That doesn't really follow, because it seems that people were and are wanting black holes to be something else that they are both not observed to be and not described by any theory of them. Also, I think it gets lost in physics that th

Why do others need to be able to use the tool? By the way, Figma has powerful live collaboration features.

by bmitc 2y ago
Why does it matter? How does designers using a tool affect anybody? Are you familiar with Figma? It's ubiquitous and awesome. And, as if developers use a non-plethora of non-esoteric, non-outdated tooling.

That's exactly it. These corporations are leeches on society.

After having bought Pis and then sold them all, I've never understood them. The Pico and Pi Zero seem to have a place, but the performance of the big Pi is so bad, it's rather pointless as an "embedded" computer or gener

I think it's just the wrong implied use of calm. There's no way her body was in a calm state. It's just that adrenaline adjusts the bodies resources, which could create a feeling of mental calm. But describing this as a sense

Issues as in deficiencies or excess of hormones or neurotransmitters. I guess I am wondering what the mechanisms of risk seeking are.

Honestly, motorcycling at track days is pretty adrenaline inducing (I've never personally done it) but decently safe if the track staff take it seriously and you do too.

For me personally, I just have so little want to do anything like that. If it goes wrong, you go splat, and there's very little you can do about it. Is that the way you want to go, just jumping out of something? I mean, even getting in

I sort of doubt that she was actually feeling calm. Adrenaline could potentially create such a feeling because of the mental concentration coming from it, but it's extremely hard to believe a novice parachuter, who seemed to make sever

I agree. Completely ridiculous. > The facial recognition start-up doesn’t have the funds to settle a class-action lawsuit Too bad! All these corporations keep throwing excuses like this. Can I do that even for something as simple as a li

Well, however bad it was, it has gotten really bad lately. I just close out of videos and YouTube now, which I guess is good. Luckily, more of the niche content and small-time channels (the sort of videos that made YouTube nice back in the

I'd pay for something if they actually cared about the product. They don't, so I don't. Instead, they're just bullying me and others to pay them. YouTube doesn't make any of the content, and they don't care abo

Yea, I've been looking into what to do. I'm tired of subscription fees for one, although Spotify has remained sane. But I absolutely refuse to pay trillion dollar corporations more money, who already steal my data, just to get rid

I've noticed that since the beginning of this year, YouTube has gotten very aggressive with ads, including more and more ads and multiple unskippable ads. And then they treat you like an idiot with a little popup that says "What

You can ask hammers, cars, and saws questions, and they can respond with complete confidence with information that may or may not be correct, which they have no way of knowing whether it's correct, and presented as if they are human? T

It still bothers me that they used a very specific person's name as the name of their AI. It is in poor taste.

Read the original comment I replied to. It's relevant because they mentioned Windows, macOS, and Linux but swear not to use Windows. And people often blindly bash Windows and Microsoft when macOS and Apple are 10x worse, which was my m

Right. Becuase Apple has never, gasp, done anything anti-competitive or shot down open standards.

Agreed. 100% or 200% scaling only is unusable for almost all modern monitors at their top resolution.

I don't know Lua, but anyone saying Python's packaging and module story is convenient gives me pause.

Rust's ecosystem is also very sporadic. It seems everyone jumped on board in the gold rush (and still do), reinvent the wheel in some package to lay claim, and then abandon it when its 70% there once they get bored and/or realize

Do you know if Lua supports type annotations or gradual typing? I use those heavily when using dynamically typed languages.
