I've read SSC for a while now, and check in with the community every so often. Before the takedown, there was talk about the reporter writing an article, with the general consensus being "nervous but optimistic". I'd lov

I don't disagree with everything in the linked post, but some of the commentary is just "make it better", which really feels like it needs more nuance. Render pipelines: URP and HDRP are the two Unity-supplied render pipeline

I'm not sure how I feel about the proposed (anti-?)feature, but in what way is this "SJW nonsense"?

That's more the meat and potatoes I was interested in reading, so I appreciate the response. I think there are probably better lenses that are equally simple (maybe Big 5/MBTI, though I know little about them), but the advantage o

You're using "wrong" to refer to the fact that the color pie was developed arbitrarily, and so can't be descriptive of humanity or people. The other poster, and the article, aren't claiming that the color pie was de

It's pretty easy to extend this further. The photons that bounce into your eyes when you look at a tree are real, but who's to say they got to your eyes by being emitted from a big ball of fusion, through the 8 minute trip to Eart

An argument that gatekeepers exist is no evidence that gatekeepers should exist.

Honestly, the negativity in the comments so far has me flummoxed. What I see is a person, in a development role, posting about how they have been made to feel inadequate or unsuitable for their role, because they don't know things that

For something to be a useful hypothesis, it must both match historical data and be good at predicting future data. Given that the signalling explanation is usually used post fact, and when used to predict is wrong as often as not (in my exp

It was a javascript-like language called UnityScript, that actually compiled to IL, and had a lot of C#/CLR features tacked on top. It was fairly unused, and kinda cursed to boot. Unity also had another language called Boo, which was f

I honestly struggle to reconcile what I read in the linked wiki article with what your comment mentions. "Systemic Bias"[1] doesn't seem to match with "reality is modified by your age, your...". One can understand a

CSIRO did something like this with their Zebedee system[0], basically a Hokuyo 2D spinning lidar on a spring on a handheld stick. I love this from a design perspective, because it's very usage focused. You already have a human walking

What would framing it as a "leak" do for Tesla, vs just doing those videos/tests as a branded marketing stunt? I'm not sure what the obfuscation gets Tesla. Like, oh no, we didn't intend you guys to see our truck be

That may or may not be true, but it's definitely not the responsibility of any individual LGBT+ individual to try change someone's mind. Especially when said person will likely have a pretty bad time while interacting with someone

While not directly what the OP/GP mentioned, sometimes it's worth noting that, if a person suffers from some symptom, they'll probably benefit from advice to (a group of) people who suffer said symptom. This is true regardles

Progress does not mean "Commercial success". Your bet is like hearing "my kid seems to be making lots of progress on their bike", and responding with "I bet he'll never cycle around the world in 18 years".

It is worth noting that a lot of the psychological studies that this book references have failed to reproduce. I don't have a list on me (and haven't read the book!), but I know that there was more than one. Likely still worth rea

The old joke is something along the lines of: Q: What do you call the person who graduated last in their class in medical school? A: Doctor. Sure, I'd probably prefer the higher performing doctor in this hypothetical scenario, but at t

They're looking at targeting WASM+webGL for the editor itself, so I'd say pretty good: https://godotengine.org/article/godot-engine-awarded-50000-m...

If everything links to everything, that's an n^2 problem (and hard to coordinate actors to do). If everything just links to one service, that's n or 2n at most. Also, I can write the name of any twitter account in my HN profile. I
