webkike··on Ghosts at the Liquor Store
I really don’t think this romanticizes alcoholism. Their drunk driving dad left them at a gas station after they refused to drive with him.
webkike··on Crypto is an unproductive bubble
You can’t say a social network is objectively better when all of the people you consider to be cool don’t use it.

I really don’t understand the appeal of Dubai unless the only thing you care about is living in a resort
webkike··on Josh Wardle created Wordle as part of an ongoing quest to design online spaces
And that makes it less appealing than Wordle still?
webkike··on Josh Wardle created Wordle as part of an ongoing quest to design online spaces
Wordle is a game everyone can play every 24 hours. The game show is… a game show
webkike··on Lead exposure in last century shrunk IQ scores of half of Americans: study
IQ doesn’t measure intelligence so for all we know this just shows that IQ tests measure how little lead you’ve been exposed to
webkike··on A Shader Trick
I think that instead of this, my solution would be to have each function that depends on dt to accumulate the dt themselves, and reset it at their individual periods.

A Rust trait with an associated const would help with this:

    trait TimeDependentFn {
        const PERIOD: f32;
        type Output;
    
        fn call(&self, dt: f32) -> Self::Output;
    }
webkike··on Things you notice when you quit the news (2016)
The post lists several other things along with those examples that I think DO make it essential:

> use too much water during a drought season, have your garden furniture blow through your windows when that storm rolls in, have a BBQ during a high-risk fire season

If you’re going to check if there’s a drought every time you use water - congratulations, you’re reading the news!

webkike··on A Saudi woman's iPhone revealed hacking around the world
Because it’s easier?
webkike··on Reddit can't build a better search engine
Then ban the people gaming the system
webkike··on Brrr.money
Man, people really don’t understand economics. What point is this even trying to make?
webkike··on Confessions of a Bitcoin Widow
What are you talking about it? She returned nearly all of it
webkike··on The Stacks 2.0 blockchain implementation in Rust
You can try to frame it like it is all you want, but drying clothes is not using “unnecessarily energy wasteful product for some light convenience”. This isn’t just one person using a dryer to dry their socks, this is the total cost of drying clothes, and that isn’t something that doesn’t massively improves everyone’s life. If you’re going to spend that amount of energy the base requirement of usefulness of the outcome in my opinion very well could be that all of our clothes are dried.

webkike··on The Stacks 2.0 blockchain implementation in Rust
If we’re going to compare bitcoin to dry clothes, I’d rather have dry clothes but ten orders of magnitude
webkike··on Thank You, Valve
I wouldn’t exactly consider valve a billion dollar mega corp. For one, they aren’t public and therefore aren’t beholden to the whims of share holders.
webkike··on The rising human cost of sports betting
Matter of time? The World Series has already been thrown, it was called the black Sox scandal and as far as I know it didn’t even require sports betting to be legal
webkike··on Joni Mitchell pulling music from Spotify in solidarity with Neil Young
I’m not really convinced that the market value lost by Spotify has anything to do Neil Young. It’s much more likely that it’s just general market trends - the same thing has been happening to most tech stocks over the last couple of weeks
webkike··on Why introduce `std::launder` rather than have the compiler take care of it?
I’ve fixed undefined behavior in large C++ code based caused by misaligned reinterpret casts - the solution is to use memcpy
webkike··on Game Studios Are Turning Play into Work
Exactly correct. Black Lotus is expensive because MTG is fun and the card is rare. Same for AWPs.

It really doesn’t matter what the technology is that’s used to store the transaction of these items, the most important thing continues to be that the game is actually _fun_!!!

webkike··on In MySQL, use “utf8mb4” instead of “utf8” (2016)
Genuine question: why would anyone prefer MySQL over Postgres?
webkike··on Google says iMessage is too powerful
What are you talking about? It’s possible to send group SMS messages on iPhone.
webkike··on Extension Maps in Rust
This is an excellent pattern. The anymap crate provides a good implementation: https://docs.rs/anymap/latest/anymap/
webkike··on Digital real estate and the digital housing crisis
If you don’t have a car and/or money you don’t have an option to go any place else

Kinda looks like a water droplet or something

webkike··on Ubisoft’s first NFT plans make no sense
> > Kids making fun of poorer kids for not having nicer cosmetics is absolutely nothing new

> I said it, but it seems like you are ok with it, be it physical or virtual goods?

This is absolutely not what I said and incredibly insulting of an implication. If you’re going to talk about misreading peoples comments, please practice what you preach. I will not be responding to the rest of this comment because you have convinced me you’re not approaching this dialogue in good faith.

webkike··on Ubisoft’s first NFT plans make no sense
CSGO skins are limited in quantity as well. Some items are so rare they’re one of one, costing millions of dollars

Can you articulate why?
