system would collapse. I think you put a wrong diagnosis that the author couldn't possibly affect the administration. Maybe not much, maybe there was only a chance, but

I see this type of an argumentation very often and I strongly disagree. You're removing all responsibility from an actor that is a part of a bigger thing. Imagine if you slapped someone on his hand for doing something wrong, and he or

I think it's a fair argument in the context of big corporations using the technology.

As far as I know, setting upload speed to zero disables the limit. You can set it to be very low but not zero.

russia has a choice. putin doesn't.

Maybe you should update your epistemology and stop listening to the guys that said so; I listen to the experts who say (since 2022) sanctions hurt, but russia is like a big tree - even if you poison it, it won't fall on the next day; i

There's very little decision making in the game: You don't choose battle rewards, they are forced onto you, you get only one reroll that rerolls the entire triplet. Choosing the path is choosing between fighting an elite or not, a

What can you do with 90%? Accuse people of plagiarism and ignore the fact you will hurt 10% of innocent people, while still allowing 10% of cheaters? Of course there's ambiguity in the "accuracy" term, but I assumed you can b

I'm not an expert on this, but the way I see it, the opposite is true: people don't vote on small parties, because if a small party doesn't reach the minimum required, the vote is wasted. This way there's only a few part

This is why Electron is so popular. Building entire factory is very expensive.

Yes, the thing is, the browser is an extremely expensive abstraction layer. It's like having a car factory where everything is built by general purpose robots - it's very versatile, but obviously if you build an assembly line usin

This seems like such an obvious answer to the problem, your program isn't truly modularized if logging is global. If an error is unexpected it should bubble all the way up, but if it's expected and dealt with, the error message sh

No, it's not much easier to please. You will compete with Chrome and you will lose. It is the core audience that is much easier to please, because those are loyal users that trust you and all you have to do is respect this trust by pro

If most people move from Firefox to Waterfox, then Waterfox can acquire Firefox devs, no? Obviously it comes to money, but the first step to gain funding is to gain popularity...

It's largely about pattern detection in our brains. If the pixels always look the same, it's easier to spot them. For many people graphics in a video game are a secondary addition but the decision making is uncontested priority; m

If the volume was defined by a manifold mesh, it was already trivial to scatter points, then remove points that when raycasted down on that manifold mesh "volume" hit a normal.z < 0, hardly a node spaghetti as the article says.

Plus if you could use WASM modules as opposed to node systems, you would have a more powerful programming environment - for example, the mentioned "repeat" zone doesn't have "break" functionality, so you need to use

Yea but it's not like those people have never seen water. And yet it's not so simple, that you can use water but the water eventually comes back to you. There is a hell lot more nuance to this.
