  • Feel free to look them up, I'm not preventing you from doing that.

    I've had my own field experience with evaluating PHP vs Python, and know who came out on top.

  • Yeah, prehistoric life is sometimes portrayed as simplistic, skipping the fact that hunter-gatherers knew the landscape and all plants, grasses and animals for kilometres around. Kim Stanley Robinson's novel ‘Shaman’ does a decent job of depicting what life in those times might've been like.

    Granted, I instead memorize my city's streets and organization of my computer stuff.

  • Can't copyright game mechanics, because copyright involves a particular arrangement of words, visuals, or sounds. But can potentially patent them, not sure what the legal consensus in the Questionably United States is like about that.

    As is tradition, copyright keeps getting confused with trademarks and patents time and again.

  • The above-mentioned 'Choose Your Own Adventure' series is all like that, though with different mechanics.

  • I'm gonna guess there are popular communities for this, just like AO3 for fanfics. Where one should advertise their creation.

  • I recommend learning proper touch typing with the 'correct' finger position. Its benefit is that there's proper movement for every finger for every key, which is mostly symmetric and very regular, and it gets ingrained in muscle memory. Hence typing anything is quick even if it's not fast overall. The fingers 'know' what they must do for any letter, and it's often faster to let them do their thing than to e.g. reach for the mouse. You can actually feel when you press a wrong key.

    In case of a mistake, it's faster to delete a few words and retype them than to move the cursor back and forth. And if you get an app like Alfred (for Mac) or Keypirinha (for Windows), you can invoke it with a shortcut and type a few letters faster than you open an app or click on some widget with the mouse — it's often quicker to switch apps via Alfred than via cmd-tab. Likewise, when you use a keyboard-heavy app like Emacs, calling its commands becomes a breeze.

    I'd like to use Dvorak or at least Colemak, but I'm concerned that all shortcuts would be messed up. Especially since I'm a user of Vim-style movements and commands.

    Also, TIPP10 app is pretty nice for learning. No fluff, no extra stuff. Initially took me about a month to learn with half an hour or so a day, and about a year to fully get used to it and develop the speed.

  • Ironically, with touch typing I know when I make mistakes even if I'm looking elsewhere. It's just obvious when a finger does a wrong thing.

  • Clarus the dogcow vibes.

  • This has nothing to do with users' stats. This has to do with how advertisers judge if it's worth to place ads on a particular platform.

  • I vaguely heard that they want to change procedures for EU initiatives away from vetoing, so Orbán can't hold things hostage like he did with Ukraine aid initially. He was already asked to go drink some coffee when they were planning another aid package sometime in 2024.

    However, I wouldn't be surprised if changing the procedures takes twenty years.

  • Gorgeous. Seems pretty demanding on the decorator, however — both in labor and in moral dubiousness. Printing offloads the effort onto the customer, and allows photorealistic-ish pics. Can't argue against the 3d factor, though.

  • First stage: denial.

  • Nice, this potentially opens up some prospects of questionable cheeky presents.

  • Is that a piece of paper on the cake? Otherwise I have to wonder as to how the picture is made.

  • The author is obviously missing out on a market that's ready to shove money in the author's hands.

  • I mean, you can tell it's not Tingle's book because the title doesn't take half of the cover.

  • Reddit's advertising clients would see that the clickthrough rate is shit. Which dictates the price that they are willing to pay for the advertisement.
