You’d be surprised – take a Backgammon board to a table in at a cafe in a popular area and chances are someone will sit down to play with you. Can be a good way of meeting people in a new area. (or new people in an old area!)

But how much have you learned about the Origin of Species?

Lots of clever tricks, all ITAR controlled.

Author used flash cards to memorize the steady state positions.

Deriving the steady state solutions was most interesting to me as well, author just described it as “a genetic algorithm”.

Certainly.

Which is why I contest anyone who makes claims like “smart people like me know that Science says the earth is N years old and everyone who disagrees is too dumb to understand these indisputable facts”.

So you don’t know. But you have faith someone did their homework.

Me too!

No, you have data that you’ve interpreted to mean that the trees are older than 6,000 years old. What is that data, and why have you interpreted it in that way?

vscode-rest··on Show HN: 41 years sea surface temperature anomalies

Ok. Not really sure what you’re getting at here tbh. But I assume you have read some paper that said that this tree had some isotope of some material, and you’ve taken that to mean the earth is older than 6,000 years?

Why do these disagree? Are the metrics perhaps under some debate, even amongst the Scientists?

I get that you don’t understand why a creator might do things they way they might have done. I don’t either. But surely you admit your own lack of understanding is not a scientific proof point?

If I said “I don’t understand why the big bang happened”, would that be evidence it didn’t?

Oldest tree I see is reported as 5,000 years. Common creation date is held to be roughly 6000 years ago.

Not that I think the age estimates folks have has much basis is reality. But this is a particularly empty nothing-burger.

Presumably you have some data to back that up? A product designed by the worlds top biological engineers that is more effective?

Chromosomal similarity argues for solid engineering principles just as much as it does common decent. Do you have any data to suggest that the almighty did not take a working chromosome 2 (made in their own image, perhaps), and reuse it in these other animals you reference?

I take it you have data against creationism?

Or that it is somehow less “scary”?

Interesting. Does UsBC spec/licensing require any sort of notation for products that don’t implement handshake?

At least they’re forward about it - I’ve lost count of how many bike accessories claimed to be USB C, but they only charge when connected to their specialized cable that converts from USB A to C.

vscode-rest··on Microsoft hasn't had a coherent GUI strategy since Petzold

Interesting, at first pass I’d say the source availability has little to do with the topic at hand. But on second thought it might be rather significant. No company would finance making 2x identical cross platform apps, but if you have a pool of OS folks who are free to contribute at their leisure, the calculus changes a bit.

We might contrast that with Slack, yes?

This thread comes to mind: https://www.0xsid.com/blog/wont-download-your-app With Slack that’s trivial, Telegram impossible.

Their killer feature, being able to share a link with anyone at the company and instantly collaborate (live!), is made far easier on the web platform vs native. “The input lag” frankly does not matter in the big picture, imo.

I am not sure that their goal (<200mb ram) is really related to their approach (using a built in rendering engine for the same exact source material) at all.

Figma is far superior to the native apps it replaced. As is VS Code. Slack.

What’s an example of a well made GTK or QT app in your opinion? And what would be the steel man Web app to compare that to?
