Plenty of freedom, it's just that Spring is a good framework and has been since it came out.

Xcom 2 is a disaster due to the arbitrary time (or turn, for the nitpickers) limits in all missions.

If you don't rush via the shortest path or if you do the unthinkable and explore the map a bit you'll run out of time and die.

And if you install a mod that removes the turn limits it becomes way too easy because it's balanced for rushing blindly ahead and it's like taking candy from a baby if you have time to scout and position yourself.

Chimera squad... what's chimera squad? Didn't look at anything after xcom 2.

To continue whining, the current Firaxis ruined Civilization as well. They tried to 'improve' religion and ended up adding another tactical layer. You're fighting the military war and the religious war. But with the military war you can make peace now and then, or simply not attack. The religious war never ends. Which means that every single turn you have to take care of umpteenth religious units making the game full of pointless busywork.
Tim Harford is a defender of statistics and in the wake of releasing his new book he has been on a publicity tour of all your favourite maths channels on Youtube.

As a hobbyist, once I have a pattern, cutting out the fabric is by far the most tedious aspect of making a garment. It's just lots of precise handwork. Typically, when I'm making something, it's ~80% cutting, 20% sewing.

By removing that cutting, I'd cut 3h of work down to ~40 minutes.
> Cryptocurrency is the digitally woke techbro’s ponzi scheme

The fiat monetary system is a ponzi scheme. Watch "Hidden Secrets of Money": https://youtu.be/iFDe5kUUyT0?t=62

I also recommend doing your own research after this. The evidence is clear and overwhelming.

Cryptocurrency is merely a response to this scam and its continued success helped to further prove that the financial system is a scam.

Even if you assumed that cryptocurrency is a scam, what kind of financial system enables a scam to thrive for 10+ years?
In such a system, how can you tell the scams apart from the non-scams?

Clearly the so-called 'free markets' are not capable of distinguishing the two.

What's to say that most big tech corporations aren't scams?
They get a lot of 'free money' from the government through massive contracts to build projects which only add more bureaucracy.

Java people always tout their advanced IDEs as a major benefit of working in Java. But the thing is that Java is a language that is unusable without a strong IDE and that is not an advantage.
It's without question aimed at and useful primarily for a young demographic with an extremely short attention span. It's also really hard to create long-form quality content, the short clips remove that pressure, which is exactly what short tweets accomplish (the typical TikTok user is creating absolutely nothing original, they're all directly copying eachother; you have a tiny number of originators, and then everyone else is a clone (a mimic), which is humanity in a nutshell). It's mostly about status battling, young people fighting for some attention, trying to put a stake in the ground to claim status among peers to position themselves. It's why so many of the most popular users live in nice locations, in mansions or otherwise huge very nice homes, they're envied, they're pitching/riding status to a million followers. The sex selling, faux-dance cloning and ass shaking (WAP WAP WAP) that the majority of of the non-celebrity popular users use it for, tells you everything you need to know. It's the same thing that made Snapchat popular, sex always sells. TikTok of course derived from Musical.ly and was popularized first in the US among teenagers. The content that fills up the platform is still similar to what originally made Musical.ly popular.

TikTok is the Kardashian effect brought down to the masses of people, to roll around in. Mimic in just the right way and you too can be Kim for 15 minutes (if your house is big enough and or you're attractive enough, as you have to be able to sell it). TikTok's most popular non-celebrities are pitching exactly the same thing that made the Kardashians so popular, in the exact same way. It's a cultural wasteland, celebrated.

What the hell is anybody going to say in 10-15 seconds that is going to be valuable outside of a quick clip of music and some status pitching (show a big house, shake your ass, take off your shirt, dive into a pool, show seven seconds of a party)? Absolutely nothing. It's the same thing Instagram is mostly used for: status positioning, signaling. There is a reason why the evidence overwhelmingly points to all of this as being unhealthy - it's all built around intentionally amplifying an addictive, desperate aspect of human nature that is a big negative at its extremes (status seeking, narcissism, bullying, social competition, selling sex, all in a swirl together and pumped up).
A federated state and a province are interchangeable terms. They have more specific names in some places, e.g. oblasts, emirates, etc. In much of the world the term state is usually used to refer to sovereign states unless directly talking about the US.

OK, but only partially. The invention of IP protocol and HTML happened as byproducts of government-funded projects (they were certainly never invented to be what they are). Since then all the impact (and further development) has happened because of things deliberately developed by industry.
NPM Audit: How to Enforce Your Code Security
It's more like yjftsjthsd-h said in their comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24548071): They suddenly make me work for it.

