  1. I thought, surely it's dead simple to comment that out. I think it's just these two lines.

  2. The way you wrote this and your previous comment above led me to believe your account is new. I checked it, 74 days at time of writing. I get the impression you haven't read the guidelines here. I like this place as it is generally civil discourse and have no qualms being the person that points you to the "In Comments" section of the guidelines.

    Be kind, rewind.

  3. I downvoted you due to the way you're communicating in this thread. Be kind, rewind. Review the guidelines here perhaps since your account is only a little over a year old.

    I found this article useful and insightful. I don't have a bot problem at present I have an adjacent problem and found this context useful for an ongoing investigation.

  4. This is insightful thank you. Question: if you work with a wide range of AR displays, what do you suggest that's readily available and has a sdk?
  5. Counterpoint: things like the Valve Index for VR simply don't behave well in this environment no matter how much I've worked on getting it there.

    I'm not a novice either, $dayjob has me working on the lowest levels of Linux on a daily basis. I did linux from scratch on a Pentium 2 when I was 12. All that to say yes I happen to agree but edge cases are out there. The blanket statement doesn't apply for all use cases

  6. Soulseek is likely the one you're remembering. I remember talking to people with similar collections of music. Hotline was my primary passion for quite some time but soulseek had a longer run of utility in my childhood on the nascent web.
  7. Agreed. It's not an appeal to authority it's a paragraph I enjoyed reading and remembered in this context
  8. I'm actually glad you posted this because it reminded me of a quote from Wittgenstein's page on Wikipedia [1]

    > According to Wittgenstein, philosophical problems arise when language is forced from its proper home into a metaphysical environment, where all the familiar and necessary landmarks and contextual clues are removed. He describes this metaphysical environment as like being on frictionless ice: where the conditions are apparently perfect for a philosophically and logically perfect language, all philosophical problems can be solved without the muddying effects of everyday contexts; but where, precisely because of the lack of friction, language can in fact do no work at all.[259] Wittgenstein argues that philosophers must leave the frictionless ice and return to the "rough ground" of ordinary language in use. Much of the Investigations consists of examples of how the first false steps can be avoided, so that philosophical problems are dissolved, rather than solved: "The clarity we are aiming at is indeed complete clarity. But this simply means that the philosophical problems should completely disappear."

  9. What is logic here against the subjective internal experience you're responding to. Do I have to hold an axiom true to believe the person describing their internal experience is specifically as Chomsky proved in the language of logic?
  10. I try to tell all new programmers that ask me for advice that keeping abreast of the words of tools that are available for use is a big part of the work and shouldn't be left out. If I quit my daily / weekly trawl of what's out there, I'd surely start to atrophy.
  11. Oh. Sounds like you're referring to Agile and Standup with capital letters. In my experience people talk about agile-with-a-capital-A and standup-with-a-capital-S and those two don't really match what actually happens in the real world, at least in my experience.
  12. I disagree, but mostly just in the present. Sometimes I take an active approach to getting unconstructive communication out of where my eyes naturally go. It's rare. It's a feeling in a moment in a context as kind as I can possibly be. This has been net positive, but sure we agree in this context it's just a forum on the internet and I click my share of downvotes like any other.
  13. I guess this is a sort of meta comment rather than a reply. You seem like someone who hasn't had an account for a long time and upon clicking your profile I see that is in fact the case. It seems plausible that you haven't read the site guidelines, so I'll be that guy and point you to them. I like this place largely because of the good moderation. I hope you come to like this place for the same as the years go on.

  14. You're the real mvp on this thread. Thanks I figured this was in place but never thought through the ttl bit.
  15. Lol. Sorta flattered to be taken for some sort of automated collection activity. Gotta be the second chance pool
