hard disagree. the majority of the channels I love the most have become full time jobs.

not sure what your point is. let's assume it's true. That still means the ads are paying for YouTube to host the videos. Without that those channels would have to pay for hosting themselves and could not afford to make the content

I'm pretty confident that without advertising, the majority of YouTube channels people love most would not exist. maybe overall that would be a good thing as there's so much trash too

I am curious too. I'm not "obese" by the medical defs (84kg, 177cm, 50s) but I could eat forever and constantly and I find that every time I finish some small amount of work (need to switch to the next issue) I get up and wal

it's arguably harder to make an extension system when you can't write your own broswer and you'd have no way to distribute them either because the platform dictator doesn't allow it https://support.mozilla.org

This is all true but tons of the industry functions on FMOD, Havok, RadTools, and many other proprietary dependencies.

For me it's explained by (1) less shopping because I order online (2) more entertainment/distraction from online stuff (movies, youtube, tech news, anime, streamers, ....) (3) less office friends IMO partly because WFH. It's

Maybe I have different visual perception than you but playing Super Metroid or Zelda: A Link to the Past, in a emulator with crisp square pixels looks nothing like it did on a CRT. There are tons of articles on the difference. Here's t

No Man's Sky Astroneer, Enshrouded are not voxel games AFAICT. Of those, I've only played No Man's Sky, which I agree at some level is similar to Minecraft in gameplay

I'm not sure of your definition of objective here. If you mean a specific implementation and exact version of a specific language does one objective thing that might be true. But, different implementations of the same language and diff

Neat game but why is it so slow? It runs smooth at the start but whenever I get near some enemies, as soon as 1 or 2 explosions happen it runs at like 10fps or less. I'm on an M1 Mac which can run some pretty high end games. I tried Sa

I see the opposite. Conversations that used to happen in ear reach so I'd know what was going on with various team members and be able to contribute when I knew a solution are now conversation that happen in private chat or private VC.

Users are not Chrome's customers. Even if Chrome is separated into a separate company that would still be true. Users are unlikely to pay for a browser when every OS comes with a free one. Some companies that want to be the default sea

objects are unlikely to jump from one side the screen to the other so comparing them to stuff on the other side of the screen seems like a waste (which is what a generic sort will do).

by nox101 2y ago
A long time ago I did something similar but rather than sorting I just kept index lists for each direction and the objects sorted themselves. Meaning like there are 4 lists `objectIndicesSortedByLeftEdge/RightEdge/TopEdge/Bot
