Right, but the actual benefit comes from having the REPL and the debugger in the same place. Plus the chrome REPL is fantastic, so suggesting I just use a different one is sorta like saying "you can just use your phone" when my de

This is news to me, as far as I know it'll error out when it reads TS on the REPL. How do you enable this?

Fair, I should have been more clear when I said "interpreter" what I really meant is "the chrome debugger" which is one of JS/Node's absolute killer features. I believe support there is on it's way, though

The whole nuclear power situation is a total clownshow. Here in California we've regulated nuclear out of existence and we're replacing it with natural gas in an effort to save the environment/children. Truly as fucking stupi

sigh JS is imperfect but it doesn't just make everything it touches slow. I would be very surprised if in Discord for example any JS was blocking between you pressing a key and the key appearing in your text box. In fact I took the t

Not OP but I do tend to avoid TS. I don't like the additional friction of working with the language (transpiling, unable to copy/paste directly into an interpreter). I also feel like the community at large writes awful baroque cod

I don't disagree with you in general and I find the lack of focus on latency very frustrating (though the proliferation of 120hz screens seems to indicate that there's hope) But with regard to the Dan Luu post I've tried to r

I'm not saying: By whatever means necessary we should enforce flatness of power. Hierarchies are unavoidable and useful. I'm more making the argument that cultural disgust at concentration of power, and a general erring on the sid

A few things here. If you're the sort of person who runs a crypto mine, which I assume many of the people interested in breaking hashes are you have enough firepower at your disposal to at least perform a targeted attack on a few hashe

I can imagine a society that doesn't value privacy functioning much better than ours if the lack of privacy is somehow thoroughly universalized. Secrets allow for concentration of power, something we should avoid. That being said I&#x2

Don't worry, that problem will solve itself with time. Just let the lowpass in your ears grow a bit. ;) I will say I have been very impressed with Anker's GaN power bricks of late.

I wish that were true! I'd love to know how to do that one too since back in Windows 7 Foobar2k was able to wake my PC from sleep and play my music as an alarm, and this functionality has not worked for me since then.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No hibernation, yes admin, yes elevated prompt, nada. Disabling devices has never worked for me either, again I'm legitimately surprised that these things have ever worked for anyone since it's never had any effect

I have NEVER in my life ever gotten a useful output from `powercfg.exe /lastwake`. I'm honestly surprised to hear someone mention it as working, I thought it was the sort of thing that was just copypasted on clickfarming tech-help

Imagine if we had the technology to, when a laptop was in a hibernated or off state to use some sort of a mechanism to physically disconnect the battery. I know this is absolutely crazy but it seems to me that this would solve these problem

No because they are actually providing value without strings attached, obviously an artist needs tools to perform their art.

You're wildin my dude. Every thing you listed exists to leech value from creatives by selling an extremely peaky reward distribution as linear. But especially NFTs holy heck, that's entirely a vehicle for money laundring and specu

I feel like we could go a long way toward this through individual choice. You can just y'know, refuse to help ruining our planet. I bet for most people on this forum that's absolutely a practical choice but the money is too good t

That's horrifying on such a deep level. There should be mandatory civil service for programmers, but you just get sent somewhere cold and you gotta write scene demos and motion control software for a year to get your head on straight.

This person is giving advice from the PoV of an individual comfortable with playing zero sum or even negative sum games as long as they are able to continue winning. Don't be like this, don't corrode the commons for personal gain.

True! I meant shortcut in a more sapiocentric way, i.e. "These are the top 3 things you can quickly google and implement for a big realism gain for low effort cost."

Don't be daunted, it just takes time. You'll get faster at it with practice, but the first step is simply brute force, or at least it was for me. Take a picture of something simple, recreate it in 3D with exacting detail. When som

It's profitable to do so. If I had to point a finger it is because individuals (and companies, made up of individuals) do not take responsibility for their part in supporting institutions that corrode the commons for personal gain. If

It's so mind boggling to me that we're okay with this level of uncertainty about the systems we rely on every day. I run LTSC with updates disabled because the idea that something that's working one day would stop working the

I very much want to use matrix over discord so I went and did a cursory check of all the desktop clients listed on the matrix website (again). It's unclear to me that any of the implement voice rooms at all? Am I missing something?

The UX of just being able to naturally sit idling in a voice chat and have friends drop in at will is the point of discord and it's done very well. This user interaction being a first-class citizen is a big deal. Maybe alien to some pe
