Played through it once and was confused by why a bomb exploded. Can somebody help me interpret? I'm especially having trouble figuring out what the dashes are in this end-of-game explainer text. Take the space diagonally top-right from the one flagged bomb (the asterix). This had a visible "1" on the board, but is marked as a dash here.

Yea, no. Blockchains are still a technology in their infancy but the need for them is clear. Rampant money printing is eroding the value of money - we cannot trust Central Banks to preserve what little wealth we may have.

And then we look at negative interest rates appearing, commercial banks beginning to show signs of stress like they did in 2007/08 and its clear we really can't trust them either. If you think you can, then ask the people of Lebanon what happened when they tried to withdraw their cash. Or Venezuelans. Or the Greeks a few years ago!

No view on Bitcoin or any particular coin actually, but long term I am a firm believer that Blockchain today is like the Internet in the 80s - it aint perfect, but it aint going away either.
I actually re-read the comment to see if he said 3BR. Was disappointed to find that it was 3k for 1BR, absolutely not imaginable in my salary.
But what if your business is ransomware or selling narcotics, and it's hard to find a trusted intermediary?
Those intermediaries can be moderately to very expensive. Look at how much value credit-card interchange skims.

Blockchains offer a technological solution to a social problem- and threaten many "trusted brokers" with replacement with near-zero marginal cost software.

Knative + buildpacks is one. CloudFoundry is open source too (although CF now runs on Kubernetes I think)
According to a CNN article I read, many of these machines have already been sitting inactive for some time. I dunno how mail facilities are set up, bit perhaps there's a better use of space. I also don't think the removal is irreversible. For the most parts the removals can be reversed by putting them back (although a few of the inactive machines have already been stripped for spare parts)

In the long run, it's inefficient to keep paying for a car you're not using. You'd save money by canceling the car insurance and not renewing the registration. If your family has more cars than people, it may be the fiscally smartest option to sell your spare car, especially if your kids are off at college and car usage has been trending downwards for years.
The fact that a single Bitcoin transaction requires 561kWh of power (enough to power an average US household for 19 days) -- and produces 94g of e-waste -- means that classical intermediaries are a lot less expensive in the majority of cases. [1]

Using the world average of $0.14/kWh means that a Bitcoin payment costs (or rather extracts in welfare) $79. This fee is socialized across all users in the form of block rewards, and as they diminish, end-users will have to bear the whole cost or the hash rate will drop off precipitously eliminating the security guarantees. This is on top of the $3.392 fee for processing the transaction on-chain.

At a break-even of $82.39 per BTC payment, a credit card transaction would have to be at least $27,500 in Europe (based on their 0.3% interchange cap) and $4,551 in the US (based on the average interchange rate of 1.81%). ACH payments cost banks $0.11 US.

Trusted brokers aren't going anywhere, and IMO, there's no such thing as a technological solution to a social problem.

Only in the short to medium term... the characteristics which make SF an attractive place to live (just like NYC) are resilient and sticky.

If you consider a post-covid world 5 years from now, do you think that SF with it's museums, bars, restaurants, and proximity to nature will be an unattractive place to live?

Do you think that remote-first/remote-only companies where the majority of employees are outside of the bay area will be as competitive with startups which follow a more traditional model in silicon valley?

Both are things I wouldn't bet on. This is a blip. It could be a major blip, but it's a blip nonetheless and those who are betting in the complete other direction are likely to get burned.
Kids eat your time and your brain. If you focus on that - on what you're losing - then kids will be very difficult. If you look instead at what you're getting - love, smiles, someone who looks up to you - then it can be great.

I am curious too. I wonder what are the limits of an extension.
I switched from phaser to pixi because I wanted more control over what I was doing. Animated sprites in phaser -- at least from what I could figure out -- have to have the exact same dimensions. Some of the sprites I was using were not that clean. This is one example of what I didn't like phaser, but it was pervasive. If phaser fit your particular game assets and use-cases, then it saved a ton of time. If it didn't fit perfectly, then it was a time suck going through forum posts, documentation, blogs, etc. trying to figure out what to do.

Pixi supplies the primitives and gets out of your way.

I believe he’s saying the opposite - that people like to think of blockchain as trust in technology, but in reality you are still trusting in people.

Any evaluation of the security of the system has to take the whole socio-technical system into account. Too many blockchain enthusiasts focus on the technology and ignore the rest.

This is a gross simplification but hopefully makes sense:

Grids using multiple generators use "frequency droop," deliberately governing the generators so that as power goes up, frequency goes down. This makes it easier to load-balance between generators connected in parallel.

