Alternatively, question why we spend so much time "working". We do not work 8 hours, but our schedules are set that way. We're only working ~3 hours per day, the rest is mostly fluff. Give people back those 5 hours and you&#x

Same, but I have a hard limit for how many days per week I would prefer going into the office. I cannot fathom those who have a life outside of work actually wanting to spend 5 days a week going to the office when they have a choice otherwi

Turns out, as ChromeOS and Android has proven, and now the Deck the best way to increase linux usage is to not immediately drop someone into the hot mess that are mainstream DEs for linux.

In an ideal world that's true, but a lot of really bright kids wind up becoming educationally restless, and fall into traps of not seeking higher education because of how slow it is. Also due to them being quite gifted, they develop so

Yes, but this also assumes that a lot of the content created by humanity has been worthwhile. A lot of it is pure noise. Youtube is a really great example of this, in between the "hidden gems" and "popular high quality"

Yep. It's the reason why I tend to point anyone interested in the Deck to look at ProtonDB instead. A much more thorough picture of whatever games they might be interested in. Using Cyberpunk as an example again, it's only given &

Is it unreasonable to assume this article was also generated? It's the unnecessary numbered list (a favorite of GPT) that gives it away. Only being facetious. Not much new to discuss from this article, it's a very shallow overview

The work they did with the New York state has absolutely been monumental. So monumental even 40+ years later people still prefer it to the newest creations. This campaign also re-emerged after 9/11 as a symbol of support, something mos

Sure, but do you have a solution to the problem that doesn't also hinder those who are using both StackOverflow and ChatGPT for "good"? Without a solution we're just whining about bad actors existing.

Valve labels Cyberpunk as verified, which by default tries to get you to play the game at an absurdly low framerate (even by handheld standards). This means that playability standards aren't high, but rather their goals regarding these

Disagreeing with some of the decisions they've made in regards to concurrency doesn't negate it from being a core pillar. Neither does wanting more information on why they've made the decisions that they have. This is common

This is why this discussion is usually fruitless, it assumes a situation which never exists (this idea that people are hiring incompetent but nice devs over the reverse, or vice versa entirely). But what is a reality, is that without a comp

Generally speaking that's true. But I'm not entirely sure many luminaries would be satisfied being relegated to being the "Fortnite language". Surely they have larger goals here and it's why Epic is bothering when s

I'm confused by this example, Jonathan Blow sounds identical to LANGUAGE EXPERTS here. If anything the difference stems from humor, but they're both doing the exact same thing - arguing Yet Another Language is better.

Yes, but it's not an exclusive design goal. Other goals are listed on that page and you can see how design tradeoffs happened. You don't prioritize simplicity over all and make concurrency a core pillar! And certainly I think they
