Hey friend, this looks awesome! I spent some time playing around with a similar idea but ended up chasing it from a different angle (a tool you could use to create arbitrary roleplaying systems, divorced from D&D).

Was just digging around because I was curious how you were doing some things, particularly loading the character and monster data. If I'm understanding this correctly, you've got it all packed into just 391kb of JS which blows my mind!

That said, I think your webpack might be slightly misconfigured for that output bundle - I'm seeing what appears to be the same JS requested twice, under `%5BpageId%5D.js` and `%5BcharacterId%5D.js`.

One feature that I'd love to see added would be the ability to make certain pages, characters, or sections public.

The suggested creatures for an encounter don't seem to be taking the level into account - I'm getting mostly CR 1/8 - 3 for any environment I select, with a single character of level 14.

Overall, great job. Really like the UX, and I think that the quick search is a crucial improvement to existing tools. Being able to quickly search for things and link to other stuff is huge. I'm sure we'll be able to embed other content types soon as well.

Wikipedia is my charity of choice. I am very happy that they are well in the black. I think it would be a disaster if it was ever "monetised", and I want to keep them comfortable with their current path.

It’s a risk, but the data and software is available and can live on. Nonprofit governance isn’t trivial, and usually when the growth stops the founders or management get booted by the board, and a new normal sets in.
Ask “what have you tried already?”

If their answer doesn’t include sshd, give them the benefit of the doubt anyway and ask “what happened when you tried sshd?”

To avoid any likelihood of sounding like a jerk, phrase your inquiry in a manner that makes it clear you assume the other person is as smart as you.
Why 5G? Shouldn't this be applicable to any cell connection? 5G is about throughput, not latency. So if I need to run some low bandwidth latency sensitive app over 4G, can I?

Public/sharing options is something very high on my priority list. I wanted to get the core functionality right before moving on to that feature set.

As for the js bundles, everything including webpack is managed by next.js, and it handles code splitting at the route level. I'd like to converge the /page and /character pages to reduce the network calls, but unfortunately its out of my control right now.

I will take a look at the encounter ratings. Thanks for letting me know!

I wonder how this will pan out with different partnerships. If we want say gcp on Verizon or aws on T-Mobile, will that ever happen or will you have to choose between preferred cloud provider and preferred cell provider?

I guess this becomes a critical reason to do everything in plain k8s or whatever and avoid using any cloud provider paas stuff.
Here's another view of the WMF's runaway spending: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#/media/Fi...

I don't donate to the WMF because they don't need my money, but I wish they just kept Wikipedia running and made small incremental changes over time for scaling/keeping up to date/adding helpful features. I would of course donate if Wikipedia were at risk of failing (not that it would be that hard to rehost and rebuild it), and they know that and exploit everyone who doesn't realize how rich they are with the annoying begging.

As they say: "The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy". If you keep giving a nonprofit money, it will keep growing, even if it has more than enough it needs for its earlier charter.

I certainly don't claim any domain knowledge, but the growth in expenses is so vast that I'm disinclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not, by the way, suggesting that a 3200x growth in expenses is inherently unjustifiable, just that it should in fact be justified.
You can’t “live off interest” like that - you need to let the endowment grow by at least inflation. Or else your endowment and its yearly returns will dwindle in real terms

That would be a start, but my though is more closely related to the C standard, not an add-on like boost.
From my perspective:

- What is the $7 million for "Professional service expenses"? That's 8% of the budget and I've got no clue what it might have been spent on. Salaries, travel expenses and depreciation is already accounted for.

- What is the $7 million for "Other operating expenses"? Again 8% of the budget in "other" that doesn't include something that is depreciated and doesn't include travel?

- What is the $2.7 million for "In kind service expenses"? To me that sounds like internal "funny money" where you are paying for one service with another service you perform. But how are they calculating the loss and what account is that money actually coming from?

I worry that millions of dollars are being spent on consultants who are essentially just pocketing donations.

Also, I'd really like to see the operating costs broken down because it's impossible to see what's going on here. You've got $3 million in depreciation, but what is that paying for? Desks, computers, telephones? Do they pay rent, or do they own a building?

The thing that's frustrating is that there may be nothing at all wrong. For example, I can see $38 million for salaries and wages, with 300 employees. But where are the other expenses? Is that the "other expenses" section? If so, how hard would it be to break down that cost for me so that I can understand what the money is being used for?

While I disagree with the approach the author of the page is taking, I completely agree that their financial statements are as clear as mud. If this was a company I was thinking of investing in, I would give it a really wide berth based on the terrible financial reporting. As a non-profit operating on public donations they should be doing a much better job.
This seems completely random. EMR isn't an open-source project, it's a proprietary offering.

When I had shutdown my startup, I had to remove the resources from AWS which produced ~$1000/mo. I removed those and followed the same practices as the parent did along with regular Any.do alerts to ensure I didn't miss anything. In subsequent months I found that, there was something or the other which came up in charges, like a CloudWatch Alarm, Log somewhere. It took a while to remove all of them to bring a zero bill.

