Google has provided a platform that for years benefited off of extremists and only recently started taking action against it. It provided multiple platforms that, like Facebook, optimized user clicks in ways that ended up causing significan

Old Google gave us Google, Gmail - new Google has been continually making it worse and/or more evil. Maps and Android are probably a bit more of a mix though. Regardless i'm not questing what Google _was_. I'm commenting on w

Not being critical of the service, but can someone help me understand here? From what i understand pricing seems the same as S3, except cheaper. So same model, just cheaper? I say that because the text makes me think "amazing, revoluti

So you propose solving that annoyance by disabling the tech entirely? Maybe we should disable the browser entirely, so now you don't have annoying sites to worry about at all! Solving a minor UX concern, easily solved by defaults and s

Getting ~11 hours of my life back from commutes a week alone is worth it. That's almost a full day! (assuming 16h wake cycles) Would i prefer in-office if i didn't have to commute? Maybe. The downsides are just not worth the upsid

We're talking about Google employees here. Squint your eyes and they look like the same company.

Depends on how highly they value WFH. Another job might have higher "benefits". It's all relative to the persons desires.

Yup. My thought process here[1] is that real friendships only occur from time. So you need long hours with people, whom you either get along with or you don't. You can choose the group of people to increase your odds for sharing intere

It's a game of incentives, imo. Companies (and people), one way or another, will always have to be expected to be greedy. This is why i'm pro-capitalism and pro-government. We can't hope for corporations to _not_ be greedy ju

I agree with you; A decision that has nothing to do with them is likely to suffer massive backlash. Because if the world doesn't fit their narrative, they will make it so. I look forward to it. Not saying it's the best strategic m

Interesting. They mention porting is possible - what would that look like i wonder? Would you make your game run under both UE4 and Godot? Or do they attempt to put a layer between whatever engine you use and the actual console APIs?
105.
by adkadskhj 5y ago
Any idea why Godot does not do consoles? Is it a licensing problem, resources problem (ie technical difficulty), or..? I'm curious because i'm dabbling in some gamedev and wanting to eventually ship mobile and console. I'm mo

Is it.. not? Or rather, what would you prefer to call it? I've long had that opinion - it is faith, in my mind. It's very logical faith, but faith nonetheless. Not in science exactly, but in the morals, honesty and competency in t

I wonder how easy and cheap i could make these? Would be neat to slowly grow a stack of these on the wall with some Pi controller and feed Wifi messages to it. Not sure why i like it, but i do.

While i love self hosted products, am i the only one often disappointed by the backend tooling _behind_ the self hosted app? This is no fault of the app devs (Monica in this case), because it just doesn't feel like there are many (any?

> Can you show some evidence that's less than two decades old though? ;) I don't agree with the GP comment, but, i doubt they'd make this mistake again even if they believe it.

Well yea, i wasn't saying `[char]` _is_ a `str`, rather i was positing that the GP comment was asking why it's a `str` than some hypothetical `[unsized_char]`. I think `char` _would_ work, if it was similarly unsized like a single

by adkadskhj 6y ago
Yea but i don't think that's what GP was asking, imo. Rather than `[str]`, i think they were asking why it's `str` and not `[char]`, no? Just as `[u8]` is to `Vec<u8>`, `[char]` is hypothetically to `Vec<char>`..

I wasn't saying it does, i'm saying _we already have to do that_. Ie, this isn't a new problem. It's a well understood problem, because language is not concrete nor so well defined as to be always explicit.

It's only during when the .. "person" talks. Which makes it quite noticeable to me because it starts and stops. It is rather faint, so i might not even notice it if it was consistent.

Well i use the term courts loosely here, as it is besides my point - my point was simply that humans _already_ interpret word as allowed or not. We do not allow all english that isn't strictly defined as bad, i thought. I can threaten

by adkadskhj 6y ago
Not that i agree with the GP comment, but isn't that exactly the point of courts? Eg death threats and all sorts of illegal wording are inaccurate in the literal, programming sense. Humans (courts/etc) interpret and ultimately rul

In an example[1], it sounds decent but i noticed a fuzzy white noise whenever the voice is talking. Is this the algorithm, or compression? If it's the algorithm, why? [1]: https://soundcloud.com/user-565970875/pock

I'm so confused on what you're saying. Are you saying it _isn't_ what commit last occurred on the given line? How would you explain this UI? https://github.com/git/git/blame/master/blame.c

by adkadskhj 6y ago
Yea, it strikes me as a poor name. Cheeky perhaps. I once had someone take me aside and ask me if it was rude to use "blame" in github to figure out who touched a specific line. They thought the name implied some sort of finger po

I keep trying to switch back to Vim but the selection-first workflows and multicursor really keep me Kakoune. I really want to like Vim again though, for Onivim (2). Looks so pretty.

by adkadskhj 6y ago
I was a Vim user for years, tried out Kakoune and never went back. I think for many Vim users there are many possible improvements. Hell, even as a Kakoune user i'd still like to see tweaks. But, i agree with the GP comment - i don&#x2
