Consider that when doing 3d modeling you usually do not work on the mesh data itself but on a visual representation of it. Sometimes you have to go under the hood of this representation to write e.g. shaders.. But you'd like to not do

This is really cool but the execution is a bit cludgy at the moment (it looks great but the games themselves are confusing / too easily messed up). if polished up I could see it being really popular a la wordle.

Feel this strongly. That all of the "autocomplete"-style improvements that LLMs to programming are indications of massive deficiencies in programming: we're in many ways stuck in a ~2010-era model of what programming is, whic

I feel like it's important to keep in mind that everyone who has predicted a concrete near-future timeline at all is completely full of shit.

I had a decent time there a decade ago. In retail, though, not AWS.

That's absurd. It's hypocritical to describe best practices as best practices because you haven't perfectly implemented them? Either they're best practice or they aren't. The customers have the option of risking non

The claim was that that they're total hypocrites aren't multi region at all. That's totally false, the amount of redundancy in aws is staggering. But there are foundational parts which, I guess, have been too difficult to do

We're kinda talking about different philosophies here. There's "can it be done in any timeline" and "can it be done practically". Of course it can't be done practically. But if that is a 100%-filter on the

well if you redefine the word "restaurant", sure...

by ajkjk 1y ago
best case scenario is walkable neighborhoods with lots of little tasty restaurants at affordable prices around the corner from everybody. We've got a long way to go on actually building out our own country in a desirable way.

it still sucks, though, since there's no conceivable reason why it would be technically necessary to have an account. It's purely out of self-serving disrespect.

I read somewhere that domesticated dogs are to some degree bred to stay in their "childlike" state, so in a way they act like wolf puppies that never get older. Probably different breeds have different degrees of this. But anyway,

the fact that you have to have an apple account to do all kinds of basic developer tasks (installing Xcode / Xcode command line tools, which are needed for lots of stuff last time I checked (a few years ago?)) is evidence that they suc

I'm curious about the moral underlying an objection like this. Why do you care about whether the prize exactly reflects his will? And why specifically for this prize, when your objection has applied for most of a century across every f

Feedly's bullshit about AI and enterprise "insights" is incredibly irritating. Like, I read articles about cooking and math. Why would I want AI-powered security insights? Why would anyone want them, for that matter? It seems
