I'm not worried about it, and I don't plan to give up. Becoming an amateur art historian has greatly enriched my day-to-day life and given me much inspiration in my own creative output. As a multi-disciplinary artist I feel called

The sad thing about this is all of the "less than perfect" artists whose content gets swept up in the storm. Hopefully the rise of the Long Tail will combat this to some degree, but we will have to redefine our concepts of fame an

It's undeniable that the pace of creation of masterpieces has quickened dramatically at an unprecedented level. It's an entirely new age of creativity that is unlike anything before it and that will continue for millennia. We&#x27

Yes, we live in the age of Inclusion by Exclusion. It's maddeningly cognitively dissonant and the Overton Window appears to have split in half, with extremists on either end ripping logical, neutral people to shreds over not picking a

This is a major factor of the "Ratings Problem" where only 4- and 5-star ratings signify quality which people commonly overlook. [0] I'm only interested in critically acclaimed non-fiction books because anything less and I&#x

Too bad Starforge was abandoned. The multiplayer gameplay promised to be quite revolutionary but they never cleaned things up. You can build and you have to protect your base while others gather building supplies, and launch offensive strik

Lol no... it was based on an earlier mod by the same developer.

I 100% agree that F2P was the key ingredient in this case and that's why Epic Games made the right call while PUBG Corporation is struggling to control bleed-out from almost two years of failed promises to fix some fundamental issues

Fortnite wasn't the first 100+ player battle royale game by a long shot, so it's not unprecedented. I love Epic Games but they definitely jacked the entire concept from PUBG and others.

You're not understanding. Wood chippers don't have "strengths" compared to other objects. It's a wood chipper, you can only meaningfully compare it with other wood chippers. Some are better than others. Why? Because

Mine do no such thing. The only whitespace that gets stripped in /any/ editors I have are trailing whitespace and extra whitespace before the EOF, and that's only in certain IDEs where I have consciously enabled these options

That's simply wrong. In order to make an educated purchase, you need to know the weaknesses as well as the strengths. Reading 1- or 2-star reviews is unlikely to uncover all of the strengths of a product. Comparing products solely ba

It’s also a good idea to read some of the lowest-rated reviews first, to see what the main complaints about the book are, and whether they would put you off reading it. This goes for basically anything you purchase online. Read a couple h

100% agree when dealing with non-fiction. It shows a lack of respect for the book as an art form or information resource. It shows the author is writing for exposure and money and not to produce something of true value. > it works for fi

We don't blame the knife when someone stabs another. Spotify is just another player in this diseased game. They are part of the problem, not a symptom of it. This is coming from someone who has followed and evangelized Spotify since th

Care to elaborate? Your statement is hollow on its own. How does your editor destroy information? What kind of information is destroyed? Why is your editor rearranging bits in validly encoded text files?

In my opinion no one should be using Notepad for programming work or configurations that are more than 1-2 dozen lines. Nano is about the same: It's a text editor with no inherent tooling for configuration files and syntax support. A

Javascript is a scripting language without native module support. That isn't Webpack's fault. Webpack also handles much, much more than just Javascript. It handles CSS, HTML, images, files, pretty much any kind of asset. Java&#x2F

Everything is hard when you don't have editor support and good diagnostics. Don't blame YAML because you prefer to use Notepad.exe However, missing/extra whitespace is not "hard". You would be docked points in an En

What's magic about webpack? The online documentation provides quite a lot of insight into how it all fits together. It probably only seems like magic because you didn't build a fundamental understanding of how it works before usin

That's a good question. setInterval definitely also has its strengths and weaknesses, but it does beat rAF() here in that you can guarantee at least one frame will be ran every X milliseconds. With regards to Javascript physics engines
