Cyberpunk, zombie, and conservation media are packed with fuel for human-hating nihilism. As an edgy teenager Dead Space was awesome to me for that reason. But we have to grow up. There is a lot of work to do and the human potential for good is strong. The zeitgeist needs to absorb that message.

In certain contexts, aggravation with crowds can be converted to gratitude with the correct shift in perspective. Be grateful that your favorite cafe, restaurant, museum, or other business is crowded. It means they are doing well and are more likely to stick around.

It gets philosophical too. A mind trained to see problems AND evaluate their importance may find more contentment because they can put in the work to solve the big stuff while properly identifying and not sweating the small stuff.

I don't think I ever had a school assignment, "Identify and define a problem in this area." They always skipped to asking for a solution. It took a master's degree for me to be able to ask, "Is this a problem?"

One tip I have seen is to just scribble, then look for forms in the scribbles and go over them again bring them out. Fill a page with thumbnails in this way and it can kick you out of a creative rut.

All I want for Christmas is boobs!

The excess code is also a thing in that environment, as they encourage prompting for everything. So the platform lacks tools to help devs create structured reusable systems.

Good on the GNOME team. If contributors are not spending the time to craft code, they cannot reasonably ask a reviewer to spend the time parsing hundreds of thousands of generated lines.

In lieu of complete documentation, Meta Horizons leans on a prompt box to inform developers. It is just okay for figuring out what features are available, but daydreams enough API hooks to be useless for actually doing anything.

Which is weird, because in the US the at-fault party usually pays for everything. Therefore, when everyone is required to have car insurance, your car insurance is there to cover what you do to the other person and their property just as much as what you do to your own.

Absolutely, they move away from the sun due to solar wind. We just have a good angle on this one to see the tail swing as it passes its periapsis.

BS headline. Comet tails have the same velocity as the larger body + some velocity from the state change + constant solar wind acceleration. So the tail always goes away from the sun and is therefore always changing. As it passes periapsis the tail will switch from retrograde(ish) to prograde(ish).

You can still get this experience. Support your local library, not cloud feudalists.
