Seems like no one's commenting that the study isn't actually about marijuana - it's regarding the access to the cafes. My instinct tells me that they're probably not entirely off on the conclusion but it seems like a more complicated relationship - if I couldn't get into the place where all my friends hung out, of course I'd have more time to study!

Often when I see something about 4d it uses this same analogy: a 2d being seeing a crosssection of a 3d world, in 2d. However, the video is in 2d, and it's able to show 3d in a much better/more clear way, clearly, cause when it's showing that example it's got a cutout of the "3d" view (which is still 2d!).

Why can't we do the same thing with 4d? Why does the object just disappear when it bounces into the 4th dimension, can't we maybe see a projection of it onto the 3rd dimension?

Actually, AI for games is pretty much never equivalent to AI for non-games. The end goal is different - games want to provide a non-optimal set of instructions, so that it's challenging but not impossible to win. The goals are entirely different.

If you're making a game, this is probably at least a useful example to look at, even if I don't agree with some of the decisions they made (uninterruptible moves, for instance)

I use the keys on that row, and having physical keys gives me the useful tactile feedback that I've pressed a key. Sounds dumb, but it's real - it's the reason that keyboards are much better to type on than touchscreens.

A quick peruse doesn't show that there's a way to only commit certain parts of a file (like you can do in vanilla git via `git add --patch`)

Or just turn off notifications on every message? I only get notified on @mentions and I don't feel like I'm oncall.

Re: Generators - I don't know why it's so hidden, but the Enumerator class allows you to make generators

```

enum = Enumerator.new{|y| a = 0; loop{y << a; a += 1}}

enum.next => 0

enum.next => 1

etc

```

I believe this has existed since 1.8x

Re: back pressure - that's what I was most interested in, and I was sad to see it not addressed. I got a silent brass mute for my horn (trombone) a couple of years ago, but found that playing with the mute in (like any other practice mute that I have used) felt extremely different than playing without; especially in lower registers. Even the older version was magical - making me silent but still able to hear myself, but the cost is long term usability.

No - it focuses advertising efforts on people who have visited your website. So, you look at a jacket, but then aren't sure you want to buy it, retargeting makes you see that jacket again and again until you change your mind. Then you keep seeing it anyway.

That's my point: I feel like software salaries are so much more than decent living wages. I don't feel bad about what I do personally, but I feel bad about our industry as a whole.

Yes, it is a lot of money. Those professions make a lot of money too.

I feel a little guilty because I have friends who are doing things which are way better for society (teachers, for instance) and are damn good at what they do, but making only a fraction of what I make. I feel good about what my company does, but I don't think we (or especially other companies that are adding so little value to people who actually need it, rather than essentially just the tech elite in SF/NYC/etc) are adding so much more that it justifies the huge disparity in salary.

That's orthogonal to the point, though - when I write ruby, I don't care about how it will get parsed, I care about how it will run.

Not to be contrarian, but flux is nothing like nomic. Rules in flux don't interact in unexpected ways (there are a few variables that change, notably, draws per turn, maximum hand size, and win conditions which are generally what cards you have out in front of you in order to win) but the player has no freedom to make up new rules on her own.

If you click on the "Try demo" button it doesn't do anything.

I think OP is commenting on how they are calling it "One-Day Apple Shopping Event" rather than actually mentioning black friday.
