If a man is using a telescope to look into my house to watch the football game, he does not get to be upset when I change the TV to weird inflation porn.

Obviously anecdotal, but I feel that my success in fields of programming and computer science are precisely because I had _more_ access to advanced math courses, not _less_. I started doing symbolic algebra in 4th grade, and by the end of h

Wow, the question posed to the neural nets (and their inability to respond) really gets to the heart of something that I've tried to articulate to others: that ML cannot conceptualize of things in the abstract like people can. They can

I don't understand how anybody can be surprised by this. You help lower income people, suddenly there's a whole new market for products that were previously out of their reach. You cut back investment in the lower classes (austeri

Feels like this is tyranny of easily measured metrics. If your north star metric is something more focused (number of fun dates!) that incentivizes features and experiments that push that number up, but if the number is DAU, suddenly you&#x

I think if you used the modern Unreal Engine you would change your tune.

I don't think that's true, and I don't think the juice would be worth the squeeze. Unreal's flavour of C++ is heavily managed, relying on preprocessing of header files to create garbage collecting pointers and a whole he

It's a shame Unity seems so intent on making itself unattractive to developers. I prefer writing c# to c++, and I think Unity's onboarding experience is much better than Unreal. But when it comes to a non-solo-development effort,

Very little to learn in terms of key syntax + a lot of Real Words allows it to be an approachable scripting language for non-computer-specialists. The library ecosystem allows it to be used broadly, but it's not unique in this regard.

so your argument is, "you've got to write functions, therefore abstraction is always good" ? yeah man i don't start in main() and never write another function ever again. You got me. But I also don't aggressively po

100% agree, especially about refactoring duplicated logic. Super-duplicated code begs to be refactored, and having many examples of the same functionality helps you build an API that is robust without adding "what-if" functionalit

I've never so viscerally disagreed with a link on this website. Particularly this point: > Duplication is bad. In fact, duplication is one of the most dangerous mistakes in coding. This to me reads insane, fanatical. One of the bigg

The part that really got to me was this paragraph: >“That is what drives us crazy,” the detective said. “You come here and act like you’re on vacation. Like this is some paradise. It doesn’t even occur to you to keep yourself safe. We ha

This is really, really upsetting to be happening in my country. I know it is a very big country, and Kansas isn't exactly proximate, but we are either a country that protects the press, or we are a country where the press protects thos

Feels like this would be akin to requiring a car manufacturer stop the car if it detects you trespassing. Feels both intrusive & difficult to enforce, which is always a horrifying combo.

If people were motivated to build compelling education content for free, congress would not need to incentivize it with a contest, no? Incentives aren't there. As somebody who has judged indie games festival entries, I can tell you tha

This smacks of out of touch bureaucrats saying "what do the kids like? Video games? Lets get some of them together." $20k covers next to no development of a modern video game. If they _actually_ wanted to engage with folks creatin

The author's point is that, with the data available to the platform owners, they could easily deduce the subset where that P value is nearly zero (having already bought the mattress). Places that would also make sense to advertise matt

I agree that "Who cares!" should be the default response here, as long as it's clear, but I think some folks (especially in engineering) think that "more rules = more clear," or "if we encode all of this inform

I would expect an article title like this to be backed up by some dramatic increase in healthcare availability (like free healthcare in the U.S.) but no, it's just the people at the high end have access to better care than ever before.
