I agree but I think that’s because the Terraria presentation focuses more on all the things done outside of Terraria rather than the game itself. It feels more like "I wanted to do something silly with arbitrary constraints and it made

Yes, that's the issue I'm pointing. Now it's 15 years later, Nvidia is still not done and Wayland has seen little adoption.

They thought they could ignore Nvidia because open source and it turns out they couldn’t.

That’s mixing cause and consequences. A society is shaped by its members not the other way round. The law can punish the most egregious transgressions. It won’t set the global standard. Education and social behaviour set the standards. If y

Ah yes, the famous "if it’s not me someone else would do it therefore the system is to blame and not me". What a great logical fallacy. Your actions remain immoral even if there is plenty of other people ready to be as immoral as

It's common. Lloyds once charged me overdraft fees twice when I left England and my last debit came before my landlord returned my garanty. They then kept charging me fees for a sub-zero account every month for three months while my ac

Come on, you know what is implied. The summary is intentionally riffing on American ideological battlegrounds. Even I find that unpalatable because well, it doesn’t make much sense. Most of nature can’t be sexist. That’s a sociological term

The danger of this is obvious. Everyone is there for a different minority used feature. By caring only about the feature used by the majority, you are actually satisfying no one. That’s why product managers use persona on top of metrics. Ni

Water, paint chipping, air pollution from coal power plants. Don’t get me wrong, it would be good to phase out these cables especially the ones in the ground which contaminate the soil. But let’s not imagine they are a very significant prob

Unless you actually chew the cables, very little actual risk. I would be more worried about drinking water from a system still containing lead pipes. They still exist in a surprisingly large amount of places in the USA.

They absolutely did. Smartwatches were mostly seen as tacky before the Apple Watch. That’s part of why they chose a different form factor and partnered with luxury brands for bracelet. For Apple to make wearing them seems normal was not a g
