The Solana trenches are effectively a giant crime-riddled casino. Everyone who plays understands this -- you can make money but you're essentially gambling. I'm not saying this is OK, but it's the current state of things.

When this $Libra token launched, everything else dumped as capital flowed into it, and then effectively got siphoned off by insiders. So even people that didn't chase "Argentina's coin" got screwed. Rinse, lather, repeat. There are some winners in this game, mostly insiders and cabals, but a whole bunch of losers.

I would say something's gotta give, but the stark reality is that America's casinos are always jampacked with dream chasers.

The code is not mildly complex, it's criminal.

"Roasting your Hacker News refugee setup: flexing 20 CPU cores to doomscroll like a Linux-dad cyborg in Sherman Oaks, rocking Chrome 131.0.0.0 like you're personally beta-testing Google's most basic Blink update, yet still stuck at 1080p like a peasant who thinks "4K" is a cryptocurrency."

Glorious.

Wrong sh*tcoin.

We are already in the backlash.

As a rule of thumb if you are jumping into a legacy node project the first thing you should try is a sequentially older node version. Could've reduced his two hours to two minutes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Trump admin's primary goal of tariffs to increase domestic production?

Perhaps not in principal, but in practical terms it ends up being "ageist."

I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Cohen on his final U.S. tour. He crooned and gyrated on the stage for 3+ hours and over 30 tracks, including two encores, in his mid-70s at that point. He never lost it, even at the end.

If someone is not working because they received a windfall it's probably better to think of them as "retired" rather than "unemployed."

Non-technical boomers are really bad at password security.

No, lol.

Pardon my puritanism, but this seems like an awful lot to put your body through to get your rocks off and engage in this sort of indulgence.

He's the creator, but not the CEO. That title belongs to me...and you.

Yep, it's definitely an unbalanced mess -- an unfinished masterpiece, as is said.

What keeps me in love with the game is its world-building. Cities like Tarant feel alive in ways that are hard to explain.

That and the choices/consequence/reactivity. Playing as a dumb character and reading the newspaper article about your half-literate nincompoop's Zephyr crash is a true LOL moment.

Arcanum :)

Try Nina Nastasia's 2001 album Dogs.

You can feel yourself inside that big ol' room at Electric Audio in Chicago.

One of the most fascinating men that worked in music production/recording. If you aren't familiar with him and his various idiosyncrasies, I highly recommend giving this a watch/listen:

In my personal list of top 10 albums of all time, Albini recorded six of them. I say "recorded" instead of "produced" because this is more akin to his style: set up microphones and record the band as they sound.

Any idea what this could mean for those holding crypto on Robinhood?

Minor issue but you've got a little horizontal wiggle/overflow going on.

Seems to be connected to this:

<main class="flex min-h-screen flex-col"> <div class="flex-1 w-screen flex flex-col">

The interior w-screen class element is setting 100vw inside of a container that's not 100vw, leading to an overflow

Kicked out for not complying with rules vs. being forced to sell.

I suspect the state dept. would say China banning Facebook/Twitter, etc. is an example of it being a "bad" or "totalitarian" "regime."

But the U.S. banning Tik-Tok? Why that's just good ol' democracy at work!

If China passed a similar law, I wonder what the U.S. state dept. would say about it.

What sort of engine improvements and/or QOL features does it add? How does it compare to something like Fallout Fixt or Et Tu (uses FO2 engine)?

Looks like the article got flagged as spam?

TikTok? Facebook? Instagram?

All of these are vapid pits of human-shaped garbage.

Here's a radical idea: cultivate some self-discipline when it comes to smartphone use.

Mine is a glorified iPod. I don't know where it is half the time.

Whereas dogs were trained/bred/selected for specific purposes, I suspect cats were just kind of hanging out, following rodents which were were adjacent to human settlements.

It's easy to imagine humans simply tolerating them because they kept mice under control around grain and other food storage.

Intuitively that matches my perception of the cat-human relationship vs. the dog-human relationship.

The way they've defined "persuasive bullshitting" sounds like would capture 90% of human-to-human interaction.

People almost always have an angle.

I suspect this research itself has an angle as well, making it meta persuasive bullshitting.

It's easy to point a finger at "blatant/blanket fascism" from an ivory tower, but ask yourself, would you feel differently if you were an impoverished person trying to raise a family and live a clean life in one of these areas?
