My one and only problem with SupCom is that it slows down to a crawl when you have many AI-controlled players on a large map. This is still true today - I tried playing SupCom on a high-end laptop from 2017, and maps larger than 10x10 with multiple AI opponents are still unplayable. There are AI mods which supposedly improve this, but in my testing, the difference was minor to non-existent. Which is a damn shame, because even the hardest, cheating AI is very easy to defeat if you're somewhat experienced, so I mostly resorted to playing against 3+ allied AIs, which is simply impossible on larger maps.

That being said, SupCom is easily the best RTS I ever played - it was basically Total Annihilation, only bigger, better and prettier. And TA was already an exceptional RTS, one that people still played and enjoyed as long as a decade after release.

I think TA and SupCom ruined the whole RTS genre for me. I was trying to play some newer RTSes, but they are all lacking in features which the two taught me to rely on and enjoy. Strategic zoom, queues of commands in factories and building units, waypoints, unit formations, ferry routes, terrain obstructing visibility, radars, and getting in the way of bullets/missiles, an economy where you have to balance income and spending, gradual construction of structures and units, massive amounts of units on the map and massive units themselves (experimentals), very well-balanced factions with each still being quite distinct and so on - there are games with some of these features, but I couldn't find a game which would have all or even most of them. SupCom2 was a disaster and I refuse to consider it SupCom at all, so I'm basically still waiting for the sequel.

Or maybe I just missed a game like that - suggestions on the titles to try would be very welcome!

Thanks for the reply! Sorry for the confusion : I should have stated biochemistry.

I went through this course (below)which was really interesting.
However the course focused more on synthetic Chemistry and only briefly touched upon how active compounds are found and extracted from natural compounds.

I also read about biotechnology and went through some lecturers on YouTube and MIT intro to bio course. The impression I get is biotech (recombinant DNA) is cheaper than drug discovery?
Drug discovery seems to have a lot more factors you need to be concerned about (clearance rate, bioavaibilty, binding to too many proteins )that make seem more expensive

Just thinking. Can you make a fork of MongoDb before license change and keep merging upstream changes under former license? Not asking because I want to hurt Mongo, just curious.
The issue is when companies build platforms which are literally designed to allow people to force their views (and often threats) into other people's faces because that "drives engagement" or improves some other bullshit statistic. If companies were to stop doing that, there'd be much less of a push for moderation of those platforms.

Of course, luckily, there's now federated systems like Mastodon which are designed to avoid doing that and to provide the tools for communities to self-organise, meaning one group can have their neofascist server and another their tankie server and the two can block each other and be relatively happy.
It doesn't matter if a few are good at convincing, as long as most are unconvincing. Unless the people who are good at voice conversion are the same people who have done body shape modification aand wardrobe modification and are opposite the people who openly admit about their transness, it's easy to estimate what fraction of trans people are good at changing their voice.

Spontaneous emergence of replicators?
One of the corner stones of The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins) is the spontaneous emergence of replicators, i.e. molecules capable of replicating themselves.

Has this been modeled in silico in open-ended evolutionary / artificial life simulations?

Systems like Avida or Tierra explicitly specify the replication mechanisms; other genetic algorithm/genetic programming systems explicitly search for the replication mechanisms (e.g. to simplify the von Neumann universal constructor)

Links to simulations where replicators spontaneously emerge from a primordial digital soup are welcome.
9 Integration Testing Do’s and Don’ts
If a hypothesis is considered as a species of proposition, then yes, there are a variety of ways in which a hypothesis can be "partly true". Firstly, if the hypothesis is a conjunction, the some of the conjuncts could be true. Propositions can also contain vague predicates with ambiguous truth values. Finally, there is the truthlikeness of the propositions. Some propositions seem to be more true, or have more versimiltude, than others (for which I refer you to https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truthlikeness/)
> people want to consume a tailored tech experience

No, in general I don't "want to consume a tailored tech experience".

When I go to a newspaper or magazine site, for example, I want to read the content I've chosen to look at, just as if I'd picked up the paper in a store. I'll "tailor" my experience by choosing which sites to visit and which links to follow, but I do NOT want the news outlet to "tailor" its content based on having tracked my activity across the web for the past year.

I want to be shown the same content as any other visitor to the site, and to be allowed to explore it on my terms, not have some algorithm looking over my shoulder and deciding what to push at me.

Likewise, when I visit a web store, I want to be offered the same range of products, at the same prices, as any other customer. I don't want the store to analyse my interests, demographic details, past purchasing habits, etc., in order to "tailor" its offerings and prices so as to squeeze the maximum amount of money from me.

