Flavored cigarettes were deemed to be too attractive to children (probably right, considering the Juul craze). Adults of any color are allowed to partake in self-destructive habits.

Man, I hope so. I really think this makes Twitter more toxic than Facebook ever was. Somehow the vocal minority on Twitter getting riled up about something always gets treated as "real news".

I'm still mad about Vine, it had such a cool community of creators. I was shocked when they shut it down.

Same with a lot of neighborhoods in NYC, even trendy ones like Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Always research what your building is built on top of before you sign the lease.

Psyllium husk (Metamucil is the most common brand name) is the most impactful for me.

I have this as well. The gloom and doom kicks in about a day or two before the symptoms do. I take a strict regimen of fiber and probiotics to keep it at bay.

This reeks. There are a lot of good, honest, hardworking people out there without Bachelor's degrees.

This is exactly why we need free speech. It's a pragmatic position. Of course I would like to live in a world where people don't spew vitriol. But for the reasons you outline that cannot happen except in an authoritarian society.

No, the PRC is a model of a digitally-forward authoritarian regime and we should be shocked that a Western Democracy is behaving similarly.

Hooks have made my life simpler. HoCs were a nightmare and I'm glad to be rid of them.

Ah yes, I often forget that the JavaScript ecosystem invented versions. We really should have taken a page from literally every other programming framework that has never had these problems.

I really want to know what Twitch is like from the inside. I cannot think of another creator platform that's so inconsistent and/or spurious with their bans.

Yes -- Dune. It is the starting point and best book in the series. The next three books in the series are also very, very good.

Yeah, I have a strong dislike for DS2. It's not even that bad a game, I would probably enjoy if it didn't have the Dark Souls facade. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro are three of my all time favorites. So far feeling favorable

Thanks for the rec. I'm only familiar with it because it was referenced in Dead Cells.

Most likely the Art Book, they put one out for each game.

For my part I don't enjoy games where the gameplay is just something you do to experience a story. Last of Us is a good example. Great story, great atmosphere, bored to tears playing it. If Dark Souls were easy I would probably feel th

I think the fear is that one day the FromSoft suits will demand they start making their games easier so they can sell more. A fear that's pretty reasonable: they've already made one or two Elden Ring bosses easier with patches.

There really is, but I would also proffer that the difficulty is a little important because it makes you afraid of the world and makes your achievements meaningful. A tour of Lordran wouldn't be as enjoyable. That said, I think this is

This has always been the best part of FromSoft games. People talk about the difficulty first but I think that absolutely takes a backseat to the visuals. The art direction and atmosphere are absolutely unparalleled. I honestly can't th

Because they "hook" into the component lifecycle. Which is why I'm not sure I understand your complaint... hooks are meaningless outside of a component because there's no lifecycle to hook in to. If you have plain-old-ja

My music is still streaming on speakers in the other room but I can't log in to pause it. Really annoying.

Yeah, count me out. This is the world we used to live in when all we had was jQuery. It was miserable and no medium blog will ever convince me to pine for those days.

What would be the point of implementing BSL in Java? You'd still have to teach the basics of object oriented programming and all the details of Java's implementation... unless you abstract all that away to the point were you aren&

Fair point although I feel like Racket deserves credit for the way it builds upon itself. By design it allows you to have the Student Languages that are each iterations upon the previous, and all are valid Racket programs. As a counter-exam

There's been a number of lawsuits stemming around the Amber Alert system [1][2][3]. It's very plausible that they could find someone to sue for failing to issue an emergency alert. Not sure if they would win but it could encourage

I was thinking about this today when I was interrupted mid-conversation by an emergency weather alert on my phone. The cause? A snow flurry that was expected to last about an hour. It ended up lasting for about half that. Now, it's Ne

I recently quit coffee after maybe 15 years. The biggest change I noticed was that on nights I didn't sleep well I would wake up with bad brain fog. That doesn't happen anymore since quitting. I still don't sleep great some n
