This is an interesting discussion. I’ve had a few loonies rage at me. How do you handle when drivers follow you way too close, like if you have to brake they might rear-end your car? I’ve had this happen a few times and it’s never because I’m driving under the limit, I usually speed moderately at 20% over. My solution has been to ease my foot off the accelerator to slowly slow down to give them a hint. Some catch on and back off, others get aggressive.

Edit: I should note that speeding up isn’t always possible because in some cases I’m behind someone else at a safe distance.

This shit bag was encouraging other shit bags to flood 911 with fake emergency calls.

Right off the bat, the author misses perhaps the best thing about this engine - it’s incredibly fast at prototyping ideas. This is obvious to anyone who has used it to try and make something.

Godot.

It’s definitely underfunded as others have said, but I will also add this - I had the opportunity on Saturday this past weekend to spend some time in the local emergency room due to a sports related injury. I got X-rays and a CT scan done and saw a Dr. And the cost to me personally was about 6 hours. The waiting was a bit long but I brought a book and some snacks, and everyone was super nice.

The correct response is: shhhh it’s quiet time. Those around you will adapt.

My favorite is the one star review when it’s a shipping issue. “Look at this, the box is ripped!”

I think the decentralized but moderated review network is the most important part. I like the idea of local shop keepers with specialized knowledge (I’m thinking of my local goto kitchen store) or just online experts (like the folks at whathifi). I like to research a bit (a lot really) before I decide what to buy and a resource like this would be invaluable. Finding it locally after deciding what to buy can be an issue (especially if you are not in the US), but this aspect could be separate, as is shipping.

Asking a dog owner to use their leash rather than letting their dog walk up to you or your kids.

It would help if the onboarding experience was smoother. Perhaps suggesting the ‘best’ instance based on speed, and if there are several randomize between the less popular instances. For normal people having to read about what an instance is and how to choose one will be a another barrier to entry, perhaps a deal breaker.

When I was involved in the interviewing and hiring of programmers a while back, the number one thing we looked for was projects that you did on your own time.

Different industry, but I’d say you have a very good chance of getting a traditional job, even if they have college degree requirements. You can always pickup whatever you think you might be missing as needed, maybe with online courses.

Also, I’d suggest that if someone or some company discriminates against you because of your special needs, you probably don’t want to work there anyway.

It’s the same downward spiral as A/C usage. Usage will increase with hot weather or bad air quality, which puts higher demands on power. 😞
