Does anyone know if performance/efficiency of the game has gotten better over time? I played it quite a bit ~2 years ago or so, but my 7 year old MBP got really hot and very slow by the time I started using blueprints. From what I read

I would be interested in finding this post - I haven't seen it and using your description I'm failing to find it with Google as well. Do you remember more? Thanks!

Would you mind elaborating on what you’re referring to? I’m quite curious.

It depends. At the moment if I see a reddit post saying product X was really appreciated by a user, most of the time I'll believe that was an actual human appreciating that product. But if modern mass marketing is going to be the injec

I rely a lot on text for obtaining information and shaping my opinion, and in many cases short form text plays an important role (e.g. here or on reddit). I’m sure I’m not alone in that. This technology can at the very least waste my time,

I noticed something similar with expressing gratitude - I feel like Americans are much more likely to write things like "Thank you for your amazing work on this!" or "Thanks so much, that's extremely helpful!". Some

The point about water ballast is actually not entirely accurate - it's not to stay up longer, it's to increase speed. Gliders have a certain angle of attack at which they fly most efficiently (optimal glide angle, i.e. trading the

I think you should just go for it - many gliding clubs have introductory or passenger flight options. I flew gliders for a few years and it's really wonderful - it's very quiet and the view is fantastic. Landing is suprisingly eas

The way I read the parent comment is "arrogant people expose their opinions" (which unavoidably exposes them to challenge) and "arrogant people have full confidence they know exactly what to do" (but are actually unaware

Bird physics are really interesting. There's an excellent (and accessible) book called "The Simple Science of Flight" by Henk Tennekes (who is an expert in the study of turbulence) which I really enjoyed reading, highly recom

Interesting - my experience was that I learned a lot from it not so much by blindly executing the steps, but by things not working the way they were supposed to. This forced me to dive into the details and understand what was going on. (Thi

Because they are handling their communication terribly. A while back there were headlines about this precise topic, i.e. WHO saying that asymptomatic transmission is rare - it caused quite a stir and a number of articles followed explaining

They don't say something different. The key part is who does not develop symptoms , i.e. ever . From what I understand the WHO basically distinguishes between asymptomatic transmission (which they say is uncommon), and pre symptomat

We just hired an engineer in India who so far seems really promising. As a start-up sized organization I think you can do really well if you look in the right places. If I had to build a team of 100 people in a limited amount of time I woul

Same experience here. Before learning vim I never expected its interface to make such a difference (it seemed daunting and unergonomic). I think the only other software that has made me feel that way is i3.

I highly recommend the book "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles Mann which among others goes into this topic as well. It really changed my conceptions about ancient civilizations in the Americas.

I agree there is no clear evidence on the prevalence in coronavirus vs flu but I think as a naive estimate it's reasonable to suspect that if it's around 6x more deadly, that serious side effects are similarly more prevalent. Cons

I do think the CDC numbers seem strange - when I search for "flu IFR" and "coronavirus IFR" what I find for flu is 0.04-0.2% and for coronavirus it's more like 0.4-1%. So these CDC best estimates seem to make the co

I feel like mainly this article is about building generic tools as you are developing your application. I think the word "framework" is used liberally - base classes and higher order functions are classified as tiny frameworks in
