Time to spin up the ole SC2k again. I haven't played Minecraft in VR yet, and this seems like a really good reason to try it out now. I would definitely love to see more things like this that spin old games/software into new exper

I spent a lot of time in SimCopter as a teenager. It was always fun to get to explore the cities I had spent so much time curating in SC2k.

I surmise that a significant percentage of communication issues in the workplace are of this type. It's not always 'clear communication' vs 'unclear communication,' but 'communication style I'm familiar wi

1. Peter Norvig's Design of Computer Programs course on Udacity probably singlehandedly changed my perspective on thinking and modeling software solutions to problems. https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-compu

This has been promised for a long time, but from my perspective, I don't really see this getting any closer to reality. But for what it's worth, I think there's a conflict of interest here. No one is going to believe that Ama

There was some belief, I think, that there was an app space for voice apps, similar to mobile. I don't think that's necessarily true, and despite Alexa focusing on making it relatively easy for developers to create their own VUI a

Not only an NDA - many companies also require you to sign anti-disparagement clauses, meaning you can have severance clawed back if you speak negatively of the company.

Personal email, obviously. Never discuss anything of this nature on any communication medium that is owned by your employer. There's a reason "Direct Message" labeling overtook "Private Message" in chat apps.

I see nothing on this site that indicates this theme is intended to be used for public websites (excepting the one on which it is demonstrated). Quite the opposite, actually. Reading the copy it seems pretty clear that this is intended to b

Not to be snarky, but there is a clear answer to the question posed at the top of the page: "Why is everyone in such a rush?" No one likes being poor. The issue isn't about how long it takes to get good, but how long it takes

Whether this is the case or not, the same is true of most of the internet. I don't understand why people would be surprised by this.

This is so counterintuitive for folks. Anecdotally, you can find a lot of stories out there from folks with ADHD who will tell you that their medication calmed their brain for the first time. It could be compared to a sensory deprivation ex

It's such a cool concept. I hope they figure out how to handle these issues. There is a lot of potential for bots of this kind, in a lot of different contexts, assuming they can work out how to navigate the early days of UGC (AIGC?) co

Thank you for explaining the interaction that makes this work. I was very confused for a bit trying to understand how mixing a cough suppressant with an anti-depressant would change the chemistry to the extent highlighted in the study.

It's hard to separate "I think your definition of literature is wrong" and "I think your application of that definition is wrong."

Really fun little piece. More emacs posts should read like this. Clear communication about goals, the functions involved, the code you actually wrote and how that translates to the motions used to execute what you want. Too many emacs posts

This is really interesting. What do you mean by 'equalizing commitment'?

Adobe did not buy Figma at a 50x multiple because it thinks Figma is worth that much. It bought the company at 50x because it was a number Figma's board couldn't say no to, and removes their stiffest competition in a quarter centu

The vast majority of people do not get equity as part of their compensation. So, yes, there are cases when this information is inaccurate or incomplete, but for most people, this type of data can artificially cap your earning ability.

I literally had to C-f to find TikTok. I've found several artists there that I really enjoy. If you like music, I would be surprised if your FYP didn't surface artists to you on a pretty regular basis. eta: Granted. Once I find th

I would argue that rather than 'supporting many websites' Chromium has actually warped web development around its own goals. This is one of the effects that really turns me off of it. Google has pushed to make Chrome the OS of the

When you say 'clone Youtube's functionality' do you just mean host and play videos? That's a pretty narrow definition, and one that I don't think YouTube deserves to have a monopoly on.

That's a pretty big assumption that offering this service would not result in these users also spending more time on other, non-education related content on YouTube that is monetized. There are also other ways to monetize the product.

I like the premise of the post. I think it paints a rather overly idealistic view of social networks, who exist to make money first, not to create value (if they could make money without creating value, they certainly would do that).

It's pretty telling from the replies to this post that people just want to find any excuse they can to pretend the VC boys club doesn't exist. There are obviously some confounding factors, particularly if the batch of idea-only fo

Some people could disagree on a topic and go about their day. That isn't true for everyone. One person's disagreement is another person's human rights. A lot of people prefer the comfort of ignorance to the discomfort of that

I don't think this is true. I think a lot of people were insulated from information that created a perception for them that those disagreements didn't exist. A lot of people are surprised to find out that people who don't liv

> right sorts of connections to common-sense reality Unfortunately, I think this matters less than it should. Connection to common-sense reality does not seem to be a prerequisite for most people who engage with content on the internet.
