Shaking up the current situation doesn't seem to be an entirely bad thing. As it stands, the majority of the internet is depending/residing on datacenters provided by a handful of companies. I'm not sure that's a good th

I'm talking out of my ass here, but it doesn't sound like you are trying to rewrite it, but rather refactor it in place. This often takes much longer than a proper rewrite in my experience.

Sorry if this a stupid question, but in the event of mass collisions a la Kessler, wouldn't some percentage of the debris get stuck in higher orbits? The kinetic force of collisions at those speeds seems pretty significant.

How did you manage to get a race angle into this? And which "designs" and "covenants" are you talking about?

Who cares about Norway though. What about India, China, Brazil etc.? Are they mainly going to scrap their old functional ICE cars and buy brand new, fresh smelling EVs?

I can imagine. It feels like these transformable living solutions require you to adopt an ultra-minimalist approach to everything. Can't have a stray plant or fuzzy carpet. You have to obey the intricacies of the furniture. In some sit

I'm currently exploring and using Godot and I'm super impressed by it. It's a fantastic piece of work in many regards. Why would you want to sidestep the entire editor ecosystem and introduce a JS dependency to your game? Do

Wow, that's a sobering read, thanks! It's funny to see how some of the common gripes with modern "flat" design was so obvious even before it became mainstream. Even though it (in my opinion) looks better today, the skeum

A "static site" typically means to have the site being generated through a build step such that you can serve it straight from a CDN or simple file server. It doesn't say anything about the content included and it's &quo

Isn't this caused by a general oversimplification of autism to mean "difficulty handling social situations"? I feel that autism is being thrown around as a description of this specific, limited set of traits that do not align

That makes a lot of sense too! I guess the sweet spot is where you'd find the persistent seasonal flues. Mild enough for people to be reckless, but virulent enough to cause sufficient spread.

I have a lot of sympathy. The situation sucks, and some have it worse than others. Expats and people with important relationships in other countries have it especially bad. I understand that. I have expat friends that have had a really roug

What kind of life do you lead where mask mandates and moderate restrictions means two years of it is completely wasted. I understand freedoms being trampled and whatnot, but saying "they stole two years" seems pretty dramatic.

The milder it gets, the less noticeable it is. As it gets less noticeable, the chance of exposure to new hosts increases. Seems reasonable.

Or quit and find a workplace with a level of bureaucracy that you are comfortable with. Surely that's an option as well?

What do you mean with "securing your place within the system of being successful"? Just keeping your job? Or are you talking about abandoning other goals than monetary success? I'd say that getting a win/win is more than

Of course you should try to adapt to a new workplace and its processes. I can't understand how you'd have a different opinion. Coming in as an outsider and trying to lead some sort of office revolution is sure to backfire. The OP&

The juxtaposition of the Ursa Major and Onyx/Vega patches almost gave me whiplash. Judging by the list of patches it seems like NRO is a fun place to work. Thanks for sharing!

You'd have a (weak) case if the GP had been talking about westerners in general. They were referring to the extensive exploitation of Africa by western powers. By your logic any criticism against any world event or fact would be xenoph

I don't think this geopolitical perspective constitutes xenophobia. Do you really?

Interesting! I find the whole gig space fascinating. I wonder how much of it relies on exploitation of regulatory latency. My guess is that these actors has such momentum and platform advantage that even if all talked-about regulation were

This is super impressive and a huge leap toward photo realism. The draw distance and content streaming using nanite is nuts. Next I want to see what kind of tech demo they can make run smoothly on a mobile device at 120Hz. I.e. does the tec

I/O is used frequently in tech as an acronym for Input/Output. I suppose that's why it's popular for techy stuff like SaaS providers and such. It's also a moon of Jupiter which adds to the nerdgasm.

Destructuring only really makes sense for simple struct-like data structures. If you are worrying about prototypes you are destructuring the wrong things. Duplicating class instances is almost always something that you'll need to do ma

I love me some forEach methods! It's still one off from completely avoiding the loop-think though. A syntax like "apples.'peel()" (where peel is a method on the individual apples) is what I imagine. As a PS, I think the

Well, the argument is about expressing intent, so I guess we agree.

Are you talking about the pseudo code or the readable sentences? I hope my point comes across even if there's some linguistic nuance I'm missing.

Admittedly it's a worst case scenario, but the broader point still holds even with a foreach. You are still picking out each item individually instead of operating on the collection which is what you intend to do. You write "do th

That's an awkward way to speak. "Take each of my gizmos, then put it in the gizmo box" for gizmo in gizmos: gizmo.put_in_box() vs "Put all my gizmos in the gizmo box" gizmos.'put_in_box()

I think the idea is that a loop in many cases doesn't express your intent. What you might want to do is to "set the property 'foo' to 'bar' on all items in an array". What you might write is "create a
