   I'm interested in what you think my main point was.

   I don't believe I used the term "real art" and if you re-read my comment you'll find I have a more nuanced view of commercial/non-commercial art. Pixar isn't tackling anything controversial because they want to

   I did not intend to turn this into a discussion on real art—there's certainly plenty of people who produce amazing work without training—but you're fooling yourself if you think art school has no value to artists. There is so mu

   I was not arguing that you can't self teach, simply that art school is far, far, far more useful if you realize their value is not in technical instruction. "Aesthetics" is a precise term. Yes, there are places on the interne

   I don't think there is a definition! But if you think you are an artist, you should push for self-expression. If someone else is dictating your craft, you're the tool, not the artist. I also have full faith that you can make art a

   Heh, they certainly kept to the standard USB length even if by default the keyboard is going to have difficult reaching the computer....

   Sure, but if you're interested in JUST painting, your professors would be well advised to give you the above advice. You don't learn to paint to feed yourself.

   I'd imagine that the useful things art school could give you would be art history, aesthetics, color theory, and criticism. Being proficient in graphics doesn't mean you are an artist. Commercial work is certainly far removed from

   It's definitely not just esports. I've noticed more people in their twenties are getting into football (soccer) and x-games style alternative sports. I don't see the domination of NFL, NBA, and MLB continuing for many future

    Does it matter? Motives are often inscrutable. The code was merged regardless. The point of the article to my reading was to ask for better standards, not necessarily to sensationalize.

    This is also something visible to white hats: a "good guy" could easily warn people who are a vulnerability to the wider health of the internet. Of course there's zero money in this, so I guess capitalists are up the river.

    I have never gotten the impression the "Think Different" campaign claimed the depicted people would use the laptop; rather, that Apple's innovation is analogously innovative to... whoever. These are cultural allusions, not sp

    You know, pong is a LOT like tennis. Certainly more than most other ball games. Perhaps your specialized knowledge makes you more critical than necessary? Neural networks certainly work analogously to brain structures, and certainly at the

    You might call this bias of similar scales: things that happen within our attention must have similarly brief explanations.

    There are plenty of existing laptops that can outperform a MacBook Pro ALREADY. Meanwhile, Microsoft is innovating. Apple replaced their laptop lineup; there are no new products, and for my job the lineup is virtually the same. Hell, the la

    What is an iPhone headset? How does it differ from other headsets? Edit: thank you. Does that mean the female lightning connector would only be used for headphones? Yeah, talk about vendor lockin and connector deprecation.

    I showed up in SF last year to find airbnb had ads criticizing local tax laws all around town. Disgusting. They are the heart and soul of why SF sucks to live in. Not terribly smart use of money, either, compared to growing markets where th

    I don't think I've ever seen a complicated OS based on SeL4, and it is the opposite of complicated itself. I don't think SeL4 means much for macOS/iOS.
