I can actually speak to this as someone in ruralish Pennsylvania whose town is going through one of these backlashes pretty heavily. The major issue, at least in my neighborhood, is location more than anything else. We…
I keep returning to Zachtronics games endlessly in my free time, despite doing engineering work for 8-10 hours a day for the last months. Sure they're a bit of a facsimile of a programming challenge, but they're pretty…
Wow it's impressive to see that this page has remained up for so long! I used to email the owner a long time ago when I was really getting into Pink Floyd in high school. It was one of the first times I can really…
Is there a clear definition of 'typical' when it comes to the speeds/latency - e.g., should I expect this on a p95 level at my residence for the contract? I ask because I'm paying for a service advertising itself as…
Was bummed to see it in the Eiyuden newsletter this morning. Suikoden and its sequel were formative for me and my immediate friend group growing up. His creative vision definitely left an impact on me. (Or at least as…
I'd imagine outputs along the lines of 'I cannot comply with that request' or stating ethical issues with continuing onwards in the conversation. This seems to want to catch what most would consider to be publically…
Heardle was one of the games that we really enjoyed quite a bit, but definitely needed some sort of variation to the game itself other than 'first x seconds' Usually we would get the answer in a single try, because it…
It was targeted at journalists that were impacted by layoffs, particularly in response to articles that were coming out along the lines of 'Some ex-Coal Miners have learned how to code' -…
I did some reading on this a while back, since I was also morbidly interested, and I believe that they said they found lots of evidence of shoes because they contained the only material that the sea life around them…
I personally remember when Soda taxes were being proposed in Philadelphia. I did and do see soda as a luxury, so it sounded reasonable enough to me compared to alternatives A lot of otherwise reasonable people that I…
Invoking a pretty old video that still makes me smile to this day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ukMXA0SJaM
Outstandingly catchy (and funny imo) song based on this concept of the bouncing DVD logo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ws0QtAiiXQ
Ummagumma is a pretty wild ride I think their early stuff (Piper, Saucer) had a structure of sorts, but it was kinda out there and probably only Syd really understood it Ummagumma was throwing stuff at the wall to see…
It's less that they don't work and more that they don't work optimally in the affected areas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0sq5GN7xc Zeihan is a bit US-centric overall, but his energy talks are sound (or I'm too…
So it's not a video lecture on Go specifically, but I first started learning itbecause I saw how it looked and how fast it ran while watching a Dynamic Programming series that happened to use Go for its implementations.…
It's convenient, but I've developed muscle memory to just type news.ycombinator over the last 10 years, so I guess it doesn't matter much for me. When I first discovered the site, I definitely had to google 'hacker…
It might also just be a matter of growing up and suddenly realizing that everything seems so much more defined than previously thought. Anecdotally, but I also noticed that from around 2000 to 2010, suddenly everything…
Nintendo seems to wax and wane, more than rise, fall, and rise again. But when their consoles are popular, they're stupidly popular.
This is true, but colloquially they were known as fads. At least on YTMND, 4chan, SA, or any other major hub in the late 90s/early 00s
Philly suburbs: Fios has been inconsistent for me for the last hour or so, starting around 11:00
This is an absolutely beautiful thing to see
Fascinating. I remember playing these with a much older cousin when I was very young (maybe around 4-5) but I always thought that these games were a result of the FPS boom, inspired by Doom/Wolfenstein and such, rather…
Not all AOL subscribers participated in these boards/posting though. In addition, you have social media boosting other social medias, Facebook, Reddit, this place, each with their own individual brand of shenanigans.…
Do you have other examples of this? I've heard this anecdotally over and over again, but I would be interested in reading actual instances where this is the case
Death Stranding is definitely a lot more divisive. I personally enjoyed the snot out of it, but understand why others didn't. It's definitely a quality is in the hands of the beholder sort of thing though.
