So yeah, I say "I'm not sure" because I don't know the personal motives of the individual outspoken people. It really depends on what they thought it was going to accomplish, and why they wanted those things to happen. T

I'm honestly not sure. Other people will take up the up the contract, and the work will get done, but probably not quite as cheaply.

I have mixed feelings. It was basically a mob-driven decision. Mob made decisions can have good or bad outcomes, but the action being pressured for by mobs is usually irrational. I think there's something to be said for listening to yo

I think the main point was that LRT doesnt move more people than an equivalent bus route, yet costs more. Given that, less LRT is built than bus as the scarcity makes it used by only the rich.

Oh, definitely. But even for randomly generated games that term doesn't usually get surfaced (with the notable exception of minecraft). So I think it getting surfaced more often is a sort of a sign of influence from the randomizer comm

The two complaints are valid. The point I was making is that chrome.webRequest is still around (as I understand it - if I'm wrong, please correct, because that's my whole point!), it's just for observation only now. Plugins c

My favorite romhack is https://alttpr.com/en (A Link to the Past Randomizer). It basically takes your rom and swaps the location of all items in chests, pendants / crystals, and can even swap enemies, keys in dungeons

No, it's not. Chrome says its for privacy but still allows plugins to snoop on all network traffic (just not midy the requests). So it doesn't improve privacy. That's why everybody is hating on google - it's a reduction

Oh, I love deleting code. I'm just scared of Chesterton's fence.

The funnest school computer exploit I figured out was how to run a game from a USB drive (circa 2007). I was in an accounting class (using excel) and I tended to finish the earliest with our in-class work because of judicious use of formula

I don't think you can quite draw the conclusion. Housing price trends over the last 10 years could just as easily show a consolidating job market.

I recall hearing (so take this with a grain of salt), that part of the issue is when you start looking your hearing you stop exercising the skill of focusing on a single stream of sound, such that when you get your hearing back you ability

The transportation sector seems like a pretty good indicator. Maybe a dip in the number of semi's in the road over time?

For about a year or so now Ive been wanting to make a game about science. It'd basically be a research and discovery simulator, and there would be a free-play mode. Some of the knobs would be # of required replication, required p-value

I know the author. Good guy. Level headed and data driven. I found it to be an interesting read. He says he's been getting lots of interesting emails since this piece. Edit: A little more context: this was in response to some other rig

It's also slower because it hands LLVM a boat-load of IR and relies on LLVM to optimize it (instead of doing it itself).

hmm... there are many libraries that are no-alloc. It seems quite feasible (well, that and custom allocators are a thing now)..

I'd argue that lints are part of the language - they are run as part of the compiler, and block code from compiling, like the "must use" lint. That said, they are configurable, so I see your point - they are more permissive t

That has virtually nothing about his claims, just his funding. And while the source of funding is important, I'd love to see an analysis of the actual claims/science.

At that's patently false? Reading through the supporting material it seems like a pretty good point - CO2 follows, not drives temperature. https://cornwallalliance.org/2012/12/carbon-dioxide-and-air-...
