We can already end all life on earth, that’s nothing new. Transmissible vaccines are also nothing new, the original small pox vaccine did that. I don’t understand where this new fear is coming from?

I really hope that something like this might help save some lives in the COVID hotspots from lack of oxygen. The boast about this being the only article using AC is bugging me a bit though, because the AC is being fed through a bridge recti

For me, agile (in the scrum/standup sense that you mean) is a huge red flag because it’s used as a cover for micromanagers. The kind of low-trust environment that needs micromanaging might sometimes be warranted if the team is unfit bu

This does look like a very good first chair if you’re just starting out. After getting something like this, the next one we should all try is a stool or drafting chair. It puts your legs at a better angle for blood to flow right or somethin

I’m still struggling with that! My take so far is that either Business Insider doesn’t understand crypto yet, or, they do and just thought it was funny too?

It was the original Battlefield that really drove this point home for me. If everyone can get at least one kill per death, your team will win. So if there is a war, there can’t ever be more than a 50/50 chance of me making it home aliv

All of these things hit for me but it’s really that last sentence that I was trying to focus on. Being able to feel this kind of addiction taking hold and switching gears is very, very important. And not just for games, being able to put do

There’s no doubt in my mind that we won’t all eventually be vegans. From a long-term view, bringing cows onto a space ship is a waste of rocket fuel. From a more short-term view, Beyond and Impossible will keep getting better and cheaper. T

I think the danger is memes, right? Their fitness is in how often people forward or upvote, not how helpful it is. Antivaxing is a meme, for example. What does it look like to have meme antibodies though? Are they just stronger memes pointi

By “vote who wins”, you mean when the weaker players will team up against the stronger player to have a better chance of winning? Or something more like being accepted into a good guild gets you onto good raid teams which gets you better ge

All of the more senior engineers I know who have kids are taking a break right now. The pandemic means that both work and family need more time than normal. I think it’s about 25% more time needed on the job for same results and about 50% m

For me, the most important one was Diablo 2 because I spent way too much time in it. I got totally pulled into the addictive/gambling side of farming and trading gear, and, there were definitely some opportunities in life I missed beca

This thought feels a bit like a generalized version of that quote on ads: > Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half. But swap out money for time: “Half the time I spend is wasted; th

I’m about 5 months into my first big break (after 10 years without one) and I didn’t really start to recover until about 3 months in. I’m still not quite recovered but have recently started coding again, which I think is great progress. Doi

That’s actually a very generous budget. With the requirements you have, I was expecting something in the 100-200 range! For used gear, check out eBay, Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace. Old desktops will probably need to be dusted and re-past

I think the closest thing right now is actually Fortnite. For how crazy it sounds when Tim Sweeney talks about Fortnite as a platform, I think it's as close as we've come yet. The early game is all about grinding up your gear. Loo

I did this once in C with just OpenSSL and I can't recommend against that enough! I learned a lot (about security) and it was fun, but, you're not valuing your own time at that point. If I had that same problem today, I think I&#x

If just playing around with machine learning to learn it, might be a lot cheaper to rent a GPU on AWS short-term than invest in hardware? Wording this as a question because I don't know off-hand what the cost breakdown actually is righ

It's nice to have a desktop around, even outside of productivity. I have an ancient 2550k set up as a media centre to run a TV that I also use for playing with bots, crypto and anything else long-running. It's also nice as a backu

All traffic lights but especially the ones set to do rolling green lights. The rolling green lights assume someone’s going the speed limit (which no one does) so it introduces more stop-and-go than if they all switched at the same time! But

You can’t really get any precision out of it but I think the size of the error bars is interesting, where recent estimates come out somewhere between 10^-13 and 10^8. That makes it a bit more likely that we’re alone than not. https:/&

From the empirical side of that too, for all the media attention anti-vaxers seem to get, I’ve yet to actually meet one. The scary part isn’t so much that they’re common, more so that there’s just enough of them to cause a problem. So if th

My favourite part of C2 is how you can see all the edit wars littered around the text. Like this one here near the top: > put N objects in a hash table using sequential integers [1..N] as their keys. TclLanguage makes you do this. LOL.

You’re right. I meant lazy in the Larry Wall sense (more efficient) but was also trying to pick a word that wouldn’t paint tabs in a bad light, because it’s more efficient in a different way.

by pitched 5y ago
I’ve noticed this before too! I think it’s because spaces are just lazier. Tabs might be more flexible but they do take a bit more effort. Someone who puts more effort than needed into one thing won’t stop at tabs.

I don’t have a CS degree at all and _really_ felt this way early in my career. After the first few years though, the people who keep learning will pass by the people who don’t and that y-axis offset you start with from a better school doesn

It doesn’t quite hit all those points but have you tried paying for a service with Bitcoin lately? The lightning network plus QR codes to autofill details all works pretty well.

Sarcasm comes out when a team is very healthy or very sick. It’s either a trust-fall game that brings everyone together or a way to ask a question without having it said in a low-trust environment. If you can’t tell if someone’s joking, tha