If one generator were to be "overloaded," its frequency would go down, increasing power output from other generators.

When connecting a new machine, it's frequency is typically slightly higher than the grid; after it is connected it "assumes" some load and its frequency drops to match the grid's frequency.

i did not say poor quality food. i said very average food, overpresented artistically and overpriced. farm to table isn't good for meat -aged meat is better. aged about a month. sushi -yes. except very little sushi from what i saw in sf. a lot of weird rolls, which is not sushi to me. good sushi was in tokyo, where i have lived for several months.

fresh produce is shipped overnight anywhere nowadays. being near a farm no longer gets you fresher produce. and keep in mind, produce is grown in many, many places. heck, in chicago we got farmer's markets every few blocks.

miami is one little street that's walkable, and a run down city of trash. i never said it was better. la was the example i gave of a city that is not walkable, like sf is not walkable. so density is not sf's pro, which the comment i replied to claimed.

as far as discerning taste, i've lived in moscow, versailles, catalonia, and tokyo. i've had good food. sf wasn't it. it was regular food, presented in weird ways, just to be different. putting avocado on something or drinking sake cold doesn't make it good -it just makes it different.
You can check the properties of digital roots on wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_root#Properties

Example from ASVAB practice math test:

(x+4)(x+4) =

A. x^2+16x+8

B. x^2+16x+16

C. x^2+8x+16

D. x^2+8x+8

Since we don't have to solve for X in this problem, we can just assume x is 1, which would make the digital root of the problem expression 7. Assuming x = 1, the digital roots of A, B, C and D are 7, 6, 7 and 8 respectively. C is the answer because its last term is the square of 4.
Damn. That’s a lot of money.

If you are talking about the board of supervisors, I agree. They are to blame for many of the city’s problems, mostly because their most politically active constituents and donors are angry homeowners who block everything.

The current mayor London Breed has been doing good work, her handling of the covid-19 crisis in particular has been excellent. The problem is that most supervisors hate her and block her every step of the way.

Digi International embedded it into some of their XBee wireless radios (802.15.4-based and Cellular models) to allow customers to run an on-device application without compromising any certifications for the radio portion of the firmware. Easier than needing to design hardware with an additional host processor and work out the serial communications between that host and the radio module.

While MicroPython was designed to be "bare iron", it wasn't overly difficult to port it to run as a separate task inside the XBee firmware, and connect it up with internals for I/O and file system access. These are ARM Cortex products with firmware sizes in the area of 500KB to 700KB.
In an AC grid, increased or decreased load affects resistance which impacts the rate at which the mechanical source of power generation can rotate and therefore the frequency of the current:

I'd prefer to use a language that's more orthodox than Lua, e.g. one with class-based OOP and separate lists & maps, rather than tables-for-everything.

I'd also like a language that puts more emphasis on backwards-compatibility than Lua. Sure, everyone complains about the Python 2 => 3 transition, but there have been 3 new major versions of Lua since the release of Python 3.
OP said

> A cat that no longer goes outside and occupants that don’t interact with other cats basically means the cat is under total isolation.

Which is not entirely true. Even indoor cats can get worms, and periodic deworming is part of preventative care as vaccinations. The fact that deworming vs vaccinations interact with the cat’s immune system differently is an implementation detail that is inconsequential to this discussion.

In your spare time, would you rather do programming projects, or play a game?

If you'd rather do programming, then keep doing what you're doing.

If you'd rather play a game, then download it and see if you like it. If you like it, then play it. If you don't then continue your current habit or search for a different game.
There are many factors that affect the phase angle. Path length is one, so is the impedance of the lines (a line with double the X will get the same phase offset in half the length). Other equipment will have phase offsets such as transformers where the phase offset is a function of the winding configuration. There are event specialized transformers just for this purpose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_booster
Most cities are known for sprawl here. It’s not my fault.

Sure I could compare to Portland but it’s small and honestly not that different from SF in terms of the kind of farm to table food and wine that’s served

If you add load to a generator, it increases the amount of force needed to turn it. (There's a nice experiment with a hand crank generator that has a switched load - it's very noticeable, and logical - the electrical power you use needs to come from somewhere).

If the amount of force that's available doesn't increase, the generator slows down. The generators are synchronized to the grid. Of course, as the frequency drops, power plants regulate by applying more force to the generators (e.g. increasing the amount of gas or water fed to a turbine).
This is called vowel harmony and it's a fairly common linguistic feature:

as someone who's lived in SF for years this is all very true.

