Can you give an example where not using them 'inline' makes code harder to understand?

I love music (and am a musician), but I disagree that good music is scarce. Part of the issue here (among many others) is that music is fairly "evergreen", and certainly much more …

I frequently think just before committing/pushing, "Time to add some comments!" That doesn't mean the code is fully finished, but it does provide a clear point in time to add them …

I have a ritual of watching through my queue of Youtube videos (on many topics) when I am preparing and eating breakfast each morning. It works well. I've been able to churn throug…

I have thought about this phenomenon with regard to the internet a lot. Online it's easy to be exposed to videos and other content produced by people who are literally among the be…

I have started doing this on days I go to the gym (3x per week) and anecdotally it has positive effects on how I feel mentally and physically. (And these effects have lasted after …

Reminds me of this Inigo Quilez article on experimenting with rendering using rational numbers: https://iquilezles.org/www/articles/floatingbar/floatingbar....

The same controller pose can correspond to different arm positions, so VR games/apps that do IK are making a guess that is generally going to be somewhat inaccurate. I do like the …

It's also worth noting that it's possible to "just want" something for reasons that one isn't consciously aware of (e.g., feeling physically attracted to markers of health and fert…

There's nothing special about a job! If anything, I'd believe that someone who had the drive to do challenging activities on their own (and engage socially with others) is doing mo…

What about a headset (or glasses, contacts, whatever) that can provide anything from AR-style world annotations to a full VR experience, or anything in between? I agree that AR is …

Out of curiosity, what $4000 VR setup are you showing people?

Can vouch for this, a few years ago I broke my ankle and was on crutches. During that time I got my only non-5-star Uber ratings.

The same could be said even moreso about (wearable) AR - that the technology isn't there yet, especially at a price needed for mass adoption. I see VR and AR as different sides of …

Exactly. AR and VR are different sides of the same coin and will converge. I am certain that Facebook is investing so much into VR because of the ultimate promise of AR as a platfo…

Good point - pagerank is a query-independent signal which is harder to game, but the (very large) part of ranking that is query dependent was still very much gameable.

Yeah, my interpretation is that it's for situations where you would normally prefer to use a fake email (joeblow238998324@gmail.com) but can't because of the verify link.

I can confirm, I am living in NYC (and am mid-30s). I'm paying for the "bronze plan" of one of the cheapest insurance companies, and it is $470/mo this year.

That reminds me that one of the co-working space I worked at in Brooklyn had a really cheap plan where you could receive mail there and do a couple other things but not even have a…

I would agree - Shadertoy is really cool, but it fits into the category of "they did it because they could, not because they should." There are techniques used in Shadertoys that a…

Vulkan is supposed to be the cross-platform API, but Apple isn't supporting it (and doing their own thing with Metal, as per usual). From what I've heard, Vulkan was originally "Op…

You could also make the argument that opening city centers to cars should be considered carefully, and that is also true. It just happens to be the current default almost everywher…

This aligns with my experience. I would bike (in SF and now NYC) but I don't because it feels too stressful and dangerous. It annoys me how entrenched car culture is and how defens…
