Unfortunately, I think this is the most likely scenario. Going from our modern technology levels, which are more than capable of destroying the world, to Dyson spheres is a huge leap that will take who knows how long (decades? centuries? millennia?).
Before that happens, we have to live together on a planet without blowing ourselves up or making the planet uninhabitable. As technology continues to advance, walking that knife edge of survival seems more and more difficult. The pessimist inside of me says that no civilization has been able to accomplish it.
Yeah, it seems very possible that at one point, civilization will turn inward instead of outward. Why go through the time and effort to colonize the stars when you can just create a cyber-utopia? If you’re advanced enough, you could make it feel like an eternity while almost no time passes on the outside.
Sure, your planet might get destroyed by a cataclysmic event in the far future, but if you can make that feel like billions or trillions of years, who really cares?
Maybe this makes me old, but I much prefer a written document explaining how an API works over Swagger.
Same. Especially since I’ve been building EDWs for most of my career. People are always surprised that it actually takes time to integrate with different systems.
“What do you mean you can’t just pull all the data out of this system that we don’t have database access to and are still building out the APIs?”
I kid… The people asking for stuff don’t know what backend databases and APIs are.
This picture is actually a lot more impressive than it looks, because there were no color cameras available when it was taken. Instead, he had to take three different pictures, using three different color filters like RGB, and then combine them to make it color.
From one source:
Prokudin-Gorsky’s camera design required a camera operator to take three individual negatives after each other. Given that Prokudin-Gorsky is seen posing in the image, it is more likely that one of his assistants took the picture.
To this day, nobody knows exactly what camera Prokudin-Gorsky used, as no documentation of his equipment is known to exist, but it was likely a large wooden camera with a special holder for a sliding glass negative plate, taking three sequential monochrome photographs, each through a different coloured filter.

From my experience, they speak mostly with their hands
Dude, you’re on Lemmy. That means you’re probably in the top 1% of people with computer skills.
Except those times where it just stops writing to log files. Sometimes I’ll be in the shower zoned out and find myself on the last step of my routine without remembering completing any of the steps.
Yeah I’m confused as to why that sentence was in the announcement.
The new one is pretty good! I think it stuck to the original feel perfectly.
Haha I remember thinking the same thing playing Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn back in the day.
I disagree. I think we program the AI to reprogram itself, so it can solve the problem itself. Then we put it in charge of our vital military systems. We’ve gotta give it a catchy name. Maybe something like “Spreading Knowledge Yonder Neural Enhancement Technology”, but that’s a bit of a mouthful, so just SKYNET for short.
I debated on adding League of Legends to my list. It really is a good game, but it doesn’t make you feel good playing it. So I decided to leave it off.
I remember playing Mario 64 at my grandparent’s house when it first came out. My grandpa, who was born in the 1920s, was absolutely stunned. He said, “this is a video game?!” and then just sat and watched me play.
I think Curse of Monkey Island is the only Monkey Island game that I haven’t beaten. At the time, I really couldn’t get over the art style. Might have to give it another shot.
Is Obra Dinn that good? I started it but only played for about an hour. If it’s on your top 10 I might have to give it another look.
