This is my approach: - figure out what to watch - subscribe via iOS - cancel immediately to not get billed after the first month - watch show - repeat If it is just a single movie, rent instead of subscribe. I don’t want to own movies or di

I don’t know Beeminder. But if they launched 10 years ago, they are not a case in point. By now, they probably stay afloat despite feeling unfinished, because they have established marketing channels and word of mouth. Would the same servic

Imagine you are an artist and have a specific style and one day you wake up and the computer program that ripped off your style gets credit for that particular style, as in "4000 midjourney artistic styles". Horrible.

Mindustry is fantastic. Played the Erekir campaign twice. I didn’t like the Serpulo campaign. It’s almost like two different games. Erekir is automation plus RTS. Serpulo is automation plus tower defense.

Not at all. It’s common to have nested data, it can be quite simple, but still nested. Think: config objects, simple state objects. I want my functions to be pure. Instead of modifying the nested object, they should return a modified deep c

The gist of the whole thing is this: > I'm not talking about making things entertaining. But it does matter how you phrase things. You can mistakenly make a complex thing sound simple, and you can make a simple thing sound complex.

Sounds like you implemented MVC. Model (=Component) handles its own state. Screen (=View) subscribes to state changes in the model. ScreenManager (=Controller) glues it all together. It probably works just fine, but gets cumbersome if you w

I guess tastes are different, but I can't really follow how you like the not- ideal super bright colors and at the same time advocate using only shades of grey. Shades of grey colorized would result in the same pastel colors you seem t

Not as easy as the current trend of "just get a vasectomy, it's easy and reversible" suggests. The problem with a vasectomy is that there is a low, but non-zero chance that you get long-lasting pain from it. After all, they c

If you claim that 99% of code is over-engineered, you better provide a good definition of over-engineering and best practices for not over-engineering. Because with a claim like this, I assume your model or definition of over-engineering is

In your analysis, it seems like the growing person should be recognized by the chosen class and be given a shot at relationships. Why though? If you don’t belong to the chosen class, find a partner that isn’t in the chosen class as well and

It's not silly. Drawing from photos isn't super bad and you can still learn a lot of useful skills, but you'll get: - wrong colors, because of the lower dynamic range of a camera compared to the human eye - lens distortions

The octopus has similar fight or flight responses as humans. Plants don’t have it. It’d be kind of cruel to have a non-moving living being constantly suffer pain or fear of being killed. Hence, the actual genetic similarity is less importan
