Sounds like the governments fault. I don't believe in allowing choices that go against the grain of common sense and utilitarian consequence.

Sounds good to me let's get rid of alcohol the US has a really unhealthy relationship with it anyway, let's do it. Lockdown protects the public health and has long standing precedent. https://www.law.cornell.edu/su

Sounds like this solves a problem in VR too if the lens work for visible light or at least contributes to solving it?

Sorry, I just get frustrated being told every 25 year old is a no experience green hack. I've worked with plenty of older devs who are absolutely a treasure to this industry.

Ah you see I've interacted with some of their leadership which was enough for me, whether that is enough to be meaningful I suppose is a matter up for interpretation. Fair point otherwise.

I agree which is why I didn't get my title by leveraging those things. Layering social graces on top of technical capability and delivering solidly on some larger scale projects both by planning, leading and executing them, however, wi

Apologies. Food for thought.

No, I have 15 years experience in computing. I assure you I am not a greenhorn and you are insulting.

Every time I've interacted with someone from IBM I've found myself questioning how they've managed to continue being a company. Have you looked at their public facing offerings lately? Watson is garbage, IBM cloud is garbage.

Yeah this entire statement was also incredibly ageist and painting with broad strokes. If your litmus test for good programmer is "number of languages known" you aren't a good programmer. I'm 25, I've been programmi

What's the foundation for us not deserving to be OK? Equally not trolling. I frankly find the notion of deserving in this case to have very little meaning. Life I don't think has these moral absolutes, can you make it okay for you

"However, their marketing tries to sell themselves as no-code platform for business folks." Huh? I've never seen Airflow described as no code or tried to sell itself that way, in fact all the pipelines are written in python a

I don't like it because calling a non monopoly a monopoly has potentially broader implications for other companies not just Amazon, I don't like the dominoes the shift to this thinking implies.

by Grimm1 6y ago
Words have power and you should try to be precise with them, monopoly doesn't mean badly behaved corporation and you'll find I disagree with the thought that Amazon is a badly behaving corporation in any case. Monopoly implies you

They aren't a near monopoly though. They have about 49% of the eCommerce market. https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/13/amazons-share-of-the-us-e-... It's gone up since I last checked, but that's no

Heavy disagree, protocols are just an interface like solution and things that share a common set of functionality can probably benefit from utilizing a protocol. GenServers I disagree with you on even more so since they can handle arbitrary

I mean https://minecraftathome.com/minecrafthome/ is a thing that people do so I kind of expect people will do this as well. And tons of people participate on Folding@home which also uses GPU these days.

This has been a common thing forever. Whether it's right is very much and should be up for discussion but I'm surprised at how many people seem to be learning this for the first time. Same thing worked with the small silver shield

It's common outside of sci-fi as well one of the biggest fantasy RPGs Final Fantasy regularly incorporates "Magitech" as they call it into their worlds.

Thanks for this, I can't edit my post anymore though. Sorry about that :/

I respectfully disagree. If you look at the history of CD Projekt red they tend to do a great job of translating a source story and world into a compelling video game setting and story. Witcher 3 was critically acclaimed for a reason. As I

Oh neat, thank you for the link.

Kind of but without spoiling anything that was mostly conjecture by the general populace. A lot of the scenes where Motoko is on the VR-esque message boards are other people speculating on the Laughing Man's motives. Edit: Though on qu

If you're into anime, Psycho Pass had a few episode subplot that pretty much was that, minus the in letter format.

Oh interesting, I've only looked at some scenary and the announcement trailer because I didn't want to spoil anything for myself. I mean if that's the case then their goal isn't really to make a modern adaptation of the

Right but I guess my point is that re-exploring and re-contextualizing those ideas for a modern audience has a place in carrying the torch. Cyberpunk 2077 gave me strong Akira vibes from the character aesthetics and the scenery is what I im

Right exactly, we currently live in a world just shy of having Zaibatsus with their own paramilitary arms minus some of the flashier tech but still including many elements of the dystopias works from the 80's and 90's and even ear

I'll also add in terms of the concerns of cliches, I mean the ethics and ideas in Cyberpunk have 40 years of discussion and mainstreaming now which means many people will wear the ideas of cyberpunk as an aesthetic and really not inter

I mean maybe in books, but Deus Ex and the remakes are as fresh as a few years ago now we have Cyberpunk 2077 coming out and Detroit Become Human is fantastic from a story setting. Not to forget The early 2000s telling of Ghost in the Shell
