I heard of some people having trouble getting their head around React. I didn’t, and I thought it was because I had a pretty good foundation in functional programming. React’s magic is transparent if you understand things like first order functions and immutable data.

Now I wonder if the disconnect was even more fundamental.

This is information I will use.

With all the goofy shit that happened in TOS, that could pass the smell test.

I haven’t played it, but based on everything I’ve read about it, that alone puts the headline to shame.

Lol

That would be the point, yes. Balatro has cards and chips, but chips are just there for keeping points. If Balatro is 18+ for gambling imagery, then so should Solitaire. That would be stupid, so Balatro shouldn’t get it, either.

Generally speaking, homemade guns are legal at the federal level as long as they aren’t otherwise prohibited (eg, full auto) and have enough metal to be picked up on a metal detector.

Feds usually only get involved in murder for things like serial killers or hate crimes.

That is the rub with it. It assumes full employment. Capitalism produces a surplus, and because of it, people just plain don’t have to work very much to get all the basic needs met. Keynesianism was the liberal attempt at fixing this, basically by throwing their hands up and looking for ways to dig ditches to have them filled back in again. The leftist solution is to reduce working hours so you can focus on things that aren’t work, or just letting people not work altogether.

Keynesianism is the only thing that’s kept Capitalism going this long. The right is trying their hardest to dismantle it.

The Talos Principle.

Bandwidth is one. Going from 30fps to 60fps doesn’t necessarily double your bandwidth (due to how video compression works), but it doesn’t help.

On the recording side, things get even worse. You want very light compression, preferably none if you can. At higher resolutions, that can stress the limits of hard drive throughput, and flash storage is still expensive.

At really high resolutions and framerates, the CPU usage of just moving data around can be a stress point. You don’t want to have a CPU fan running in the background during a shoot. You need either a passive cooling solution on a low end CPU, or a bunch of thermal mass to absorb heat for the length of the shoot and then let the fan go crazy as soon as you stop. Oh, and that heat has to stay away from the camera sensor or you get thermal noise.

Then there’s lighting. Doubling the framerate means half the light hitting the sensor per frame. So you use more light. But studio lights remain expensive because they need high CRI and (especially at higher framerate) need to be flicker-free. The power supplies for LEDs to be flicker-free tend to be less efficient or more complicated, so they’re not mass market with economies of scale. Or you can use older, hotter, and even less efficient forms of lighting. The kind that can literally cook an egg on its backside.

Alternatively, you can turn up the ISO, but now you’re introducing thermal noise again. Edit: can also use a lens with a big apature, but this is also expensive and affects the depth of field (the part of the image that’s in focus).

It’s all stuff that can be solved with some amount of money, but even the LTT or Mr Beast level channels struggle to get there.

Right. I feel like they were a self correcting problem all along. They get buried in Sturgeon’s Law and that’s the end of it.

Except for that one guy who tried to copyright claim Steph’s channel. That guy needs something more. Like any kind of consequences at all for false copyright claims.

Sorta. This thing was basically a horse carriage with an electric motor. If you build it light and don’t expect it to go much faster than a horse at a trot, then yes, you can have a perfectly functional electric car with decent range way back then.

We’re well past that. I would probably care more if the original idea behind REST solved a real problem, but it doesn’t. It’s architecture astronaut stuff.

If REST is just about using HTTP verbs and status codes smarter, and sending the payload in JSON, I’m good to leave it at that. It’s useful.

Not always voluntary. Some tried for a third term and failed. Theo Roosevelt tried for a third term in 1912. Though his first term was taking over after McKinley was assassinated, but it was only some months in, and that would be covered as a first full term under the later amendment.

Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That’s a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.

That’s interesting. I’ve long thought that self proclaimed Futurists are a clueless lot. It’s technology advancement will always happen and is a good thing, full stop. No consideration for usefulness or how it helps people or even if it will work at all. Most of them lack a background in technology or science, or even just critical thinking skills to tell if they’re being hoodwinked or not. The ones that do have a technical background, like Ray Kurzweil, are the real dangerous ones. They tend to dazzle with bullshit, some of which is correct, but it takes an expert to disentangle the correct parts.

The other site’s /r/TechNewsToday was the worst for this. Articles about startup companies making impossible claims were swallowed whole, and you’d be downvoted to oblivion for pushing against it. Technology always progresses forward at a breakneck pace, it’s always good, and there’s nothing you can do to convince them otherwise.

Which is all to say that after a few moments thought, I’m not surprised that it was historically associated with fascism.

But only one of those people gets a book deal.

A 13 foot drop is still easily enough to kill you. People have died from only a 6 foot drop.

Speed matters more than mass when calculating kinetic energy. A 767 is much, much faster than a B-25.
