ymmv, but Cane & Rinse might be worth a try. Have about 350 episodes, each focusing on a single older game. The hosts are usually a lot more focused on talking about their memories of the games than trying to be entertaining (there's a lot of wannabe comedians in the videogaming podcast sphere ime).
Only thing that seems a potential big issue with Cane and Rinse is that it's UK based but tbh I'd assume the lack of a fixation on NES would be a breath of fresh air compared to other podcasts

The Jeremy Parish led episodes of Retronauts with Benj Edwards have been really good in recent times too, very informative.

The glasses mentioned in passing here really do seem to be effective for some people so they're well worth investigating if the price is manageable.

To quote an acquaintance who started using them a year or two back: "... it's like seeing an electric sign turned off (colorblind) VS turned on (with my glasses)" and from recent posts on Facebook he's clearly getting a huge amount of value from them.

My understanding of the mechanism is that they suppress the wavelengths that the other receptors are strong in so that the weaker receptors have more of an influence. Presumably they therefore can't help true dichromats.

Doubtless others here know and can explain more.

A problem is that smartphone camera sensors just aren't good at picking up colors exactly. White balance seriously affects the result, e.g. right now it's showing a white sheet of paper as "faint orange" (outside with overcast sky, i.e ideal lighting). And with dark colors, the result is strongly affected by noise, especially for short exposure times.

Maybe the results could be improved by using raw sensor data and longer exposure times?
Shorewall is probably nice tool but I have to agree. iptables (and netfilter thereof) are good to work with. In larger setups we used fwbuilder for generating the policy but it always boils down to understand iptables & netfilter.

Cannot:
Self limitation -

No way to stop page load I think. Very painful :)

No shortcut for search.
No readline bindings in text editing regions.

Webext limitation- takes a while to load.

That's all I use right now.

Ah, so that's what it's called. I thought that was the Amazon model.
Moving everything to first-party tracking could potentially solve a lot of the problems.

It could reduce the across-the-entire-web tracking, categorizing and labeling of users, and instead limit analytics to useful things like "what percentage of my users are on mobile".
My point was that if someone has a severe social anxiety, one can learn to read the language first. This way they can build a model of phrases and how words tie together and so on.

Of course, to actually communicate with people, writing or speaking is required.

Then only with speaking comes the pronunciation. That can be very cognitively demanding in addition to other cognitive loads, so having a vocabulary and phrases ready can help.

I know two foreign languages. The first foreign one I started to learn by accident by listening (English, through kids' movies/cartoons with subtitles) until English formally started in school. At that point it helped a lot to know some phrases and structure "beforehand".

The second foreign one started in school at 14 years old (Swedish), but I did not have a lot of motivation for it back then. Reading felt easier and that is what helped me pick up the language in more detail over ten years later.

I also studied German for two years but never used it afterwards so I can't really speak it. I can mostly figure out stuff I read if it has words I know or can figure out the meaning from the context.

Now, is my lack of German pronunciation skills stopping me from deepening my skills in German? Nope, I can still study vocabulary and reading in general. Of course I cannot talk with anyone in a proper way.

But, at least to me, knowing a language does not imply being able to speak it. Speaking is just one dimension (of reading, writing, listening, speaking).
Accelerating from 0 to 2km/s at 3g (suitable for humans) takes about 60 seconds, and a barrel that's about 70km long (40 miles). That's no easy feat, but certainly achievable. You can get around the barrel length by building a circular barrel (with it's own set of problems).

Just launching cargo is a lot easier, we already know how to accelerate things to the speed of a bullet in a variety of ways. Scaling up a railgun to handle heavier bullets is comparatively easy.
One million a year is not that much, if you live in NYC. Various taxes sum up to about half of that: 330k Federal, 70k State, 40k City, 30k FICA [1]. Health insurance plus copays, a few more 10s of ks. Then there's real estate. Either you rent, or you buy. Rent for a family of 4 in Manhattan, next to a good public school can easily be >10k/month. If you buy, a 3bdr appartment in a similar zone is >$2.5MM, the mortgage plus taxes and common charges are easily >15k/month. Let's say you manage to put aside 200k/year and you want to retire after 3 years of work. If you are about 30y old, your life expectancy is about 52y [2]. That will buy you an annuity of about $22k/year [3] (assuming a 3% annual growth rate). That is far, far from "never have to work again, and pursue your passions in life".

