  Worth noting here that correlation does not imply causation and political identity is mutable.

  It could be the case that people near the end of their lives are more likely to align with conservative values.

  I can’t think of a more worthless thing to steal. What’s this guy gonna try to take next? The judges gavel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Find Cow⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What I would have done is started filling in letters randomly and every time a C or W ends up next to an O, choose the same letter or an O to put on the opposite side of the O.

  Its hard to prove, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t a situation where a space can’t be filled in with this algorithm.

  In my experience, it’s much better to watch and listen to your playtesters as they interact with the game rather than listen to what they have to say afterwards. Always try to get a recording of them playing the game.

  If OP wanted an AI answer, they would have gone to chatGPT. Stop wasting water, electricity, and our time.

  I guess refusing to engage with the hypothetical is a choice. Personally I think hypotheticals are most interesting and revealing specifically when they are about impossible situations.

  Like the question: if you could have any superpower, what would it be?

  I would choose the ability to see the future with 99% accuracy just to mess with people by running this box experiment.

  I wonder how much power we’re wasting from people using LLMs to figure out typos

  I must have used up all my luck before meeting you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True staple of the format⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously context matters here. I’m usually happy to answer most questions. I reserve those types of ‘just google it’ responses for the people who skip FAQs, ping me when they know I’m focused/busy and generally don’t respect my time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried Minetest a while ago and was never really able to get into it. The new player experience was rough, a lot of decision paralysis. The texture style can vary between mods and servers. It didn’t feel very cohesive. I don’t know if that has changed since I last played, but to me it didn’t feel like a minecraft killer then.

  From what I can tell, Hytale was supposed to be a bit like Terreria in 3D, as well as a platform for minigames. The gameplay and graphics from the trailers looked really good. I’m sure it would have been a Minecraft killer for some. (Ex. players who primarily play for the minigames like bedwars)

  “boomer” in this is just being used as slang for “old people”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't tell me what to do⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are only 4.29 billion possible values of an int32, so even if you used 2 lines for each case, it’d still be under 10 billion lines of code

  bool isOdd(int num) if (num == 1) { return true } if (num ==2) { return false } …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kotaku being Kotaku⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure it’s going to be “we got isekai’d into a Minecraft world and now we need to defeat [antagonist] before they ruin everything!”

  It’s such a shame because I feel like theres a lot of potential. There are so many faces of Minecraft and ways to play the game (even within the relatively narrow area of vanilla survival multiplayer). Perhaps a better plot would revolve around the friction between these different playstyles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Trump and Harris call to end tip taxes, a wider minimum wage war heats up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When I worked as a delivery driver, I did well only because of tips. If I was paid minimum wage and people stopped tipping, I would have been fucked.

  So basically if your job had no tips, it would require a higher salary than minimum wage to retain workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panik⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you could argue that the series does converge to …999999

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panik⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit if a geometric series on a non-convergent series.

  Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)

  So …999999 = 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000… = 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3… = Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf) = 9/(1-10) = -1
