Same. Coming from Visual Studio, XCode always felt just kinda bad.

You have to move exactly the number of dots shown in the roll. Trees block you. You can't finish your move on sand or water. You also can't do "knight moves". So you're kind of stuck going straight or at 45 degree a

It works for everyone . Full stop. Even if your metabolism slows down in response to caloric restriction, it does not move the needle to any appreciable degree. Because it takes energy to do. It just does, you cannot fool physics. However

David Lynch embodies the quote from Thelonious Monk: "The genius is the one most like himself." No matter what he did, no matter what you think of his works, he never compromised on being himself.

People are generally good at context. Tone, expression, etc, all of these things are parts of communication that do matter. Assume your audience is at least as smart as you are.

Dickens did it. And people have been doing it since the 1700s. Not to mention, if you're using the word "literally" to mean "something that actually happened", you are also using the word wrong. Because it means &qu

All this does is move when the issue he claims exists presents itself. If we flip the minute display at the 30, then the same problem occurs because if you start timing from the 20, the minute will change in ten seconds. This article is jus

Elves and dwarves still keep their night vision, elves don’t sleep, dwarves have a better save vs poison (IIRC). I do like how they’ve opened up the species in general. I have a character in a campaign that is essentially based on my cat, a

I think the main reason is that it kind of pigeon-holed certain races and classes. There were just objectively correct choices. In a game where there should be no "correct" choice. And it was mostly benefit, very few drawbacks. An

I don't know about elves and dwarves, but just about every race could be a human hybrid. But it came with stat hits. Half-elves were more like humans than elves, etc. And from what it seems, they're separating stats from race&#x2F

Walmart should be paying a living wage. If you are employed full time, you should not qualify. Walmart does not pay enough, they rely on the government to make up the shortfall.

High schools still teach Shakespeare and that's always been in the public domain. As is a lot of Mark Twain's works.

I would say that’s a risk for the individual models. OnlyFans provides a platform for creators to distribute content and collect payment. What content they provide is up to the creators. Which is why it became a de facto porn site in the fi

Yes, that's the way to do it. Python is fairly accepting with modules being either directories or files. Going the dir/__init__.py route also allows you to do a bit of encapsulation as you can not export things. Of course, someone

If you would call that intersex, then go for it. I'm not here to argue the semantics. These are edge cases that are fairly complicated. We're talking about a person with a uterus, vulva, vagina, etc. But without the widening of hi

All embryos start out biological female, it’s only after some time that the testosterone kicks in and differentiates males from females. If you block that process, you’d wind up with an XY female.

This is kind of bullshit. The Sandy Hook families were a part of The Onion’s bid. They were clearly ok with it. The court knows it can’t sell it back to Jones or a proxy of, but this decision also allows Jones to continue as if he hadn’t so

Although, if the evidence is damning and you don't want it found, keeping it on your person is not the worst idea. That way you know the only way they find any evidence is if they find you. Even if you try to destroy the evidence, evid

Yeah, at a place where I worked, we billed at around $150. Then there was an escalating commision based on amount billed.

by bena 2y ago
I don't think this math depends on where that time is saved. If I do all my work in 10 hours, I've earned $1500. If I do it all in 8 hours, then spend 2 hours on another project, I've earned $1500. I can't bill the hours

The definitions are one of the major sticking points. We don't have good, clear definitions of either intelligence or consciousness. They need to be generally agreeable. Include everything we accept as intelligent or conscious and excl

Until you can show me a counterexample, the null hypothesis is that intelligence requires consciousness. The two sides are not equally weighted. You need to come with something. In your original response, you stated a reason why you disagre

It may be, but to be fair, I either stream music via Pandora or listen to Podcasts. Sometimes, I'll play specific music I have on my phone. Basically, my phone has replaced every function the car stereo had. And for long trips, streami

It's a better bet that it's a requirement however. The only known examples we have of general intelligence comes with consciousness. Not to mention, he's positing that AI researchers are assuming that consciousness is unneces

It's equally easy to imagine a machine that can't be generally intelligent because it can't experience. In other words, just because you can imagine it, doesn't mean you get to treat your assumptions as fact. What we kno

Exploding kittens and their other games are also simple 1 or 2 rule games. There’s not a lot of rule depth. You couldn’t do the same with risk or kill dr lucky for instance
