Deeply reminiscent of the gameplay of Superliminal, which is a great 4-6 hour game I really enjoyed: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/superliminal/h...

Presumably the implementation is platform dependent and they wish to start with where they believe the most relevant developer mindshare is. I'd guess it's still somewhat tricky for them to playback different replays across platfo

Or, even more in the spirit of the GP, is it a photograph that Severian calls a painting because he's never seen a photograph?

Author here: there are protections in place for demolishing rent controlled units without replacing them. Otherwise, you could easily induce tenants to leave (or Ellis them) and then just knock down their units without replacement.

I got a tip from a friend that something was off with the whole duplex/sfh situation, and I guess I have a reputation for pushing through to publication with stories like this.

I am the author. I did not bother with a refutation of the terrible piece of legislation being proposed, because others have done a better job elsewhere. One could check out https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum

"Do a bad thing" is a pretty major understatement of the degree of criminality we're talking about here. Over-representing the capabilities of Autopilot is a totally different thing that embedding a defeat device to defraud e

Uh, I mean, partly? It's a pretty strange argument to say that no one can be culpable of a bad thing so long as that thing is currently legal.

It appears so far that the NVENC chip has been the same in all the RTX 20xx cards. I haven't looked into whether that is the case with the 1660 TI, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

A lot of people are comparing RTX's NVENC to x264 medium. Favorably, I might add: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fi9o2NyPaY

For me the decisive advantage Ruby has over Python is way better map/reduce/select semantics. Python's list comprehensions are just ungainly to me, and I've never understood the reverence for them.

These are some outlandish claims without much in the way of evidence.

Disagree. GP comment's language "joining coinbase was a no-brainer" was as pathetically guileless as SV gets. There is no world in which joining Coinbase was a "no-brainer," even if it was the right decision. Coinba

I mean, in the sense that any plant that grows consumes carbon dioxide as long as we don't turn around and burn it, yes. Biohacking any particular species to express a particular trait isn't exactly solved yet, though.

I loved it (and donated to Eric for his amazing work on AoC). I do all the problems in Ruby on CoderPad, and stream it on Twitch. I love stumbling on problems that have incredibly concise solutions in Ruby (day 25 comes to mind) where you e

That's certainly your opinion, but the subsequence problem is a very general, abstract question that offers the candidate a number of ways to arrive a progressively better solution by following their intuitions. It's not the great

I, and I think probably many others, would disagree. Tolstoy is a lot of things, but to-the-point is not one of them.

I think about this question a lot. I think the article (and Borges) touch on the core issue: abstraction. I find that many of my employees find it very easy to program based on their lived experience programming similar tasks, but hard to t

This is so interesting - one wonders if this is strictly immoral. I propose this thought experiment: What if there was a version of this fraudulent brokerage that conducted this behavior in the open? Let's say their policy is something

I think you are mistaken about CPAs and accounting. For one, they cost relatively little, and two, they perform actually a pretty substantial task. It's very difficult to tie spend together end-to-end through a company automatically. T

You're weirdly stuck on this "breach of contract superseding federal crimes" thing but uh, I don't know what to tell you. This scheme is clearly wire fraud. Defrauding a payment processor out of money, over wires, is wir

You are being silly - breach of contract to deceive payment processors IS wire fraud and bank fraud, which are specific named federal crimes which cover exactly this use case. If you like, here's an excerpt from the Backpage indictment

You are mistaken, and I've mostly responded upwards in the thread, but I wanted to add that the fraud's purpose is not to prevent chargebacks, it's to be able to receive money at all. Mainstream processors refuse to work with
