I'd call them a stubborn player. A human can't normally predict out 100 moves of optimal play, so that's why it is jockeying instead of being part of an intricate plan. I mean, it does bring the question, do you play a game f

Quelle surprise, a big tech company making a big tech company move to drive users into their embattled flagship. I take this as a negative indicator of how things are going for Facebook. I don’t see any synergy with oculus other than that b

Well, except the value isn't zero to you, even if you don't use it. It allows a lot of basic government and corporate things to happen (taxes, payroll, sending of legal documents). And it sets a baseline price for mail and package

You want to kill someone but you can’t because that’s like totally illegal so you just hire a hitman and now it’s just a business expense.

Unfortunately a lot of online recipes and cookbooks are for people looking to make something different and special, not looking for an everyday meal. Being a home cook (as opposed to being a chef) is actually a lot like programming. Learn

The default should be opting out of these things. I paid hundreds of dollars for the operating system and word processing suite, why do they need to extract more money, and why do i have to opt out of a huge company creeping on me.

In 1995 individuals would crank out doom WADs and marathon maps like it was nothing. 2.5D was a sweet spot for ease of making something. As a tween with no artistic skill and the family computer I could make maps and mods and texture stuff.

This is a huge fuck-up on Robinhood's part, they should have never given him that sort of leverage. Any relatively new investor trading options is also a huge mistake, it is surprising he was approved for an account where he can even u

This is just a fundamental misunderstanding of what concurrency is. I do not see why it requires a benchmark. Concurrency is many things at once. That's it. Async frameworks end up with better concurrency properties because you're

Are you saying that the economy isn’t just a complicated game that we play to distribute wealth and it had a merit beyond its utility to those playing it? It seems we should rethink the game if it falls over every few years and fails to ser

Right, but we don’t want that. How can we avoid that?

Exactly, that’s why I suggested suspending capitalism, but in which case what do you replace it with? We could of course just give everyone what they would have made, based on last year’s tax returns or whatever, of course this has its ow

This is an interesting analogy because the roadrunner just runs without looking and everything works out fine. Wile E. Coyote only has problems because he is aware of what a huge mistake he’s made. I don’t know what the behavior analogous t

yes, excepting that many have trouble with the compilers class. if you get through it and do well you're probably fine.

Nah, that’s not true. Something like Common Lisp (AOT compiled, btw) you can write without types and then add them in later to bump performance by facilitating unboxing and removal of inline type checks. It is a tradeoff because you lose so

I also feel a lot of the ‘missing out on the great party in 3,000 years’ effect. I want to see what happens when we travel the stars, for example. But I won’t be around to miss out, so potentially I should feel nothing more than what I feel

I am a fairly depressing person when it comes down to it. Perhaps those things you’re saying could happen, but they don’t seem likely given history. The rich get richer and compound interest compounds. Maybe it will turn our financial syste

I seem to have struck a nerve. The ‘heat death argument’ is not about 100 years vs. a billion years, it is about the inevitability of things. Even if you live a very very long time it will still not be forever, and we all have to make peace

You ask a valid question. Not wanting to die is fine, I think more importantly, not wanting to age and gradually become a burden towards end of life is also natural. Not wanting to be lost and missed (nevertheless hoping that you've do

How have you been measuring your cognitive decline? I have much shifted priorities from when I was in my 20s and was never that smart to begin with, so I’m note sure how I would even start to measure it.

Seems like part of it would be to ensure that you will always be training new pilots. If you have a lot of 'comfortable' pilots, you have less need to do the training, so when you fight a war and start losing pilots, you have less

Lockdown is entirely about trying desperately to not overwhelm the healthcare system. Do not confuse it with eradication of the virus. If the healthcare system gets overwhelmed you end up with a much higher mortality rate and secondary deat

Yucca mountain is the wrong solution. We can reprocess nuclear fuel waste easily already, reducing this issue by quite a lot. As a policy issue the United States does not, so you end up with much more “spent fuel” than necessary. Radioactiv

Chernobyl is not the gold standard for comparison, it was a completely different design (far more dangerous, honestly) from the BWR/PWRs that were built everywhere else.

The relief valve worked perfectly, as they said, there was no steam explosion. Unfortunately too much of the steam was released and the reactor melted.
