    Anywhere is where exactly? I've been thinking of where I could use it for like 10 minutes, and I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe a game engine or web services. It wouldn't ma…

    Yeah, when people say "dopamine hit" nowadays that can mean anything from serotonin to endorphins to even adrenaline. What they usually mean is simply an optimized experience. Opti…

    I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options". It helped me with some weird condition years ago which c…

    Recommendation to research something still can be useful. I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options"…

    Things like hospitals, airlines, 911, should have multiple systems with different software stacks and independent backends running in-parallel, so that when one infra goes down the…

    I've never seen a program running in kernel mode other than AV software. Pretty sure all stuff you listed doesn't. Asking admin permissions doesn't mean it's kernel mode software.

    Necropolis, Ziggurat... Imo the best games nowadays are often those that no one heard about. Popularity wasn't a good metric for a very long while. And thankfully games like "New W…

    It's okay if it's Quake, just don't suggest it to be used as a Postal level

    I think you get the wrong idea. What he basically says is that scientists mostly do science because they enjoy doing it, and everything else he says is a consequence of that. Peopl…

    I'll just save some quotes here since I really like them: > Kaczynski likened science to a “surrogate activity” that is “directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for t…

    Oh, so it's just a type alias for readability. Then it makes sense.

    Idk, I think it's extremely statistically rare coincidence for nominative typing to be a better default than structural. In other words, it's much more useful (by default) to have …

    Not really possible, because Record and Map aren't compatible at all. At best they both have something like `toString`. You'll need to define at least something like RecordFunctor …

    Another reason is that being a fan of less popular tech is heavily punishing to career and job hunting. Hell, it's quite a challenge to find a job even in React/JavaScript (took me…

    Are their metaverse developments open-sourced? Wouldn't it be meaningful to just give it to people, probably with a license like GPL? That would be such an extraordinary waste if a…
