Very, very carefully, I'd imagine.

Consumers are the discerning ones. Developers will put up with anything.

Did you just slippery-slope all the way to entropy ? I agree with you and I'm "on your side" in the inane political sense. Just acknowledging the drawbacks.

It's this line of thinking that ultimately pushes me to being pro-nuclear. However, I think our optimism regarding the political situation is more misplaced than our optimism regarding the tech. Here, you criticize Carter's order

I wish one person who mentioned the long game would also mention that nuclear accidents can make a place uninhabitable for thousands of years. If I had a dollar for every time a pro-nuclear person (not that I'm not) ignored that, or pe

I feel like GIMP and Inkscape have finally caught up to the Adobe offerings. It was my reason for not switching for so long. But over the past year I did and I just-- wow. GIMP in particular is just really good now.

The downside in capitalism: Some company has your data if you are dumb enough to buy the thing. The downside in not-capitalism: You're forced to wear it. It doesn't work. Your family is brought in for questioning when you try to t

Ironically I've just made a Mac-to-Linux workflow change. I can probably still figure something out with another machine and Windows. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow, huge bummer. This is how I generated and edited my Kindle book... not sure what to do now.

The point is obviously more probes. I think a sufficient gravity field and planetary mass is going to let you work a lot faster. Robotic probes with basically no atmosphere to get through means you can use kinetic cannons to get off-world.

This is funny, but I think the real insidious reason is that it takes away the "saying your name" psychological advantage.

If you throw an apple at an orange tree, you can knock down an orange. Someone did even better and figured out how to get two oranges to fall about 3/10 of the time.

It was impressive by Florida lightning-capital-of-the-world standards. I don't have any SF Bay Area standards for lightning storms. I think I heard more lightning last night than in the ten years before that.

I live in SF. I'm from Florida. I was impressed.

It's a great move. The industry needs a new platform hero since Valve seem completely distracted by VR.

The phrase "conspiracy theory" is, top-to-bottom, a word to get you to stop thinking. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's just the history of the phrase. It's the outgroup concept applied directly to the concept of n

Thanks for this. I was wanting to look into this, and this page is way more than enough to get me started.

It's great. The key is to get one of those bendy-leg laptop stands. That solves all the ergonomic angle problems, keeps it from getting hot on the bed, and lets you use it a little table.

Yeah but they just tossed out "Lamborghini Prime" like it was bad bacon.

This is assuming you're sitting in the exact same position all day long. With a laptop you don't have to assume that.

Necessarily? Are there no conspiracies? Are all conspiracy theories necessarily untrue? I don't really care about the group analysis stuff. Not gonna apply that kind of reasoning to anyone I come across.

> Critical thought requires not only analyzing a position from contrary points of view I don't disagree with you, I'm just stopping right here. Like you said, it's a requirement. So contrarians are more likely to have it.

GP doesn't subscribe to any of the recent hate-this-group media tropes: anti-maskers, Karens, incels, protesters. In case it wasn't clear from my comment, I think this stuff is at the very core of anti-intellectualism. People who

When the argument ceases to be about the thing, and is instead about the group of people, it's lost. With Covid, people were having scientific discussions around R0, transmission of viruses, etc. Then it became about hating "anti-

People who believe in conspiracy theories are more likely to be critical thinkers. People who can't think critically never believe in conspiracy theories. They believe the official story every time. I've never understood this ar
