I agree with your argument of expected societal shift, but it's important to keep in mind that this is largely a developed country issue. It'll be a while before child-staffed cobalt mines or whatever is superseded. A significant

Agree, my comment is rather about the fact that most work you do in school and (lower) university is not itself of interest, rather the purpose is to work out your brain. The more of your exercise you leave to the forklift, the steeper the

If you ever basta in winter, try bringing ice into the sauna. Smearing yourself with ice while in the heat is really nice :)

Touchdesigner, VVVV, (Notch?) too. The big benefit here (besides dataflow programming working better for more pipeline-like programs) is that it's always runtime. This is a pretty big selling point for design where quick iteration and

I mean, it’s another tool. It doesn’t really make an entirely new kind of web app possible, but it’s useful for some specific compute-heavy tasks (with limitations like JS<->WASM being slow). It’s also useful for running not-JS in the

A lot of the suggestions do actually sound pretty good at a quick glance, but have far-reaching consequences that are not instantly obvious if you don't know your tech/security/privacy or otherwise value a specific topic high

For teaching, it depends a lot on what you’re trying to teach. In some courses I’m involved in we’re intentionally using old, limited, obtuse or otherwise just strange tools and equipment for the sake of practicing debugging, reading specs

I’d like to recommend vvvv. It’s a node-based version of C# that is always runtime. The edit-compile-run loop is eliminated so you can tweak both constants and behaviour instantly. For a processing-like drawing interface I’d recommend the b

I think there's some controversy regarding that programs are limited in what extent they can access each other. You need sudo to do global hotkeys/keylogging, probably accessing pixel contents of other apps, etc. I suppose they me

I mean, a lot of it is. Green user, signed up 49mins ago, 5 comments, which erodes trust in real people as well. I’ve noticed I’ve just felt less engaged and more anxious about all kinds of online content. While most platforms were previous

I think we’ll see a return to smaller groups and implementing a lot of systems the way we do it IRL. I think you could definitely do a more fine-grained system that progressively adds less score to contacts the further away they are. In com

Haven’t used the engine specifically, but seems to be a cool project. I have used the Stride renderer which is embedded in VVVV, a live multimedia node-based language, which makes it interesting that you can extract and reuse such large com

Besides the visual design, I've been thinking about the tech part of it. There's so many bits shifting, morphing and having state, that it sounds antithetical to what a UI is supposed to be: a consistent and unnoticeable tool to i

I think that might be a step too far, rather I'd guess the US just knows the Russian systems very well. The success of the latest campaign against Iran shows that too, and if anything they learnt even more from that. Either way, althou

Any details/sources on this? I thought it was strange that the airspace seemed almost entirely uncontested. Scrambling fighters take a while of course (particularly if unmaintained and you're corrupt), but I had at least expected

I think the main problem is people using the tool badly and not producing concise material. If what they produced was really lean and correct it'd be great, but you grow a bit tired when you have to expend time reviewing and parsing lo

Indeed, there's almost always a solution to "inergonomics" in Rust, but most are there to provide a guarantee or express an assumption to increase the chance that your code will do what's intended. While that safety can

I like to put it as all the damage we're causing is just taking out a huge loan, and either we repay it on our own terms or mother nature is going to debt collect for us...

Humanity really is misled. The production of cosmetics, which I believe is not particularly vital to anyone’s survival, could be cut by ~20% and we could manufacture the vaccine with no change in the amount of fishing of sharks. What is def
