This sounded weird to me at first until I realized that this exactly what I do when watching a movie with subtitles.

I'm wondering if going back to cheaper and less capable hardware will actually result in better games. Forcing creativity, and maybe (by necessity) dropping the constant push for h…

Yeah, I kinda feel like when you're mentoring people, you should let them drive. If you're going to do it for them, you might as well just record a training video.

This was already addressed: > But with LLMs generating 7101 commits in less than a month that isn't feasible. I don't think trying to understand LLM generated code is feasible for …

I kinda feel like using memorization techniques for things that require deeper understanding probably isn't the most efficient way to learn. IMO you want to be actively trying to m…

So your solution is to just read through all 1M+ lines of code?

What about just not installing sketchy extensions?

Yeah, I don't know who thought that website was a good idea.

Given his work on Smalltalk, I suspect he means that he prefers the line between language runtime and operating system to be erased, and they be the same thing. I disagree though. …

But can't you continue to run older bytecode versions on newer JVMs? I think you can also specify the source version separately.

What I find especially weird is that I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone describe vim as a puzzle that's fun to solve. The most common sentiment is that it has a learning curve, bu…

I've thought it would be cool to have a console where later updates are installed on the game cartridge directly.

But what's the point of even releasing the next console? The current console generation has barely gotten started, and developers have barely taken advantage of the new hardware. M…

The economic incentives will only come when enough people stop buying these kinds of games. Whether or not that will ever happen remains to be seen.

I think it's because further north the Sun is at a lower angle in the sky. So high frequency waves like UV (needed for Vitamin D production) get filtered out by passing through mor…
