The other day Gemini gave me the correct answer, but cited an outdated Reddit thread which basically said the opposite.

I can buy that argument, basically what you are saying is that the intention is that you need to keep yourself "two bad pieces" ahead all the time. It caters to a more hardcore audience, which is totally fine :) Thanks for the dis

Thanks for the answers! I just want to point out that I don't think a reminder to use powers is enough. Right now you can lose on the next piece after using a power since it resolves it before you get the chance, which feels unfair. I

Very nice job, got hooked immediately! Some feedback/thoughts: 1. I don't think the current approach to difficulty is fun, its just feels limiting without any interaction or ways to turn it into an advantage. Some other ideas woul

Great idea, simple and effective. Tiny bit of feedback: seems like some listings use "unit count" for the number of balls, look at the most expensive listing for an example. Annoyingly the second most expensive balls have the numb

I think what people usually mean is "scary" or "it's easy to mess up". Git is very easy to use until you mess up, then it can become complicated, and certain actions may have devastating consequences. Two examples f

That article has no real arguments for the bias. And if you are trying to make a point, at least to to cite a somewhat neutral source, Elliott Abrams is very pro-Israel. You could also argue that for such as small country Israel has managed

Same story for me at a game studio bought by Microsoft. It was simply not worth the hassle. As an employee I still had to sit through the same customer support as anyone else, talking to some person at an Indian call center with a bad line.

I hate standups, but I also hate no standups since most people are unable to grab people and sync when needed. Currently my team has two morning meetings, first the forced full team one which is 100% useless since it's just status repo

First thought when reading the title was that it will look very fragile and clumsy when walking (even real birds do) and that was confirmed by the first video. What's the purpose of actually mimicing bird legs and feet? Why not use som

I agree that making an absolute statement like that is not great. But surely, if you understand the concept, you also know that it's way too common for extroverts having zero understanding that some people need to be alone to recharge.

I shared your opinion until I attended my first funeral as an adult. They are very important for the grieving process, at least to me. That doesn't mean much money needs to be spent, I've only been to scaled down funerals where th

In jazz it's more common to see multiple recordings of the same song by the same artist. Bill Evans recordings of Autumn Leaves opened up my mind for exploring this.

That's the only type of test I know for sure has value, which makes them easy to write. At work I feel a certain pressure to test more or less everything, but personally I much prefer a "common sense"-approach: Writing tests

Greenlight has not been a thing for 7 years or so, you can just pay a fee and publish your game.

I hope that if they manage to wrestle your retro games from you that you would explore some indie games instead. There are many small companies that make high quality games, usually in the spirit of popular retro games.

I thought about something similar today. My kid (2.5 years) watches some stuff on Netflix which is translated to Swedish from English. It's very obvious that the voice over and subtitles are done by different teams/companies, beca

Similar on guitar with bends I think. I feel like using the index finger is very awkward, I use the middle finger or ring finger (when what I'm playing allows it) rather than the index finger. Typically with the next finger behind to g

Very touching and beautiful. Just now, this year, I started taking pictures of my parents waving me away on the platform.

Not even a little! I can get nostalgic, sure, but I wouldn't want it to be part of my everyday experience.

I use the two hour return policy on Steam to make sure I avoid paying for bad games (and get out before I spend too much time on it as well)

Very cool to see someone actually making a game in their hobby engine! Regarding the asset prefetching, you mention that they are loaded lazily. Maybe I'm misunderstanding but to me prefetching and lazy loading are the opposite (i.e. y

The important part here is that it's at the browser level, IMO. Then it's the user's choice to either reject/accept all by default or get prompted once per page. I'd guess that 99.9% want to set it globally and neve

I feel really dumb, but I have never even noticed the boats. In the reversed I see them very clearly, but in the original the wave is completely dominating the view (now I see the boats of course, but my focus is completely on the wave by d

Yeah I agree with this, it's a very good point. Of course a real law needs more narrow wording. The spirit of it should be more about not allowing companies to have different means for subscribing and unsubscribing. Then there can be a

Yes, that's true and it's good for those who know about it. It's not enough though, companies still have super easy sign ups and then refer to call customer service to unsubscribe (usually the case with cell phone plans for e