I'm not complaining that it's something nefarious on AWS part, I'm saying it's designed in a way such that someone using various services of it can easily loose track of billing.

Yes, I could have closed the account altogether; but I didn't want to. Now I wonder, if AWS starts charging for the billing alerts itself whether I would catch it before I actually receive a billing alert for the billing alerts.

Plumbum: Shell Combinators in Python
My Anker PowerPort Atom PD 4 arrived today. It doesn't have a UL logo, but it does have CE and TUV ones. Are those equally rigorous? There are some other logos I don't recognize; picture:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSYZMSLBHZqC8XaS6

I'm on the fence about keeping this thing. Besides the safety question, it's a little disappointing that charging a USB-C phone will drop a USB-C laptop's power straight from 100W to 50W. That's quite a step; I wish it could do something like 85W + 15W. When you use all four ports, the laptop only gets 38W, even if the others actually take almost no power. I think their claimed "intelligent power allocation" is overselling it a bit.

Looks like one of the reviews on Anker's product page (titled "Versatile, depending on what you plug in") says exactly what combinations are possible:

How to fight lies, tricks, and chaos online
I recently moved and tried selling stuff on craigslist. The amount of spam and shady emails I got was overwhelming. They never figured out how to control that.
EDF (French power company) enjoyed a monopoly lasting 50 years, massive research paid for by the military sector, no real accounting of the public funds they spent (at the very least 228 10e9 euros), the waste problem is not solved, real decommission (nearly all yet-to-be started) costs are unknown and will probably be vastly superior to the budget, the grand total cost must take into account any boo-boo made by a wandering waste during some 10000's years... and for all this they have to concede 1/4 of their current production at cost price. Granted, this is not a total waste because they did and do provide gridpower (given that its price is average in Europe, absolutely not a bargain). In any case this is a superb gift, many industrialists would kill for such a deal. EDF complains w/o any shame!

On a more fundamental viewpoint I think that subsidies are always at best inadequate, especially because they establish such vicious circle (subsidizing leads to a problem apparently solved by... subsidizing).

This 121B€ budget will be invested ('till 2046) to dynamise applied renewable energy. It has to offer some benefit to anyone investing and therefore accepting the risk inherent to any new and quickly developing tool, it is about long-term effects. You quote a blog, which is an immediate interpretation, not the intent and even less the (future) result.

Yes, Germany chose to kick out the bad nuke habit as fast as possible, maybe indeed too quickly for the short-term sake. On the other hand France tried to act slowly... and now its renewables program, not very ambitious, already is wayyyyyy behind previsions.

Yes, establishing new production sites implies new connections, and therefore investments. Connecting a new nuke powerplant also costs. Yes, connecting renewables globally cost more given that nukes needs less sites (intensity). However renewables don't blow up, don't produce hot waste, are easy to decommission, create jobs, create know-how and product which are more and more marketable (much more than nuke plants!)... Total lifecycle cost+risk is key.

France is indeed right now more efficient than Germany when it comes to decarbonizing gridpower production. However this is a snapshot, while the whole subject is a process. There is no finish line, and if in a pair of decades may Germany lead on all accounts, free of nukes and continuing to be a leader in a growing renewables market. Then we will once more conclude that they adopted an industrial approach much more adequate than ours, as in many other sectors.
I thought 5e went open license again?
Oh wow, this is awesome! Also looks like there is an active proposal for decentralizing wikipedia[1]. But IPFS seems to more or less offer a decent solution.

> middle of the road rust belt city you can get a huge variety of beers now. There are entire breweries dedicated to sours alone!

Heck, I live in a small rust belt town of 2,000 people and we even have a brewery dedicated to sours alone. Travel 20 minutes up the road to the next town over, with a population of not even 1,000 people, and you'll come across a major – as in their production capacity is pushing the limits of what can be reasonably considered craft – craft brewery. Although not necessarily always available, they have 35 beers in their catalog. I'm not sure any of them resemble the west coast-style IPA we're talking about. If you include hazy, milkshake, etc. takes on IPAs then 9 of the 35 are considered IPAs. Still not a lot of emphasis on IPAs in general.

As an aside, this "rural" craft beer industry is rather interesting. The primary business model seems to be set up production where operations is cheap and then ship the product into the city. That sour brewery is basically a tech company, selling the vast majority of their beer online. Although that major craft brewery I spoke of does put a lot of effort into beer tourism, attracting people to their facilities, as well.

Fair, and I should have added a rider that "if you're actively incapable of dealing with such things, then that's not dislike, that's a phobia."

Please don't feel obliged to answer this, but - is it only biological-looking pictures that trigger this? Or do you get it from clearly non-biological things (eg. security mesh, ventilation grills, cheesegraters) as well?
Yes - that’s our thinking too. Compilers finding your typos for variable names seems helpful for user productivity.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would the number of pages and hosting costs be linearly correlated? I can't think of any other scenario besides Wikipedia where this would be expected to be true.
