I propose not stopping at input-buffering. Keep going, how fast could we get the REPL times if that were the KPI? I doubt we'd be doing full page redraws and slinging json of all things. I think what you'd end up with is something

In unity shadergraph there's a "custom node" that just lets you type in hlsl/glsl or choose a file. You set its inputs and outputs and that becomes its handles. It's pretty nice. Looks like blender has something rem

This is fascinating. I was just playing around with this pretty printing library in .net and I wondered how security critical such a thing was, and whether or not it could be trusted. https://spectreconsole.net/ Things like

If it were completely illegal to evict, it would be riskier to rent your property out for sure! I think I like this suggestion more. If that law were passed tomorrow a lot of landlords would want out of the business. Flooding the market wit

The perspective is understandable to me. It's easy to imagine rationally leaving a place vacant for longer if you're very picky about who you rent to. It's a timed binding commitment you make with your tenants, that puts you

Am I understanding you right that you believe that homelessness would decrease if it were easier to evict people? This strikes me as one of those gasoline on the fire suggestions. Made me laugh though! I never get perspectives like this any

Ah this explains why I'm not familiar with misusing IQueryables. My domain is predominately in memory. Thank you for the explanation.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm one of C# developers who operate predominately in the Unity3d slums. This isn't familiar to me. The closest thing coming to mind to me is mixing up IEnumerable and IEnumerator when trying to define a

I am guessing he meant 15mm, right? 15cm is not a small knife. Infact a 15mm diamond knife is pretty massive. The longest diamond knife I'm finding with some lazy searching is about 4mm, and it's 2200$.

Could this "reality search" stuff be parallelized? Could reaction permutation and property testing occur in a more automated fashion than is currently?

All else being equal, what has less environmental/societal/* impact? An empty mall, or an empty facebook?

One fun thing I've realized over my career is that often times the old techniques age like wine. They were created in a crucible limited by hardware and bandwidth. Now that hardware is better, the good shit just works better. There&#x

I agree with you in spirit. What I've done is dev on proc/gpu that's common but 5 years out of date. My processor's AMD and my gpu is a 3060. I've got 64gb of ram though, which I don't think is exactly ubiquito

I've bought only NVIDIA cards ever since my Radeon 9800 pro gave me the ol' ~shards of glass~ death throws too soon back in 2003. Intel GPU's have always been awful. Lamentable. An instant mark of an inferior product. That sa

As I understand it, the ACA caps profits by requiring that insurance companies spend 80% of their revenue on "medical care and quality improvement". Therefore, the only ways for insurance companies to make more money is if they ge

This sounds healthy. I find it's good to periodically examine things that you aren't persuaded by from the other person's perspective. Dig deep a little. Ask non confrontational questions to figure out where they're at a

Agree with you. Every successful team I've been on looked like this. Basically everyone just wanted to ship a thing. If that's the baseline norm, anyone motivated by politics or pecking order bullshit glow hot and everyone can see

Think about it from an animator's point of view. What's more fun, plugging a cable in or typing your heart out? There's a whole dotted outline where I could put a plug for my indie game...

To me, the way inputs and outputs are presented in nodegraph editors adds value on top of the benefits functional programming provides. You see the cascade of every change in real time. Change parameters and see every stage's new input

That's up to you. One of ways the ATF defines a firearm is "any weapon that can be converted to expel a projectile using an explosive." If you don't WANT it to be considered a firearm maybe it's sufficiently corrode

I live out in the country. Not quite "wilds" but it's about a 45 minute drive to the nearest walmart and we drink water out of a well. It's remote enough that only a few cars drive by a month. I've also found that t
