In Ted Chiang's latest short story collection "Exhalation" there is a story called "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling"[1] that kind of touches on what you are talking about. In the story, one of the characters

You are right about most games, but then there is stuff like Truck simulators (EuroTruck Simulator, and there is an American one). I've dipped into a few streams to watch and I just don't get it. I know driving can be relaxing, bu

The person you are replying too understands that it is anecdotal, which is why they mentioned that it's a woefully understudied topic and needs more funding for long term studies.

Unfortunately that is not the approach most people take. Oddly enough I have two friends, one an EMT and the other an RNA, both of which are paid terribly (well below $21hr), but love to share the ever popular memes that make fun of fast fo

Honestly reminds me of posters here complaining that an article/headline is click bait, when it's really just an attempt to simplify something for more people. People assume it's malicious, when it's really doing what yo

I thought the administration at the time pushed the WMD angle, while the intel said otherwise?

We probably have similar setups. Built my current desktop 6 years ago starting with Windows 7. Use it mainly for playing games, but also for hobby software developer (so a plethora of software dev software and virtual machines). I have a th

You are probably right in how that would be best in how it would be done. My wife recently went to LA, and between the pictures she sent and me looking into it more afterwards, your description of several cities tied together is a very apt

While this is great for Zurich, and I would like to see it applied to a larger American city, but LA and Zurich are incredibly different scales of size. LA (according to Wikipedia) is 1,213.8 squared km, compared to Zurich at 97.8 squared k

Maybe in screenshots they look bad, but Celeste looks great it motion. Lots of good lighting effects, motion effects, and other things that make it look modern. Undertale has really basic art in certain sections (like in the provided screen

I don't know if they are unnecessary, but they do not require me to be in the office. I usually end up reading up on things, or responding to emails when I am in those latter 4 hours. Those tasks can be done just as effectively at home

My significant other does manual labor, and it's a good day when they don't want to just come home and fall asleep on the couch and those good days are rare. Even after my worst days of a software dev job, I still have the energy

I wonder if this is a product of Valve's free-form company structure. If as a Valve employee, you have the autonomy to float between projects, how do you maintain a strong security team? Do they even have a dedicate security team?

I am not a fan of Rogan, but I struggle to see how he is comparable to Alex Jones.

You summed up my issue's with him perfectly. I used to have a lot of the same dumb conversations he has with his guests with my roommates in college. The difference was our conversations were limited to a couple of dumb college kids an

It might be a lot of pages, but Django has some of the best documentation out there. Speaking as someone who had to recently use it for a project for the first time, it was very easy for me to find the information I needed in their docs.

I used to use Simple bank and they did this as well. One time I was at my desk and got a notification for a purchase at a Grocery store that sounded unfamiliar. Opening the notification took me into the detail page that showed it was locate

I mean, it's the original writer coming back. They cannot break or go against canon since whatever they write is canon. Also, before this was announced there was a push for a prequel staring Michael B. Jordan as a young Morpheus. I lik

This is what I could call are a sincere definition. I understand why someone could view this as limiting, but saying DRM is malware and it's only purpose is to limit you is intentionally ignoring other information about DRM to make it

I also have my gripes with DRM, but what you defined is 100% not malware, and also an insincere definition of DRM.

So far it sounds like the next iPhone will still use lightning, so you should be safe using this Yubikey for a few years at least.

Not even close to an accurate comparison. It's not just paper - it's a printing press that can push your message directly to a device into the pocket of people who belong to specific groups that you want to target.

I really think the split is almost purely a generational thing. If your first exposure to computers/coding was using a terminal, I think you will end up leaning towards spaces. If you grew up in the post GUI world on Windows or Mac, I

No worries, I don't. That's why I included it in my example of a fictional roulette wheel of reasons.

It was literally a national story 2 or 3 weeks ago about a cop who suffocated and killed a white guy who called the cops on himself because he was off his medication, having a mental health episode, and needed help. Also we are currently at

The Netflix movie The Irishman is about a labor union organizer/mob hitman [1] who claims to have assisted in JFKs assassination at the behest of the mob/ Jimmy Hoffa. You can literally spin a wheel of different motivations for gr

Out of curiosity, do you remember why you didn't just call or send a letter? I have zero familiarity with what it was like to send a telegram, but I imagine even 40 years ago it would be more difficult to send a telegram then a letter

I've seen them post before, but never in a group inside a long running thread like this before. Seeing their responses and then their profiles (small personal details to humanize them, but most of them follow 0 people) makes it so incr

I think it's a mix of people who like using their camera's to spy on family/guests/neighbors, and people who just genuinely do not know the camera works better as a deterrent then as evidence.

I've found Apple Music does this pretty well with some of it's scheduled programming like Beats 1, or the less frequently but quality stuff like Echo Chamber.
