Good for you, but it's still optional for the right crowd. More specifically, you don't have to. Users can connect to your gaming group with zero friction. Not even signup! (at lea…

But even if you gave me a free mumble service, it still wouldn't be comparable to Discord - at least when i was using Discord. The price wasn't the issue (imo), it was simply the u…

> Cross-breeding allows nature to combine things that fit together in all of the right place I feel like this is putting too much faith in "natural" methodologies. Eg, who's to say…

I disagree (to a degree) . Everyone i know kicked and screamed about switching from Vent/Teamspeak/Mumble. I feel like it eventually dominated not because it was easy to dump exist…

It is and it isn't. I imagine your humor implies that technical people are using Mastadon, ie the same type that would be using HN, but the reality is that while that is true, Twit…

> Currently the price is free, and comes bundled with uMatrix, and a cookie flush. I’d like to pay the NYT for their journalism, but only with money, not the ability to track me. A…

> You're correct of course, but I don't really see how this isn't a vacuous observation. Yes clearly our perceptions are at odds, but that has nothing to do with the reality of whe…

> Why is that doubtful? There's all kinds of examples of tiered subscriptions in the world. I think it would be doubtful because the NYT wouldn't want to explicitly admit all the t…

> No they don't. They really don't need to know any of that. They don't even get a pass on tracking because they're providing a free whatever - I pay for a subscription to the NYT.…

Is that really preventative care though? Why would I take pills for high blood pressure, if I don't have high blood pressure already? I thought preventative care was care that is, …

Even more than that; I left Google (as a user, never employee) because I was scared of being banned. Seeing stories of users on Amazon / Google getting their account banned due to …

Go is my daily driver. With that said, I love Rust. I even tried to switch my team to Rust for a short while, and used it as my main personal language for ~8Mo or so. My decisions …

Appreciate the info! That's a nice way to look at it

For me, the biggest thing in logging these days is being able to remove performance impact of logs lower than the level threshold. How does this library compare? Currently I'm usin…

> I suppose, for me at least, the network speeds are in a similar category to processor speeds for normal, every day use. Would an extra 10-20% download bandwidth be appreciated? W…

Interestingly, I wouldn't use it for that (if at all), because it doesn't actually pass the time at all. You still live the time, experiencing it in full. Ie, a boring day would st…

What's the `err` being returned here? I didn't think JavaScript was big on error returning, as might typically be used by a `returnif` keyword. This, funny enough, reminds me of Go…

I'm surprised it's even legal honestly. I see so many horror stories. Worse yet, they're so unpredictable. Not just "it hurt my liver", they're what you described. Zombies in real …

Well yea, that's what I said. If WASM shared libs works, then we can cache runtimes, that's why I said it's the best solution. However shipping runtimes with user code, means it's …

Yes.. sort of. For that scenario, we need a lot of things in place that are down the road for WASM. Technically it would work today, but you'd have to ship a Python runtime with ev…

Alcohol: Basically none. Currently I might average 1 beer every 3 months or so. In the past I have enjoyed a nightly relaxation beer, but found it more costly than I cared about, s…

What part is more complicated? Ie, is it the editing process is imprecise? Perhaps the editing process is like using sed (as mentioned by other people) ? In simple terms, at least.…

Interesting. We ordered one from Amazon, I think a 50inch, and it was put on our front doorstep in the tv box. It was undamaged thankfully, but it looked like a normal Fedex(or w/e…
