Just it of curiosity, did you finish GoT?

It's so bad I never wanna rewatch it nor do I anticipate the books anymore. The end made me totally be over it and only sometimes complain about being pissed off at last few seasons and especially the last one, like I am now.

Hell we've been stuck at home for almost the entire year and I've never seen or heard anyone saying something along the lines of "I'm gonna rewatch GoT".

I did some perf profiling on Notion. Their JS just takes a long time to do basic things (even interpreting keystrokes)

Seeing VSCode (which is a web tool) respond insanely fast for keystrokes and code completion makes me realize (amongst Microsoft products, Vscode is a gem - they’ve done a rare thing which is to make a complex performant web app that does editing really well)

All this negativity around BMW and no one even mentions the word "money pit"?

Besides the shitty anti-consumer practices, besides the lack of turn signal usage from average BMW drivers, these cars are still trash unless you're leasing because they are absolute money pits.

Even the Germans in germany who own BMWs and religiously take care of them will have to deal with ultra expensive repairs and problems that one wouldn't find on a Toyota or Lexus.

Germans over-engineer their cars. There are 10 bolts on an engine in a place where a competitor would use two Kinda cool though in a schadenfreude way, because BMW drivers are insufferable about "the ultimate driving machine" right up until the first repair bill comes and then they're suddenly much more interested in japanese naturally aspirated engine vehicles...

Im not arguing about teacher vs app in the most generic sense...but one can spend 30 mins a day with an app on wireless earphones and get to a pretty decent State for playing is worth it.
I assume the downvotes are coming from people who do this? Help me out, cause there's something I've always been curious about:

If you are walking down the street drinking a Starbucks or eating a candy bar and you finish, do you leave the empty cup or wrapper in someone else's bin too?

Genuinely curious... I've always brought my own garbage home with me, or to the next public bin. What do you do when it's not trash day?

I usually quickly read links and comments on topics that interest me less while I read more in-depth links and comments on topics that interest me.

However, I have noticed that often, comments to links that are not very interesting (for me) begin to follow a different and tortuous path that often makes the comments section unexpectedly interesting even for less interesting topics.
Your first sentence is all that’s needed here. My LAST sentence is the most important in the comment.
I understood what he meant to say (divisible by zero with no remainder - that is, modulus of zero) it was just the equation was surprising. It was technically correct but not useful in context.
Otherwise 16/2=0 would fit as well. So figured it was worth clarifying in case anyone else was surprised too. :)
You asked my pain point. Sorry.

I've yet to use a good video editor (I've tried iMovie and Windows Movie Maker). They both kinda suck. I would like more "tracks" to drop stuff in and have the app assume what 99% of users are trying to do. Lots of Right click context menus are awesome too.

I would say the game is very much like a CLI - you might at first recoil at the visual style, but almost immediately you understand why - there's going to be a LOT of stuff on the screen, and your little simple man and his simple stuff leads to a simple way of assaying what is happening where.

I would say to enjoy the game you really have to play it to the point where you build robots. Factorio is a game that is amazing for many reasons, but to me the main one is exponential growth.

At a certain inflection point you can basically tear down everything you've ever built by hand, and have robots recreate it all in a minute or two.

The combination of blueprints and robots turn the game from some tedium to a game purely of mind and very little tedium.
Yes, very odd for a religion based on the premise their founder is literally God incarnate, could work miracles, levitated into the sky, walked through walls, said his followers will do even greater things, and can secure his followers eternal life. Pretty inexplicable why they have all these other nutty beliefs about members of his movement. I see where you are coming from.
Core Security Concepts vs. I – Security Explained Podcast
I really agree with this. In areas you are an expert in you quickly learn that reddit is the land of the enthusiast or the expert beginner across all fields. It feels like a lot of people on there internalize the mainstream advice, but not the fundamentals or reasoning behind the advice. What I really want is somewhere where I can find the true expert/professional recommendations and advice. Curious if anyone knows of great places like that online for things like cooking, programming, technology, music production, etc.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Both released this year, both with much hype. No disappointment on both.

But regarding Cyberpunk, we should be fair. Witcher 3 wasn't the beloved Wircher 3 from today at release either. It had also problems and took it's time to ripe. People forget it.

