Another tangent, I went on a trip to LA. The drive to airport was noisy, airport was noisy, airplane was noisy, city was noisy, air conditioner in room was noisy. This went on for the whole week. I didn't really notice. But when I got

Same! I did this in unity3d, but also want to add this to my remote tool. Where can I find the motivation? :) This is also a very handy idea...

Yes, I'm a big fan of Bret Victor's work. I share his Inventing on Principle talk on a near yearly basis. I've seen light table years ago and thought it looked really neat, but I haven't looked into it much as it wasn&#x

I love this. Probably because I've been thinking of similar ideas for what seems like the last decade, I just have coders block when it comes to actually implementing it. Seeing it (well something like it) actually implemented makes me

I believe pilot study here means: small-scale preliminary study, not vehicle pilots.

I don't remember that happening, I think I wasn't watching the news much during that period in my life. But I did hear about it in past year after reading Quinn's books and following some mental threads afterwards. Wild that

Ishmael or My Ishmael touches on this subject. Thank you for reminding me. I forget exactly, but, the basic idea is primitive people didn't have all these laws about what to do. They expected you to behave, and if you did not, the trib

I've used this technique quite a bit in the past, but often not enough. I work in games so a lot of problems are actual visual 2d or 3d problems. Things like: finding the closest valid object I can target at my given heading. Simple en

From the about: "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. "

Looks useful. Suggestion: as a non-paying user I don't immediately know what the chat tab does. You can find out under the pricing tab but it's not obvious where to find this information. Might be good to say what it does on the c

I think behaving as if there is no free will is such a change from how I was raised and how 99.99% of society believes and functions, would require some Buddha-level strength of will, which I don't possess. It's so different than

by MikeSchurman 3y ago
I don't believe in free will. I haven't really for about 20 years or so. However, I act as if I do, as I've always done. It's a habit I choose not to break. Changing to act as I believe would be too much for me to handle

Yeah that could possibly be it. If I run into again I could try clearing caches. And also wanted to mention that since firefox is what I use daily, of course I will mainly see issues there. If I used chrome daily perhaps I would see the opp

The news widget is terrible, and the sole reason I haven't switched to windows 11. I spent about 30m turning off news source after news source before giving up. Apparently there is an infinite supply of them. It's actually a probl

I think what they mean is that, someone knowing what is happening in the world, and being able to discuss those things, could be seen as them being part of a certain level/caste in society. Being able to discuss issues, being seen as i

This was on hacker news a few days ago but there wasn't much interest, which is surprising. Setting a data breakpoint, then rewinding time, then fixing the error in code (while game is running), hot-reloading code and continuing the ru

This seems like a "me too" comment, but I agree on family sharing being fairly poor for most (IMO) families. I still love steam, but I was really excited to share my library of 300 games with my son who just got a steam deck (like

I'm sure you're correct for a lot of metrics, but to say every metric is declining might be wrong. Homelessness is going up slowly but surely: https://www.statista.com/statistics/555795/estimated-number-.

Thanks John. I'm immediately excited by this project. I love the idea of alfred et. al. but there's always something lacking about them: it's difficult to do plugins, or they're done in a language I don't know, or t

You are correct, it is not true based on the study. What they asked to comment on was: "I feel burnt out from work" and 83% said at least "to a small extent". I suppose it depends how much "to a small extent" m

I know this is off topic, but how do people assess the risks of installing an extension like this? The permissions allow "access your data for all websites" which includes reading passwords you type into fields. This extension lo

I think if you watched 10% of a movie (which streaming platforms can track) and decided you didn't want to watch it, yeah. A good service provider would give you your money back. Would 1% of people take advantage of this and watch 10%

I've found the clipboard to be a highly flexible tool, that seems under-used. As an example, I've extended my game engine editor to draw any position in 3d that I have in the clipboard. So when problems happen and are displayed in

I sometimes see a similar thing when people are arguing. They sometimes use a different current definition of the same word, and don't even realize. Sometimes I would guess it's intentional. I can't think of a good example, b
