The fact that you're playing around with a game engine and using phrases like "distributed business logic" tells me you have a long road ahead of you.

This comment says the exact opposite of what you're praising Rosebud for. The debugging not only wasn't helpful, it actively made the game unworkable and unrecoverable.

Some easy answers:

1. Not all articles will be relatable to everyone, and that's perfectly fine.

2. Your "what if" scenario is trivially surmountable: write some code at home, for yourself, for something you enjoy, or for someone you care about.

I don't understand how someone could read this and not only have the takeaway that you did, but come here to mention it.

Similar story for me!

Back when I had feet, there were so many days where I had anxiety over forgetting to tie my shoes. Sometimes I would start the day with my shoes untied. Other days I'd obsess over which knot to use. And additional worries over my shoe becoming untied during the day.

I found out the solution to these problems wasn't about just remembering to tie my shoe tightly in the morning like an adult -- the real solution was to cut off my feet so I never needed shoes again!

If the product has to TELL you up front that it has a "beautiful and intuitive user interface", it likely doesn't.

And the Tour page has a screenshot of the application titled "Stunning Elegance", where it does a great job of mostly looking the same as any desktop app developed in the last 10 years -- full of shades of grey, plain, no menus.

As a cherry on top, it is described as "Easy to learn. Exciting to master", which is getting so far out there into marketing land that my spidey senses tell me to stay far away.

A game like this with a million variations is almost immediately uninteresting. It makes it seem like the rules / strategy aren't fully formed and doesn't feel like something worth learning. The implementation is great though.

That's the point. Adding the LED does very little to help the user understand the state. In the end, you'll just push the button anyway to make sure.

What, exactly, are you talking about? The OP is referencing the fact that the wife got _everything_ in the divorce. I'd be curious to understand why "facilitat[ing] his success in some way over the better part of a decade" entitles her to everything he ever made.

>> The paragraphs about git were interesting, in the sense that the author themselves suffer from the industry's "I'm right and you're wrong" motto that is the reason, by the looks, that they've left. There is some unresolved conflict there.

> I don't necessarily think that's "I'm right, you're wrong". Instead it looks more like just being strongly opinionated on the matter.

Are you honestly making the claim that the part of the post that repeatedly states "You're doing it wrong" isn't saying "I'm right you're wrong", but rather just being "strongly opinionated on the matter?"

This kind of over dramatizing is tiresome. "Demonic chords" (what's a demonic chord, anyway? Are bees buzzing in a tritone? Are bee hives playing chords?), talking about it sounding like a 1920's vampire movie, etc. Sure makes it sound like nothing in the world could be more creepy.

Then you go and watch a video demonstrating this effect, and it's more like the humming/buzzing sound from the hive is... slower. That's it. It's just slower, lower frequency.

So what? These people will no longer be your run of the mill "runner". They will be augmented, much the way we're augmented by using bicycles and skis, etc.

The original claim that if someone were to be able to move at these speeds that they would suddenly need to be heavily bogged down in safety gear is flat out ridiculous. Comparing it to other sports where we move at similar speeds should be more than enough evidence of that.

This is hilarious, and completely absolves everyone from bad decision making like this. My immediate reaction to 23andme was "there's no way in hell I'm sending something as private and personal as my DNA to a private company".

Why? Because there's no telling what happens to it. It's a failure of judgement to believe that just because a company is reputable today that it will be reputable tomorrow. Companies change owners, they change board members, they get bought and sold. And _hacked_.

So let's stop this nonsense of giving everyone a free pass because it was a "solid, reputable company". Maybe we can give grandma a pass, but someone on a technically minded forum such as HN should know better.

This is exactly the behavior I would expect from someone with a psych PhD.

Seems like this idea is well within the capability of one person to run and moderate it for free / fun in their spare time.

That's a shame you find less than 3% of it interesting.

Have you tried this website called reddit.com? It's just chock full of interesting things and rational discussions. You'll love it there.

> I don't "run further" because of some random need to do more, but because this is an input into my health, and more health is always better.

Pretty dubious claim. You really think that running and health are related in an even remotely linear fashion? It's likely doing it at all puts you way, way up the effort/benefit curve. Constantly pushing yourself for "better" eventually just becomes a waste of time you could put into something else.

So not only do you gain a meditative and rewarding practice of washing something by hand, it sounds like it incentivizes you to cut down on frivolous spending on clothing as well.

We must have very different definitions of the word "friend". I don't count someone I run into on a walk a friend, and I don't think this would fit the definition for the majority of people.

Sounds like you're being friendly with people, which is of course great, but I highly doubt any of these "friends" of yours would help you move.

Came here to say the same thing. This adds absolutely nothing to any reasonable understanding of matrix multiplication. This is the most complex way I could imagine trying to explain what matrix multiplication "is".

If it's useful to someone working in a very complex environment where these visualizations are necessary to help tease out some subtle understanding, then that's great.

But really, this part is all you need to know about the article:

> This is the _intuitive_ meaning of matrix multiplication:

> - project two orthogonal matrices into the interior of a cube

> - multiply the pair of values at each intersection, forming a grid of products

> - sum along the third orthogonal dimension to produce a result matrix.

This 1. Isn't intuitive, and 2. Isn't the "meaning".

OP just told you it was in the spec, and then linked you directly to it. You're just repeating your previous post without adding anything new. Here's a more direct link:

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating stuff!

So where's the proof that the function'd code scales? As the complexity of the overall code grows, so would something that gets chopped into dozens of functions to the point of being unreadable.

Suddenly, you realize that the dozens of functions __need to be called in specific orders__, and they are each only ever used once. So really what you're doing is forcing someone to know the magic order these functions are composed in order for them to be of any use.

Why would you lie about this being pretty neat? Seems like a weird thing to clarify.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted, but yes, I've noticed the same. I commented this exact same thing to my girlfriend about a week ago. Everywhere we go, there seems to be at least a couple of bees nearby, and it some places they are very dense.

Be aware that all maps be untrustworthy. Be aware of your environment. Don't blindly follow instructions. Have a backup plan.

Is it really novel to you that a more modern system is based on powers of 10 for ease of use? Were you just as mad when you discovered Egyptians used hieroglyphics as their method of writing?

I don't understand this feigned "outrage".

Sounds like you need a serious adjustment on your world view if you currently believe you don't have anything to hope for simply because you and your 1500 SAT score didn't get into an elite school.

Very unlikely anyone would care about this ChatGPT-level summary of how a CPU works if the author didn't mention they were 17.

This is a bit like saying "I made you a birthday cake", when what you did is bought a cake and bought some candles, and stuck the candles in the cake. It's of course semantics, but I imagine people would look at you funny if you said you "made" them a cake when you clearly bought them one.
