Damn, Microsoft really needs someone who cares to run Windows. Feels like they haven’t had that since 7. Seems like every change for the last 10+ years has just been to take high quality existing applications and replace them with modern ju

As a kid I always lamented that every studio seemed to sell out as soon as they had the chance. Valve is basically the only one that didn’t… clearly it’s paid off very well for Gabe and the employees. Wish more people would resist the payda

It’s funny that you get (or got) pushback for basically doing extra work. If you were to just take a break and do nothing at all, people would just assume you were hard at work on the main issue.

If I ever buy a newer car, first thing I plan to do is find and remove or disconnect the modem.

I think it would be better if Reddit took more ownership. In other words, instead of hosting a platform where anyone can claim a subreddit as their little domain, and then it’s theirs forever, Reddit could say that the subreddits belong to

If you had to guess, do you think that SWTOR would have released in the way it did had BioWare been an independent company? (Notably, incomplete and in many ways an uninteresting WoW clone.)

I’ve been thinking about this recently… maybe a more workable solution at the moment is to run a hierarchy of agents, with the top level one maintaining the general mental model (and not filling its context with anything much more than “nex

Switched to Firefox as soon as Chrome disabled UBO. Unfortunately I found that after a day or so of Firefox being open, if I have more than a few YouTube tabs open, the YouTube interface begins to lag. I had read that the issue had been fix

Conspicuously missing from this is any discussion of clawbacks or repurchase rights, which can be a big deal. Sadly most people do not seem to be too familiar with these, but they should as they are quite common and very dangerous to employ

“All of these women told me that they had been detained for time spans ranging from a few weeks to 10 months.” Is this an error or was some of this going on during the previous administration?

What’s still totally unclear to me is how much money Intel has actually received. If they got all of the 7.9 B, then I would assume it doesn’t matter to them if the act is cancelled? But it’s not clear to me how much has actually been paid

Generals was one of our favorite LAN games. It seemed that as time went on this problem got worse and worse somehow, to the point where we gave up trying to play it at all. I have fresh hope again that this might one day be fixed!

I ended up switching back from Firefox to Chrome after a few weeks because I found that if I had more than about 6 YouTube tabs opened, the YouTube interface would become very laggy. I blamed it on Firefox at the time but maybe it was some

Very sad, but Anandtech has been on a downslope since Anand left. Once that happened it seemed like they almost instantly went from publishing many times a week to only occasionally pushing out content, usually quite delayed. The quality wa

Twitch has already been morphing into Chaturbate and the change last week doubled down there. I don’t think a website with a large audience of children should have been brushing up against pornography. I don’t even know what was going on wi

I recall reading a comment by an ex cart person where they described how the best part of their day was fetching the carts from all over the lot because they got to be outside. So for some, they’d prefer you didn’t put your cart back.

I just went to set up a screen time passcode after reading the article… you are limited to a four digit code. It does limit the number of attempts you can make, but I can’t believe a four digit code is all that’s standing in the way of tota

Great to see a campaign like this being rolled out to the public. Wish there were orgs in the US that could spend this kind of money.

Have you written a functional language before professionally? If not, I’d lean towards Elixir as a way to expand. Can always go back to Python later.

The UK is a good demonstration of why the US constitution is important. They have substantially weaker rights to freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. Of course the United States has tri

I’ve stopped drinking for periods in my life before. (I was a moderate drinker at 7-14 drinks per week.) What I’ve found is that for me, it’s primarily just a habit that needs to be broken. That’s the main reason for the regularity of my d

Something interesting I learned recently is that the debt load carried by the US is not anything special (when considered as a percentage of GDP) compared with other countries. (e.g. most of Europe is actually worse off, China isn’t far beh
