I doubt this will end the scummy money grabbing thinking.

The actual people who should be removed is probably the incompetent board of directors who signed on in 2020.

I was introduced to Tantacrul via his video on MuseScore. I was thoroughly unimpressed by it and was taken aback by the things he chose to focus on and give priority to.

A lot of the video felt like it was missing the forest for the trees and felt like more like a person trying to say "Did you notice this? I did!" rather than focusing on the actual big picture.

At one point he says that software should try to build on familiarity and frameworks that the user would be used to and find intuitive. Later on, he completely misses how presets are represented and complains that it's unintuitive.

The amount of time he chose to spend on iconography was mind-boggling, and his specific comparison of of iconography to typography was tenuous at best.

Overall I feel that the lack of of FOSS UX devs is what Tantacrul is taking advantage of. His slick videos seem compelling and correct, but are extremely surface level.

I've found that it's possible to very cleanly separate pessimism and optimism while still experiencing both. When I'm with my family or ideating on a new project, optimism is a much better mindset as it allows the mind to wander, create and relax.

When I am in the depths of a project where I have a lot of things that I need to fail at to understand, a negative mindset is more useful.

Maintaining a positive mindset in the face of a multitude of assured failures is possible, but draining. However, a negative mindset, is more engine-like and muddles along, unsurprised by the failures.

Again, this is a purely personal anecdote and I would not recommend adopting a negative mindset to other people.

Stoicism at it's core is about overcoming destructive emotions.

The negative methodology in this article seems to explicitly renounce the concept of emotions being destructive.

I tend to agree with the second view/philosophy more. Negative emotions like anger and grief are not destructive on their own. However, an individual's response to negative emotions can easily become destructive and foster harmful habits.

Stoicism aims to free one from anger, envy and jealousy, thus averting the negative responses which is an absolutely valid approach. The negative methodology in the article is about experiencing the emotion to its fullest and building resilience, which in turn reduces destructive responses.

Do you purchase the fruits and vegetables in your household?

My little sister liked Android phones because she found the green robot thing cute.

But after Apple declined to implement 16 Web APIs in Safari due to privacy concerns, she bough an iPhone.

She's 8.

I've played more than a 100 hours of Stardew and I feel you're being overly generous. None of the systems are particularly complex (Civ has more complex interlocking systems), the mines and combat is relatively barebones (compared to something like Terraria) and the dialogue is above average, not the maximum that could be achieved (you could look at Divinity 2 to see dialogue done right).

What it does do well is an incredible level of polish in the production side of the game and giving the player a real and fulfilling sense of progression.

The author is saying that the main reason to use something like C++ instead of Python or even Java is for speed. He assumes that optimizing for speed is a problem that can fit neatly under the machine learning domain.

If a machine can optimize performance better than humans, then it would not make sense to use C++, in the context of performance.

The last time Cornell notes was discussed, a user had made a detailed comment on how he uses the system in his IT job.

Carmack just tweeted this about Gates:

I only met Bill Gates once, but I was very impressed — I was going on about problems in the windows graphics stack, and despite it not being his expertise, I thought he “got it” faster than his domain experts in the room.

The replies are filled with similar anecdotes.

What an incredible website

The audio version has the quotes in the voice of the original speakers (probably because this is a radio).

There is an interactive timeline custom made for the content of the article.

Other audio logs can be accessed super easily via the drop down menu.

Incredible stuff.
