What if it's a game without a quest log? Achievements are just a universal framework for this kind of thing. So developers don't have to reinvent the wheel with every game. Sounds like the kind of standardization that is a good th

I mean, we know why. It's been co-opted by toxic male communities and is being bastardized by people who twist it to justify them being assholes. It is interesting though that Stoicism has this problem but Buddhism doesn't, even t

Out of curiosity, why would one want to learn programming for AmigaOS today?

I mostly just organized events with friends and my brother's friends. Biggest LAN party we had was around 20 people at our parent's house (back when we still went to high school). Networking was such a nightmare. Either it was try

This is the experience I've made with remote work. Whenever I was at the office, I spent way more time hanging out with colleagues and socializing. When I'm at home, I'm way too worried about seeming like I'm slacking of

But how does that understanding help you in this case? I just see somebody who's deciding not to give any further thought to Dracula, Bram Stoker or how the story was written, instead aiming for the low fruit of "corporate capital

... I don't understand. What's your complaint here? Is it somehow a bad thing for them to write a topical article that adds context to a current piece of media? I had no idea about these details of Bram Stoker's Dracula and i

Seems like the implementation was impractical, but it's basically what we do with Obsidian and any modern knowledge management software. Feels to me like it was ahead of its time.

Look around sometime. I never see everybody clapping the same way. There are tons of variations, including what you do, and plenty of people use them.

Why do people always talk about CIA as if it existed in a vacuum? The KGB were at least as ruthless and I can't imagine how badly everything would've gone without the CIA or other intelligence services on our side. Even now we hav

Housing is a fixed cost that everyone is required to pay. I can stop buying chicken. I can't stop paying for housing. There are peculiarities about housing as a "product" that make it nonsensical to compare to other products

I think it's largely a solution for bad UI, both in the web and in the browser. I have a window open just with YouTube tabs of videos that interest me and that I intend to watch in the near future. As an OS-level window, it has weight

Iirc, Evergrande took on debt to pay for construction and used the money paid by customers to service those debts. That's the missing step.

With that context, it lands completely differently, definitely. Thanks for explaining and being so understanding.

They seem to be aware of the dangers of perverse market incentives and they also know the real estate market is completely shot. Propping up Evergrande doesn't fix the underlying issues while letting it fail would not just wipe out the

The problem is the term "bankruptcy". Colloquially people seem to think a company is just out of money. All you need to file for bankruptcy is to be unable to service debts at a specific time. It might even just be a transitory st

I would have to assume the company didn't use those payments to fund the building of properties for earlier mortgages. The Ponzi scheme nature of it is the Chinese thing (not that it has anything to do with being Chinese, it's jus

Not tolerating sexist jokes isn't emotional immaturity. Especially in a very sexist industry and in a sexist society where making these jokes about women is somehow seen as okay by way too many men. It's not funny. I have values (

I'd rather try the defaults, see if it works or what doesn't work, or just to gain some experience for how everything involved works, and then work off of that known baseline. Anything else just feels like randomly throwing shit a

It simply isn't. Just look at how Linux works. Combining tools over agreed upon interfaces. If you want to replace one tool with another, you don't need to change every other tool and have knowledge of every other problem domain.
