Sometimes I let people explain something I already know because they either explain it better or add more detail. Even a well described reminder is useful and interesting if told w…

... when that question of should I leave becomes repetitive enough then the answer is usually then yes but not yet . The not yet part is really the warning that you need to prepare…

I mean... Yes? But honestly, if you can't pick up the basics of factorio in a few minutes you're less qualified than the nine-year-olds and sixty-year-olds I've taught programming …

I've moved on from gamification and thoroughly removed all such interventions from everything. I found the extrinsic nature of the mechanisms wasn't helping and were creating a dis…

I think the usual retort is that at any moment and for any inexplicable reason your entire infrastructure can be deleted for some reason you barely know let alone comprehend. This …

Last time I looked this didn't have networking. Is that still the case? Anyone able to explain why networking was left out? Why I ask? I've seen a bunch of projects on GitHub for i…

I'd be interested in the backstory to this. (Like everyone else I guess) Seems like I dodged a bullet. I was looking at this a few months ago. Decided to play with love2d instead. …

Lazy yet stealing jobs. Yup that makes sense. The better argument is that the more immigration there is the more difficult it becomes to provide various social programs. Difficult …

Three paragraphs and you dismiss it with a sentence. Since you're criticising I think you could have done better. The asking questions approach is a great way to dig out the weeds …

But water freezes and gets bigger. It's inflationary! So in real terms they're paying people less AND company exec bonuses are well beyond reasonable. Yet any argument towards a pa…

Recent wars didn't exactly help with funding health sciences. Seems to be a few questions around our specie's priorities as of late. Still fighting over dirt and who has the highes…

I don't think we need to muddy the water by saying bad software. Just write the word software. It's multiple layers upon layers. This isn't automatically bad. There's so much more …

Ah yes. The burn your bridges technique.

So, talk is now done. Great. What's next? Let's see: Google speak. Google yak. Google chatter. Google gossip. Google watercooler. Google friends. Google chums. Google getogether. I…

This puts into light how the usd works. And how inflationary money printing is. Every dollar printed might as well be seen as debt or burden. That's an interesting aside. More rele…

I'd say everyone has been a student so they all have an opinion. Its ripe for bikeshedding. That's the reason imho.

What I found interesting is the iterative process. Failure is simply experience you carry forward to inform future decisions. Its not necessarily a permanent judgement that cripple…

If your crypto isn't actually in your own wallet you are really just someone's creditor. The whole point of crypto wallets is that you don't need such central businesses to hold yo…

If there's some more depth or otherwise more detail then you should consider writing an article or blog post. Sounds interesting.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/StacklessPython Stackless Python allows you to run hundreds of thousands of tiny tasks, called "tasklets", in a single main thread. These tasklets can …

Perhaps a little later in the boot process perhaps? Its likely possible. After all, the unreal engine does have at least some rudimentary 3d graphics support.

I've found that there's a kind of person who excels at academic pursuits but isn't so great elsewhere. Especially outside academia. I was judged harshly at school. Fast forward yea…

Which is kinda weird on HN. Plenty of startups on here and plenty of startup people. At the same time I can see why blatant adverts on here would get old fast. They aren't usually …

These for me are the socialising and interrelationship games. Its part of playing the tribe game. Fwiw: We're playing starcraft as well on weekends. Lan party style. Interludes of …