Similar think happend at No Mans Sky. Released to early, and still grew in a fantastic game after all the shitstorms. Some games just need longer to satisfy the hype.

That's a business persons qualifier for success, it's not a product persons qualifier for success.

Steve Jobs spent his days thinking about how to make the best computer or phone.

Really? I honestly can’t express how truly depressing and miserable your comment is. Self deprecating to use another language incorrectly to “humble” yourself? Seems pretty obviously racist. It’s like saying “Ching Chong China virus” and calling it self-deprecating. Petty fucking gross.

Wish I had the confidence of a white person to never think about my affect on others... or what language can do. Let alone to get paid like one since I get to put up with ignorant shit like this on the daily.
Exactly, having a professional do it not only is more expensive, but can be more time consuming and annoying.
Someone has to provide a market. That person has to do it profitably. I am assuming that this is possible, otherwise it would not be possible to play the game. My reasoning could of course be off. Could you elaborate?

I think it’s mostly that they are on a dark background honestly.

> Imagine a new trilogy made by Filoni and Favreau - they would absolutely kill it.

This is all I've been thinking throughout the series. The writing is damn good, the character development is on point, it's not forceful (no pun intended) or disingenuous in trending social themes, cinematography is amazing, great casting, it's immersive in keeping to canon. It's something you can point to and say, "That's Star Wars".

One could only wish those two get a shot at making the full lengths.
Solo was not bad either, and honestly Revenge of the Sith is a great story too.
The point is that things like AI can multiply the effect of any human bias. Humans were fundamentally just "bad" after as before the invention of the machine gun (technically mostly modern artillery, but I'm being poetic), but there probably wouldn't have been as many dead at the Somme without it.

We are seeing every day how AI can be used to censor and suppress, that means we need to be increasingly systematic in how we approach biases both in practice and as a concept (the latter aimed really at those who apply political dogma to what is ultimately a scientific question).
>I've seen with my own eyes people claiming that 0 is odd.

Then again, most any number can be odd -- in the appropriate context. Behold:

"Alexander was a great general. Great generals are forewarned. Forewarned is forearmed. Now, four is an odd number of arms for a general to have. Four is also an even number. And the only number that is both odd and even is infinity. Therefore, Alexander, the great general, had an infinite number of arms."

Nobody is talking about it anymore now 6 months later, so I'd say it did not live up to the hype.

> I think that dance is actually a very universal human thing and that there’s a strange alienation from dance and our bodies going on in western culture, especially for men.

This is kind of what I mean. Humans are very diverse, and I don't think dance is actually a universal thing. (You could probably argue it overall as a species, but not for every individual.)

Because of this, too often the attitude is "well you WOULD like dancing if you just loosened up and stopped worrying about what people think!". I'm sure that's true for some people, but definitely not all.

I realize, based on your last paragraph, that you're not the type of person to try to force someone into dancing. It's just similar to the line of reasoning I've encountered when other people can't seem to understand that I don't like it. It's like they can't compute the idea that it's just not something I enjoy. So many people seem to assume that the only possible reason is "a label you've internalized as a quality of yourself", and it comes off as condescending.
I’m no teacher so I can’t tell you confidently what’s write or wrong. I definitely don’t practice those, they’re honestly kinda boring to me. My musical goal is more about getting a decent understanding of practical playing and theory through a book that does a bit of both (the older beginner is what it’s called) as well as finding our own songs to work through and use to learn about theory. The teacher who swears by tedious exercise like Hanon would probably disagree, but I really like it, and I feel like it’s still very productive!

The Last of Us 2. A lot of people were anticipating the game. And I'm surprised how many people hated it. Maybe to them, it didn't live up to the hype. But it lived up to the hype for me. I just finished the game and loved it.

Hah, 16:13 funny thing this world... Not that long ago I was at a job interview where they asked me to write a function that checks for a winner for 4-in-a-row. I gave a solution which used pretty much the exact same algorithm except in a 2-dimensional space. What was really cool imo that the solution fits in ~11-12 lines of python, even without using creature comforts like numpy.
Bad teachers are an issue, of course. But bad apps can be an issue too. No matter the method there's always the risk of not implementing it correctly.

