I haven’t seen the video, but I assume what it’s getting at is that if you have like a simple 5 over 4 polyrhythm and you speed it up sufficiently you’ll start to perceive it as a major third. I kind of also think that’s a little meaningles

I think they framed it accurately and you are instead over complicating. Language for scripts is a decision that virtually every team ends up making regardless. The other questions are basically all irrelevant since the scripts and actions

But I see it discussed in left leaning media all the time. Topics like male suicide rates, loneliness, and social pressure against showing emotion come up over and over again.

This just doesn’t line up with my experience whatsoever. For my friends on the left it’s a common topic, and I see it discussed in left leaning publications all the time. I wonder when I see these characterizations of the left if they are c

And what I am saying is that they absolutely are not designed to do different things any more. That used to be the case, but Unreal has fully eaten Unity’s lunch here in a technical sense. The engine’s roots are in AAA first person, but the

They really don’t at this point. Unreal has reached a point where it’s a better choice than Unity for nearly every single project. There’s still these pervasive beliefs that Unity is better for 2D or better for small teams, and it just isn’

I think all of those issues you listed were absolutely present in the Morrowind/Oblivion period. Really I don’t think it’s that Bethesda is a shadow of its former self. I think it’s that Bethesda still is its former self. The industry

Sources suggest 3-4000 steps on average for Americans, so an extra 1800 is actually a pretty big deal. 40 minutes of walking is no small thing for many.

It shouldn’t, but real estate disclosure isn’t the problem there.

I actually don’t think that’s what the author is arguing. They are arguing that certain metrics that are valuable to measure at a team level become less useful or even misleading if you zoom in too far to an individual level. Story points b

Out of curiosity, why would you opt for a steel frame? Durability?

Presence of citations has near zero meaning in terms of goals of the writing or bias. These are so clearly opinion pieces. One is bordering on an attack piece.

Then why does the birth rate steadily go down as you move up the income curve? My experience is that my wealthy adult peer group just has almost no interest in having children while my high school friends, many struggling badly financially,

Amendment to the post you are responding to: any reason aside from membership in a protected class. Political belief does not, and absolutely should not, constitute a protected class.

Following all my opinion, but easier to write without constant hedging: IMO public discourse is less controlled by private corporations/organizations now than at basically any other point in our history, with the possible exception of

I would have to disagree with the characterization of two opinion blog posts from relatively unknown authors as “unbiased sources.”

It is very safe, but that doesn’t mean the risk is zero. The fact that stories like that have become major news stories kind of illustrates how unusual it is these days.

Honestly Lyme disease is blown way out of proportion. It’s not all that hard to check for ticks to avoid it, and the course of the disease with treatment really just isn’t particularly serious for most who get it. There’s even growing skept

Firstly, not all worms are created equal. The most common worms in NA and Western Europe (like pinworm) just aren’t that serious. Second, absent actual testing, the risk/reward of deworming is very much a function of the likelihood tha

Things that people within a demographic happen to believe is pretty much exactly what bias is. Bias isn’t like… a bad thing. Everyone is biased toward their own viewpoints. The concern that I think this study is raising is that ChatGPT migh

Yeah my Kona EV falls into the comically silly class of “sub compact SUVs.” Also known as: this is a hatchback, but we know Americans won’t buy it unless we pretend it’s an SUV. Previously I owned a proper hatchback, and the dimensions are

While that’s true, a relatively small portion of Americans live in an area where that’s a serious concern. Yet go to any suburb and you’ll see huge numbers of SUVs.

Even if that’s true, it’s an absurd reason to own a truck.

20-25 miles highway is absolutely appalling. Like shockingly terrible. A conventional ICE minivan would get 10-15 extra mpg with additional room for passengers, and would cost less. A reasonably sized hybrid would easily get double the mile

IMO you try these in order: - Direct feedback to the manager about your needing space to work and their disruptive behavior. - Same feedback to their manager. - Look for new jobs. There’s no way to solve this that avoids direct feedback and

I agree with the previous commenter. If you level 2 charge at home you have to drive a pretty preposterous distance to ever have range issues. Road trips are another story, but they are infrequent.

Anyone sane should oppose _some_ unions. They don’t all make sense/provide positive value. Looking at you, public sector unions.

The tone of this comment is totally inappropriate for this site. The end is an intentional attempt to insult and incite.

That’s a less common meaning of the word interpolated, meaning to change, usually with the connotation of corrupting. Typically I see it used to describe text, but it makes sense here too.
