Not related to games, but the stuff in this book is pretty informative, albeit disturbing. I listened to the audio book a couple years ago. https://www.nirandfar.com/hooked/

Fun. But I don’t feel it’s entirely accurate. I don’t mind typing with a delay as I can watch my keyboard, but clicking on moving objects with a variable delay is quite dreadful.

Well no.. because I’m in California currently. But, yeah we have civilization in Montana. Also, the place in question is small enough that you can get to know a double digit percentage of the population within 30 mins driving distance if yo

Airlines price discriminate their support. If you fly first class frequently, you will get much better service than if you always choose the cheapest tickets.

Hey! I’m from the Flathead valley (Yellowbay & Kalispell). We should get coffee when I’m back in town.

Cool! Here’s a couple thoughts I have, forgive me if you already have these in mind. Feedback and Controls: I’ve found that feedback suddenly made a lot more sense and seemed less mysterious once I understood the math behind it. This is the

What is your goal with improving the cnc machine? I’ve used a capacitive distance sensor to measure vibrations in the micrometers and nanometers. At that scale things get unintuitive pretty quickly. I doubt your motors and linear tables wil

Just graduated college: Even if we could afford to, most of us helped each other move. But you have to value social connections, they don’t come naturally.

Better yet. Stack your phones in a pile on the table and don’t look at them the entire game.

How do I find your practice IRL? It’s hard to find people that don’t just recommend surgery because the system wants them to.

I don’t watch much tv, but when I do I see a lot of car advertisements that feature a car on some winding country road. Which, while nice, most of us spend the time in our car in traffic/commuting. So I’d view it more of a change of ou

Food is fungible, if I don’t eat this food then I eat that food. Etc. In terms of my time, I can get a better return on investment spending 10 minutes working or socializing or cleaning than saving 80¢ worth of leftovers.

Percentages matter more than absolute amounts. I probably throw away 10-20% of what I buy. I suspect factories and you are better than that.

I’ve been lucky to get 2Mbps at places I lived in the last couple years. 100 would be lucky for me.

To picture the manufacturing capabilities of the US: Image trying to bake a cake, except all the ingredients come with a 8 week lead time and the people with the mixer, measuring cups and ovens are all 200 miles minimum away from each other

You can generally sue for anything you feel like. However if the press demonstrates that they followed reasonable journalistic practices and weren’t blatantly lying, they’d be fine.

I’ve worked on $100k devices that are used for research. I believe there’s a good future for this type of work. Most of what makes those devices expensive is the R&D that goes into them, not the production costs.

I’m normally pretty in support of free speech. But this here is pretty straightforward, the person put a large object in a commonly used path. If I did a similar thing at a local school, library or gun manufacturer, I probably would face si

It’s not even that. I’ve seen plenty of people who are very good at critical thinking have views that to me seem nonsensical.

Most closed platforms do a subset of what you mention: I can only put so many posts on my Facebook before they stop making it to all my friends. If I pay more for higher ranking it’s labeled an advertisement. However, creating rules transit

I’ve lived in touristy areas all my life. The phenomenon of locals being disinterested in the tourists is not a new one and existed long before social media. Mysteriously they don’t seem to mind the money from those same tourists (or live o

For me, these are non trivial to replace on Linux or windows: 3 years of randomly generated passwords conveniently stored, a purchased movie collection on iTunes, tab syncing between phone and laptop, touchId login, and probably most import

AMP pages enclose the page you visit within the html of google. So from the browsers perspective it is styling a box, not a scrolling body of text. iOS has similar weird behavior in Safari, and it’s pretty annoying.