If and when a use case arises where I do want a "tailored tech experience", then we can talk about how I might pay for it.

Yes.

'Abusive language' - are you gaslighting me? You are the only one who got personal when you aggressively called someone a 'coward'.

Then I had a centrist accusing me of reading Breitbart when it's likely I'm far more left wing than either of you. Debate facts not people please, and stop responding to me like you're a robot filled with pre-programmed responses who's not actually been reading what I've wrote.
That's a pr problem, not a science problem. But you bring up a good point, even if you come up with the perfect technical solution, if people are suspicious, or there are bad actors out there with pseudoscience products to sell, you can get dumpstered for no good reason. The fact that we're struggling to maintain herd immunity in certain population segments tells you how hard it can be to defend good solutions in the face of irrational paranoia.
I don't get it either - the actual risk of this guy testing on the open road is pretty minimal, he could resume control of the car at any point should things have gone sideways.

Zero risk often achieves zero results - you have to balance your risk with other factors.

1. A few companies offer part-time jobs. They tend to be small and hard to find. Only large exception I know is Amazon, which has a bunch of 30 hour positions.

2. If your friend wants part-time work as an employee, they can try negotiation. It's harder to negotiate for new position, but can be done. I've negotiated less than full time at multiple companies, for example. E.g. I interviewed someone who has been doing 4 days a week for 15 years now: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...

3. There's contract work, where you sign contract for 6 months or whatever. Randstaad and Winter Wyman advertise those. I have no direct knowledge, but my guess is it's easier to negotiate shorter workweek with those, since it's already a staff augmentation kinda thing.

Easiest thing for your friend in particular to do is probably get in touch with previous employers (or previous managers/co-workers who have moved on to other companies). Those companies/managers will already know your friend, and so be willing to give them a try.

> I've always considered GMOs to be the lesser evil when compared to standard pesticide usage.

Breeding poisonous crops has its own obvious disadvantages. Is it better to spray poison on your food that can be washed off, or is it better for the food to be naturally suffused with poison?
I never really played online, but as a kid I was fascinated by the near-automation that TA allowed for with its unit queuing options. I'd happily pay full price for a game that had TA-era graphics, but the AI improvements of today. Though it seems improvements in single-player AI has stagnated with the growing ubiquity of multiplayer [0].

Why are you conflating RoundUp (NOT even a pesticide) with all GMOs? Attacking GMO technology because of one company's misuse is like attacking electricity because of the electric chair.

We're talking about replacing pesticides. Monsanto is in the business of selling herbicides and pesticides, so of course they're not going to use the tech to neuter their profits. If anything they are benefiting from the negative press and comments like your own as it discourage the public from supporting the necessary government research. I doubt this will come from private corporations as the profit motive just isn't there.
There have been quite a few reports recently that wanted criminals were captured because of this technology. Some of those had been escaping from police for many years. It’s about capturing criminals not detecting suspects.

Most interestingly, it happened several times that criminals were caught during watching Zhang Xueyou’s (a pop star) concert. An article mentioning that:

I wouldn’t say the RTS genre has been destroyed per se. We have Stelaris for example and Hearts of Iron 4 some time ago. There is also RimWorld and Wargame. Banished, comes to mind. Oh and of course They Are Billions, great game combining Starcraft and age of empires.

Anyway, I think the genre is alive and kicking — mainly driven by smaller developers. It’s a shame that EA killed off C&C but they only have themselves to blame.
GPL3 doesn't do that. You're thinking of AGPL.
Interesting thing about misuse, is that it prevents the enforcement of the copyright against even non-parties until the misuse has been dealt with.

Practically, that is probably dealt with via a blog post and a retreat to the AGPL, but still.
Agreed. The Pine products have great mainline kernel support if you ignore pretty much everything you might want in a phone/laptop/desktop (graphics, input, etc).
There's logic in CSS. Selector specificity, cascade, inheritance, display types, etc.

Once you grasp the few parts that requires understanding you only need to remember the syntax and the declarations.

Then the real challenge is to organize your stylesheets in such as way that allows your styles to grow.

I've seen from experience that most people don't even try to learn the language. They come in with no knowledge of the cascade, wonder why everything fails and blame it on the language. Most "bugs" related to CSS can be spotted and fixed in minutes.

Ex: ID selectors are always stronger than classes when it comes to selector specificity. A class can also be mixed with an element selector to increase its weight but it will never beat an ID. Someone who is not aware of this will try to have a class selector be stronger than an ID and get strange results. Instead of fixing the selectors they put an !important on the class selector to have it be stronger than the ID. The stylesheet then quickly become a mess.

