It's more likely someone gets killed by a police car rushing to the scene or in a car chase than a drone falling on someone. These arguments aren't very effective.

Many people hold values like this that are immediately dismissed once the technology in question can save something or someone they truly hold dear. I very much understand and share the fears of a surveillance state. I would also throw thos

Not enough people know about Pantheon. However both Scavenger's Reign and Pantheon feel distinctly different from Japanese anime. They have a much more Western aesthetic eye visually, narratively, and especially in terms of music I fee

Agreed the built-in window management isn't ideal (although I do like Spaces and Mission Control a lot more than what I've seen in Linux/Windows defaults) but there are a lot of free and simple apps that significantly improve

Additional software being free by default is definitely an advantage Linux has, although usually not the benefit I see pointed to by most Linux users. That being said I am a dev and a designer and I can't think of any paid software I u

I am not offended at all, just curious and your reply confirmed my assumption? Genuinely, how did you get offended out of that?

I'm curious what you can do in Pop_OS that makes MacOS software "meh" in comparison? I have a few friends who are Linux devotees yet watching them do stuff seems so tedious and slow in comparison to my workflows. Like I get t

On the flip side you also get ground-effect when you are low to the ground where the high-pressure underneath the wing gets trapped against the ground creating a cushion of pressure increasing lift.

This is very cool and I know a LOT of people who would buy and wear these. If you productized these (possibly make them rechargeable and simply way to program the LEDs) they would definitely sell.

Cool! I like the "intelligent canvas" concept. Not exactly the same but my brother and I have been building a side project that also is all about making the most of a set of information using different views like maps, calendars,

I'm sure this will be possible in future Vision Pro devices, main issue right now is probably performance. Macbook Pros already can only push to 2-3 monitors (albeit at higher resolution) and the Vision Pro is also running its own apps

Yes but it was an obvious trap and self-inflicted wound. Is giving the technically correct answer alone actually better considering the resulting consequences? Would have been smarter to give both the desired answer (calling for genocide is

Following this line of logic no one should have empathy for anything except the victims of the worst disaster or atrocity in history. A lot of the people who are rightly supporting Palestine now showed no empathy or support for the many muc

Genuinely curious what your personal approach is to "picking" a religion to believe in. Generally I know most people don't pick a faith and just have the one they grew up with, but you strike me as someone who actually critic

You have to define free will first, and that is essentially impossible. What is happening in that "processing" though? That is not free will, your will is being determined by the state and context your brain is in. In fact any thi

It isn't an edge case in the SAAS world, it's just that the majority of SAAS tools either don't implement mobile, or don't do it well. Every single SAAS company I have worked for in the last decade has had complex web ap

Sure for a content-site template, blog, or something else fairly basic. This is not at all the case for things like art-directed super-custom designed sites like magazines, fashion brands, museums, etc, OR highly complex interactive SAAS we

Not really. No media queries, no percent widths or non-pixel units, no margins (everything is padding or gap), no viewport units, etc. I'm a CSS person who works in Figma every day and Figma absolutely sucks for responsive design and h

Designers usually not the problem here. Most are well aware that rendering should change between different types of devices and displays, they use these website and devices too! The problem usually is the resources and time available to imp

I don't think panpsychism is really a religious stance, it's just a logical solution to the problem of qualia. It certainly isn't testable and there are a lot of people who come to views that are loosely called panpsychism th

This is an absurd argument because it inconsistently moves the value of giving credit outside of the realm of determinism. Since everything is determined then the concept of credit would become meaningless. It is not meaningless because it

Except you still see the encapsulated classes when you inspect it in production, and often that is where the bugs appear and need to be figured out. The ridiculous class strings get particularly hilarious when anything beyond basic CSS is u

Exactly. The moment you start working outside of the React bubble you begin to discover just how many of these problems are solved by things like Svelte/Vue's single-file components and a few decent editor extensions. I don't

But if I understand correctly the optics can't recreate how our eyes focus on near and far things in reality. So if something is supposed to be 100 meters away it will still be physically like focusing on something 1-2 meters away due

Phones have adblockers too. I know they are harder to use on Android than iOS, but both have them.

I was born in 1987 and don't think it is too slow at all. Just don't pull your phone out while watching a movie and take some time experiencing the slowness. It might feel boring or torturous at first, but give it some time and yo

I think we may be talking about different goals here. There is no effect in stating a "truth" that is not received and you don't enjoy stating. If they want the truth to be known, they need to make more effort for it to be co

This comment sounds like copy-pasta so not sure if it's being posted in disagreement or in satire. However if it is genuine, as someone who used to think this way I realize now it is falling for the same black and white worldview that
