Loom is, to this day, my favorite adventure game of all time. For me, at least, it succeeded at the primary goal of any game, which is to be fun.

I don't think it's nostalgia, because I didn't play Loom until long after it first came out. I had played many of the other LucasFilm games at this point and most of the AGI Sierra games.

I agree that it was inferior in storytelling to many of those[1], but it was just a heck of a lot of fun, with the puzzles ranging from obvious to "obvious in hindsight."[2] combined with the extremely minimal, yet novel interface just struck exactly the right chord with me.

1: Gabriel Knight, Day of the Tentacle, and Planetfall stand out in my mind as some games from 3 different companies that spoke to me in the way that you seem to be talking about

2: Even LucasFilm, which was 100000x friendlier than other adventure game companies (don't ask me how many AGI games I finished), had the occasional terrible puzzle). Loom is on the extremely tiny list of adventure games that I completed 100% solo; most games I've finished I played with friends and we usually could get each other un-stuck.
I see your point but it's entirely academic. How exactly do you think a "muslim ban" would be enforced? Do you actually for a second think there's going to be a registry or a proclamation for POTUS to ban all muslims? This is how it's implemented in practice; you're just splitting hairs to determine the theoretical merits on whether it constitutes a "muslim ban" or not.
Because it's uncomfortable to accept. On the one hand, democracy is touted as the perfect system in terms of fairness. But then the intellectuals are not content with letting people choose how the people, their local communities and inspirational leaders have convinced them into voting.

I.e. It becomes about controlling mind-share. Calling something out as "unfair", "biased", "propaganda", or "fake news" is one way of controlling the amount of mind-share it has with people that identify with it. So you can't just "let someone" have their "wrong" opinion, you have to "correct them". That is precisely what political correctness is, it's to "put down" unacceptable opinions with public witch hunts and legal pressure. I have no idea when it went from "leave people alone" with their probably "wrong" opinions, into "omg, you're not allowed to think/say that, you must be sexist/racist/homophobic and we'll make life a living hell for you, and we'll get you fired".
Well, there's also another thing: according to empirical research, "explaining things" about language doesn't make you better at that language. The part of your brain that handles language is simply incompatible with that kind of input data. (The input data that makes your brain better at language is comprehensible linguistic input embedded in communicative context. That is, language that is trying to communicate meaning to you, and is simple enough for you to get the rough understanding of that meaning.)

Not that it hurts, though.

Hi 23432, thank you for your kind feedback :)

I have not used iMacros before but did a quick check. I guess one of the difference would be it costs between $500-$3000 for different types of licenses (common for RPA software like Automation Anywhere or UiPath), while TA.Gui is under MIT license free to use/modify/share.

iMacros supports scripting by writing code, while one of the primary aims of TA.Gui is to minimize writing code while still supporting datatables, object repositories, incoming and outgoing API calls etc. I can't add more since I have not used iMacro but have noted this tool for reference.

For Kantu, it reminds me of SikuliX project, except that SikuliX is for entire desktop while Kantu is for browser. Have noted this down as well for reference :)

It's the same tired argument with a new skin.

Headline: "McDonalds refuses to hire blacks for being inferior".

Reality: A racist shift store manager of a single store owned by an absentee franchiser is caught discriminating in his hiring practices and promptly fired.

Is the headline misleading? It's a factual statement that a McDonalds in the context described above did do exactly what they were accused of.

So back on point, yes it was a Muslim ban and no it wasn't a ban on Muslims. Both sides are trying to frame it for maximum affect and the result is we grow further divided as a people.
It's funny to see how well this has stood the test of time; these concepts are still perfectly valid today (although wuch is right that Hungarian has fallen out of favour.)
Does not change fact its not a "Muslim ban"

Surprised so many in here are defending the press making things up...but goes to show how the bias is effective.
I think there is plenty of evidence that the EO order was designed to be a "muslim ban" [1]. Fortunately it was done poorly, and didn't hold up in court so far.

My understanding is that "fake news" refers to stories fabricated, often by small-time entrepreneurs, to make money off of Internet ads and typically spread through social media. Propaganda, on the other hand, is biased or fabricated stories promulgated to forward a political agenda, especially by a government or other entity in a position of power. However, the term "fake news" has rapidly been politicized, and a lot of people, especially on the right, have used it to refer simply to biased news and false reports (typically with the implication of insufficient checking). So three really different motives here:

1. Fake news makers are exclusively after money.
2. Propagandists are exclusively after a political end.
3. Journalists are mostly after the truth, even if they are very biased and far from immune from the corrupting influence of money and political ends.
If we take that further, perhaps we need to fix the discoverability and verifiability of facts and statistics.

There needs to be a single store, or repository of it all. Until that happens, news is just a "peek" at something, which will inevitably include bias.

Donald Trump Appears to Make Up Sweden Terror Attack
Every time I try and point out some media bias against Trump I have to preface it with the fact that I'm not a Trump supporter, but doing so when advocating for press transparency is getting tiresome. I see lots of people having to add the same disclaimer when exposing the MSM obvious bias because we know that going against the main narrative is interpreted as supporting the 'other side' these days.

