"Just reboot it" is 1000x more polished than having to jump into the terminal or reinstall your OS (both of which are 100% inaccessible to the average user). Troubleshooting can be done by googling your issue on Windows whereas Li

I get around it by working on things for me and me alone and publishing them as an afterthought for anyone that would seek them out. I make the tool that I want to use and make the game that I want to play. This has had way better reception

This is often parroted and almost never true. US courts will not kill one of the biggest and most well-recognized companies in the world because of one tiny corner supermarket.

You're absolutely right. As we all know, the perfect must be the enemy of the good, and so we must shun and ban anything that might be helpful until we spontaneously reach a utopian society where there are no problems at all.

Language requires repetition and prolonged attention to learn. Anki is good for sure but even with push notifications is not pushy enough to keep most people coming back to it on a consistent basis. Miss a day of Anki and now you're do

Bottom line is that management just doesn't want to hear anything negative, ever. They're not going to read it and if their lackeys read it the lackeys know better than to tell them about it and risk their own livelihoods. Better

The other reply is correct in that I was speaking to a broader concept than just historically recent industrialization, but yes, that certainly accelerated things too.

That's the point, isn't it? It takes these dark patterns that predatory game devs/actual gambling apps have been researching and minmaxing for years and points them at something useful and productive instead (language learnin

Food has been optimized for thousands of years to be as addicting as possible, so yes, that about sums it up. If anything the food has altered human biochemistry long before anything resembling Ozempic came to be and this is a course correc

Probably just that it's not as impressive as it appears because it didn't innovate. Which is of course irrelevant since the innovative leap here were the optimizations that let them make their model with an order of magnitude fewe

Fun game, would fit well on mobile. The mark mechanic might be the trickiest thing to translate over, maybe tap and hold to bring up a numpad sort of interface? I'd drop a couple bucks on it.

There are a couple of mechanics that can only be observed on a fully visible board (the death screen), such as the purple slime mage who is level 1 but is always surrounded by level 8 tiles or the basilisk that marks number tiles with a ? i

My eyes seem to immediately refocus as soon as my finger moves away no matter how many times I try this. Before I move my finger away, everything in my peripheral vision is too blurry to be useful.

This underestimates the absolute hold MS currently has in this space. It's not that they have nothing to fear because the opposition is small, but rather the terror comes from the fact that serious opposition in the OS space exists at

And murder is an exercise in bodily freedom. If my hands are tied so I can't murder people, I am not bodily free. Yes, you're correct, we shouldn't bind the hands of people. No, we shouldn't be arguing in favor of murder

I saw your point in your original post of being wary of what games you install since some come with crapware, but you've completely lost me here. For many people, perhaps even most people, the whole point of practicing their digital fr

Spoilers! There's a whole combat and map system that's hidden away initially. A lot of the progression really wants you to do that but it's hidden away at first so it's not obvious.

This medicine works by softening the indulgence instinct. It doesn't let you gorge all day and be thin, it makes you not want to gorge.

Wouldn't it be easier to get the jump on them by not threatening them in the first place? How does stopping the verbal threat also stop the real life attack? Not to say that I wish harm on anyone or think anyone deserves to be threaten

I did check it, it does not appear to mention this factor at all. I would assume then that they are focusing only on individuals who were able to actually get treatment, since this seems to be the survival rate among patients in treatment.

Perhaps because the US is the home of a number of prestigious colleges and to be with your peers you have to relocate there? You act like the broken healthcare system is the only possible explanation for cases where the US provides better c

I think even if it's only usable in niche scenarios it would still be a commercial success. Superconductors are useful even when they're hard to use, as seen with existing cold temperature superconductors which a room temperature