In Java you can create a shared connection pool for AWS lambda functions, e.g. using DI and initialising your injector statically when classes are loaded by the JVM

It relies on AWS using the same container/JVM for your invocations though which isn't guaranteed depending on what your load is.
I think you're slightly off there. The AGPL doesn't apply to software accessing the AGPL licenced software over a network, it applies to the AGPL software that's being accessed. As in it applies when the software is being accessed over the network rather than when it's being distributed (as with the GPL). This is actually mentioned in the article.
Alright, thanks for the info. I'll look into those.
> has actual numbers for power input per liter of water

Where did you find that? All I could find is "0.8-1.8kW/hr" for a machine with capacity with a capacity of "30gal/day". This is complete nonsense, "kW/hr" is neither energy nor power nor energy per volume of product. And if it's power, why does it vary?

I'm going to read it as 1.8kW, with a capacity of 30 US gallons (113l) per day. My dehumidifier from the hardware store consumes 0.2kW at a capacity of 10l per day. They are 15% more productive... hardly a quantum leap.

My understanding is that AGPL does only for that piece of software, not all layers above it?
... which likely happens as well.
Your proposal is for each facet of content you wish to block be an Addon/Extension/Plugin which is completely unnecessary. Today uBlock Origin and other products perfectly handle multiple lists pulled from different maintainers simultaneously.

There is no one central block list, out of the box uBlock Origin uses something like 9 or 10 different lists and the interface has ~50 to choose from. It also has the ability for you to import your own lists form custom sources and to maintain your own.
Good for Mars colonisation, perhaps? Piss your way to a new Villa! ;)
That is definitely not typical.

Eating truffles in Amsterdam, for example, leaves me laying on the bed seeing shapes and patterns for a while. I find myself extremely entertaining. A little bit of shrooms leaves me happy with a body buzz and a little lazy. It is more like I'm heavily stoned, enough so that I'm assuming your dose was too low based on your description.

If you are interested, I honestly suggest taking a vacation to a place with some legality (Amsterdam, for example), and eating a package of them. Have a friend with you. Wait a few hours before leaving your hotel room. If the response is different, you'll know it was your dose. If you simply don't actually "trip", you have an atypical response.
Yes, you can fork, but no, you can't merge new changes, those come with a different license (except maybe for third-party contributions, you could ask them to double license them under the old one too).
For the future it should be "peace of mind", rather than "piece of mind". English is confusing like that!

TA used to crash at launch on GOG for Win 10 for me, but I rechecked after this and between updates to the GOG setup and/or Windows, it works now. Thanks!
What if it's a false positive due to overly-broad heuristics? For example, try looking at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ads with Adblock enabled. It shows a blank page for me. (Actually I just wanted to see whether "ads" might have a different meaning in another language.)
To add my own anecdote to everyone else's:

I haven't touched Windows or used anything by Microsoft since 2010, save for trying some games that my friends played. These days, if there's a Windows-exclusive game I like, I try to run it in CrossOver/Wine or Parallels/VMWare, or forget about it. Windows machines are synonymous with games consoles for me now, and between my Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Mac ports, I feel I'm well-catered for with regards to games.

I also don't use Google for anything except their search and YouTube, and I was already using the latter before Google gobbled it. iCloud serves my email needs just fine. I also try to block as much of Google's cross-site tracking services on my computers as I can, like Analytics.

If you're horrified or disgusted by the idea of someone sticking solely with Apple for so long, consider that you and I only prove the point that it IS certainly possible to avoid one or more of the 3 major computing companies entirely. Once you're used to the alternatives to those, you may never even miss them.

Been there, done that. Buy a raspberry pi, install raspbian, install nginx, node, whatever the stack is gonna be, configure port forwarding on a router, spend hours to days getting it working. Have tons of downtime--oops you don't have a static ip, oops your sd card got corrupted, hey lets update this to the latest version oh no everything is broken...and on and on and on.

Or, figure out how to use S3 buckets and lambda functions once, and from then on watch everything just work and cost virtually nothing. For small (I'm the only user) types of projects, I'll stick to serverless for now on, so I can be a programmer and not a sysadmin.
Or, having children. Natalism -- the positive and negative values constructed around having vs. not having children, the pressure put upon women to reproduce until they biologically can't anymore in most (really all) countries -- as a social reality is almost never thought about, much less discussed as potentially 'adjustable'.

Upstream changes made by the project sponsor would be expected to be copyright and released only under the new license.

Unless the copyright holder permitted it (perhaps via the new license), it'd be copyright infringement for anyone to distribute those upstream changes under different terms.
Except that this isn't hindsight being 20/20...this is foresight.
