Unfortunately the site in general has gotten increasingly unhinged lately. One of those is a literal "well, actually" defending torture! I wish you'd stop playing this "I don't want to ban you, but I will ban you if

Simple sentences are great for simple ideas. Most video games, including most RPGs, only have simple ideas. You appear to have linked to an anime. We’re discussing video games.

Yeah if I’m being honest my position is pretty close to https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/03/video... but I know this is way too radical for HN.

Pokémon (most of them) have pretty good writing. Planescape Torment has ok “endcap of the airport bookstore fantasy shelf” writing. You’re making exactly the mistake I’m talking about. (Even narrative-heavy FPSs like Bioshock have an order

I find FPS writing is often a lot better, probably because there is a lot less of it. Yes, RPGs have a more narrative focus so more nuance to characters or whatever but you're asking a committee of 1-5 usually mid-tier writers to pum

This feels more like a defense for some mid like a Plato than a Wittgenstein or Kripke.

It also needs to be a method that isn’t pharmacologically complicated, because manufacturers and pharmacists refuse to be complicit in this today. That’s the main reason, and also a reason Alabama has botched so many executions in recent ye

The file format doesn’t matter one bit when the reading and authoring tools are shit and the editors can’t/don’t fix anything. And papers will generally have a lot fewer resources to deal with this than major book publishers, who have

Development time makes up a nearly immeasurable fraction of power resources outside of the tiniest teams.

The bar for epubs is so fucking low I have a hard time believing this matters at all. Just last week I bought a book set in the late Middle Ages which managed to transcribe all “þ” as “p”. Until publishers care about that stuff, none of the

I haven’t kept up but sad if so. Colbert was always at his best when he brought lots of himself to the show, in contrast with Stewart who was great at capturing public vibes.

by morelisp 3y ago
Awful. One of the best things about Stewart is that (I thought) he was smart enough to step out when he was done. Now it’s going to be an old tired man making out of touch japes about two even older tired men.

ping6 and ping4 are symlinks to ping on my system, and are equivalent to passing -4 or -6 to force a specific version. The default behavior negotiates either fine.

Also my thought - only 90m for a single non-SME to migrate a full stack across two hosting providers? Sounds pretty good for something so fundamental!

IMO that’s concomitant with the PMC since it’s the concrete moment workers stop thinking of themselves as workers and a big paycheck is sufficient to make people class-dumb, but I know that’s a contentious view.

One thing which immediately reveals the lie in this is that it pretends the counterculture was the only thing going on in the 60s and ignores the New Left, Civil Rights movements, various arts movements, the cementing of the MIC, the rise o

Those Sony backpacks are (probably, were) something. I had a Vaio backpack that lasted me from ages 17 to 22 as a "daily driver" laptop and general purpose bag, then 22 to 35 as a grocery and travel bag - though if I'm being
