I just did a bit of a dive into his annotated writings, I'm still like 1% deep but this was on literally page 2 of a page where he describes how he writes (which is in another comment if you're curious) https://i.imgur.

Thanks for these links this is fascinating. I'm going through his archived file on this Hugo and Nebula Anthology 1993 which contains his annotated A Fire Upon the Deep - https://archive.org/details/hugo_nebula_199

That's probably a really good call I didn't consider this possibly being one persons TODO: messages. And here I am just TODOing everything.. huh. Do any of you do verbose/specific TODOs like this? I can't really think of

Ok I was initially going to ask why this book is on archive and posted here. Is it out of copyright? It was only written in 1992? Anyway, I'm less curious about that now and more curious about the absolute eye blast this emacs picture

I'm not here to defend UE at all but some of the comments about its use are kind of going in the direction of how any discussion of UE/Doordash/etc on reddit goes where people may seem to forget that something easy for them i

This looks really nice, great work. I'll definitely give it a try. Have you considered a free tier where you could monetize it maybe via sponsorships/ads with the goal to have a social aspect? I'm a huge fan of Githubs social

Space opera is my favorite genre but I've failed to get through the Foundation series probably 20 times now so this may be terrible advice but it's recommended to not read them in publication order by Asimov himself. This has a go

I like when people mention that they're "computer doctors." I have some stressful migrations that require a lot of planning and could cost a significant amount money if botched but I can't imagine the additional stress o

Yeah I honestly find people going for 100% achievements to be absolutely strange to me. Same with New Game+ people. A lot of the time you have to play the game over and over again or do something horribly repetitive to get to 100% and peopl

There is no way that you can objectively state that "These statistics are bad." These badges literally do not affect my life at all. Nor do they affect probably 99% of github users other than being an interesting thing to look at

Not only can you turn the badges off in your profile but you are barely even encouraged to participate. I have absolutely no idea what badges I'm missing and I have never once done anything to achieve a badge that didn't come

Who cares if 1% of people "game" it? Do you think people are actually looking up lists of achievements outside of gag websites like this and getting jealous that someone else has XYZ achievement to the point that they'll game

Why do tens of millions of video gamers work to get to 100% completion and various goofy achievements in their games? Why does Spotify Rewind get posted every year? Some of us find it fun and neat to see certain things/statistics we&#x

Wow you're right. I somehow skipped right over that. I even read it again to make sure I had the context right. I wasn't sure if his mom had literally said "don't do that!" or just inferred it in a tweet like she ac

It's not. Musks mother and father showed their displeasure in the idea and now he won't do it. No, I'm not being facetious. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/elon-musk-mother...

Yeah I've been very happy. Carplay is light years better than Android Auto. That was one of the biggest worries I had as I used AA a LOT.

Oh sorry bud, I guess I shouldn't be upset that there's a forum that I saw tons of child porn on. And nazis. And trans-hating homophobes. I'm so sorry, I'll try to be better. The guy has replied to every single one of my

What an absolutely stupid comparison. Yeah, goatse was tamer than child porn. Got it, bud. I see where your morals lie. FBI, this guy right here. And who said I saw it one time? I literally said it was full of CP. Good work, man.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that you keep telling people that they haven't visited 4chan and are wrong. This is hackernews. Most of us are in our 30s and were perpetually online during the rise of 4chan and are not ignorant whatsoe

I play VR games like Skyrim VR quite often and my biggest disappointment, outside of the ridiculous price - is that it's completely gesture controlled. Are there going to be controllers at all? How would you play a game with guns? Make
