I assume they thought the person on top of the mountain is a man instead of the same woman with her hair tied back.


because it's AI and badly drawn, it's difficult to tell. A real artist with intent to state it one way or the other would make sure it was unambiguous. which is my point


What are some famous examples?


Eclipse, Azureus, Minecraft, MySpace with ColdFusion, OpenOffice's Java parts...


These are the failed projects?!


These are the "famous" failed projects. All of them lost most of their user base or required a rewrite or lost to a faster competitor.


> Minecraft

Typo?


Why? It's horrendously slow thanks to the wrong language choice and also required a rewrite (bedrock).


The model assumes the day begins with focus time. My day always starts with me recovering from the stress of my commute.


What is Astro? What did you use to make those graphs?


Astro is a JS framework for building websites. It’s dynamic enough for my needs but generates static sites.

I’ve built a custom visualization tool for the graphics.


I've tried many Linux distros and Manjaro is the only one that completely fail to install.


I installed Manjaro on many diferent hardware and virtual machines. Just because you can't install it does not mean it is not good for other people.

Problably the problem is your hardware. I have installed Fedora and Windows and it did not install, because of reasons.

So what was the problem? Can you install it again?


Agreed. I like being able to quickly see what is new since the last I visited so that I'm not re-reading the same headlines.


Which career did you switch to?


Health care, with a focus on chemical dependency/addiction that I fell into by accident.


I've found it detrimental to quality because people at my workplace are now submitting code changes in languages they don't really understand (like in multithreaded C++ code). The time they saved is taken from my time having to explain all the problems with their code.


EXT is a Khronos naming convention. It means it is a generic extension, intended to be implemented across implementations.

My brother was identified as "gifted" and I was identified as having a "learning disability". He got pulled out of class to work with other gifted kids on special projects (like computer programming in the 90s). I got pulled out of science class to be taught remedial grammar and receive one-on-one help with math. This made me feel like I was dumber than the other kids and that I had to study hard to compensate. Meanwhile, my brother had everyone telling him how smart and gifted he is.

We both went to university, but he barely got accepted and nearly dropped out. I think I did a lot better at university because I was already accustomed to needing to study.

Many years later I learned that there have been studies about this "praise for effort versus praise for intelligence" dynamic.