> their goals may not overlap with mine.

That's a matter of talking with the teacher and setting down the goals.

> Finally, not everybody learns in the same way and not everybody has your budget.

My point is not "I did classes and I'm good now", is "I didn't do enough classes and now I see how that wasn't the best".

> I don't like the way you are all over this thread proclaiming the 'one true way'

If that's the way I'm coming across I'm sorry. My point is that there's more to music learning that people think (specially in HN, where I've seen really bad takes in some posts), and that they should be mindful that an app will not be a magic method. I've seen friends that had very high expectations and then got discouraged quickly. I prefer that people know what's ahead, and align the method to use with the expectations they have.
You can get all this functionality and more working beautifully with Android with Garmin watches. Mine lasts for many days on a charge (perhaps a week without activity tracking), has better sport tracking features, but the screen isn't quite as good. There are currently a few good deals on the Vivoactive 3, but also many higher end models available too.
As both a crummy programmer and crummy musician, I’d like to hear more about your perspective on how they differ.
The most non-sh shell I've seen in recent >10years is scsh which is a scheme shell. I don't know if anyone is working on a Basic shell today and you're right about your observation.

As a programming language, Basic was more suited to be a shell than DOS was suited to be a programming language. :) that's probably why I avoided learning dos batch programming like mad.

> Unlimited immigration is unsustainable (Europe can’t support 3bn people), so there have to be some limits.

If it were just about population, why is there no concern with natural population rise due to birth rates?

> Also, I value my culture (not in the “food & language” sense, but in “enlightenment values” sense), and have no interest in admitting more people who don’t value or respect this culture.

Surely then it would be possible to institute a "cultural test" where people who do agree with "enlightenment values" are free to immigrate. I also think it is incredibly questionable for europe to lay claim to "enlightenment values", as if those are a single unified system of values that belongs solely to europe and is matched by modern european states.
I was exactly in the same situation. And I would say ..if it wasn't for COVID, I wouldn't have landed on this.

learning using an app is low pressure, very pleasant, very game-y. Im at the point, where the game has gotten me interested enough that I wandered on the internet towards "Taubman method for eliminating RSI", etc.

I strongly recommend it for kids even. Im pretty sure this will get me flamed by people who play piano already, but I'm willing to bet money that for non-musical parents, they would be pleasantly surprised that their kids are doing something other than playing videogames...and kinda learning something awesome while stuck at home.

My understanding is Schengen is about physical infrastructure and managing visas for third parties, and the EU about the actual rights for member state citizens. The UK was never in Schengen, and that meant that a French person coming to the UK could be stopped at the border, but they would be let through on the basis of rights enshrined in the EU.

RISC-V is probably going to be the Linux-Desktop of the future. Ultimately I think a lot of people hyping don't necessarily grasp that the ISA itself doesn't have a huge amount to do with a CPU in your pocket.
That's absolutely true, at least historically, but unfortunately it's not the full picture.

Take for example the 'Ultrabook' branding. It's an Intel trademark, and for a few years that word was _everywhere_. However, to get the shiny badge on your system you had to give a lot of control to Intel over the design and characteristics [1]. That's not to say AMD doesn't do the same thing to a degree - They own the term "APU" and will never let Intel refer to an i7 with 'Iris Xe Graphics' as an APU, Never.

The point is that Intel for a long time had leverage over most of the PC industry and used it to get exclusivity over certain parts of the market.

A while back, someone had the idea of posing that question to Harvard graduates at their graduation - and also some professors - and got a bunch of wrong answers, for the most part confidently expressed. There used to be a video of it readily available, but someone seems to have used copyright put a lid on it.

Then again, not knowing the cause has almost no practical consequences for most people. I doubt that knowing the answer would make them less susceptible to most false claims about climate change, for example.

> Cyberpunk’s reviews paint it as a tire fire. I think it’s a fun game, but it doesn’t live up to the expectation - it’s not the next Witcher 3.

You have a short memory though. Witcher 3 was also deeply criticized for several aspects when it was just out as well before being recognized as a massive game a few months later. I'd say you should probably wait half a year to evaluate Cyberpunk properly.
