Can someone explain this, the italicized part below, in more detail?

>> When you approach from the side street, as a driver, the order of dealing with other traffic is different, but the priority is similar. First you will notice a speed bump. The complete intersection is on a raised table. Pedestrians would not have priority if the street was level, but now that it isn’t the “exit construction” rule could apply and in that case a crossing pedestrian would have priority. But for that rule to apply the footway should be continuous, and that is not the case here.

>> pay their tuition with a summer job, like they could when our elders went to school.

or like it is currently for EU citizens in any EU country. Americans are getting ripped off from all sides.

Doing X without Y seems very one-dimensional though.

The applications on Earth are already realized:

A work cant be justified as art solely by the technique employed in its creation, otherwise it would just be a craft representing the technical skill of the creator.

Precision manufacturing, such as for ballpoint pens and Gundam figures, will more readily show defects, so that might be the reason.

>> making people more fragile, more precious, more incapable of coping with the most basic expectations of disappointments or adversity on the job.

I think that is an unintended (hopefully) consequence of companies' reward metrics for employees and the associated achievement culture in the US.

If you are hiring high achievers and telling them to care about X, Y, and Z then don't act surprised when they notice and complain about blemishes on either X, Y, or Z.

Seems like your AirBnB luck has run out.

The couch photo was bad, but not that far off from what I would consider a typical AirBnB experience.

If an employer ever tried to book me an AirBnB on a work trip I'd politely decline and find my own accommodations.

it will be streamed online, if you want to attend in person then registration is required here:

For a human, it could be considered a developmental milestone.

Yeah, the company can tell the candidate the salary they will pay for someone in the role. If that doesn't match the candidate's needs then the process stops. If the candidate's performance during the interviews shows they can't function effectively in the role, the process stops.

They could call it "Wet Texas"

I used to work with a carpenter from Trinidad. This was in the southern US, and at an employer where I was probably the only college educated person. I recall them as being very professional but able to socialize easily with everyone else, and they were also insanely good at chess.

Did your approach require JS or were you able to do the rotating part completely in CSS and SVG?

Most of the old computational methods have been forgotten (or never learned) so folks here get excited when they are posted.

Artisanal AI.

I suppose you could call this approach "texture as code"

My only counter is that for a real-time collaborative app the server should be the single source of truth about application state, which would make htmx a good choice for that type of application.

Yeah, I've played hours of Minecraft with my own dithering renderer, but I'm sure going to 1-bit would give me a headache within minutes.

I wonder if rendering the in-game graphics as if they are being shown on a virtual monitor would provide some respite. If the virtual monitor was on a desk with other items, then would give players some place to rest their eyes.

You seem rather optimistic actually.

Thanks, your comment prompted me to actually read the article which I had originally avoided due to the title.

Interesting, there is a short description of the project in the Moleskine book that you can click through after dragging it into view.

>> not being focused on AI is disrupting so many people

What are you talking about?

Think of it more as a feature that provides accessibility to people that either don't have the ability, the time, or that simply can't be bothered to work it out themselves.

If someone runs this on localhost to try it out, is any of the generated output sent to your system?

I assume electric water kettles as well, which shutoff shortly after the water starts boiling.

but first they need to put each asteroid on a blockchain

I like the new rule.

I'm curious how developers that use React, but have never written an application using the MVC paradigm, would describe React.

Nowadays it's sites collecting surfers' data.

I'm curious how much heat this thing puts off, and whether there are particular display types that generate more heat than others.
