Hate to say it, but most likely the reason is "just because". I'm guessing they assume people will use 4k now and 8k a little later. Anyone not on those is using HD at the amazing …

Those silly apes leaving good food on the ground! That's quality aged meat!

Thanks for your 'answer' then.

Glad about the explicit exploration of "extra" versus "more". Extra to me is often about your development. Learn now to do it next time either better/faster/smoother etc etc. I'll …

The way you wrote it made it seem like you thought the program wasn't an emulator or that the machines it emulated weren't real. So you quoted it for emphasis. That's why I asserte…

Why did you put emulates in quotes? The machines were real.

Thats probably for the best.

Ok, I know nothing about nuke power. That said, I have a few questions: Nuclear power is just about making steam isn’t it? Its ultimately about using heat to boil water, isn’t it? …

Plenty of what we eat isn’t that great for us either. Humans are complex critters.

Unpopular opinion: I'd not let either side off the hook. Politics caused multiple screw ups in the pandemic response. Still is. Partisan politics aren't a good idea when forming pu…

It's not that people are "nuts" as such. They're scared and, more often now, terrified. Scared people aren't known for their ability to reason. Its why governments often abuse fear…

Windows telemetry controls seem broken/incomplete by design. We should be able to turn it off by describing the process over the phone to a 80yo relative. It needs to be simple but…

I like the utility of small scraps of paper with custom printed designs on them. Tangible todo lists etc have a sense of existence that is quite different to pixels on a screen. Th…

I like it but still want multiplayer. Any ideas around abstractions to support that? I'd fully expect to need a websocket server and interconnect etc. eg on physical hardware this …

I wonder how hard to get it to output lua code? I have a set of runtime environments that only support lua but this Ć language looks interesting. Obvious aside: I do agree with the…

Those who disagreed with my comment very obviously haven't had to counsel men going through family court. Multiple relatives have needed assistance to do so. Family court and every…

Quite a variety of rules, laws and regulations. I'm fairly sure there are errors in this list but the effort to compile it must have been significant. Kudos. Its so strange to thin…

You seem to have a complicated relationship with your past self. I foresee further trouble in your future. Its best if you take a torch or you'll be eaten by a grue.

Don't forget to write for future you . They'd appreciate some consideration as well. Mostly along the lines of "wtf does this module do?"

I use one big monitor. Like the rest of my little bubble. Those bevels from multiple monitors get boring.

Drinking water excessively is often an indicator of illness eg diabetes. Other reasons exist. The "its a hot day" reason is better than most but cold non-sugar drinks are usually m…

Family court, alimony, child support, paternity, the list of broken systems goes on. Essentially, if you're male in the US the disincentives around getting married are strong and r…
