The word "snapshot" is not entirely accurate. They used several bots to manually download the world by flying around, and that collection process takes several months (as described…

The only redundant part of this snapshot is the second 512k^2 snapshot of the overworld. The End and Nether snapshots are still meaningful. Excluding the 512k^2 snapshot, the size …

I see coworkers reach for AI to perform many tasks that are made trivial by a few keystrokes or a simple macro in Vim.

"fine" is a very accurate word to describe Tizen. It's slow and really hard to find things sometimes (why do TVs not have a simple "input switch" button any more?), but ultimately …

I use aliases that lazily load nvm when I actually want to use it. This converts the shell startup penalty into a node/npm startup penalty.

If you constantly pawn a task or cognitive load onto someone else (AI or not), you'll eventually get worse and worse at that particular type of thinking. Your overall mind doesn't …

I am a bit confused and very curious what purpose this site is trying to serve. They seem to have many articles all talking about the same concept which I think could be summarized…

In 2020 Netflix claimed they would start to automatically cancel inactive accounts [1], but the post has since disappeared. I also remember Microsoft saying the same thing about Xb…

As someone with no real-world petrochemistry experience, but much gaming experience, I was very surprised how familiar the crude oil processing diagram looks. Factorio and GregTech…

I would love one of these for Google Chat. It feels like it's been getting slower and slower these past few years.

I'm trying to understand what you mean by this. Are you saying they're "bad" in terms of resolution, or artistic value, or something else? They seem good enough (far from "bad") by…

`9↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑9` seems like a reasonable guess (barring encoding cheats/trickery like @masfuerte commented!) Edit: I've misread th…

No, because it never sees its back!

By the astronomical definition of the word "orbit", no. Earth does circle Mercury though (and Mercury circles Earth). In terms of this post - I suppose technically Earth does NOT c…

Fun to see you here - I discovered this game through your videos! I think despite the lack of raw "content", I got a LOT of playtime out of this game by trying to push higher on th…

Sarcasm noted. An apple would actually be more difficult to hit because of its reduced size.

I think it's more appropriate to say TOTP /is (nearly)/ phishing-proof if you use a password manager integrated with the browser (not that it /doesn't need to be/ phishing-proof)

"Repeats" may be the term you're looking for. That would be interesting, however in some pieces it could make the overall document MUCH longer. It would be similar to loop unrollin…

From the article: My Lua data types have a notable difference from C Lua: an ability to be “frozen”.

The project has data about every location (doors, chests, etc.) and the conditions that must be met to allow access to those locations - for example [1]. From there the randomizer …

Question for you and commenter above, do you play games with controls similar to Outer Wilds often? Do you play many games in general? I've seen this comment a few times and I'm cu…

Totally achievable by using interfaces instead of structs type Foo interface { Foo() int } type Bar interface { Bar() string } type FooBar interface { Foo Bar } Then functions that…

> If your language has bad defaults, you may have to ask for the right rounding mode explicitly. Is the author implying Rust's default rounding behavior is a bad default? In what w…
