Is this the limitations of Cruise or the limitations of driverless cars? Sure sounds like the former to me. Waymo is in my city and tbh I'd rather be near one of those than a human driver, from my experiences so far.

There's a limit to how far up and down it's comfortable to look for long periods of time. That limit, in most desk setups, is pretty much the height of the top of a landscape monitor. Once you reach that you might as well just hav

It has to be aged correctly to be safe.

That is one player's choice, but not even close to a majority one. Chess and Go and Checkers competitions have not disappeared after humans stopped being the best players of them.

Yeah, I think this kind of procedure is basically for "you're stuck in the wild, and if you don't find something to eat soonish, you're dead anyway". So it's inherently risky, not sure there _is_ a non-risky wa

Figuring that out in a safe way is likely not easy. In survival conditions, the process is messy, painful and dangerous. If you don't have a strong need, I'd think you'd happily wait for the next person to figure it out.

Why is it a bit much? It seems just plain descriptive to me, and calls back to the obvious parallel of the photoelectric effect.

True, but in classical magic you should hide that fact as much as possible. They're intentionally drawing attention to it, if only over time (and you could still miss it if you're not thinking about it, so maybe I shouldn't u

I'm not OP, but there's a few rules being broken there that I can think of: - At the end of the trick, there's a reveal that wraps things up. In the case of escapes, it would be showing the magician safe and not actually drow

It's typically a lot easier to recover from the loss of one of those than all of them at once.

That's the translation, yeah. They're a very important tool in physics for exploring the consequences of known or hypothsized physical principles.

Woops, thanks. Not sure how I missed that.

It really just means that that's the component that's limiting performance, not that there's necessarily any way to fix the bottleneck by upgrading.

There's always poor quality reviews. I'm just talking about from my own personal experience of playing Skyward and TotK both pretty soon after each came out, it was easy to tell which would age better. > From the outside, I can

Edit: the following is wrong, sorry about that. Interestingly, the C++ standard doesn't specify a cost for this, or an implementation. So there could be some C++ implementation out there somewhere that just copies the whole string on e

Huh, I did not know that seaweed aren't plants. Interesting. (For anyone else curious, short story is they're basically multicelular algae)

There's objectively little to complain about in TotK, there's no realistic reason for it to age poorly. It's a perfected version of botw, which itself was a great game, and then they added a lot of new functionality and gimmi

If the new ones are doing PWM (I hadn't heard that's how it works, but have no reason to doubt it), it must be cycling several times per second. It's indistinguishable from having true control over the wattage. The old cyclin

Fair. VS Code has worked for me very well, but I'm sure experiences vary.

If nothing else, WSL is part of windows now, so it's trivial to get that set up and hard to argue against most places. You still get stuck with your UI being largely windows, but the guts all being over on linux is enough for me person

The US government barely survived an incompetent carnival barker, let's not give the founders too much credit. The system they set up has far too much ambiguity and survives only as long as honorable people are in the correct places at

That comes with a bonus ability to easily calculate a position of any particular digit sequence too. Nice.

> Snow Crash - No memory, I might have blocked it out? The Snow Crash ending is IMO fine. Nothing amazing, but it wraps things up okay. It's just kind of typical action story beat-the-clock type thing, so it's not as memorable
