How would it know which direction to move in if the position of the goal was not part of the input to whatever control algorithm they're using? The part of the code that detects the overlap of the cursor and the goal should be complete

Exactly, glasses are an even better example. They give you superior vision compared to what you would have naturally so almost everyone who needs them puts up with wearing them and they have even become a fashion trend in themselves by bein

Someone who wants to rent it out for a profit. Someone who wants to redevelop it as a business. The value of real estate would probably take a big hit with a tax hike like the one proposed as owners move to liquidate so there would be a glu

I don't think that would work in the long run either. If it becomes expensive to own a lot of land due to taxes then the simple solution is to not own land and it's easy to implement as there is no requirement to hold land as an a

Think of it like a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors. Instead of entrusting their savings to a company, people are entrusting them with their personal information. If there is gross negligence on part of the company leading to tha

Counter point. We must learn how to responsibly manage extremely dangerous materials and technologies. It is the only way we can avoid inevitable extinction at our own hands as technology advances. Atomic weapons are no longer the only ex

Not really, we're trying to do some important math to figure out how to balance a carbon budget. We need to know what options are on the table and how much each of them contribute. It's the same as balancing a household budget, yo

The wikipedia page you link to clearly shows that enteric fermentation accounts for 16% vs Coal and Oil at 19%. There is also another 36% anthropogenically produced methane in that chart so I think that easily accounts for the 3x increase w

That always confused me about the Olympic Games. I guess it makes sense if you think about it as an opportunity for pork stuffed building contracts. It would make more sense for each country to have 1 or maybe 2 locations that are reused wh

I think most people, myself included, that dislike verbose type systems aren't opposed to type checking itself. We're just not overjoyed at learning and using a meta-programming language to do it. The argument tends to center arou

U.S. law does provide interesting examples of the intersection of positive and negative liberty, I don't personally agree with all of the decisions and some of the examples listed on that page are much, much more nuanced than they appe

After taking a quick look at existing visual scripting tools[0], it seems like the main feature differentiating this from the others is that the nodes are code modules instead of primitives. I think this is where visual programming can real

I think it has other uses, being able to attach visualizations to data processing code is very helpful especially if it's simple to just drop in something like a histogram. It would be even nicer to have a way to scrub through the proc

Every time you modify a file in git you're actually creating a new file. Committing every keystroke would create a massive number of files that only differed by a single character. If you wanted to have a history of changes that can be

Not so sure about this, I think it depends on how frequently you have to do that task. If you're doing it every day or even every week you could potentially be saving a huge amount of time and effort by using a tool that does the job w
