I was half expecting this to have gyro controls so you could look like a madman while "arm looking". Really neat, in any case.

Yeah, I agree with this. Building an actually “wholesome”, “positive” and “opposite of divisive” social media would be an enormous good. The problem is that no one has a good reason to believe it can be done because it has not yet been. At

Heck no. I actually looked up to him before he started going downhill in the last few years. I thought, “Maybe I would work for SpaceX for a few year as long as I had a plan to get out.” I knew it would be hard but possibly rewarding enough

For what it's worth, you can do similar to "add -p" in VSC by using "Next Change" to scroll through a file in the diff view and adding hunks with individually with "Stage Selected Ranges". It's a litt

An apothecary is a person -- or an establishment where such a person works -- not a garden. Odd use of the word.

Considering how early that decision was made in the timeline of electric vehicles (how early we still even are) — getting saddled with a backwards compatibility kludge kind of sucks.

I don't think most of the issues mentioned are mitigated by AWS, sadly.

RAID isn’t cool anymore. Maybe ZFS.

I respectfully disagree. I think VR is about in the same place experience-wise. PSVR has Beat Saber. And the social experiences (I'm assuming you mean VRChat and such) are... just fine, in my opinion? And I definitely have long-dista

You really should have had a physical filter. They’re cheap and easy to install.

Mmmhm. Go look in the docs for std::span and see how long it takes to find "The behavior is undefined if idx is out of range" or similar. For example: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/span

Title is inaccurate: "There has been no activity on your Heroku account in the past year."

Thinking of countries as singular, cohesive entities might be over simplified in this case.

Considering all the Russian energy execs dying mysteriously and Putin being a KGB guy, Putin pulling something like this to make the him the only option and making “the only way out is through” for this invasion… doesn’t seem impossible. Ma

What about "strategic" means not taking a reasonable route to the goal (keeping the price down?) Is there some sort of "branding" for strategic reserve I haven't heard of? Wikipedia seems vague enough[1] to not be c

I think good engineers (critical thinkers + goal-oriented problem solvers) usually give up and find a better tool (i.e. without an blockchain) for the job after not too long. There is similarly no shortage of “architecture astronauts,” and

It’s a little (a lot) frustrating that people are so sloppy with their thoughts (and by relation speech) on this subject. It wouldn’t take that long for people to read up on what section 230 actually is before saying “publisher” like that m

I’ve never seen that nag. Do you share an account/use your account from multiple locations or something such that they would detect that?

I’d say they need to make a product people want. Look at Fortnite, Minecraft. The closest things to successful metaverses that exist. They’re both things that people actually want to use. Who’s going to want use a blank slate platform fro

The belief that more rational beliefs are possible is not exactly debatable, is it? Certainly, the “woo” stuff you referenced is not the only alternative? That people have to believe in some “religion” and that common “religions” at the cur

Oh please don’t buy an Alienware. Those plastic monstrosities with non-standard (disposable/non-replaceable) components, bad cooling, etc. By all means, buy a pre-built computer, but at least look around a bit.

I can believe as a one-to-one comparison, cooling an office is more efficient. But people aren't turning off their home AC when they go into the office. If you figure that a majority of people won't even schedule their thermostat

Thank you for the detailed reply! Random thoughts: I personally would not mind requiring Protobuf payloads so the proxy portion can stay dumb — keeping proxies up to date sounds no fun. Losing inspectability (not having JSON) is a minus but

It looks like the Connect protocol supports client streaming, which gRPC-Web doesn’t, but the only way for a server to speak connect-web is to write it in Go and use their libraries? What about servers in other languages? Are there any plan
