Heh! I remember getting shit about this early in my career because of a 3-star commit, because wtf is wrong with someone who needs a pointer to a pointer to a pointer? But it wasn'…

I have this map, and we spent a LOT of time pondering it when we were making Civilization 3! (I was lead programmer on it way back when.)

Hey, I love the recent UI update! Thanks so much!

Looking forward to this change! I am constantly switching to the wrong piece by clicking on the piece I want when it's already selected. Another thing that would help me is if it s…

This book sent me into a four-year-long depression and existential crisis. Best book I ever read. I guess.

It builds on the Peace War, and I'd read that first. (But also, both books are fairly short, much smaller than Fire Upon the Deep.)

But maybe with proper pathfinding and better terrain generation? :)

Strong +1 for the Waking Up app. (I also ready the Waking Up book, and found it to be quite hit-or-miss for me. But the app is just wonderful.)

Not disagreeing, but it's also correct on some levels.

Thank you!

Well that sure looks similar: https://pine.fm/music/ChordGear I rotated the inner ring to capture the sense that (for example) Amin shares two notes with Cmaj and 2 notes with Fmaj…

My forties were _so far away_ in my teens, like impossibly far away. But on this side of it, it really doesn't seem like all that long ago. Time isn't the same over here.

I don't know if qnt's suggestions are the right ones for you or not (that's for you to decide), but you know what? I believe in your ability to make a better life for yourself. You…

Same thing for fossil fuels, CFCs, and leaded gasoline, right? Turns out they were fine all along.

It's true, but I don't think this has anything to do with decriminalization. Covid and the months of protests and Portland becoming a target for Proud Boys and the like, those are …

Seems like a disproportionate number of these comments are about using the vegan analogy. So setting aside offense or ethics, do you think it was a good idea to go with this analog…

"vegan / not-vegan" is a false and harmful dichotomy "meat-based" vs "plant-based" is a spectrum we are all on; no reason to make it all-or-nothing

For real. Also, why are some of the links struck-out?

When we (like, nearly everyone except maybe Wolfram) talk about intelligence, we aren't talking about computational complexity. We're talking about the ability to learn, and to app…

Or require CVS to disclose on each receipt how much of the bill goes towards subsidizing the other 2 meters of receipt paper.

True, and there are lots of these (Bayes's theorem, Bresenham's line drawing algorithm, Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm all spring to mind). But I kind of assume that it's becau…

Yes, cannot push/deploy. Also can't view https://help.heroku.com/UMAUQ4UF/why-am-i-seeing-application... because it says I'm not logged in, but also I can't log in. Also, why do I …

Latest Chrome, macOS 12.1, using the trackpad The scrolling is awful: feels laggy and... squishy? oily? really hard to describe, but it's horrible. Also, it feels like the scrollin…

link? I'd love to see it!

While I'm not necessarily a Sam Harris fan in general, I am a huge fan of his Waking Up app. It's approachable, serene, sacred (but also no-nonsense), and really just beautiful. An…
