The problem isn't so much signing up, the problem is that from their website, without signing up, I have no idea what their service does and what are it's features. A small paragraph and maybe a screenshot would do…
>I'm specifically referring to https://spatial.chat Kinda off topic, but I'm starting to see this kind of website design more frequently these days, just a big "Join" button (or something) without any information…
I've always been a bit curious, do these types of programs make any attempt to identify whether they're running in a VM?
I agree with this. I have though about it extensively, as an introvert who hates large cities, and I think (at least for me) a city between 500k and 1 million inhabitants spread out over a sizeable area is ideal. It has…
I'm overall surprised at how unpopular/unknown wxWidgets is when the discussion turns to cross platform UI toolkits. I've used it a lot, as well as other popular toolkits (Qt, GTK, etc.) and I find that wx is, at the…
While not exactly a convertible, the Honda e sounds right up your alley. It's probably the only electric car I'm looking forward to anymore.
The thing worth mentioning is that becoming a famous author and writing quality books are different goals, achieved through different means. Cynically, I would say that they're unrelated, but in reality I'd say writing…
The complaint isn't about the capability for mass surveillance, but the normalization of it, in the public mind. The capability has existed for a pretty long time, mostly out of the public eye, with occasional bursts of…
>You can definitely live with a voice-only phone This is likely to be untrue in the immediate future. This is probably already true in places like China, where mobile payments are the norm. As a personal example, and I…
>Besides that you could always click on the drop down menu in the upper left and use the TOC to jump around, or skip something. I think that was kinda the main problem for me, actually. When you have a PDF article or…
For me, it's a pretty interesting article on a topic I very much enjoy and they did some very impressive work, but it's ruined by some pretty bad UX. Reading this felt like a chore. I would greatly prefer a PDF file or…
>A lot of car guys just aren't going to rip apart their wiring harnesses and do testing to make sure it'll work with their onboard sensors. I'm not so sure about that. My go-to mechanic is an older gentleman, late 60s,…
Legal alcohol limits are a guideline and not a solid rule. Ideally, they were designed with the idea that personal responsibility would play a role in your decision to drive after having a beer. After all, you can have…
Taking a look at that report, it seems to be missing an important statistic when it comes to motorcycle crashes. What is the fatality and serious injury rate when comparing when the motorcyclist is at fault vs when the…
It took some time to find a combination of medicine that worked for me, and I was pretty lucky as far as that is concerned. So my first bit of advice to anyone considering medicine is to stick with it and follow…
I suppose I should clarify the kind of mindfulness I'm talking about. Basically what I was taught was how to pay attention to what I'm feeling and where those emotions are coming from. This helps a lot with lowering my…
The beauty of communities like these is that I can make an account and talk about my experiences without tying it to my real identity. Unfortunately I don't have the courage to do that yet, it's easier to be honest when…
Yes, mediation, mindfulness and several other techniques for controlling emotions were things that we tried with my psychiatrist. Meditation didn't really work for me but mindfulness sure did.
I definitely understand. As I got older, I found myself doing the first type of procrastination (the do nothing type) more and more, and after talking through some things with my psychiatrist we came to the conclusion…
Not always true. I frequently procrastinate on things that I actively enjoy doing and want to do. There are times when I want nothing more than to be doing something and I still procrastinate doing it. This applies to…
>The problem with complete automation is how accidents are perceived I don't think so. Airplane autopilot automates away the safe, boring parts of air travel, much like highway driving, so in that sense I agree with…
If I were to put wires in roads, it would be for wireless charging, so that autonomous taxis and delivery vehicles could keep driving forever (or at least until they require maintenance) without needing to stop to…
>I can’t imagine paying $40,000+ on a new car that isn’t a Tesla right now Aside from the fact that the Tesla is not available where I live, if I was only going to own one car, it would not be a Tesla. A Tesla (or any…
To a certain extent I agree. I had already written at length in another post about this topic, but my opinion is that what we think of as a "car" right now will never be fully autonomous. I see the future diverging into…
>This simply is a misconception and myth perpetuated by uneducated people I think it's less of a misconception and more of the fact that people whom stimulants noticeably calm down are a lot rarer than people with ADHD,…
