I have always seen happiness as like sugar... sweet, and fine in small quantities but unhealthy if it becomes a dominant component in one's diet. Similarly, things that induce happiness (or other feelings) for the sake of it and nothin

They're not out yet. Have you ever used Kickstarter before?? You're phrasing this like they're GPUs. But those GPUs have general availability, at least on paper. There are no people, other than the Flipper devs, their friends

I get that, but there is something very wrong with business culture if that is the only outcome guaranteed. There are lots of examples of successful companies whose business model is not based around the unrestrained pursuit of pure profi

How about running ads but not letting them dominate your product? I see nothing wrong with running a costs-plus business model but VC comes in and demand all these stupid companies dominate the world so they can get their 500x return or wha

"Stunning design" it is not, and what if you're approaching from the other direction? Now you've gotta do this awkward S-shaped motion just to cross the bridge What's stopping this from being incorporated into a mor

I can only recall that happening to me maybe once or twice. I play SWTOR now, which is very similar to (as in copied a lot of design elements from) WoW (it feels like WoW in space), and I've never encountered all the NPCs being dea

Honestly I really enjoyed open PvP when I played WoW what now seems like ages ago. It really adds a lot of interesting tension when I'd encounter players from the opposing faction. Are they hostile? Do they see me? Should I try and ste

That kind of advise was par for course living in Amsterdam Zuidoost, as well as travelling around Berlin, Madrid, Santiago.... I'd say it applies to being anywhere with a significant crime rate or poverty burden Hardly unique to the US

Auto mechanics are in much greater supply than and make a much smaller salary than software engineers, and repair/diagnostic work is much different than the design work that seems to be less and less of my job. We're more and more

by tomc1985 5y ago
Good... the industry for developers has been slowly moving in a direction that seems to be trying to turn us into glorified auto mechanics. This is unacceptable. Let's keep supply tight!

I guess I don't get what's so meta about it. We're not talking about a universe that describes universes. Metaphysics = the physics of physics Metascience = studying science itself with science Metaphilosophy = Philosophy abo

I saw that, and the definition still says nothing. Ok, so a metaverse is somehow the realization of the "full scope" needed for a compelling AR ecosystem? And what exactly does that mean, and how does that define this particular u

Can someone please define 'metaverse' in the context of... whatever this article is about? Like jfc people, 'End users will experience the metaverse through the default device delivered experience.' sounds like the most

Cool. Though I wish the installer would let me choose my own path (what's up with software installing into the horribly inaccessible path of %HOME%\AppData\Local\Programs anyway?)

No benefits? It keeps people off the streets and gives them something to do, pointless or not. The net benefit to society is positive, which is why it keeps getting voted for. I live in a place with a severe homeless problem. I wish these p
