It could be two landers, one stacked on top of the other for takeoff, but separate for landing EDIT: or a horizontal lander, packed on it's side for takeoff. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but landing something thi

The grid layout makes this look so futuristic (and anime [1]). It looks very cool, though I wonder how long it'd take to get used to one, having only ever typed on staggered layouts. [1] https://gifer.com/es/BFCV

I generally agree with the idea of building things, iterating, and experimenting before knowing their full potential, but I do see why there's negative sentiment around this: 1. The first microcomputer predates VisiCalc, yes, but it do

I don't have one of these, so I can't try, but very cool! Seeing that Winamp skin screenshot was especially interesting to me, because I'd assume Winamp is itself a digital representation of an audio player— an abstract stand

Not unless someone ports typescript to typescript types. That would be some next-level self-hosting haha

At this point the easiest way to know if a system is Turing complete is to check if someone has ported DOOM to it haha Very impressive!

I've been building a little web DAW on the side for a minute. It's very early and not great yet, but it features some Faust effects [1] and WAMs [2]. https://minidaw.aykev.dev/ [1]: https://faust.grame.

+1. I think eggs prices are easy to spot since: - they're sold everywhere - they're bought by everyone - they happen to be exceptionally high at the moment It makes them an easy poster-child for inflation.

Just for the sake of sharing prices in the context of North America— in Mexico 12 eggs go for $2.21 [1], 18 for $2.46 [2] and 30 for $4.90 [3]. This is just a normal supermarket, and the brand is just a common local one, not the cheapest an

I don't know about all of FAANG and about recent policies, but last I checked, Facebook and Google adjust your pay based on location. Even if you start in the USA and transfer to another office you'd take a pay cut. As far as I kn

Not hating, just describing. And to be fair though, the players do make the game too.

I wouldn't say it's what makes the ultra-rich possible, but it certainly makes things easier for them.

Do we? In school the max grade we can get is 100%, and everyone seems fine with that. People don't seem to complain that there's a cap. In videogames there tend to be max levels, or max scores. People play them knowing they won&#x

+1. It's very different gambling $10 million if it's all the money you have, vs if it's just 4.58% of your net worth, as is the case with Ellison for example.

by aylmao 2y ago
IMO because you have to be a psychopath/sociopath to make that amount of money. We're talking hundred's of billions of dollars here; $20 million is already a big fortune where 2% interest gets you $200,000. These people (on p

The UI is very well built! Love the details too— from the line additions/deletions live counter while the AI is generating code, to the logo that points towards your cursor.

It doesn't assume it, it's syntax, you can just use it without knowing where it comes from. It's like english. You don't need knowledge in obscure proto-germanic linguistics to use articles in your sentences. But if you

I can't think of a period in history where most nations were democracies either, where most women could vote, or where most people had access to public education. But alas, here we are.

I haven't been to Portland since 2018, but I have been to and seen LA and San Francisco downtowns. They didn't decriminalize, but their downtowns are pretty unpleasant too. I wonder to what degree Portland is a product of its loca
