i think there's some way in which the brain "crystallizes" as one grows up, and the modes of cognition which are the most used in daily life are deepened at the expense of others. i'd compare it to trails being worn in

ok, so i'm curious how people feel about this, but i believe, for road riding, wider tires actually do make you faster, to a point of diminishing returns around 32c, because of cadence. when you hit a bump with high PSI / road tir

this is why i think Gemini is the most interesting thing happening in the web space today. the browser itself can't overcome the fundamental bloat and decay of the web as we know it today; the heavier and heavier js load, the ridiculo

More so than even the choice of editor itself, I think the biggest argument for vim or emacs, especially for students, is that you “live in” the *nix cli. The amount of stuff you soak up being a unix tool user is just night and day compared

i'm usually not so pessimistic, but i was in a bad mood, especially because youtube-dl is such a essential tool for me. things aren't hopeless. they just feel that way sometimes.

what we've seen over the past decade or so is the creation of commons on the internet; however, these commons, like Youtube, Twitter, or Instagram, are centrally managed, owned, and controlled. the buy-in to these commons has grown an

A CoC type clause requiring mesh mask listings to be posted with a “Not a Covid preventative mask” type notice seems like it’d make sense. Idk how the implementation of that requirement would go though.

Yeah it’s a weird situation where I feel like a lot of the people who the OP-1 is aimed at either can’t afford it, period or aren’t going to pay $1300 on a “toy”. Because of its market positioning it ends up being this unattainable luxury

lcamtuf (don't know their real name) is an absolute whiz, the write-ups on their website and tools they've built are great. also, their website is an example of a great, no-BS web design, for the reason that it's one level de

i mean, another angle is the parents that are posting videos of their kids online are not asking their kids for consent first, and the kids may be themselves unable to give consent. requiring videos of children to be unlisted seems complet

uhhh...how does this prove that the chip doesn't have radio functionality? they didn't figure out any information about the chip's actual functionality beyond its PCI device name, which would ostensibly not be "SUPER SE

i highly recommend looking into UK Garage / 2step if you're into swung dance music. It's essentially the best qualities of 90's and early 00's R&B and D&B put through a dance lens. To me, nothing else in m

Hey, not the OP, but I did want to offer my 2c anyway, as someone into gamedev. I'd say you're both very right and very, very wrong at the same time. In game development, especially with indies, in the early phases of development

just to set the record straight, idtech5 uses "megatextures" / sparse virtual texturing, which is actually a very clever performance enhancement - a low-resolution render of the scene is made to determine the needed mip level

this is probably immediately evident as soon as you start going through his site, but fabian is a phenomenally smart guy. every one of his blog posts is gold if you care about things like graphics or compression.

p good analogy, people will generally ACK a phone call since it implies a higher level of importance and could be about anything under the sun, but right before giving a talk at a conference i think most people would drop that text message

if games ran on linux, i wouldn't use windows for anything. i love everything else about linux for the most part. it's a chicken and egg problem. if (AAA) games were actually released for linux, linux market share among gamers

i don't think that's what she does. i think she's the Bob Ross of Linux. what she does is to evangelize learning about low-level debugging / tracing tools and such to a wide audience, with a tone of "you can do th

it's not inherently different from computing but i don't think any of our current architectures are amenable to "real thinking". a computer that really thinks needs something much, much different from a von neumann or

i agree. not only that, there are so many beautiful feelings to be found within the realm of "sadness". and don't let that emotional pain be a barrier to you experiencing meaningful things that'll help you grow.

i agree! in fact, you know what would be a really efficient form of capitalism? what if we just eliminated wage regulation, and the marginal costs of workers to our business entirely, by making them slaves!

I 1000% agree with this. At the same time, I think developing your own engine is immensely empowering and helps you "level up" in some fashion. I'd recommend doing both. But, of course, just use an existing engine and make
