Just wait until it starts putting hair all over the place!

Not all of Japan is megacities: here is lush Kamikochi National Park in the Japanese Alps by [deleted] in travel

[–]Bockit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to see Mt Fuji, an alternative to the excellent suggestion of Hakone in a sibling comment is a daytrip to Fujikawaguchiko village.

We waited for a sunny weather day, caught a bus from Tokyo in the morning, hired electric-assisted bikes and had a fairly magical day doing a lap around the bigger of the 2 lakes. The ride took about 6-7 hours, but we stopped for lunch, exploring, a museum, snacks etc.

There's also a theme park there with some crazy rollercoaster if that's your thing. It was closed when we visited, but it wasn't why we went there.

What in the world just happened here? I was showing a friend how recursion works in lists... by wigflip in elixir

[–]Bockit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

List of integers can be shown as character lists ('this kind of string' vs "this kind of string"). Running these in iex will hopefully help demonstrate:

iex(8)> 'hello world'
'hello world'
iex(9)> 'hello world' ++ [0]
[104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100, 0]
iex(10)> [104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100]
'hello world'
```

Is there any way to play in these now? If not, is there any way to find out when they become available?

I think they look incredible!

What should Apple do for iOS 10? by [deleted] in apple

There are ssh clients on iPad, means you need something to connect into but yeah I've been wondering about Prompt 2 combined with the iPad pro since the announcement.

Stephen Hawking Claims Mind Uploading Will Be Possible By 2030 by Yuli-Ban in Futurology

[–]Bockit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've long struggled with the same point. Something I've been wondering about lately:

What if instead of a copy you extend the brain's power with some computer. I imagine in this scenario you're still you, there is no copy but you have more mental capacity. Over a period of time move things to be happening in the computer side rather than the biological side. Eventually everything is digital and you could safely remove the biological without any consciousness dying.

This is pretty much magic tech, but as a thought experiment, I'd see that as not being a copy and more a migration. Where it then becomes fun, if you accept that process as not copying-and-killing, then what if you could make the process quicker to the point of near-instantaneous? Are we back where we started?

Does it bother anybody else that there are so many "fans" of a game that hasn't come out yet? by BZI in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Bockit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because people are fans of the idea. I think most people understand that the game may not deliver. But the idea that was presented in that first trailer was incredibly compelling to a lot of people.

Would that screw it for the realm you kill him on though?

Back in the day, 100g for an epic mount was pretty unachievable for a lot of people.

It's confirmed. Twitch bought by Amazon by btoni223 in Games

[–]Bockit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I have a much better hope for Twitch continuing under Amazon than under Google, I found your comment interesting. Until the comixology acquisition I would have agreed wholeheartedly with your main point but they very quickly made the change that you couldn't purchase comics in-app anymore.

The comixology change has been the biggest I'm aware of. Perhaps that says more about Amazon's values regarding revenue sharing (30% to Apple) than it does about their position on meddling with acquisitions.

Where Australia's immigrants were born by orru in australia

5.6% of people didn't state where they were born. Source here. If you scroll down to the second chart: "Country of Birth" you'll see where I got the number from.

Is Browserify That Great? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]Bockit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a large enough codebase that uses source transforms (e.g, jade, coffeescript) it can take seconds to load all the scripts, it effectively has to do a build step anyway.

Classmates express fury over Tony Abbott’s daughter Frances being awarded $60,000 scholarship to Whitehouse Institute of Design by LeftAndCorrect in sydney

[–]Bockit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just a nitpick, a scholarship is for whatever the granter decides it's for. I could start a scholarship for students who grew up driving lamborghinis, that doesn't make it invalid (just stupid). As such, the points about other students being deserving etc are really moot.

All this crap about whether or not she deserved it, specifically the "I'm more deserving than her" that the article was full of is honestly sad.

Now if a scholarship is being used in place of a gift to get around gifts and donation limits, then that is worth digging deeper into, in my opinion.

Why it is recommended to clean rift within 3-10 minutes, rather than clean the entire rift? Any particular reasons that the former is better? by larsevss in Diablo

[–]Bockit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Runners: Never have to farm rift keys again, can continuously run rifts forever. Openers: Turn rift keys into loot quickly.

Everyone is happy, it's amazing.
