Fantastic release notes. Perhaps some of this is too introductory for seasoned game/engine developers, but as someone who doesn't live in those worlds regularly i found this struck an excellent balance between discussing changes a

By "wrong reasons" i am referring to the intentions of those new users. Say your users are predominantly seeking long-term relationships, and your branding supports that. Then a bunch of men, fueled by gender-ratio marketing, floo

For the reason you describe we consciously chose to never talk publicly about gender ratios. Having predominately female users (or even close to 50/50 actives) tends to attract people for the wrong reasons.

On our app we were about 60% women to 40% men. Nonbinary made up a small enough % to round to zero. DAU/MAU were roughly the same, though you might see seasonal swings toward one or another.

I’m more surprised that 80%+ of generals feel they need to work after their discharge. The presumption that employing former generals impacts the military spending budgets is, if true, a failure of the legislature and the budgetary councils

I have much of what you describe: 3 listening environments between near field computer speaker setup, reasonably high end home stereo and dac/amp with high end iems. I have tried multiple times to discern flac vs 320 mp3 across genres.

Are they? This article focuses on the temperature delta from 2022-2023, not our impact collectively. The thesis is that human (in)action can't explain the severity of the delta over a single year. The eruption appears to fill in the

What a wonderful response to return to. Appreciate the work you put into this.

In N. Stephenson's Seveneves, a major plot point was that sufficient falling debris can superheat the atmosphere. Granted, we've orbited a trivial fraction of the Moon's mass, but have we orbited enough material to cause any

"Irreversible" feels like an overstatement for a planet that has documented swings in both its temp and atmospheric composition. I'd agree the timescales of changing warming trends is certainly slower than birth rates, though

I had the same thought. There is a a lot of value to be created with moves like this, but it is risky and does not have a long shelf life. Not necessarily a bad business play, but should be expected to be a short-lived one either way.

This is a great concept that feels like it's about 80% there. Some suggestions if the author is here/reading: 1. I badly want the ability to rotate pieces. Perhaps it's too strong to have this universally, but maybe i get 1-3

I'm a hard disagree here as a dev. The timing is too slow for me (i'd half or third the delay) and perhaps lower the transition duration a hair. But the effect itself was quite nice and gave me a strong sense of polish and quality

While i enjoyed the article, the title and opening sentence really deserve credit for being genuinely fun to read.

Flash was excellent for making buttons grow/shrink. So much so that many sites had flash-based navs driving static html pages in the top row of their table layouts. Flash had its share of footguns in terms of code organization, but ani

This strikes me as a fair impression, as someone who doesn't really have a horse in this race. The job of moderators is ostensibly to foster communication and limit abuse within their subreddits. While i understand the motive of these

Is the hesitance for social norm/style reasons? Similarly, i wouldn't wear it at a coffee shop. But i could see it coming into style at co-working spaces. It feels like a no brainer in hotel rooms and airbnb's.

I only need to name 1 for myself: i travel a lot and work from a laptop often. AVP feels like an obvious choice for development if it delivers on the vision (heh). Working without a dedicated desk space, laptop stand, separate monitor, etc,

The younger people (< 45) in CO are largely transplants. Many moved because of the outdoor life, pot legalization and because they visit friends and enjoy the culture. I think that younger influence plays a big role offsetting the tradit

I view this less as circular logic and more as a bell-curve. At the extremes, bragging and bravado likely come with limited to negative results. But identifying that there is a region of optimal show-offy-ness seems expected. As for the mar

I'm starting to expect that the first consciousness in AI will be something humanity is completely unaware of, in the same way that a medical patient with limited brain activity and no motor/visual response is considered comatose,
