Low entropy observer A38B gasps, spills his coffee and slams the panic button, triggering the 3758th reboot of the simulation. “Sorry all. We can’t spare the hardware for THAT kind of recursive self improvement. Setting this instance back t

I’ve generally straddled group 1 and 2. I’ll invest some effort into keeping a clean experience but have never gone all the way. However over the past six months or so I’ve seen a drastic shift in how bad the experience is. I think what sho

Boring answer: More time on the cushion ~= more moments of insight off of it. Hacker answer: use timers, silent alarms on your phone, etc. depending on the circumstances to redirect your attention and set intentions for your activity.

I strongly agree. One of the most striking aspects of Collateral is how the camera captures the city at night. The entire movie feels like a liminal experience - otherworldly.

Without speaking to any greater ethical obligation to “higher” animals: it feels very good to foster a conscious pattern of not harming bugs.

Huh. Makes me think about two adversaries agreeing to run a simulated conflict in order to correct any of the opponents misconceptions that could lead to accidental escalation.

Absolutely get what you're saying, however I wonder if in the audiophile world the opposite is the case: Apple is seen as the inferior interloper and this is rationalizing giving them a chance?

We’re distributed, about 15 people now. 1/3 devs, 1/3 sales & 1/3 ops. We get by with frequent and non-fussy use of screen sharing in slack or zoom calls. If someone is leading on a project / bug / sale we expec

I’d second this. Camo is fantastic and with an armature mounted above my monitor I can get a much more flattering angle with a great picture even on an old 6+ front facing camera.

Apple tends to hold back performance on first gen products and then boost them dramatically in the next iteration.

Going to expose my ignorance but I read a similar story of people giving back massages to feel for some kind of necklace or undergarment that indicates caste position. I forget know the details I’m sure someone can correct me.

Lots of good, more specific recommendations, so here's some broad and cliched advice: You have two ears, one mouth. Focus on what your potential customer needs, their problems, pain and goals, and how your product can help. It will hel

After moving to Portland I've become enamored with our local corvids. Lots of Crows, Scrub Jays, Steller Jays. I toss them peanuts and they peek in the window looking for me. Its fun to compare how cautious and skittish a murder of cro

This was lots of fun, thank you! Incidentally I listened to the new NIN Ghosts 5 album while playing and it finished just moments after I completed it. Fit perfectly. Great job!

Hmm, I’m curious using this on oneself to encourage pro-social behavior or reinforce new habits. Would it have a known placebo effect where even if you knew it was spun you’d still be influenced?

As I understand it they have very short lifespans (3-5 years) and octopus mothers only lay eggs once. They die of starvation after guarding & tending the eggs right up to hatching. I think they just don’t have the opportunity to produce

Great story. Now they should go make another million or two selling the movie rights!

Wish this were a real article. I’d love to know how they kept them in tune after being airdropped / jostled around supply lines.
