Is set basically syntactic sugar for deepcopying a struct, mutating the specified field, and then returning that deepcopy? Seems like it could be quite slow.

I’m not doubting you, but the vast majority of ideas people have for games are largely derivative and could quite easily be implemented in Unity.

There is an underlying precarity in the academy that is so deep it almost feels like a natural part of science. This is part of what makes reform so difficult. Early on, rocking th…

It seems to me that something like eLife's model is the best solution to this [0]: you still have a minimal amount of curation, but generally if a paper is written well enough and …

This behavior and macOS’s terrible default window management ultimately drove me back to Windows for serious work. I suppose I never fully adapted to the macOS way of doing things,…

I've arrived at something similar after going through a lot of different solutions: Evernote, Quiver notes, Apple Notes, Logseq, Tana: now I just keep everything in one big Journal…

I don’t disagree with you that life can seem bleak in the present, but people have brought children into the world under much harder conditions. There is something particular about…

I recently decided to open up Edge and see how it was, given that it is the only browser on Windows which features hardware isolation [0]. Though it seems like this feature is depr…

There's an arcade near me that has a functioning Battlezone cabinet. The use of a periscope in combination with the 3D graphics is so genius.

The relevant peer-reviewed preprint, from eLife [0]. It is worth reading the peer reviews (spoiler: they're brutal) [1]. [0]: https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/89106 [1]…

Have been really enjoying Brogue lately. Besides the difficult, turn-based gameplay (decision making is more cerebral than reactive), I think ASCII graphics are part of what makes …

Yes. Say today the mouse engages in 3 behaviors (groom, walk around edge of enclosure, then dart across it) but tomorrow spends the whole day huddled in the corner (1 behavior, not…

I agree with you about it being broken. We’re so focused on grades because they are a believed to be an important part of the credentialing process for getting jobs. An ideal learn…

I disagree, I think it will provide him with a great foundation for college. As great as online learning is, I don’t think it’s the same as taking a class that you go to multiple t…

I don’t know who she is, but you don’t need to be neuroscientist or a statistician to see how laughably bad that correlation claim is.

I haven't switched due to finding the $10/month subscription too steep at the moment, but I concur that the quality of search results is high. Often higher than Google actually. Sa…

Well, it’s unfortunately true. White women have by far been the greatest beneficiaries of DEI efforts. Of the POC that have benefited from these programs, many come from wealthy fa…

Took about 10 minutes to set up, and it's working great. Thanks!

It is so noticeable how different they are in speed. I’ve worked in Sublime for many years now (and continue to for most projects) but will switch to VSCode whenever I want to hack…

What a sad human being they must be.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to not just recommend an iPhone to the average person with privacy/security concerns. Sure, you can tell them to go the GrapheneOS route, but …

I've been learning Go recently and it's been such a pleasure, particularly for 2D gamedev (with ebitengine.org). I don't think I've gone from reading the spec to being able to read…

This looks pretty great. I’ve been meaning to get back into RCT2. Does OpenRCT2 _feel_ like the original?

_elaborate_ being the keyword here. Taking notes is not the same thing as constructing a zettelkasten system with which to take notes.

It’s no wonder that it takes us many months of training to get monkeys to perform simple saccade-based tasks.
