There's something I'm just not getting with Prusa's justification. With open hardware, anyone can take your designs and run with them. Not just Chinese companies with zero regard for IP law. There is no IP to have regard for.

That's fair, but your post might have been more prescriptive than you intended. Your wording insinuates that New York doesn't actually have a problem with incomes relative to cost of living because most people make up for that thr

I find it hard to believe that the amount of tax fraud in NY is enough to throw this figure off. Even if what you're describing is true, it would hardly be "the actual problem" here.

I think the idea of being able to develop both kinds of games with one (mostly) shared skillset has a ton of appeal. Not to mention the assumption that games are either 2D or 3D is not always correct.

Isn't there a better way to do this? Rate limiting, splicing ads into the audio signal for non-paying users, providing a stable API for paying users only, etc. Beats siccing your lawyers on hapless geeks.

I don't think you're wrong, but it's worth mentioning that you can't outlook-change your way out of having executive dysfunction. Recognizing the problem is the first step, but getting help comes soon after.

There is a very strong chance that you are sick with depression. Consulting a health care professional should be your first priority, in my opinion. If you can't find treatment where you currently live, then it could be a good idea to

That's actually a good point. I made assumptions about the meaning of the term `null` that can't be true in every language that uses it. There are some exceptions to the behaviour you describe, like for instance with C# which for

I'm talking about the fact that nullable types do not on their own guarantee null safety and that these two things are not equivalent.

I am supposing that the further back in time you go, the more likely it is that simplicity and performance would influence language and compiler design. As opposed to developer experience. I think this can be supported by the fact that thes

Which can still lead to unrecoverable runtime errors, that could otherwise be compilation errors.

Null safety means you can't dereference a null pointer. Therefore something like `T | null` is not possible, because `null` doesn't exist. What you'd have instead is an Option or Maybe type and a compiler that requires exhaus

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like hubris. If Tony Hoare hadn't made that design choice then somebody else somewhere would have. I think the sentiment behind the quote and its widespread use is correct however. It defin

In theory, I don't see any reason not to. In practice, it depends on a million things.

It seems more accurate to say that the business model is contingent on a number of breakthroughs that may never occur. It's not hard to see how the development of a more (and, let's say, sufficiently) economical process would retr

I'm personally surprised that with so much of the workforce gone, and internal operations being total bedlam, the only thing that went down were 2FA emails. Someone at Twitter knew what they were doing. Let's hope they didn't

I love the idea that neutral means "status quo" and not the absence of bias, which is far from being the status quo in most cases.

Mastodon and ActivityPub in general have UX issues. I can't imagine trying to explain to non-technical users why they have to open a pop-up window to another website just to be able to follow someone, or why people keep changing handle
