Highly addictive drugs destroy lives and families. The little girl who’s father has a heroin addiction sure didn’t get any say in his choice, but she’s affected by it. The citizens of communities ravaged by addiction all suffer, whether the

I can logically understand why this is a good thing. I enjoy running and biking myself. I often walk to places instead of drive during the rare times it’s a viable option. Despite that understanding, I still don’t like it. It’s so incredibl

Maybe a silly question, but how can I find this “Python 3” game? Googling just shows tutorials on making a game in Python 3. Searching “Python 3” on steam doesn’t turn up anything. Edit: Smh I genuinely thought there was a game named Python

That just means it’s about the opinion of the government, which isn’t much better in my opinion (and is arguably worse).

> knowingly > exploitable > vulnerable None of these are cut and dry. How vulnerable does someone have to be before you can exploit them? How harmful does the behavior have to be before it’s exploitation? What is “knowingly” in an

Displaying ads has nothing to do with GDPR. They can still display ads that aren’t targeted, they just can’t save your information for more targeted advertising.

I had a similar experience! I can’t recall if it was strep or what, but I do remember a particularly nasty illness from which I never really feel I recovered from neurologically.

Wow! I wonder what the reason behind this is?

I can tell why it’s a problem for working artists. I never suggested otherwise. What I disagreed with was the premise that it’s immoral or inherently wrong. A problem posing a difficulty to a certain group of difficulty doesn’t have any bea

I disagree with you, simply for the fact that artists have been learning from one another for thousands of years. We can see a clear timeline of art and it’s progression throughout human history, and it’s often clear how a later work took i

It drives the average wage down as well, as now employers have almost twice as many potential candidates and therefore don’t have to offer as competitive pay.

You’re speaking from the position of someone clearly privileged enough to afford all the services you’d like to continue using. There are vast swaths of t people for whom an additional monthly subscription to watch YouTube, have access to e

Hey Michael! Love the project. Is it open-source, per chance? And if not, could it be?

The fact that you felt the freedom to part and fuck off until 26 speaks to a degree of privilege and freedom that your safety net of parental wealth provided you that you don’t even seem aware of.

I wouldn’t share that with people. It just makes you sound like you were a privileged entitled bum that took advantage of your less privileged friends hospitality. Because that’s essentially what you were. Hopefully no longer.

The first sentence of your initial comment I responded to was ‘It would be great if such "creative" works were simply impossible to monetize.’

by CodeSgt 3y ago
If not for the ability to monetize, there would be a small fraction of the total available work out there. From music, to movies, to video games. And for many, the quality we come to enjoy just wouldn’t be possible. Do you think we’d have a

Eh, I could definitely see the artists losing. The most obvious scenario that comes to mind for me is, imagine an independent artists launching their (book/film/album/etc) and the same day someone with more resources and expe

That’s just survivorship bias (or perhaps, the opposite). You don’t hear the happily ever after stories because they don’t tend to reach out to the media after a few years and say “Hey! FYI I’m still rich and my life is perfect.”. They’re o

Anything in excess is bad. Having a couple drinks throughout your week is fine, going on a bender and downing 20 drinks one night per week isn’t. Having a snickers bar is fine if you make it a rare reward, eating several every day isn’t. Et

I have the base model $1k M2 air and it functions excellently as a development machine. Both web dev for work (running multiple react clients, node servers, Pg instances, docker containers, etc all at the same time), and for basic game dev

The implication of your comment is that poor people should just stay at home and look at pictures on the internet instead of occasionally traveling and experiencing things for themselves. If this is your perspective, you’re either incredibl

Wow, thanks for providing those examples! I’ve been using TypeScript for a while and haven’t ever taken care to notice when the type system is failing me.

Could you provide some examples of where it doesn’t (assuming strict = true)?

That was never the claim. The claim was that it helps with brain fog and mental clarity in general, not specifically that caused by long-COVID, which had been proven to be true. And a cursory look at the literature for PEM[1] will show you
