I'd venture that certain [generally skeptical?] people find it easy to spot. So, disinfo is easy to spot for someone who makes it their business to spot it. I don't know the ratio of skeptical to credulous in the population, but f

Right. I can't imagine what "fixed environment" could even possibly be construed to mean. The conscious pressures are unavoidably pervasive, let alone the unconscious ones. Doesn't much matter how the parents parent. Try

That is exactly what I mean, yes. If both parents sincerely want what’s best for the kids, that should take priority and thus the bar should be accordingly high for divorce until the kids are grown, whatever you feel grown means. Higher tha

Having lived many years in both a miserable, acrimonious two parent household, and a post-divorce situation - my personal opinion is the latter is, unintuitively, far more harmful long term for the kids. But the former is so much worse for

LOL. Why are you two not sharing the love?? Wube will not mind. Ok, I’ll do it. If you like Factorio, I think you owe it to yourself to try Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program. Satisfactory is my favorite since it has an expansive world t

Most important lesson I ever learned and I share it freely, because I could have saved 2 years of misery had I really understood. People be like “well you say that but some of us have mortgages, families, kids, cats to feed”. Well guess wha

Coding side projects brings me immense joy. My paid gigs have been soul-crushing, with occasional exceptions. It's all about autonomy. I have a particular approach to cultivating robust codebases, which I developed over 30 years, and w

AR is commonly used to insert solid objects into the real world. See Pokemon Go and most HoloLens games. And the HoloLens app where a virtual dog lives in your house.

Chrome, but I couldn't tell you exactly why. It's just that every time I switch, something rubs me slightly the wrong way. So I switch back. Nothing about Chrome ever bothers me.

This is a good way of looking at it. I had ample opportunity to buy GOOG and AMZN early on. After all, I had a brokerage account, and I followed those stocks. I bought LVS at the absolute bottom, but didn't hold. As for bitcoin, I was

I have a small flat in the city, a little junk food, and no car. I'll be totally honest - from time to time I feel a little twinge of regret, since I could afford a McMansion and an expensive car if I worked all the time. But I quickly

Sure, it's possible. That's what I've been doing for the past 10 years. Keep my overhead as low as humanly possible (I have simple needs - basically a small Steam budget and a Netflix subscription), and do short contracts whe

Yes, that's what happens causally. But the gag is that the result looks like blackface. At least I'm 90% certain that was the intention of the writer / animator.

This is where someone helpfully lays out a step by step justification of how the words technically fit, if you squint from the right (left) angle.

I understand that Vulcan adds a lot of complexity, but OpenGL and Direct3D are surprisingly finite. Once you learn the graphics pipeline, it’s not too hard to begin drawing things. Init window and device, fill vertex and index buffers, load

That’s so funny. I was also thinking “is he going to say wet dream? I think he is” and then I was kind of impressed he found a loftier phrase.

My intent was to support your comment, not contradict it. By reassuring anyone who might read this that the chemical imbalance angle has rightly fallen out of favor.

They have a clear incentive to exaggerate a) the effectiveness of the drugs, and b) how well they understand how they work. There is an important distinction between knowing how drugs affect brain chemistry, vs knowing how they alleviate sy

Mentally ill person here. I haven’t heard a mental health professional use the phrase ‘chemical imbalance’ or anything similar in 20 years. It’s my understanding it has been deprecated. It’s mostly repeated by laypeople in ignorance. It’s h

Compelling to a significant demographic maybe? “Controversial” can include violent. Seems like those games tend to be technically amazing, as well as particularly entertaining / humorous if that’s your thing.

Also one of my favorites, although I’m a huge fan of more traditional Disney features. I owned very few DVDs, but I bought this one. I think I gave it as a gift too. 20 years later I was watching Archer, and I instantly recognized one of th

I don’t know what white genocide is, much less how it relates to anything I wrote. What you think you read probably isn’t what I thought I wrote. I was dryly lamenting the options available to progressives who are uncomfortable with the the

There is the widely accepted concept of an ally. You could be one. You'll be a second-class citizen. You'll have to supplicate for your place. For the 'space you take up' as they like to say. You'll need to keep up

I’ve been a senior dev for many years. People ask me a lot of questions all the time. I also ask a lot of questions all the time. Q&A is just a very effective mode of communication.
