Is it not likely that people are more motivated to collaborate, talk about their work, plan together, feel a sense of excitement about work, etc. when they are communing in person? The ol watercooler mindset or whatever. I mean - there’s th

Plausible deniability dried up as the blatantly skewed results of this “conflict” became impossible to ignore.

To a lurker scanning this thread, this comes off as “I’m more interested in semantics and winning an argument than condemning abusive and antisocial behavior.”

This, and there’s something all-too human about ignoring or even basking in the suffering of others, including children. Pretending it’s somehow less than human to be on that side of things feels a bit head-in-sand.

Having played both of these games I agree that Lorelei stands out as a sort of foil for blue prince. And my opinion is that that is a huge endorsement of blue prince. Lorelei’s puzzles felt so inelegant and largely detached from the ideas b

I guess to me that seems worse because that’d effectively double the number of off-hours accountability per teammate. Not only do you need to be first on call for your primary hours, therefore severely restricting the quality of your “free

I don’t see how this changes the problem where there is an expected guarantee of a rapid response except that now two people are expected to be available and would now need to directly coordinate in order to ensure one person’s going for a

And socialized medicine solves many of the employment-dependent privatized medicine problems! Funny world.

To add to this, I think the stress of wanting to be great, or maybe profitable in a certain realm, can stop people from anything like practice on a regular, consistent basis. They’ll maybe read, watch tutorials, engage in social media, chat

Sam Hyde and his canceled adult swim show World Peace seem to stand out in my mind in that it feels hard to call it “very” politically fringe these days (which is a scary thought from plenty of reasonable perspectives). He’s pretty hugely p

Some public schools in very wealthy counties will teach some basic quantum mechanics in honors/AP classes, too. All you have to do is acquire parents that can afford the shittiest neighborhood in those districts!

Is hacker news not social media? Or do you find that it works as a form of social media that is “good” whereas all these other forms you’ve abandoned are “bad?” If it’s a simple matter like that, what ideas could other social media take fro

This seems most likely, I guess? A username without a password would suit for leaving a trace?

The article captures the loneliness epidemic well but it made me a little sad that it just moves directly into how businesses and politicians can benefit from it. Could the loneliness that people feel even be satiated by the kinds of relati

This conversation got me looking into the Godoy asset library, where I found a number of examples that wound up being very helpful. There are a few 2d platformer examples made by the Godoy team that emphasize just how many options there are

I appreciate your response! This is basically how I have managed to finish small games in the past. Only issue is much of my intention on finishing those small projects was to find the 'right' way forward, when that clearly isn&

Man maybe I should have started with unity but I’m such a fucking hipster I just never go with the popular thing. Ultimately happy I don’t have to worry about the licensing BS and I still get to claim hipsterdom, but it’s clashing with my

I’ve been trying to learn godot for years and I’m not doing so hot. This chatter feels very relevant to my struggles but I’m not the best with software design, so what do I know? I was in a tizzy the other day and spammed my thoughts out ab

Quite a few subreddits have flairs applied automatically to comments that show “top 10/5/1% commenter” and by and large commenters who are in the thick of the conversation have those flairs.

Not recommended for a first timer!! I played with some friends, made it to the ragnarok fight, thought, “hmm does that lava kill you on touch or only do fast damage over time?” Asked friends and they all said they remembered it being fast d

So, let bots controlled by mega tech corps and vicious governments brainwash these people, rather than other ignorant humans who don’t, at least not by definition, have ulterior motives?

Everyone thinks they’re a genius that can solve every problem and no one wants to sell books better. More realistically, everyone knows the best you can get with your own little thing is bought out. That is not enough for many smart people’

Outside of a direct connection into the brain, doesn’t it seem a bit unlikely that we ever discover some sort of psychological method of achieving significantly better attention grabbing for individuals or (harder yet) groups than what we’v
