Your post seems to have been cut short before your alternative/technocratic reading suggestions. Without it, you unfortunately sound like a "just do your research" grifter to me.

As someone who bounced off Morrowind in favor of Gothic (II) because there weren't enough guardrails in place for my old self, how much of the old "here are some breadcrumbs and here's the game's final goal, but the way

I follow some chess channels on YouTube (among them the usual suspects, Gotham, Chessbrah, Eric Rosen) but do you know of any video content that does game reviews of what you describe?

So this is a similar idea to Project Gutenberg?

The blog post does not read as written by someone who has understood the whole legal process, maybe that's where your confusion comes from.

But hey, at least they get to write about their mid company name ("Plenty" - lol) got (rightfully) rejected...

To be honest, there's still a long way to go. First, what is the benefit of using this over something established like fddb or any already existing nutritional app? Second, just translating the words for the units (like cup) doesn&#x27

I had a similar thought. What if the result, statistical and significance critique aside, mostly means that when it comes to first-year tutoring of law students, the vibe, tone and overall presentation of arguments weighs a lot, maybe even

I would say that a big part of research in Ye Old Days was either your local peers and colleagues but especially it was exchanging letters with the known Big Names in their respective fields. It is not without reason that nowadays that corr

I am apparently someone who did not quite catch up to the AI lingo, so parts of the explanation are confusing to me (what is a "vault", why does this thing do stuff in a "loop", how is this more "agentic" than

This gives me weird, cultish vibes. It has an uncomfortable US-American "forced-smileness" to it that I honestly find off-putting. But maybe I have been too much in a secular and non religious bubble the last few years and that m

Really good looking! Interesting UI/UX insight: I kinda expect to be able to "go back" by inverting the coordinates. So when I have one glyph in focus and select a new one two to the left and five down, I would love to be ab

Well, that is obvious, is it not? It means They are interested in The Plan and have enough power that a vague comment is all you gonna get. Cannot have Them finding out that we are on to Them. Though of course, The Plan already accounts for

I think that as a user I'm so far removed from the actual (human) creation of software that if I think about it, I don't really care either way. Take for example this article on Hacker News: I am reading it in a custom app someone

Ok, as someone for whom a Pinecone is the thing you can collect in the forest to burn so that your campfire makes nice sounds, what's the elevator pitch?

One tiny error on my part when reading the title and it took me several HN comments to realize this is not a website about finding hedges.

Wasn't there a comment on this phenomenon along the lines "we were so afraid of 1984 but what we really got was Brave New World"?

Can someone ELI5 what this does? I read the abstract and tried to find differences in the provided examples, but I don't understand (and don't see) what the "photorealistic" part is.

Super interesting! So if I understand correctly, all you need to do to have this in your home is gather a bunch of 1:2 tiles, cut them along the diagonal, and assemble them as shown? Awesome

Ok, it is a font alright. To me, it looks exactly as all the other fonts I have on my OS already, but I guess that's just how it is if you are not in the font bubble.

I wish you luck, your description is unfortunately very vague in the cybersec topic. There will probably hundreds of articles like the one you are specifically looking for and most of them will be published in dark-themed personal blogs wri
