If you want to play as the only player, use Safari on the Mac. The downside is, your clothes are constantly changing.

I do not play video games, but I played this one through till the end and wish there was more to explore.


Metrowerks CodeWarrior wasn't too bad.

I use Safari Tab Groups on my Mac, but wish they were searchable.


I believe that in the long run, that solution would be preferable to the effects of income and wealth disparity on US society.


And who's gonna want to do complex skilled jobs then if you pay them poorly?


False dichotomy. Reducing inequality doesn't mean people doing complex skilled jobs should be paid poorly.


Sounds great, have fun!


Can you elaborate on BlueSky native apps being bad because they are written in TypeScript?


TypeScript does not compile to machine code (in case of Android, ART bytecode) directly. Instead, it compiles to JS, which has a lot of well-known problems and is not as performant as machine code. Yeah, iPhones not older than 3-5 years will not notice it because of Apple's best-in-class flagship chipsets, but hey, 1) not everyone in the world has an iPhone and 2) why waste computing power and battery life? WASM wouldn't exist if not for JS's poor performance - it simply would not need to! I'm still glad TS exists, though, because it fixes quite a lot of problems with JavaScript DX just by marrying it with types. The only problem of TypeScript is JavaScript. (Arguably, also Microsoft, but this is a separate discussion.) Heck, the biggest problem of the whole web IS JavaScript - that's why there is a comeback trend in HTML/CSS-centric frameworks. JS is simply unable to sustain such heavyweight frameworks as React (including React Native, which is what Bluesky uses). Such frameworks as SwiftUI and Compose are living proofs of that - while you stay with Kotlin/Native or Kotlin/JVM targets (iOS, Android, JVM desktop), your app feels snappy, assuming you wrote it well, because you stay close to the metal. Once you move to Kotlin/JS, though, you are fucked. Immediately, you lose tons of performance, making such a beautiful framework with the best animations API in the world usable only for PowerPoint-style slideshows. Kotlin/WASM backend is still experimental, but future Kotlin/JS backend deprecation is confirmed.


It’s not an actual bus stop. The bus stop is part of the installation. It depicts the scene where Totoro takes the cat bus [1]. But I was hoping it had an umbrella too.

AI for AI's sake might as well be a losing strategy. Apple will probably be fine.


Would you like to die with a young body, or prefer not to die at all? Serious question.


Immortality brings a host of other problems, given that minds are rarely as plastic as bodies. I'm not sure it would be healthy for society to have ideas and people stick around for even longer.


Is it healthy for society to spend 20 years (and increasing) of schooling to get maybe 5-10 years of peak scientific output from a person, though?

Wouldn't it be interesting if we could witness geniuses honing their unique thoughtcraft over millennia? Just how much advanced culture are we missing due to ephemeral, short-lived, desperate nature of our best and brightest?


Fair point!

But I'd counter there are biochemical reasons the best work comes during such a short span.

It'll likely end up being easier to extend that neurologically peak productive period further into late middle age, than stretch an entire lifespan (which may or may not extend that period anyway).


Both, but even just the second one could be useful.
