Ah, a common mistake to make. It’s not ‘re-ddit,’ Im pretty sure it comes from ‘reddi-t’ as in “Ready Tea” but like many early 2000s websites they tried to make it sound more approachable, so it’s just ‘reddi-t’ as your cup of tea will be cool enough to drink by the time it’s transmitted all your data.

Maybe you, a single person, don’t have a full knowledge of the industry? Maybe you feel like that because those are the kind of people you’ve been around? Outliers happen, and there’s evidence to back up her statements. Why would you make assumptions about someone you’ve never met just because the people around you aren’t that good?

There’s a great Jacob Geller video about how methods of execution have evolved and why they’ve evolved.

I wouldn’t do it justice but it points out how every time we make a ‘more humane’ way of killing it often just reduces the person’s ability to show suffering, rather than reducing the suffering itself. In many cases the suffering is increased as we say the method is less barbaric; a firing squad has the highest success rate and likely the fastest death.

I can’t recommend this enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eirR4FHY2YY Piped bot do your thing

This sounds like how you get a resonance cascade… Experiments so powerful they make the sky glow as only our star can!

I’m not very familiar with TotK and I’m not sure how familiar you are with game development, but just in case you’re not very:

When making something like a shadow puzzle it is very unlikely they’re actually checking shadow conditions, and if they are it’s probably very sparse/only a couple of pixels.

For instance, if you know the position of the light source, the position of the shadow catcher and the position of the shadow receiver you could approximate the shadow casting with much simpler geometry. If Link is just treated as a box then you only need to check where each corner would cast a shadow and see if that overlaps the area you care about.

When done correctly the player would think it’s link’s shadow that’s being tested but in reality it’s nothing to do with the shadow, it’s just a much simpler estimation of a shadow that works well enough to trick players.

Game development is all smoke and mirrors. Tell the players one thing such as “This NPC is always at this location” then unload them when the player isn’t looking. It’s all sweet lies and I love it.

Hi, different person here, genuine question as I’ve never seen someone who believes that before: can I ask, do you think the temperature rise from entering this interglacial period is correlated with the temperature increases we’re seeing at the moment?

It’s a fact the temperature is going up now, but if you’re suggesting that it’s because we’re exiting another ice age, even a ‘micro’ one, what level of temperature increase would you expect to see, roughly? (Doesn’t have to be a number, just some idea would be nice) Less than when we ‘left’ the not-micro iceage?

I enjoyed the back and forth over the topic, personally, but that initial video of his felt… weak. I didn’t hate it but it did make me want to unsubscribe. It felt like a technicality and like a trick more than anything, to me.

The practicalities of how two nearby parallel wires work versus one big loop wasn’t the question posed, it was based on length (As I remember from watching it once). Felt like a ‘gotcha’ moment with no gotcha.

Who’d have thought that a work force with a large immigrant population would diminish when we kick all the immigrants out 🙃 we’ll still have medical staff, despite a large portion of them being from Eurasia, we’ll still have people willing to do the jobs we don’t want to because the UK is British and strong now, right? Right guys? We can have blue passports back… And… we’ll make our own trade deals! With America, and Australia! We’re still important, aren’t we?

I hate this country I live in, sometimes. Our politicians and older generations don’t seem to realise the last 200 years of history have happened.
