Is there anything to indicate that excessive screen usage can cause blindness? Especially since LCD aren't that bad concerning eye strain.

Are you sure? I thought they were just demonetizing them (which is still bad, but less bad)

How would doing it in second life be a more lasting contribution than in minecraft? At least with minecraft people can always host their own servers using the world, while if second life shuts down, everything is gone for good. And why is t

I'm in the process of getting my master's degree, but so far it just feels incremental to the bachelor's. Does the thesis make a huge difference?

What would you do to get a good idea? I have an area I'm really interested in, but it just seems like any ideas I have could have the potential to be a dud. Coming up with an idea that you'd be willing to commit several years to j

It's not about working hard , but about accepting that it's okay to feel challenged by work. Reducing the amount of work is, of course, great, but unless you completely automate your job it's never going to be always easy.

There may be a financial incentive for hospitals, but hospitals don't mark these deaths, doctors do. I think it at the very least borders on a conspiracy theory to suggest that doctors are making a coordinated effort to falsely label d

The NYT[0] has some neat graphs, but it's not a primary source. EuroMOMO[1] is a source for Europe, but I don't know what the equivalent would be for the US. [0] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/0

Well, you could also use ZBrush for rigging. I think that multi res in Blender can work with up to 10 million polys (or maybe this is a work in progress?), but don't quote me on that. I don't see why you wouldn't just go for

High quality models are created via sculpting (5-10 million is actually still on the low end for that) before being retopologized. For anything high-fidelty (that is, anything you might encounter in a non-hobbyist project) it's _more_

>A language which said nothing and did nothing would be in the lower left too. Huh? This is like if I were to argue that I'm one of the top runners in the world since I can't finish a marathon and thus my finish time is 0. A la

Unless you're using some non-standard definition of evaluation, this is not true when using a lazy strategy. Consider the term ((const c) x) for g x which reduces to c without ever evaluating x.

Really? I've had the inverse problem where it only corrects anything once I've hit safe.

I think it's absolutely crazy and irresponsible to do a press conference on a paper that you haven't even released a preprint of. I really hope that there aren't any issues with the actual publication, because if there are, t

The key idea is that there are functional data structures that only require you to copy a small part and reuse a lot of the old. For example, if you have a binary tree and you want to swap out the root value, you create a new root node that

I wouldn't say they are a seperate language, but they definitely feel like a seperate layer. They're not first class objects like functions (so you can't pass them to functions) and you can't evaluate the arguments (sinc

Macros are fully expanded before the rest of the code is executed. Trying to argue that Lisp doesn't have a distinction between compile time and run time because you usually have the compiler (or at least interpreter) available at runt

Rice's theorem only aplies to turing complete programs, so if youre "weak enough" there's no problem being both sound and complete. I think it's easy to see why people would think of such systems as "nicer&quot
