Only ignorant people. I had dreams of visiting and maybe doing a road trip, but under Trump I’m definitely not going there voluntarily. Even if my employer wants me to go there on business I’m refusing. I’d rather find another job than cross the US border.
Here we often don’t get receipts at all. The kiosk also shows the number on the screen, but for some reason they designed the UX so that when it can’t print a receipt the number is only shown for a fraction of a second before it’s hidden by a message saying “unfortunately we can’t print a receipt right now”.
As a developer myself it makes me feel like I want to stab whoever thought this was good enough.
Everybody likes homemade porn.
Addiction is always an escape from something. What you escape to is happenstance, and people who have a tendency to get addicted often just find another addiction after leaving one, unless they can face the thing that they’re escaping from.
But habit is also a strong force. Whatever you do repeatedly will train your brain to return to those thought patterns automatically. Find other associations for your daily events.
I escape from obligations and social pressure by closing myself off and coding. But I don’t really think it has been enough of a hindrance in my life to do anything about it. Often it has been to my benefit (e.g. career) and it’s a way to recharge my batteries.
Maybe you just need to find a replacement addiction that makes you happy. Try tea.
So then they should say that instead.
I’m curious how they define AI. In my view AI has been used for games for as long as games have existed.
Yeah my IT department won’t see that as a feature. They want to be the man in the middle.
Not when you have to do SAML authentication to get a token for your AD account first.
Because women are socialized (and possibly genetically predisposed) to be better at building community and having many close relationships, often more physically intimate as well (touching, hugs etc). So men are less equipped to live alone.
Read Ender’s Game.
The first two thirds of that book took me at least a month to read. Somewhere around the last third I couldn’t put it down and kept reading until the end. By then it was 4 AM and I got only a couple of hours of sleep, but it was worth it. Needless to say, it’s not the same thrill when you already know how it ends.
BTW: absolutely do not watch the movie before reading the book. It’s much worse but still spoils the story. You’ll rob yourself of the first read.
Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.
Fap.
But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.
Apple zealots trust apple. The rest of us don’t give a rat’s ass what Apple does.
I want the Steam controller to succeed but why do they make it look like it’s from the 1980s
Palantir CEO will be among the first to be lined up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Yeah, but I want it.
fb.com. I bet I could make a fortune selling that domain to Facebook.
threats from Musk to step down if the deal is rejected
A threat is a good start, but is it a promise?
Well FQDN you too
Space Quest 3. Wonderful story, funny, good music, and it always gave me this wistful feeling for some reason.
