They turned off comments after less than a hour. A lot of angry comments and people poking fun at the article. I'm very surprised the Times even allowed comments. What did they expect?

And what a job they finished!

This was actually the second time I stopped learning game development and it was for the exact same reason and at the exact same lesson; basically I was learning 2D game development, got to the stage where you set up the sprites and can decide how long each sprite lasts for (so perhaps one frame in a several frame long sequence you want that one sprite to last on the screen a little longer than the rest, you can), and also setting up each sprite and such, only to realize I'd have to do this for everything that has sprites and was like noooooooope.

Maybe if I ever try to learn game development again I'll just stick to ASCII games or something. I watch the game dev videos where people make games in a short amount of time, see all the work that goes into the stuff they do, and realize it's not for me.

I'm honestly way too lazy to do any of this stuff. I wanted to be a game developer ever since I was a kid, but I'm also infinitely lazier now than I was back then.

It was extremely funny to see the driver park this (taking up 1.5 spaces) get out, then hop on an electric scooter to drive away.

And only like, what, 2 months after enthusiastically voting for the person who argued that continuing that program and continuing to pay them less than minimum wage was necessary?

The Carter Center posted some beautiful photos from President Carter's state funeral. I would like to commend the photographer of this shot for finding the perfect angle here. The right-hand column is doing the Lord's work.

I'm gonna say it since no one else has apparently. Our sidebar says no anti-nautilism...

Like what is the ultimate fate of the voyager probes and others on escape trajectories? My understanding is that space is far too sparse for these things to ever hit anything by coincidence, so their eventual fate is probably to be ejected out of the galaxy at some point.

They are then unlikely to be moving fast enough to actually cross intergalactic distances quickly enough for the expansion of space to not outpace the distance covered, leaving them in this void forever.

How long would they be recognizable as technological objects before the eons worth of stray hydrogen atoms erode everything away?