Food is expensive and a lot of it's designed to be instagrammed. There are definitely some great spots but not that many and really not that diverse (lacks middle eastern, greek, british, American bbq, spanish)

Nightlife is horrible, bars pretty much close at 1am, hardly any live music, gender imbalance, and not much density so it often just feels "dead" in a lot of places

the weather is ok. there's usually a few hours per day where it's pristine but quickly gets too cold/windy. And it's too uncomfortable to eat outside for dinner.

Public transit is unpleasant and slow, so most people who can afford it resort to 100% rideshare. And having your own car here is also a pretty bad experience (though some people would say this is a feature not a bug)

Petty crime is high. My friends regularly have to deal with car break-ins. (yes the same person would have multiple break ins in a single year, and no they don't keep anything in their car)

It's hard for me to speak to the culture, most of my network is in tech, and most people I know intend to leave at some point. Living in a city that people don't plan on living in for very long does not create a very good community or culture.

I live here because this is where my job is and where my friends are, but I want to leave pretty badly. I just don't really have anywhere else to go, if not my home country
That isn't what parent suggested. The quotation is a reason not to use it.
Independent schools got higher grades because of a quirk in the algorithm. If there weren't enough students taking a particular course at a particular centre for the rank/previous results method to be reasonably accurate, the algorithm defaulted to partially or wholly relying on predicted grades.

Independent schools generally have fewer students and a wider range of courses and predicted grades were inflated across the board, so they ended up with better grades than larger colleges and academies.

I'm not sure how you could have avoided this bias without creating a lot of really weird outcomes.
Thanks. It's definitely very good, and might work well for my projects. Natural flow is more important for me than timeline (although I can see that as quite important most types of videos), and I was already hoping to use SSML for the granular control.

I quite like the fact that the examples use curl, since that closely matches how I'd rather feed it. I'll have to see what its maximum input length is. Most of the texts I'm working with are about 66,000 characters and up at a time (and then more if I use SSML).

Unsurprising that Google would have voices of that calibre. I was surprised that Amazon's voices sound so poor. And they weren't the worst that I found on my ways. My Mac's built-in voices are better than those.
Or the blue light-removing features that are built into most modern OS - Windows 10 has it ('Night Light'), Android ('Night Mode') and IoS ('Night Shift') have it.

Inappropriate is a maddeningly vague descriptor. I’ve never felt like it’s accurate enough.

that's exactly the point: the vulnerable should get vaccinated because the flu can kill you anywhere, not specifically because you might get the flu at a game. that latter sort of reasoning is irrational because the added risk is inconsequential relative to the overall risk.

you shouldn't try to time the shot to right before going to games, because that's irrational. get it before the flu season, and then this tiny added risk matters even less.

> What I am seeing here is very clear also. The SIP order has removed many of the greatest parts of SF, the food, the bars, the culture, the density to be able to go anywhere and see your friends easily, and whats left are many of the problems that the city has, trash, homelessness, and exorbitant housing prices.

For an introvert who hates these sorts of things, and wants to own a house, I'm hoping companies stay this way and people become more open to remote work.

I feel no benifit from living in NYC or SF but I need to be close to these places for work. I hope that if things continue o can buy a house in and just work from home. Never needing to worry about commuting again.

> I'm 5'10" 170#. That's a BMI of 24.

I’m 5’11” and 176#... of lean body mass per the last time I was in a dunk tank pre-covid. I am a desk jockey, I haven’t lifted a weight in over two decades, although I do cardio and body-weight exercises (push ups, pull ups, burpees, etc.). Needless to say, I’m an outlier while not being a gym rat, body builder, or construction worker. I don’t think people like me are rare enough such that concerns over BMI on an individual basis can or should be hand waved off.

Every time I see a new doctor, they tell me I’m obese, I might be diabetic (my numbers are very normal), and how we might want to talk about that.

I show them my dunk tank numbers, my myfitnesspal records of my diet, and my blood work, and they always just say “carry on”. I share this story to show that even medical professionals rely on BMI to an irresponsible level sometimes.

I’m able to come prepared to the doctors because I understand the limits of BMI. I have several friends of similar build who have freaked out and sometimes made very stupid lifestyle changes (vastly undereating given their activity level) due to sloppy advice from doctors based on BMI.

I’ve seen this cut the other way, too, with folks who have perfect looking BMIs but low lean body mass and are very unhealthy.

I stand by my stance that BMI is good for measuring populations of people, but it’s a very crude tool on an individual basis. I hope my anecdote shows how this can happen even for a relatively normal person.
