I’ve always felt the same way. What’s the point of winning in a game? Why are some people so obsessed with that kind of competition? The rules are artificial, it’s somebody else’s box. You’re mostly just training yourself to accept external

These are the same people who are staunchly opposed to regulating emissions in any way. So in a way it’s great that they’ve been convinced to buy zero-emissions vehicles by giving them a reactionary edgelord option that’s just like every ot

”I don’t recall seeing Atari specifically market the Mega ST to developers, but I suspect a lot of developers found the better keyboard and extra RAM to be worth the upgrade.” There wasn’t such a thing as a general developer market. When

An explosion has a center. I'm not a cosmologist, but my understanding is that the universe expands everywhere and at a rate that's in fact accelerating rather than slowing down.

Thanks, that must be it. It makes sense as a very simple way to generate fixed 32-bit keys from words.

I vaguely recall there was an early-1980s microcomputer Forth that only supported 3-letter identifiers. You could use longer variable names if you wanted, but the parser just silently truncated them, so "TYPE" and "TYPOGRAPHY

For CRTs, the diagonal measurement was of the physical tube. The actual viewable area was smaller. Part of the tube’s edges were covered by plastic, and there was always also some margin that wasn’t used for picture so it was just black. It

It’s not trivial to produce a Lottie file in After Effects. 95% of the app’s features are off limits, so it’s practically impossible to take an existing AE project and convert it. Instead you have to ask an artist to author a project from s

Feels like living in the future. Progress marches on faster than ever. Honestly a brilliant marketing move by the French revolutionaries, just a few hundred years too early.

If that were the case, Musk absolutely would have shared the details of who this person was, why they hate freedom so much, how they got radicalized by the woke mind virus, etc. Instead we got a vague euphemism.

I’d very much like to read about Blade, but seems like they have literally no documentation in text format, not even a basic introduction. Every link on the GitHub page goes to YouTube. Project authors, please don’t do this. It’s impossible

Isn’t it more likely it was someone within the company you worked for? They would have access to site-specific info like how easy it is to get access to that server room to open the windows. The old saying is “opportunity makes the thief.”

Does X have code review policies? That seems like the kind of pseudo-socialist red tape that blocks 100x engineers from getting things done.

For an AI to be maximally truth-seeking, you need the right kind of patriots to be maximally truth-guiding. Goebbels never saw a digital computer but would immediately understand.

Maybe they came into money in 1976: somebody got an inheritance, they recruited a whale, etc. That would explain why they suddenly became reclusive: the leader doesn’t want the people with the money exposed to the outside world.

It certainly was called HDR when those Cineon files were processed in a linear light workflow. And film was the only capture source available that could provide sufficient dynamic range, so IMO that makes it “HDR”. But I agree that the term

That’s a strange claim because the first digital HDR capture devices were film scanners (for example the Cineon equipment used by the motion picture industry in the 1990s). Film provided a higher dynamic range than digital sensors, and prof

Ideally in the abstract it could be just that, but in practice it's an umbrella name for many different techniques that provide some aspect of that goal.

Exactly. Modest inflation is good because it encourages investment. Japan suffered fifteen years of deflation starting in the early 1990s. It wasn’t an economy anyone should envy.

In his time around the end of the 19th century, Leo XIII was known as the “Social Pope” and “Pope of the Workers”. He wasn’t a radical but opened the door to modern thinking in the church. Presumably there’s some symbolism to why the new po
