- Comment on Mom of the year 4 weeks ago:
if i may be pedantic for a sec, a lot of people mistake punishment for “negative reinforcement”.
“reinforcement” means encouraging and reinforcing desired behaviour. “positive reinforcement” is providing positive stimulus as a reward for good behaviour, like giving a dog a treat for obeying commands. “negative reinforcement” is removing negative stimulus as a reward, like stopping the obnoxious low-health beeping when you heal a pokemon from critical health.
“punishment” is for discouraging undesirable behaviour. “positive punishment” is adding negative stimulus, such as physical abuse; and “negative punishment” is taking something away, like taking away an unruly teen’s phone.

who do you plan on voting for

if you, gun to your head, have to choose between harris or trump, who would you prefer?

the 24 fps thing is one hella myth. our cones and rods send a continuous stream of information, which is blended with past-received information in our perception to remove stuff like the movement from darting your eyes around.

- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
to add to the subject of gaming, i personally do not recommend using a keychron for gaming. the latency, at least the one i’m on (keychron C1) is quite a noticeable downgrade from the logitech keyboard i switched from, though at least it feels and sounds miles better than the logitech.
as a disclaimer, i am very sensitive to that latency since i’m a modern tetris player. it’s also way less noticeable in shooters and other 3D action games, so for most people it’s fine.
for a gaming keyboard from a non-shitty company, you can’t get much better than a wooting.

- Comment on Is there any advantage to tying game logic to frame-rate? 3 months ago:
Game engines are still very much all functionally tied to framerates; it’s all just a matter of making that logic function the same across different hardware and framerates, generally calculated from frame times (we call it “delta time”).
Freya Holmér has a fantastic mathematical breakdown of one pretty common (and deceptively complicated) framerate-independent function: lerp smoothing.

I’m not having the same problem. My Twitter feed is filled to the brim with gay furry porn with a sprinkling of indie game development posts, just how I like it.

If it’s digital and Playstation refuses to cooperate, I’m afraid it’s no dice.
Unless you’ve played through Sekiro already, you should do so and get your money’s worth at least.

- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 6 months ago:
im lost as to how you consider it slavery when it’s supposed to be a consensual and mutual legal agreement of partnership. keep in mind that in most cases, either party can exit the legal partnership whenever they want through the process of divorce.
if either side does not want the marriage, then sure. but having a dedication to a loved one hardly constitutes “slavery”.

So you’re saying that addicts fall back into addictions more easily than the general populace does?
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
I do jot down the volume measurements that I use any time I bake (approximate, never exact, since I adjust little by little based on how sticky my cookie dough or how wet my pizza dough feels), and using that gives me consistent results already.
There’s not enough variation in the ways I scoop my flour or salt or baking powder or sugar that would net me results that are noticeably different to my previous batches.
I just find this method more fun. Perhaps people prefer to skip the step of cooking by feel and adjusting their flour amount based on how wet their dough is, etc., and just prefer to follow exact steps to get to an end result; I myself find the challenge fulfilling.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
You’re just putting words in my mouth at this point. I’m saying that being anal about precisely measuring my food sounds like a miserable time, nothing about scales or justifications for “how I do things” (which is how everybody here, where I am, does things).
And while I applaud you for trying to be health-conscious and count your calories, I simply just do not care about doing so for myself. You do you, but so not preach it to me, for I have no need for it.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
I’m gonna be honest, being anal about exactly how much chicken I eat sounds like a miserable time.
Sure, track salt intake and carbs as portions for those are more easily controlled without leaving awkward amounts of food trimmed off, but chicken?
Like you demonstrated, just halve the pieces, in which case weighing the chicken is pointless as it’s already roughly where you want it.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
I don’t see the point of consistent results outside of a commercial setting, but that is an entirely subjective view. I personally find more enjoyment in testing and tweaking and changing things up, even in baking.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
Entirely agree! I go entirely by feel most of the time and only use cup/spoon measurements as a first step when I’m making batters or cookie or pizza doughs before adjusting based on how the dough is incorporating. At that point it’s less of a measurement tool and more of a scooping tool to me.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
Chicken breast is generally measured in “pieces”.
If you’re measuring a whole chicken breast by weight, what are you going to do if a piece exceeds the weight called for in the recipe? Are you just going to cut off the excess bits? And where would those excess bits go? The bin? The freezer, perhaps, but which recipe would call for “just a sliver of chicken”? Would you rather not just keep that excess weight in and have a bit more chicken in your meal just to avoid all the fuss?
I wouldn’t measure chicken at all.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
Unless you’re baking cakes from scratch for fun or trying to make aesthetically perfect macarons, I just don’t really see a reason to use a scale.
With cup measurements, it’s scoop, level, dump. I hate having to fuss around with getting perfect measurements of ingredients; it’s the second-most boring part of cooking.
I really subscribe to Adam Ragusea’s methodology of “cooking by feel”, and just so happens it aligns with how my own culture treats cooking as well.
