But it’s not new. It’s a studio that made some great games and is now past its prime. Those same dollars could go towards new indie studios, and maybe some of them will be decent.

There’s too much overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest AIs.

Ads that cannot be skipped

I’ll mention it next time we share a hospital room.

IMHO it’s easier to quickly iterate with Python than with C++. If you aren’t even sure what you want and you’re just writing stuff, then Python is great. Is “4” true? Ofc it is.

Found the cis

I thought it was John Wilkes Booth.

Engineer at a tech startup. Extremely fast-paced and nearly everything is resolved in a day. My train commute enforces strict boundaries on my working hours. It’s like an episodic procedural TV show, except instead of finding a murderer I’m finding out why these widgets are wrong today.

We can’t put this boy in jail, he’s got his whole life behind him!

Which really ought to be a feature, IMO. And/or filter lists to which one could subscribe.

Echo chamber is the new cancel culture. More often than not, someone thinks we’ve never heard their very common and shitty opinion.

We can have civil arguments, without trolling.

For me TODO means “I don’t want todo this so I leave it to you, the person reading”.

The comic leaves out the whole “joining the right server and communities for you” part. If nobody tells you before joining, then you see a bunch of horrible stuff. If someone does tell you before joining, then it’s a daunting prospect.

There’s an interesting juxtaposition between the sort of person who wants to work in HR, and what HR is actually designed to be.

They’ll simply consult the AI, which uses weights you see, so there’s no saying why exactly you’re rejected. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a strong argument for voting on the wealth tax wording every year. If we leave it up to legislators, then they’ll “accidentally” leave in the loopholes.

That raises an interesting logistics question - is it worth making cheaper per unit naval drones, or better to just scale up quadcopters and focus on attacking oil production?

The Taft-Hartley Act, and other laws like it, have dramatically weakened American unions far below what’s necessary to overthrow anything. If your strike is too successful, then the government will declare a compromise on your behalf and end it.

Joining a union is a good idea, and there’s no reason why we can’t come up with a clever program to avoid restrictions on unions too. I’m just explaining why Americans have not simply organized.

I haven’t bought anything Sony since they put malicious software on their CDs.

This is probably a bad time to announce my new “predict turbulence” Turing test.
