Kind of a thoughtless comment from an industry that owes so much to the open source community.

Sure - I would say many of these would be much better suited for creation in a competent raster-based tool: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9c/a8/7f/9ca87fcc3a2bed54edfb... https://d33wubrfki0l

An increasing problem I see with designers is that they no longer use tools that are truly capable of pushing pixels. Sure, Figma et. al. can crank out nice looking flat designs, but that's about it. We are essentially experiencing &#x

There's a huge assumption here, that it's not useful to know or understand what Russia is saying. I'm not comfortable with insulating the western world from knowing what propaganda Russia is peddling.

There's are LTS versions. You could always just use one of those and only upgrade when you feel the desire.

Well, first - recognize that learning something, and being able to explain it to others quickly and clearly are two separate problems. Both are difficult. Even for areas that I have a high degree of knowledge in, I find that practicing how

I'm confused, the graph they show in the article refutes the headline.

This is dancing around the real issue - there are many different district processes that our eyes use which fuse into a sense of 'being there'. Any attempt to compress this into a single monographic static image will be a compromi

I would love something like this if it easily supported media such as images, etc.

I agree. Often, what I am after online is to see what other real people are saying about something. typing 'reddit' into google is basically a proxy for "please google for the love of good, can you start indexing actual h

Rose colored takes on new technology are not in short supply. What's difficult, is to find well reasoned and thoughtful discussions that pick apart new ideas. Yes, discussions on HN tend to bend towards the latter, but it's a us

Perhaps the idea that you can, or should, replace social media with yet another website where you spend 20% of your waking hours is misguided. Like so many things in life, the dosage matters.

You seem to be conflating 'competitive' with being highly competent. In my experience, it's not necessary to be competitive, but pursuing a high level of competence IS quite important. Yes, doing just enough to pass a day w

Can someone explain something about fusion for me? To make a fusion reactor that's useful you have to solve two problems: First you have to build a working fusion reactor. Second, you have to capture that energy to do useful work. Give

That's not how science works.

I think analogy is useful in an argument for a few reasons: 1. It can reduce the problem space to the factors which the parties see as important. 2. It can uncover differences of opinion as to which factors are deemed important to the pro

>VAERS is an open database, it can be easily submitted to by anyone, it's not a good source of truth and may contain statistical bias. This is 100% true, but it leaves out some context. Prior to covid, it was thought that vaccine si

I'm not certain that what you describe is different than what the OP is saying.

The big, unsolved problem there is that much of the 'look' relies on great camera composition and lighting specifically for that shot. This is something that's pretty specific to film and can't be recreated for games whe

Ahoy might be one of my favorite creators on youtube. His production value is truly 'broadcast quality' while simultaneously including content that is so much more interesting and in depth than you'd ever see on television.

Cynically, I wonder if what Apple will do here is make it difficult/impossible for independent repair shops to take advantage of this. Thus, Apple gets good press ("See! We support right to repair!"), but in the end, they kno

Eh, this is just extending the argument into absurdity I feel.

Hmm. The closest analogue to metaverse is probably the internet. And the way that played out is probably the most notable counterexample to your claim. It's not clear to me that it's a foregone conclusion how this will play out.

It depends heavily on the state you live in I believe. It's also somewhat irrelevant to my point: if you're going to be on the road with a vehicle that has similar capabilities to a motorbike, you should at least know what the ot

I agree with this. I definitely think there are some kinds of pedestrian traffic that probably shouldn't use a high traffic mixed trail. Situational awareness and understanding how to stay on your 'side' of the trial is prett

In a perfect world, sure. But it's quite a bit better than treating bikes as human powered cars. It's also pretty easy to do safely: walk and ride on the right, pass on the left, and only when there's no oncoming traffic. Peo

I think it's charitable to say there are even two fully useful evasive actions on a bike. An absolutely tiny contact patch and low weight mean that there's simply not enough traction for any sort of aggressive change in directio

I'm of the mind that it's up to every individual to decide how much risk they want to take, but I think an e-bike that can do 55 mph is significantly more dangerous than a motorcycle. Tiny amount of traction, no ability to maneuve

More specifically, you have and electric motorcycle with no traction, no safety features and an untrained rider.
