Lightning doesn't work because it either leads to a chaos of routing that doesn't scale or it ends up centralized and you lose the point of bitcoin in the first step.

And don't bother coming up with hand wavy explanations of how it could work, some day. People have been talking about Lightning for years, literally billions of dollars have been poured into the "tech", the fact that even bitcoin enthusiasts barely ever use it is all the proof I need.

I wonder how many more years of empty promises we'll have to suffer through before people accept that cryptocurrencies are a very good pyramid scheme with a thick layer of technobabble around it.
Agreed. It seems like a lot of people don't understand that dark mode is an accessibility issue for many people. If I couldn't use dark mode for the majority of my apps, I probably couldn't be a developer. Even with a monitor with a blue light filter and carefully adjusting the brightness and contrast to be as gentle on my eyes as possible, some days, my eyes are sensitive enough that even 15 minutes on light mode apps causes blurry vision and headaches. Dark mode I can use all day, no problem.
It's not just laziness. My elderly parents aren't technically inclined, and are quite stubborn to learn.

How do you define misanthropy? A quick google search says the following: "Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species, human behavior or human nature." That applies to me, which is why I dislike being around people that aren't loved ones, and why I've enjoyed the lockdown world where extra systems have emerged to keep people away from me. People with autism may or may not feel similarly, I can't say. I don't have problems socializing, I just dislike people.
> You welcome a world where affluent elites eath high quality food and everyone else eats shit?

That's a bit of a strawman there. Improving food tech does not need to be a zero sum game. Can it not be that food quality will in general improve? Much like how access to clean water (at least in the Western world) has improved a lot compared to past centuries.

I probably misunderstood.

> Twitter has said that it expects a majority of its staff to spend some time working remotely and some time in the office. That's despite its boss Jack Dorsey initially saying that employees could work from home "forever".

> And Google rejigged its timetable for bringing people back to the workplace. As of 1 September, employees wishing to work from home for more than 14 days a year would have to apply to do so.

Would you mind sharing the details of what you did during the trip?
There's still hope. Reader Mode seems to be quite popular, and it could be extended until it becomes the user-styled way to view web sites.
The Go codebase I'm working on is terrible about mutation. structs get passed into functions which then may mutate them or pass them to yet another function which mutates them. Its impossible to understand what is going just by looking at the code.

I think there is a fine line between 'rude' and 'appropriate' in this case.

- Simply stopping to respond to requests without signaling in any way, that you are not interested in continuing the interaction is rude (aka ghosting).

- Signaling even just once that you would not like to continue the interaction (as clearly and polite as possible) and ignoring the other side from that point on is appropriate.

Even though you might not 'owe anyone' anything, humans typically have socially accepted behavior patterns. So the argument is less about what you must do and more about what the majority of people around you consider good style. However, these things might differ between cultures and social circles.
You know exactly what you're doing. It wasn't a big deal then, and it shouldn't be a big deal now. It's cancel culture and you're participating in it.

There's a reason that my life goal is to escape into hermitude: I have zero interest in being around or seeing other humans unless they're loved ones.

DonHopkins on April 12, 2020 | on: Enemy AI: chasing a player without Navigation2D or...

One trick is to spread the computation out over time, if you don't need to do it all at at once every frame. Since the enemies don't move that fast, a bit of delay might be good enough, depending on what you're tracking.

SimCity has several layers like pollution, land value, etc, which slowly diffuse over time. But it only does that computation every so often, not every frame. It has a 16 phase simulation clock, and it scans the cells of the map in eight stripes over eight steps, then scans different layers like taxes, traffic and rate of growth decay, power, pollution and land value, police coverage and crime, population density, fire coverage and disasters, and the RCI valves. (That made it possible to run on a C64!)

Chaim Gingold's SimCity Reverse Diagrams show how the different phases of "Simulate()" perform different kinds of analysis over time, and how the different map layers interact with each other.

The biggest issue with the Bible compared to similar ethics oriented literature is that it doesn't do a good job of providing explanations for why things are immoral. This makes it very difficult to correct the mistakes that the authors made and update them to the modern era.

The best example of this is probably the kosher rules in the Old Testament that banned shellfish. Those rules might have made a lot of sense back when they were first written (back when seafood was very risky due to poor refrigeration), but are probably not very useful now. The issue is that because the Bible doesn't explain that reasoning, it's not possible to easily update those rules to adapt to modern food safety techniques.
Oh, I definitely understand the mindset behind the decision, I just feel it's worthwhile to relax that kind of razor-sharp focus when millions of people are using your tool.

Russia has the right to defend its national security within its means.

Putin couldn't do a better job of creating and installing anti-Russian governments if he were deliberately trying to do so.

It's not about who Russia likes or dislikes - if a government acts in a way that could harm Russia why shouldn't they do something about it.

Not using, but building. It significantly lowers the barrier of entry for new customers to use the tech.

What's important for me is that users can ramp up from drag 'n drop to coding by hand. Otherwise they might just end up feeling stuck with the tool.

I'd rather see users use and then discard our tool once they ramped up their skills, in favour of then just writing code using our tech. Much better than getting stuck forever in our competitors' rather limited toy editors. :)

Any possibility for an option to list/read/explore the deuterocanonical books, i.e. for translations that have them, e.g. the RSV[1]?

Also, there are freely accessible texts of the Knox translation[2] and Douay-Rheims (Challoner revision of 1752)[3] online, the latter from multiple sources:

The Douay-Rheims (Challoner) text is certainly in the public domain.

There is a pretty funny social psychology study [1] where someone asks to cut in line to use the copy machine at a library. If they request to cut in line, 61% of the time, the request is accepted. If they make the same request, but add "because I'm in a rush", the request is accepted 94% of the time. If they make the same request but instead say "because I have to make some copies", the request is accepted 93% of the time.

For some reason, the "fake because", even if it is nonsensical is an effective psychological hack.

> Hard work is often touted as the key American virtue that leads to success and opportunity. And there’s lots of evidence to suggest that workers buy into the belief: For example, a recent study found that Americans work 25 percent more hours than Europeans, and that U.S. workers tend to take fewer vacation days and retire later in life. But for many, simply working hard doesn’t actually lead to a better life.

I’d argue quite strongly that working more hours, taking less vacation, and retiring later is the definition of a worse life.

That’s a completely different issue than what parent suggested. Terminals aren’t using more resources, they are just going slow - on any hardware, due entirely to lack of devs engineering for perf. Since Casey’s posts, a bunch of terminals and editors have upped their game, started using the GPU for rendering, and are now both faster and more efficient.

> allocating several gigs of ram to embed a web renderer […] is the very height of inefficient idiocy.

No doubt theres bloat around, but I think you don’t understand web browser allocation strategies. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are allocating enormous chunks of ram for both caching purposes, and rendering efficiency. It’s extremely difficult to know how much memory is really needed for any given app, you cannot make the assumption that the RAM reported for any given app or page has anything to do with how much the page itself asked for.

You also lack justification for calling memory use idiocy if you aren’t running out of memory. As long as there is free memory in the system, it’s fair game, and does not represent inefficiency.
