With air travel, and most kinds of tourism, and customer service, and actually with most commodified experiences, the affordability and mass availability is the thing that makes the experience subjectively worse. It's the other people.

The trick is to do 88 columns, punch them out on a roll, and run it through a player piano.

>> The most clever lines of code are the ones you don’t write. Just to add, I think there are three things that LLMs don't address here, but maybe it's because they're not being asked the broader questions: 1. What are

Good programmers working hand in glove with good companies do much more than this. We question the business logic itself and suggest non-technical, operational solutions to user issues before we take a hammer to the code. Also, as someone e

Here's a pessimistic view: A hard take-off at this point might be entirely possible, but it would be like a small country with nuclear weapons launching an attack on a much more developed country without them. E.g. North Korea attackin

idk if it counts as an obvious hazard, but being able to modify the original input by reference within a chain of piped functions definitely makes it a lot harder to reason about what that sequence might be doing. Particularly since we assu

HaXe is great fun as a language, and I would definitely consider it now if I were writing a new game from scratch. But I never found anything to be a straightforward port from as3. There was too much unsupported particularly in networking.

I've conscientiously ignored every attempt by every service in the past decade to bully me into giving up a phone number for 2FA. Authenicator apps and passkeys, fine. But never over SMS.

I wish I could write all the business logic I write on an NES and never have to worry about requirements going bad. I guess the thing is, if you're writing anything on top of a network layer of any kind, eventually it's going to r

Agree, the ... syntax feels confusing when each fn($x) in the example uses $x as the name of its argument. My initial instinct would be to write like this: `$result = $arr |> fn($arr) => array_column($arr, 'tags') &#x2

Hah. Neat. I love projects like this just for fun. For my old (2010-era) Bitcoin casino, I wrote a slot machine based on a Rubik's cube. When you would "spin" the slot, the cube would reset to a perfect position and then scra

I took it to be about plastics. Maybe the fact that different people can take different meanings from it makes it a better story than if they just said it was about one specific thing.

carelessly thrown about accusations of whataboutism and strawmaning are an excellent example of whataboutism and strawmaning. I was making a specific point, directly to the topic, without either putting words in their mouth or addressing an

I remember having to redo all the art for a game because Apple's store rejected it. Six months. It would have been more fun with the original art. I'm sure there's many an indie dev in the same position who'd love a gray

Yes, about 90%. I would have had maybe the 6th or 7th biggest online casino in the world - let's say that my software was about 5th (somewhere between Galewind and Microgaming) - but I ended up being one which catered only to early ado

It's not nonsense. I've hosted, moderated and managed sites that were only obliquely related to porn or gambling, and you wouldn't believe the level of rejection for running ads or getting payment processing that they are fac

Yeah, the environmental impact of jackasses mining jackass coin, or jackasses training LLMs is not insignificant. Are you seriously telling me now that if my website is 256k or 1024k I'm responsible for destroying the planet? Take it o

I guess so. I haven't spent that much time checking out the darker corners of it. I wonder what their situation is with the credit card companies.

I guess that would be the logical thing to do. There's probably some synergy at work. If these games could be widely promoted, maybe their average value to Valve would be $10k each or something. Instead, they probably net 1/10th o

I'm not sure about that. Late stage capitalism would involve the government bailing out credit card companies if there were fraud. I kind of prefer for them to deal with it themselves. And whether they deal with fraud themselves or t

Yes, and it's been tried before. LibertyCoin, I think. Write a Steam knockoff platform that's trustworthy enough for people to download, and load it up with dirty games. Put the premium on the customers if they want to use credit

They don't need to make an argument for anything. They tell Valve: "Hey, if 1% of your transactions are for smut and incur smut-level-chargebacks, we're going to just treat all your transactions as smut", and Valve says,

I wouldn't scoff at the leftovers. You're talking about maybe a trillion dollar industry that struggles to find payment solutions. This is why I gave up on credit card processing for my startup casino in 2010 and just went to taki

My guess is it's simply a chargeback risk. It's the reason casinos and adult sites have trouble getting credit card processing and are charged much higher basic rates, even under the best of circumstances when the casino or adult

`.then()` is ugly, `await` is pretty, but wouldn't the critical part to guarantee commutivity less than guaranteed order (in js) be the `Promise.all([])` part?
