Decriminalization is akin to a parking ticket, it's still illegal, but is not a criminal offense. It literally is what the word means, not a "spin word". Both things serve very different purposes.

Meanwhile, Portugal has decriminalized possession in small quantities for all drugs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_liberalization#Portugal ) with great results. Criminalizing addicts is not helping anyone. Throwing

It's not just negative angles but any deviation at all, really. Your wrists are not supposed to be sitting at a static angle all day long, and having physical pressure from the desk/laptop on the underlying nerves and ligaments is

Honestly? RSI is always a risk. People don't have the same propensity to experiencing it though. I'm late 20s and it already started destroying my wrists, fixing my positioning relieved (most of) the pain.

I used to say that too until I started experiencing RSI. I eliminated 95% of the pain just by fixing my typing ergonomics. YMMV ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Moscow theater attack had 850 hostages in a wide-open area, guarded by 40 CRI terrorists. The gas pumped into the building was also rather violent, some Fentanyl derivative IIRC. That's not even remotely comparable.

"Serverless" is just "server as a service". Horrible misnomer indeed.

There are things like nexe[1] and pkg[2] but the resulting executables end up pretty bloated (30+ MBs for a simple hello world, cause they all end up bundling Node in some way with every executable). nexe doesn't support native Node mo

The new Food Guide doesn't really discriminate by food groups apart from "eat fruits and veggies" and does away with daily portions per food type. What are the similarities you see?

Ergonomically speaking, you should not be resting your wrists down when typing or using the touchpad. Your wrists and palms are supposed to be aligned and hovering over the keyboard.

There are definitely great indie games out there - Binding of Isaac is excellent, Pillars of Eternity (I & II) are what a modern Baldur's Gate would feel like - yes, Obsidian was bought by Microsoft but that's after the releas

I never said the whole lot is garbage. But a huge portion of them are at best passable or forgettable. Average time played is not a good metric because people on both extremes will skew it heavily, like any average - people who bought the g

Same goes for music and movies, or pretty much any form of entertainment.

I massively enjoyed ME3. I've already bought other EA games at launch without regretting my decision. BF4 is an example.

Games definitely are my thing. It's actually why I feel confident in saying a whole lot of them are terrible. Average play time doesn't mean much in terms of actual game quality and value for your money. I've played games jus

by folkrav 8y ago
If we're only talking averages, the average game isn't a very good value either - a whole lot of them suck bad and are, even at a discounted rate, a total waste of money. I'm still not really sold on this argument.

I'm a huge Mass Effect fan. I played Mass Effect: Andromeda for about 30h at launch. For a CAD$80 game, that wasn't a good investment. I also love System of a Down. Probably paid sub-$100 for their discography. Must have hundreds

The article read more like a rant of "I PERSONALLY HATE THIS" than a well-reasoned argument of why the language might actually suck. Here's an example : > PyPy, PyPi, NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, PyGtk, Pyglet, PyGame... (Yes, tho
