When I was fighting some splines at work I found this website very good and very interactive when explaining how Bezier curves work under the hood, a great resource! https://pomax.github.io…

I think ideally you should start with the editor and only move to code once you have a need the editor can't provide. Think of Photoshop. You'd never want to code your own effects or workflo…

For dedicated co-working spaces I think it depends on the person. For me I really like having different people working on different projects around me, developers, artists, writers, etc. I am a fairly…

I don't understand. I don't want my start menu to search my files or the internet or be smart in any way, I just want it to show my installed programs or apps or whatever you want to call th…

Do you have any sources where I can read more about this? I find it surprising

How healthcare works in Europe changes quite a lot per country. Which country specifically are you talking about?

well, it does say it will be funded by a new tax on tech companies

But hiding our views is just avoiding the problem. We should learn to deal with people having different opinions and still be able to collaborate professionally and not turn it into a battleground.

I don't think Thanksgiving is comparable. Spain celebrating the 12th of October as its national day is as if England celebrated Thanksgiving as its own national day.

And Venezuelans don't really buy to store value either. It's just one of the ways to go around currency controls. And lately not even that, as more and more local business are accepting US D…

"Nobody here has a problem with Chinese people in general" The link this whole discussion is about is about banning Chinese people. Not the government, not even people that work for the gove…

I think he's talking about the Github takedown notice, not about Spain in general

Not anymore but do visit often. My family is still there, though

As a Venezuelan this is very scary. Not so much losing Adobe, as we can get around that, but the precedent it sets with other US companies. Losing Twitter would be devastating, Venezuelans rely on Twi…

Maybe, that's a good point. At the same time, we often change our language in other circumstances already, for example, there's a difference how I speak to my grandmother, friends, boss or p…

I don't think it is only English, I find this happens with native speakers of other languages as well. They fail to accommodate their language to fit the people listening to them. I always wonder…

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar brokers in Europe? All the ones mentioned here seem to be mostly US targeted

This reminded me of this real life story of trying to find a German family that got lost in Death Valley. It's a tragic story but I found very interesting how this person tries to piece together …

What's ICE, CCS, Be?

Can anyone recommend a modern book to learn more about early humans? I read "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari which contains a chapter on it, but was left wanting more.

I guess similar to how a chemical lab might use compounds that are illegal in the wild or a pharmaceutical company holding classified drugs.

I think developed and developing is also strange. It implies an universal direction countries have to follow where reality is way more complex. We should instead stop trying to simplify countries and…

Just as a side, the way Valve works is quite unusual in the games industry, most studios are more traditional with better defined roles and hierarchies.

and do you know WHY they want to reverse the LEZ? are there any real reasons further than the opposing party implemented it so I must be against it?
