bringing a stationary desktop to the dorms has never been the correct decision
As silicon valley shifts from cyber-libertarian to cyber-authoritarian, so will HN, unfortunately.
Due diligence is basically the enemy of the "growth at all costs" mindset.
I think the idea of Flock (and all modern software, pretty much) is not just to offer a service, but to offer it as dirt-cheap and lazily as possible with the intent of creating reasonable margins for a product that…
IDK about the grass, bro, I've mostly just seen a lot of pavement since I lost my SWE job
The problem is that many of us seek employment from rent seekers. It's all great in theory, but not fun in the in-between times if you're trying to pay your own rent and find placement and nobody wants to bring anyone…
Yeah I had to dip out when he said, "Mom pretty because she was 28..." It might be a good article but I'm not sticking around to find out because I've got the yucks from that line. Brr.
I looked up the VETO diet and I intrigued as its similar to what I've eaten in the past or the ideal diet for me (plant based, low carb) but I just about had an aneurism when it claimed that diary was a "plant-based"…

Noita isn't really on the level that DF describes. Noita randomizes wands and allows you to make custom spells by leveraging different qualities, but its not procedurally generating the rules of magic themselves. The…
They made a couple mil off the steam release. It wouldn't have happened without the massive cult following, which only happened because it was free.
IMO, the steam release is not very good. Especially if you had been used to using the top mods that existed before the steam release for ease of control.
Steam release was absolutely botched. I didn't want to say it at around the time it came out, because I wanted it to succeed... but they dropped the ball in a big, big way. Lazy Newb Pack and other fan mods are still…
Steam version is much worse than the fan UI options that were already available, sadly. Its also why I explain why DF really failed to take off after the Steam release. It's nowhere near the best, or even best looking,…
Dwarf Fortress's Steam UI is by far, my least favorite thing about the game. Does anyone else agree? After playing with the Lazy Newb's Pack and other similar tools for years, I found the Steam version to be a…
I agree. Of course genes are involved... but that doesn't make it Mendelian. Autism would be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The fact exists that there is no singular autism gene. And there…

The time to regulate tech was like 15 years ago, and we didn't. Why would any tech company expect to have to start following "rules" now?
On the one hand, an amusing anecdote about an interaction with someone that ended up becoming massively famous does come across as somewhat noteworthy, but on the other hand, the fact that Job's response basically…
Can't "just take away" ie, there has to be a law prescribing the removal of the right. Lawful rights vs inalienable human rights. Same thing exists in US. You have a right to certain things, like the right to privacy,…
No, the LLM can only "see" a lower res version of the uploaded photo. It has to crop to process finer details, and they are suggesting its silly this isn't a built in feature and instead relies on python to do this.
And this is exactly why we need the metaverse! (kidding)
Depends what you mean by, "Best choice in front of you" Most people in developed countries are not in a situation where if they do not eat the food in front of them now, they will starve. Nearly every grocery store…
If you think harming animals unnecessarily is wrong, but still eat meat, then yes thats cognitive dissonance. The meat industry is the single most prolific source of animal abuse in the world. Factory farms are…
It was easy to fix though, I just said "all the way full" and it got it on the next try. Which makes sense, a full pour is actually "overfull" given normal standards.
