but they weren’t destroying the rock, right? they were just splitting it up into smaller rocks. I bet they’d have a heck of a time actually destroying that rock.
pretty undestructible if you ask me? /s

142·7 months agoObviously, there are plenty of reasons to decry this. However, actually paying the end user is a million times better than the harvesting that has been going on for years with not much tangible benefit to users.
82·11 months agoPeople who have been in a career for a long time often have no fucking clue what they’re doing.
Also related, there is rarely a perfect way to accomplish something. People talk about being cogs in a wheel, but that’s pretty insincere when each cog is shaped differently. The way one might approach a task will nearly always be different, and that is pretty liberating, for me.
8·1 year agoMy game was sorta the opposite. After letting my mind wander for an undetermined amount of time, I would try and backtrack as far back as I could. I didn’t usually make it back more than a few steps, but finding that “first” thought was always satisfying.
61·2 years agoWhile in principle, I don’t disagree. If you’re impaired, you shouldn’t drive. I lost a parent after they were hit by a drunk driver.
However, there are monstrously different amounts of impairment. You have reaction times and motor skills, decision making and judgement, awareness and attention.
Implying any type of impairment to be an unequivocal “no” to driving is short sighted, in my opinion. It’s the easy argument to point at any mind-altering substance: caffeine, tobacco, or antidepressants could be classified an impaired driver.
It’s also worth pointing out that even different emotions could dramatically alter driving performance. Not that we would ever think about restrictions on crying while driving.

Is this for real?
There’s no reason that guilt would be absent from helpinghelp a specific person in need (like your struggling mother example). Plenty of people feel guilty taking handouts and will outright refuse help when they might need it.
As for the drive thru thing, I think you might be talking about something different than what I’ve seen/done, which is just paying for your own meal and the people behind you. There isn’t any expectation for them to continue some chain, and in many ways it’s a bit of an empty gesture (they are just taking that first person’s goodwill and passing it to the next in line).
My interpretation of paying it forward is the premise of receiving something when you’re in need, then, when you’re able, to give something back. Not to the one who helped you, as that would be repaying a debt.

This amuses me
10·2 years agoIf that’s a joke, I don’t get it.
If that’s real, I don’t know why.
Help?
2·2 years agoWhen you talk about a sample, what does that actually mean? Like I recognize that the frequency of oscillations will tell me the pitch of something, but how does that actually translate to a chunk of data that is useful?
You mention a sample being stored as a number, which makes sense, but how is that number utilized? Again assuming uncompressed, if my sample “value” comes up as 420, does that include all of the necessary components of that sound bite in a 1/44100th of a second? How would a sample at value 421 compare? Is this like a RGB type situation where you’d have multiple values corresponding to different attributes of the sample (amplitude, frequencies, and I’m sure other things)? Is a single sample actually intelligible in isolation?
This seems to be the limit. One more very and it 404s

13·2 years agoI think you’re taking it the wrong way. I understand it as “anything negative about Biden, is also true about Trump”
- Biden is old, so is Trump
- Biden struggles speaking cohesively, so does Trump
- etc.
21·2 years agoI guess it’s more asking what the alternatives could be. I don’t have the answer, and truthfully don’t have much of an idea what is out there to solve that problem.
Is there a system that can get information to someone, maintaining anonymity for the sender the whole way through? Like having an open drop box where you’d be able to put whatever documents you want into it.
So I recognize that having the files securely encrypted is a valuable thing, and that having privacy for sharing is also important. But how do you actually share this without creating a vulnerable point?
Say I wanted to leak some file as a whistleblower, I’d still need to get the link/password/etc shared to whomever I’m leaking to, right? Sorta defeats the purpose when you need some other source of contact, right?
So I’ve toyed with buying a dryer, but I never really understood a good workflow. Do you dry a spool right before you start printing with it?
What about storing spools? Is it sensible to leave them in “regular” storage before going into the dryer? Or should I be looking at having multiple dryers to keep more spools from getting wet. And at that point should I just be looking to make a more practical storage solution for many spools?

11·2 years agoThe takeaway I think they were trying to give was that the same experiments done on a more modern OS does not have these same “instant” infections (they reference having windows 7 under the same conditions without any issue)
I like the idea of documenting what I’m doing all that, but I have a hard time rationalizing what should actually be recorded.
like if I’m debugging something, and I’m putting silly print statements to quickly troubleshoot, should I document that?
there are certainly times where it makes sense to have a record, but there seems to be many more instances of not needing it at all, which then makes you see recording it as a silly formality, which then kills any motivation to continue recording.
