So then, by this logic, once you've worked for NSO Group or the like, there's no way back for you. How then, can someone reform or "see the light"? Is someone once tainted, always tainted? Or do they have to do 10 years

I think a lot of people in the community recommend Base game -> Krastorio -> Krastorio+SE. I've done the first two, and I'm quite early into SE. Just an incredible amount of complexity and I'm loving it.

Personally I feel like while the generative AI bit makes for a good headline, the better summary is buried later in the article: > Nvidia also announced its commitment to offer accelerated computing and a comprehensive suite of AI softwa

That may be true in the US but it's not everywhere, and it certainly won't be for long. Anyway, for many, the competition is "nothing at all". I will never download the official Reddit app. It's that bad. The mobi

Oh yeah, these are basically my job. I have a few ways: 1. Set a time budget and be willing to walk away if I'm not making progress. Sometimes "yep, sucks, but is what it is" is the answer. 2. If it looks impossible, be more

I didn't realise it was written by an LLM but it did come off as weird to me because it borrows phrases (most obviously the bit about a "2070 released 5 years ago") from the press release itself.

Reddit continues to forget what made them successful: the collapse of Digg when they pulled the same shit that Reddit keeps trying on now. I don't think they quite understand the ground they're losing to Discord.

I'm with you. I stopped watching not because of the visuals (which I hated - I immediately got eyestrain - but I can appreciate others might like them), but because I reached the point in the video where I wanted to know how much lon

(Late response, sorry) These are great tips! I've had issues with weak / under-activated glute medius for years, but I didn't think about that causing the shin splints. I'll give the 170 stride a minute tip a try. Thanks

I get shin splits on grass, artificial turf, unpaved tracks and treadmills. I've had it looked at by a podiatrist, and he recommended stretches for my tibialis anterior. I do them before I play sport and they generally work if I'm

To add detail onto my reply to your other comment then: these things are the things I hate about exercising outside! The sun is too hot, the wind is too cold. The puddles are a twisted ankle just waiting to happen. I don't want peopl

100% with you on the anxiety and procrastination. The anxiety for me was driven in part by "people can see me suck at this", so I put the machine in my home office - with a door. As for buying a machine, I highly recommend going t

Snowflake employee here, not speaking on behalf of the company. Short version is that you would think so, but it doesn't work that way for at least two reasons. 1. If we weren't investing in product optimization, but our competito
