zer0-c00l··on In Moscow, McDonald's packs up, radio falls silent and the brain drain begins
No, casinos are not necessarily bad for a community, you’re mistaken. Ohio legalized casinos in major cities and they aren’t bad (whether they’re successful or not is another matter).

And idk what you’re referring to regarding “vulnerable”? Vulnerable to addiction? Alcohol is addictive and bars are legal. Casinos are still heavily regulated, but beyond that people are allowed to make their own decisions and gamble if they wish.

zer0-c00l··on Asian-Americans fight back against school discrimination
100%. So many people in this thread are out here acting like going to an Ivy League school is a guaranteed right afforded to those who score well on tests. That’s never been the case. These institutions have been discriminatory from the start and IMO more or less historically exist to provide a path to success for privileged, mediocre, old money scions.

sounds like you have terrible internet or devices that you’re streaming on? I’m regularly streaming 4k/hdr/atmos movies on Netflix. I’m sure I could find some compression artifacts if I did a side by side comparison with a blu ray but it’s not noticeable in isolation.
zer0-c00l··on Sid Meier warns the games industry about monetisation
I haven’t played in a while but Clash of Clans is a pretty decent and fun game underneath all of its addictive patterns.

WoW still has some of the best raid encounter design out right now.

I’m not disagreeing about the effect of performance marketing/aggressive growth strategies on the industry but this idea that there are “true” games and then everything else is like playing mindless slot machines doesn’t really make sense to me

zer0-c00l··on Discord is a black hole for information
Moderation being left to unpaid community members is a sign that Reddit DOES take moderation seriously

zer0-c00l··on Twitter expands downvote test worldwide
> it's liable to turn into the same mess Reddit has

Reddit has its problems but the idea that it’s somehow worse than Twitter is laughable.

Even with vote brigading subreddits are moderated and so actual content brigading is much rarer. Can you say the same about Twitter?

zer0-c00l··on Rails is not written in Ruby
Except here the encapsulation comes at the cost of extending a core library at runtime, which has all the tradeoffs mentioned in the article.
zer0-c00l··on Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO – sources
I completely agree. The fact that major subreddits all have Discord servers definitely speaks to Discord addressing some community need that Reddit is not.

Grew up in the midwest, can confirm this.
zer0-c00l··on NSFW Server Designation
Do servers get to set their own NSFW flag or is it punitive?
zer0-c00l··on libsignal-client – a Signal protocol implementation in Rust
Thanks for writing it in Rust, otherwise it wouldn't have reached the HN frontpage and we wouldn't have known about it!

On what basis are you making that claim about how they base their engineering decisions?
