I would agree if it weren't for the complete transition to privately owned communication platforms. The answer to your question is actually quite simple: because communication via privately owned walled gardens is humanity's prima

If all spaces that attract the majority of people are private and have homogenous terms of use, then free speech ends in all ways except on this technicality. Edit: removed unnecessarily inflammatory phrasing.

How does banning an individual from printing books restrict free speech? Do you think free speech didn't exist before the printing press?

We're just going to be speaking past each other, I think. GP clearly stated they lean heavily on Postgres technologies (by calling out specifics like pgvector). Stating that the applications that don't need those technologies, ind

This is saying: "just don't try to solve hard data storage problems". Not all applications are CRUD.

I agree, would be a lot more fun that way to show interesting results. I just got distracted by other projects :)

If you fancy the dopamine, I made a similar simulator with a randomize button which runs at a faster rate: https://crwi.uk/apps/three-body-problem/ It doesn't have proper collision detection, so the bodies so

Yes, though I was trying to expand the definition of malicious to include GPs own terms. Even if that never happened, the current situation is already malicious because the site erodes at the trust factor of the victim site in exchange for

Your definition of maliciousness is basically user-centric, rather than provider-centric. It is malicious from the perspective of the maintainers of N++ because it robs them of the ability to control their image for the users who find the p

Parasite Rex is an amazing book for this kind of thing.

I don't know what the equivalent of the ISS is for project estimation, but I sure as heck don't have access to it!

The problem with the shoreline paradox isn't just about resolution. It's about the unique geological features _within_ that resolution. I live near the Forth river. At a low resolution, the distance from my location to a location

In which the industry continues to miss the core issue of estimation: task complexity is the shoreline paradox. The reason people fail to communicate lateness is the same reason they make "poor" estimates to begin with. You cannot

Push back on the pentest firm and explain reasoning, rather than bubbling pointless requirements to the engineers.

Serves me right for thinking two-dimensionally!

Thermodynamically it must. High temperature will flow towards low temperature areas like a heat-sink, where it is cooled by the shade and vapour.

They do have a significant effect. Trees scoop up rain from the soil, lift it through their trunks and up into the leaves where little mouths (stomata) in the leaves deposit that water back into the air in a process called transpiration. It

Unity actually started doing this while I was working there[0], and then eventually axed it[1] as part of a broader shift towards low quality high revenue mobile development (acquiring ironSource, for example). This shift was highly demoral

My read on the utensil thing is that basically keeping the fork in the left hand feels more "rushed" and therefore less delicate/dignified. I'm from the UK and my wife is American, and when I'm over there I do notic

I always heard that your dominant arm is usually weaker, because it is reserved for fine motor operations while your non-dominant arm bears load. Consider e.g. putting keys in a door while you carry groceries, etc.

I didn't read GP as blaming servers so much as demonstrating what is effectively systemic ignorance in the restaurant industry. The inability to 100% confirm ingredients is highlighted as not only being due to servers not knowing the e

Total tangent, but I originally found Dark Souls too confusing and challenging and abandoned it. When I came back later for another try something clicked and it quickly became my favourite single player game of all time. It's funny how

It also had a high (relatively) barrier to entry, technically speaking. This limited contributors on the internet to a specific cohort of curious-minded individuals.

Absolutely. I think a lot of people misinterpret this advice like this (or actually the advice is intended this way): if you don't use an off the shelf engine you are destined to slogging away writing your own engine. When in fact it

A note from someone making a game on the side (in C, actually!): beware of over-focusing on "patterns" and books about them. Yes, there are some great ideas (such as ECS and so on), but don't get bogged down in that. Solve th
