It’s like reading the back of the “Dr. Bronner’s Soap” label. I get what the guy is saying but he’s said it in a way that’s so unappealing I’d rather not care.

Are you talking about our society or chimps in the wild? To me it’s all just a mating strategy. Wealthy people aren’t smart from my experience, neither are ambitious people.

Why is that? I think that if you’re smarter you would sit and think about what power actually gets you. Outside of some random people trying to bother you every day and some extra mating, that’s it. You’re stuck with the same chimp/monkey mentality you started with only now you have the added bonus of having annoyed/being annoying.

Learning it the hard way is beneficial. But perhaps implement it the easy way. :)

I wonder how many old games took advantage of these effects in a way that’s difficult to understand or replicate with modern technology.

I see this like a DJ scratching a record, simulating the scratching digitally just isn’t the same, making some of the performance (the records available, technology to play them) part of the era in which they came out.

Fantastic comment. You gave me both something to think about and research!

Looks okay. The biggest problem with grass isn’t so much the texturing as it is adding weight/physics and post-processing to SO MANY small objects at one time. Making grass reactive to a physics element like fluid dynamic airflow while ALSO retaining the individual weights such that if weight is applied to the grass it won’t move despite the fluid airflow… it’s just really hard without compromising your framerate or the overall composition of a scene.

Examples: 1. A player drops a rubber ball onto a field of grass, should the grass “hold up“ the ball like it might in real life? 2. A player stands on grass that blows in the wind. 3. A stone blocks some wind and parts of the grass blow against the stone itself.

Summary from the article: Someone got access. We don’t know who or why. They didn’t change anything and we will assert they couldn’t have. We will be throwing a contractor we work with under the bus for this one.

Ok but try watching some of their TV. They enjoy wacky stuff.

There are thousands of sodas, and you know what Coca-Cola is.

It is true, BUT, (and this is a big but, almost a baby got back but) the risk is not the same for improperly handled vegetables vs. meats or seafood. Poorly handled veggies generally will give you E. Coli, or a similar sort of nasty stomach/food illness.

Bad seafood can give you parasites.

It’s like the risk of surfing vs. the risk of driving a wave-runner. Both can injure you on the water but a bad wave-runner accident might kill you.

No, I’m not placing any special status on your suffering vs. mine. I’m puzzled why you think I should think you’re special?

We have a word for it within the domain of philosophy and literature: Kafkaesque.

I wonder how many threads patience and reading comprehension would kill outright?

Can you address my points instead of trying to assign some sort of ideological slant to them? Not only is it much stronger for your argument but it’s more honest discourse.

Nothing you have said in your post is unique to the geography, at all. If that makes you feel less special, good; there is nothing special about being from one geographical location or another, and nothing special about a murder in Africa vs. a murder in South America.

Murder is murder, you don’t have a worse kind. If there is something to discuss, it’s not from an angle of ideological context-macht.

Human beings are like plants that must be watered. Our difference is that our “soil” is our blood, and to get it “dry” to absorb more water means two things: Changing the level of salinity to allow more water via osmosis, and altering the composition of neurally-reactive cations and anions. It’s not so much balancing them out as letting them enter and leave the system at intervals, like we do with air and respiration.

It’s great science! Now, insofar as their English and grammar, that leaves much to be desired! That said, I’m more than willing to bet that two things are in play: A. These publications would slough off an application from someone focused on writing faster than a skin from a boiled tomato. B. Most people who “Love science” don’t place value in other areas of learning. STEM doesn’t include “writing eloquently”, to put that mildly.

The science itself seems fine though! Testing, measuring, experimenting. Yes. But either there ought to be an onus on us as readers or them as publishers to make clear what has been done. Otherwise, as I believe you can surmise, there’s no benefit to doing at all!

I’m giving up on laptops and sticking to desktops. The desktop I built myself has never given me any problems and it can be repaired, upgraded, and serviced on my own. I really think laptops are just trash and people are delusional about their usefulness. That’s my opinion, damn it!!!

If you have an open mind and a big heart you will start to find that most people have become ideologues, and will find these conditions acceptable. “Well they supported the thing I didn’t on Facebook, death time.”

I’m shocked at the level of callousness some are displaying.

Since you say it’s “not that simple”, do you truly believe it’s out of the reach of the Russian govt. to punish this company or the members of it for stepping out of line? They’re a large company in tech but how about their resources for personnel security, or what if they’ve been ordered to do so legally?

Let’s go beyond that. Let’s say that Yandex has been spreading propaganda on purpose for multiple years. That’s every other search engine too. Especially Google! If Russia or China wins a conflict, or begins one economically, do the employees of Google deserve to be punished for their work during this time? When you use logic and apply the same logic to the situation in reverse, it’s quite apparent that you have a bias, and that bias isn’t serving you well.

Those are the ones I purchased. I have owned 5 and all 5 failed. I think Apple sucks as a result.

I find it hilarious that in the future everyone is more capable than the present at inventing things and also simultaneously these same people are incapable children who can’t use anything manual. It’s concerning that people dream that way.

Lmao I have had 2 MBPs die on me and the cost to fix them is like $800 and I can’t do it myself. Fuck them.

I like this article. I think it would be a finished or complete piece if you can also describe where to use “npm link” as an edge case.

This hits the nail on the head with a sledgehammer. It’s not merely difficult for the ideological reasons I outlined but also because of the power structures one deals with discussing it. Ah, the banal bureaucracy of evil.

Hi dang, I’ll read the guidelines and try to adhere to them carefully. That said, I’m not having much luck with other users being charitable in discussions, and that to behavior (being charitable) is something I’d like to mutually benefit both myself and others; if there is a way to be more approachable or clear I’d like to know. Thanks for responding to me, and I also like your bio. I think tension drives learning. :)

Could you explain what this comment means? It doesn’t make sense. ESL?

“Israel’s intelligence” is like a gang member calling themselves “lil NSA” or some shit. It’s the NSA and globalist interests within the US who don’t like the idea that nations are nations and they don’t control the Earth. It’s very insulting to people with compensate for a lack of personality or wit with egotism to be told you can’t just “do whatever” when you have a billion dollars. Again, I think no one is ready for a serious conversation about this. We don’t consider our rich mentally ill, and therefore there can be little else to be said or done.

Well, they certainly won’t do it again! Therefore, this should be ignored and not logically used to infer that governments spy on citizens!

I think people don’t know about it. I’m going to do this now that I do. Thank you!

It’s similar to if someone in public who is a non-famous figure said something and it was recorded on a phone but not posted elsewhere. You can’t use the phone recording on the article. Now, let’s talk about why that’s stupid.

are you happy you pedantic weasel?
