I can't think of one, but I also can't tell the difference between the tenderloin and SOMA anymore. Everyone's comments makes sense to me if you swap SOMA in for tenderloin
I started using Impossible in any beef recipe which highly seasons or sauces the meat, and can't tell the difference. Or don't care enough about the difference. Talking hamburger helpers, manwhiches, casseroles, that…
Sticking to the consumer-side of the discussion, the BigCos aren't going to break the cycle. In fact, it's a capitalist crime to do so. Their flywheel requires a steady cattle population to surveil in the fields. When…
One difference is that Twitter, Facebook, Google, are not governments and have no real authority over you. They only have the power you give them by choosing to stay in their ecosystem. Therefore it's a strain to refer…
My intuition is that consciousness, as an a priori concept, is not useful. Like the four humours in the medical world, it's a metaphor that captures just enough truth to be a blunt instrument. However it's a local…
At some point nvidia would be better off mining with these gpus than selling them. The oddest solution I can think of is gamers lease graphics cards at a low low price and nvidia mines on them in the off-hours. With a…
F2P regulations have advanced rapidly in Asian countries and since the games have global audiences, everyone worldwide is now "benefitting" from the regulation. Boot up a gacha game and it will have guaranteed reward…
Marketing anxiety via social proofing has a long history, much older than computers. Beauty products, cleaning supplies, child safety gear, etc. Why limit the condemnation to virtual goods?
I've worked at lots of employers who ask current employees for positive Glassdoor reviews shortly after a disgruntled former employee writes a bad review. I wouldn't trust anything on that site. The positive reviews are…
If I were trying to compare technologies I might focus on metrics like release strategy, documentation quality, scale of existing products using it, and maintainer activity. This survey comes out every year and tells me…
Farmville and Harvest Moon share a theme and maybe even an aesthetic but are in different genres. Harvest Moon is a single player sim game. Farmville is an async multiplayer invest/express. Zynga popularized the genre.…
Oh true, there's a lot of computer assisted tools for level designers and it has definitely made game worlds feel more realistic. The strategy is to let the computer generate a baseline and then hand-tune from there.…
During the indie dev renaissance in the 2010's, procedurally generated content received a lot of investment and attention. (Today's marketers would call this AI generated content.) The idea was that your small indie…
These business metrics require objective measurement to be useful, so one of the best things engineers can do is make the unseen seen. You can bootstrap the objectivity by going meta. An objective like, create…
A lot of discussion about whether YouTube censorship is valid or not, carries an implicit assumption that the marketplace of ideas is up to the task of sorting fact from fiction. It isn't, at least not right now,…
There are no public squares on the internet. Every DNS resolution leads to privately owned 'land'. You can be escorted off the property for nearly any reason. Maybe Youtube gave the misconception that they were a public…
You are free to host your video evidence on your own website, following your own internal moderation rules for what is deemed credible or not. No one is taking this right from you.
Honestly confused why Salesforce didn't buy Discord instead. Discord's entire business model seemed to be geared toward toppling Steam by perfecting community features and then expanding into digital sales. Right when…
I wonder if pulling the brakes on what's being called the post-fact era, is futile. Maybe the internet is perfectly capable of maintaining N disjointed realities and there's nothing we can do to resolve them. It may not…
This is a lovely tool, you can also implement automated builds and deploys using Github Actions to drive web-ext. Chrome is pushing for manifest v3 and not seeking buy-in from the other web extension standard bearers.…