Physically it would be doable with a private jet and some helicopter transfers for the awkward cases. Microstates without airports (San Marino) and tiny islands (Sao Tome etc) might take up a lot of time.

"in exchange of your identity"

can't we stop calling confusing this with "free"?
I wonder if there's not a more basic reason for the observations of the author. When I code as a hobby, my main goal is to make sure that no effort is wasted. I get precious little free time to hobby code as it is, so every minute spent in front of a text editor that's not driving forward to the desired goal feels almost physically painful.

The last thing I want to do in my off time is fiddle endlessly with all the endless layers of friction.

To hobby is to demand instant gratification. The land of hobby seems to want to be connected to the land of research. But research is only truly useful when the desire for instant gratification can be dispelled.

If I'm reading the author correctly, computer modeling might be that magical land where hobby and research can commingle. Where instant gratification can produce tangible research results.

I'm not convinced. Is it really a matter of tooling? Because it seems to me that any kind of modeling that would actually have research potential is going to have to be invented. So now my hobby involves research and invention?

Maybe after I retire.

Transition from Single-Celled Algae into a Multicellular Organism in Real-Time
It's easy to look at a something in isolation and assume you are qualified to cast judgement on where it can be improved but often a decision might have both a negative consequence and also a much further reaching positive consequences too. The sort of people who like to judge things in isolation miss those kinds of complexities.

This kind of arm-chair critic seems to be on the rise on HN as well. People making short, sharp judgements based off very little evidence yet they still feel justified as an expert by their self assessment.

You can stop page load with `stop`, bound to x, provided that the page has loaded enough for Tridactyl to be running.

You can add readline binds to text regions if you want. It's mentioned and linked to on the help page somewhere near the top.
How are you drawing a principled distinction between "if a website tells a browser to load something, the browser should do so" and "a website cannot load malware [except via an exploit]"? Clearly, asking the browser to load an EXE, or run this JavaScript that attacks website X, could be considered malware, so the line is fuzzier than 'if a website asks, a browser should load it'.

'We should patch exploits' and 'all things we would like to not load are considered exploits' seems to be rather begging the question. There is a class of things that use legitimate browser features, but we would prefer to not load by default.
It isn't a good or a bad thing, it's just another design system, where you have some rules. We didn't like Material Design either, that's why we took it and made it more user-friendly.

Sure, but a framework won't help if the output looks bad because the design system is just horrible UI/UX wise.

Related to the GP - Tridactyl has container support with `tabopen -c [container name] url`, for example.

Generally we're much more happy to add features. Vimium cares much more about looks and stability (although we do have a Vimium-style theme with `colours shydactyl`).
> I don't know you and so I'll take your statement that you never stopped learning or being critical about something at face value. The thing is everybody thinks they are the same! If I accused you of not being critical, of unconsciously accepting superficial information and wielding it as if it were gospel, you can imagine how you would feel. This is a deeply threatening accusation.

Yes, everybody has to be ignorant about quite a few things. In a complex world it is just not possible the other way, without getting insane or having a very miserable life. You can also become a quite misanthropic person, which at the end does not help you, other people or the world in any way.

But this also helps me to be more empathic for people, because if they are ignorant about something I care a lot does not automatically mean that they are a ignorant person, they might care about a lot of other things I am ignorant about.

Also I do not think that most people are doing something on purpose. In most cases they are just used doing it that way and not thinking about it. It would be nice if people would think more about their actions, but there just might be limits how much the average person is able doing this.

Acknowledging this also helps me being more empathic. I do not think the single person is the problem, but the culture they are living in, so helping to change this culture is the way to go. People will just follow the cultural changes.

But these are longterm changes and for the shortterm there is only empathy that helps.