I also keep seeing articles on HN and elsewhere talking about how Facebook or Google or whoever can fix the spread of Fake News or misinformation. The elephant in the room is that the problem lies with people, the majority of people, who do not care about facts or accuracy. I believe for most people the constant stream of "news" on Facebook is just a modern soap opera. Why watch Eastenders when you can have a live streamed 24/7 stream of drama in front of your very eyes. Facebook cannot fix peoples disposition towards their attraction to sensationalism. I don't even think this is a recent phenomenon, it's just taken a while for people who would usually take part in this offline to transfer it online and we as the people who grew up with the early internet are only now experiencing it in our space and thinking it is something new.

>that cleaning does save some lives (and misery).

Does it? I'd imagine if it really did the Europeans would switch to the refrigerated approach asap.
I get that kids' brains are malleable at that age, but they still have a tendency of thinking in a certain way. Programming requires quite a sequential and linear way of thinking that some kids just don't show a preference to it.

I've got two nieces, one is 4 and the other 2. For the four year old I tried using different games that are similar to ScratchJr. She's a lot more arty/dancey so even though she likes playing games on the tablet, these sequential typed games really didn't do it for her. She would just get a bit bored.
The other kid, never plays with toys(ever!) she only draws and plays dress-up, but regardless, I bought her a code-a-pillar (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisher-Price-DKT39-Code-a-pillarTM-...) which is for ages 3-6. So even at the age of two she started playing with the code-a-pillar (obviously with the help of her mum), and managed to make it snake around all of her other (unplayed with) toys. So she clearly showed an interest an inclenation to sequential thinking.
(Next I'm gonna try get her using ScratchJr, then getting her a Kano or moving to Scratch.)

Personally I would have loved getting them both involved, but ultimately I think only the two year old show's a preference to that "type of thinking".

It's platform for skill based voluntary work
I spent a few years oncall overnight at a company with very high pager load, and my sleep seems irreparably damaged in the same way. I wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep, and I almost always wake up well before my alarm (after 6-7 hours), even though I still feel tired and remain tired through the day.

I think there's something here, but I haven't figured out what or how to fix it.

Things I've found that have helped:

A thorough eyemask and good earplugs reduce the awakenings and help me sleep in a bit longer.

An air conditioner that runs into the morning to keep it cool - I think the air temperature warming after the sun comes up starts to trigger wakefulness?

Cutting out sugar and caffeine after 6pm, which helps getting to sleep a little.
'No country right now including allies can adequately identify terrorists'. Correct and gets to the heart of the problem. In other words, people's intentions cannot be judged by the stance their government takes. In the absence of adequate identification, minimizing the chances of someone being maimed or killed is, for me at least, more important than the 'tarnishing' or not of a country. The question then comes down to estimates of the likelihood of this happening with incomers from country X bearing in mind that it's what is likely to happen in the future rather than in the past that counts. I have no data to hand on this so cannot comment. Maybe the estimate is very low in which case the anti-ban people are right. Otherwise?

I don't have a problem with third party tools or need to run a setup scrip on Cygwin or LXSS, but shell scripting just seems easier than a tool like ansible because you have a full programming language (albeit a terrible one), and you can use familiar command line utilities to do everything. (You can use them in ansible too, but it is frowned on -- you are supposed to relearn how to do everything using modules that are usually less powerful than the equivalent command line utilities.) I have never had to manage a huge fleet of servers, so maybe ansible has advantages in that setting, but for setting up a single box it just seems to make everything harder.

I have volunteered for the UN Online Volunteer [1] program about a decade ago, but (sadly) I won't recommend it.

Most people volunteering there have no experience in the field, they are mostly students or retirees who "want to try". I joked at the time saying that I would not have accepted that work if it was paid for. Worst part is, you can't really tell people they won't do, because they're doing this for free and with good intentions. Actually, scratch that: worst part is that survey at the end of the mission where you had to rate people you worked with on tons of criteria ; that was horrible.

I would say, if you want to be helpful but not have the worst "work" experience you can have, you should probably find yourself a problem and fix it with a side project. Either host the service and allow people to find it, or just open source it with easy install steps (but there are more chances here that it won't be actually used).

>"and a lot of people, especially on the right, have used it to refer simply to biased news and false reports (typically with the implication of insufficient checking)."

I read a lot of what most would consider "alt-right" news. They've repossessed that term and now use it to refer to really biased reporting on the part of the "mainstream media". The accusation is usually very biased reporting, blatantly favoring left-leaning ideas and politicians, as well as not reporting on issues that contradict the mainstream narrative.

Sometimes they go too-far with conspiracy-theory-level stuff, I'll give them that. But for the most part, they're spot on when it comes to reporting on the mainstream media's blatant left-leaning bias and selective reporting. When I read them, it sounds like a "normal" person, one that doesn't jump through hoops to justify their points. The points are just there.
Well that's an entirely different problem to attack.

Exercise: I used to do all kinds of programs incl "45 mins a day, 6 days a week" but found "sufficiently enjoyable results" while keeping the process enjoyable and in full balance with the rest of my life with just 3 reps a day, no break days, cycling through 8 exercises. Good enough for both health and looks if no Mr. Olympia goals.

For learning, the right balance is a lot harder to strike IME. Going too hard on oneself or too soft is a real danger. The motivating goals for learning something or other will have to be consistently and sustainedly present to settle into the right balance over time. Whether (perceived) low stamina is merely due to "the undertrained stamina muscle", mismatch of expectations and results, or some deeper real physiological/psychological factor is also the the likeliest found out by yourself. Not reason not to go meta on this roadblock!
