Because people are lazy enough that they will pay money to be told they need to stop being lazy lmao

Its also about language and colloquialisms. If you grow up poor, but go to a school with many wealthy children, you will learn to speak the "language" of the wealthy, which is, in my opinion, what mostly explains the "having potential" that the ruling class will see in your as you enter adulthood.

bringing a stationary desktop to the dorms has never been the correct decision

As silicon valley shifts from cyber-libertarian to cyber-authoritarian, so will HN, unfortunately.

Due diligence is basically the enemy of the "growth at all costs" mindset.

I think the idea of Flock (and all modern software, pretty much) is not just to offer a service, but to offer it as dirt-cheap and lazily as possible with the intent of creating reasonable margins for a product that otherwise shouldn't even be profitable in the first place.

Doing things, "correctly" is sort of no longer the place of software. The idea is to build solutions that are comprised of toothpicks and sticky tacky so you can force out whatever the alternative was and make money for the shareholders at the same time.

IDK about the grass, bro, I've mostly just seen a lot of pavement since I lost my SWE job

The problem is that many of us seek employment from rent seekers. It's all great in theory, but not fun in the in-between times if you're trying to pay your own rent and find placement and nobody wants to bring anyone new on board because they can't find ways to make it profitable.

It might be a good article but I'm not sticking around to find out because I've got the yucks from that line. Brr.

I looked up the VETO diet and I intrigued as its similar to what I've eaten in the past or the ideal diet for me (plant based, low carb) but I just about had an aneurism when it claimed that diary was a "plant-based" protein source. Bro what.

Noita isn't really on the level that DF describes. Noita randomizes wands and allows you to make custom spells by leveraging different qualities, but its not procedurally generating the rules of magic themselves. The rules are locked in from the start.

They made a couple mil off the steam release. It wouldn't have happened without the massive cult following, which only happened because it was free.

IMO, the steam release is not very good. Especially if you had been used to using the top mods that existed before the steam release for ease of control.

Steam release was absolutely botched.

I didn't want to say it at around the time it came out, because I wanted it to succeed... but they dropped the ball in a big, big way.

Lazy Newb Pack and other fan mods are still the best way to play.
