Car obsession appears to be highly regional. In the Pacific Northwest, it is amusing how many Subaru vehicles you will find. To the point that it is always odd to go back to Atlanta and see how few are there. It would be interesting to s

I should be clear that I expect exposure to something will build up some resilience to it. You see very similar with milk, if I'm not mistaken. So, I wouldn't expect that this would have no impact. I just question any improvemen

Right, I knew of those studies at the time. I also should add that I don't expect this has no impact on rates. My question is why I wouldn't expect the removal of trans fats to be more impactful? It would be one thing if there w

I'm very curious what the method they used to attribute this to the advice? I ask as I swear I saw something around that timeline talking about "trans fats" and how they were a possible culprit in a ton of nutrition related

As the 3rd child that had more allergies than I can really make sense of, I'm curious on this. Any recommended studies to read up on this?

I don't know that I agree this is the reasoning, here? Seems far more likely, to me, that there are other environmental factors at play. I'm almost certainly indexing too heavily on the ideas in birch pollen cross reactivity. Bu

But even in that scenario, you have a main function that is called under a deadline, no? You don't necessarily set the heart beat, but you do have a specific method that is called over and over. That is, yes, I shouldn't have men

I'm curious what makes you so confident on this? I confess I expect that people are often far more cognizant of the last thing that the they want to say when they start? I don't think you do a random walk through the words of a s

Just general code organization is all I really mean. Typically an explicit main loop where you go through all of the stuff that the game cares about. With the proliferation of frontend frameworks, you often don't even have an analogu

It remains a bit of a mystery to me that applications seem to grow further and further from traditional game techniques. Both in how state is propagated through the application, and in how it is represented. Like, I understand why people a

Fair that they are a way to implement without having to give more details. Those details are pushed to somewhere else, though. Which tends to make then less good for pedagogical reasons, to me. Also a bit harder to reason about to me, fo

But coroutines really only work any better than "objects" if you understand the implication to the stack pointer? Which requires understanding exactly what a thread is. Right? That is, a basic class that has defined state and me

Totally fair. I think a lot of the things we used to do in the name of efficiency has been completely lost in the progress of time. Largely from the emergence and refinement of JIT compilers, I think? That is, a lot of why you would go wi

I maintain that the big advantage of the On Lisp approach is that all of that is available without having to write a new compiler. Granted, I also don't have as heavy an attachment to pure functional as most people seem to build. Don&

Really hard to get past the headline's blame of Americans for this. Because it is evidently always the fault of Americans? I'm also not clear that this somehow "paved the way" for synthetic plastics. Was an early mover

I remain convinced that the main use case for VR is games. And to see them flirt around it so badly is just flat out amusing to me.

I was just commenting further on why you constrain it to your team/area of control. Should have been more clear that I meant my comment as a plus one to some of the other replies.

If your root cause is cross team, then you wind up having to make some implicit assumptions on what the other team could have done. Is akin to ending with "because the gods got angry." Not really actionable. This is a classic &q

I'm trying to remember the phrase. Something like, "there is nothing as vicious as low stakes fights." Trying that on Google gets me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayre%27s_law . Is about right. :D

You beat me to it! And for those that haven't taken a look at it, the "customize" menu and everything it supports is silly impressive. And it just writes out the results out, like a boss.* * Obviously, it has a lot of "

I have seen a lot of interfaces that I would be fine describing as "jerking" due to async silliness. Largely from odd reflows that result when the code completes in an order that is not "top down" in the function. It ca

Fun game, kudos! Calling it a 2d rubik's like makes me wonder if I should try to turn the code at the bottom of https://taeric.github.io/cube-permutations-1.html into a game.

I see that my Echos want me to enable the new Alexa. I confess a great deal of trepidation on these. Fairly confident that this is not going to go smoothly. And again I'm baffled on how they would light such good will and functionali

Worth probably underlining in heavy ink that if you find that any of these points are not accurate where you are, then you are likely in a bad place.

Agreed that we grew math to be that way. But there is an easy to trace history on the names of the numbers. Reals, Rationals, Imaginary, etc. They were largely named based on their relation to the language on how to relate them to physic

They are also much more interaction based than people typically ack. Ctrl-z sending something to the background and being able to list the currently active jobs for the current shell are specifically affordances for someone sitting at the

I think it is fair to say that it was always an abstraction. But, crucially, it was built on language as much as it was empiricism. That is, numbers were specifically used to abstract over how other things behave using simple and strict ru
