    Agreed. Even some of the latest IR missiles (AIM-9X I believe) also include a visual seeking component to compliment the IR seeker, and try to identify aircraft types based on thei…

    God I hate the emoji and checkmark usage so much. It feels so try-hard cutesy. Just give me normal bulleted items, I can read.

    I hear what you're saying, especially around just moving to iOS not being a better argument. However with > And if I'm already this motivated I'm certainly motivated enough to wait…

    But definitely not nuts.

    I was thinking about this too, and I think there are two different views you can take. 1. Do you want to work IN the games industry? 2. Do you want to make and ship your own games?…

    I'd also add: - OP takes rectifying what they deem to be deficiencies seriously, and actively work to fill those gaps. At first I was reading the article thinking "wtf, that can't …

    My take on it is more around domain speciality, than a purely technical focus. I'm a web developer / designer-lite (amongst other things in previous lives), and have embedded mysel…

    I suspect part of it is also just visibility. You can't be hired, if people don't know about you. Being active in a community gives pretty large visibility surface area, while stil…

    Socials being flooded across the board feels weird, but it's also how network effects are _supposed_ to work. I just hate the fact that I feel jaded and cynical about this as my de…

    Yeah I'm not following what they mean there.

    I think it's easier for kids to get hold of a phone at a younger age and become accustomed to it, and don't realise the jank / frustration it introduces when doing certain tasks. I…

    I suspect it's the optics of it. If you can fly people around the moon, then landing people on the moon is a more reasonable next step. I agree that it may not be entirely logical,…

    Wildly disagree with that. I think the overwhelming majority of people want simple, peaceful existence, and that the 'lack of meaning' can be solved through deeper shared community…

    So I'm not super well versed with Roblox, but I'd assumed it was aimed at a younger audience? So wouldn't the above numbers indicate that you have a growing younger gamer populatio…

    It can be. And it also places strain on the people around you too if the kid isn't settled and easy to travel with. Not the kids fault, but last time I travelled, there was a coupl…

    Definitely hard to say. I get being angry and frustrated, and circumstances surrounding being a parent might not help at all. For instance my wife and I have no family to help out.…

    Very cool. Reminds me of stumbleupon, which I lost many hours to back in the day. Curated discovery is one of biggest gripes with modern platforms like youtube - discovering someth…

    Definitively, if Trump gets voted in for a third term.

    I wouldn't say it's not really a bad thing, I think it's a very good thing. There are many people now making incredibly niche products that have very good lives - making more than …

    I think that delivery services give you bigger market, but not intrinsic scale. You're still limited by kitchen size, staff numbers, and raw hours you can put into the food. You ca…

    I was expecting it to just dispense hand sanitiser gel straight onto the handle. I suppose this is a more practical take.

    Same feeling here, and I'm already getting frustrated with Windows pushing their crap into my OS. Definitely don't want even more of that. Beyond work I only use the PC for gaming …

    I could be wrong, but maybe you trying to shield yourself from these things also cuts you off from the good that's happening? There's a lot of bad things going on - but (and not sa…