Sure, this might be the worth of the features, but then I might get frustrated: "I want features X and Z, but they are only in the most expensive tier. In the cheaper one I can get just X, or X and Y. So now I have to pay for X, Y, Z although I only need X and Z."

Another example: johnreed fitness gym offers three tiers. They are basically the same, but give you more flexibility in where you train. If you are a member for one year, you move up one tier for the same price. It's not clear whether or not my contract would get cheaper if I start at the highest and after a year move to the price of one lower.

So basically they made me work and think a lot just about pricing for some service I actually want because I don't want to think about it. Which made me choose another gym altogether.
Rockstar makes multiplayer titles, but doesn't have an engine that's capable of dealing with that (leading to an absurd number of bugs and performance problems), and they have no security at all, so their games are only playable on not-yet-cracked consoles. Rockstar even went so far as to include a "finger of god" feature in GTA, which allowed their admins to kick players from and mess with the single player mode, except Rockstar has no security, so mod menu developers figured out how anyone with a menu could use those features to mess with literally anyone's single player. They eventually removed that feature, which as I recall is one of maybe two or three times they fixed a security problem. Previously mod menu users could reset character stats and outright ban other players. It's incredibly broken, even though financially successful, based on ethically questionable marketing of ingame purchases to minors. RDR2 may be beautiful, but performance is bad. RDO runs on the exact same system as GTA, so zero security and unplayable on PC.
My advice would be to stay away from "modern ways" relying on cloud services that depend on an external vendor. You'd be paying a premium to essentially put an expiration date on networking equipment that would otherwise last almost forever.

On a home network there is little to no need for any of these cloud management features as the configuration tends to be static and the router is "set and forget".

I suggest a router supported by OpenWRT; this one looks good but a bit expensive: https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/, otherwise you can try your luck with consumer-grade routers that support it (TP-Link?) but performance might not be ideal. Alternatively, I can also recommend the Mikrotik RB3011 as I've had good success with it.

For the wireless side of things, having multiple access points is the key. Since they're on your internal network and behind your firewall, security update availability is less of an issue. Again, either enterprise-grade Wi-Fi systems or OpenWRT-supported access points.

I don't agree with the premise. The way to fight criminal banking activity is to write clear, straightforward, and consistently enforced laws. No system of incentives is going to meaningfully reduce financial crime in a world where grey areas are gigantic and almost all cases end with a settlement.
I actually went down the laser route but I'm mostly interested in synthetic fabrics. To address the TFA's concerns:

- You don't need a whole lot of power for the kinds of synthetic fabrics you'd want to wear. I use a 20W laser from AliExpress that outputs ~7.5W of actual energy.

- Safety is definitely a big concern. The biggest problem is that a lot of synthetic fabrics produce lethally toxic gases when cut with a laser. However if you build an enclosure, you can filter the exhaust to ensure that it's safe.

- Don't know why liability is a problem, not American.

- It won't scorch most synthetic fabrics, it will melt them. However this is often a good thing, as it seals the edges so that they won't fray.

They also have a huge advantage: they're cheap and easy. My 1000x1000mm laser cutter cost me ~$120 from AliExpress. Just had to screw it together and it worked out of the box.

At the very least, you can use it to cut out paper patterns for you or put cut marks onto the fabric.

Pretty sure that approach wasn't consciously designed into the game, but it worked out because the inner logic was sufficiently complete (even if perhaps not actually sound, he ended up doing some pretty radical strategical hacks)

I am from a southern district of Tamil Nadu.

Here, we follow a different method to cut the coconuts. The harvesters do not climb the tree. Instead, they tie together bamboo poles to form one long pole and tie a sickle to one end. The harvester then cuts the coconut bunch from the ground.

It is much more efficient and faster than climbing the trees. When I was young, I was fascinated by their craft. They are so good, that they could determine how ripen the coconuts were just by looking from the ground. Some times from very tall trees that are over 100 feet tall. And to balance a pole that large..

I moved my photos to Synology 5 years ago and have never looked back. I did some very thorough research into a number of options including iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. and they all had some really odd behavior which kept me from using them (i.e. getting select photos into iCloud Photos was impossible - it was every photo taken or nothing ... and don't get me started on iCloud Drive's incompatibility with iCloud Photos).

Right now I'm using DS File from Synology to transfer photos to my NAS and from there there's a script [1] that organizes it into a destination folder which is then synced to Dropbox and Google Photos simultaneously. So I get to use Google Photos as my primary photo viewer but it's just essentially a cached copy of my library (which I could trash and restore at any point).

I have a series of blog posts [2] about my setup.

This sounds logical, but whenever I switch Wi-Fi off, the tracking switches off too (no new "significant locations" added anymore). In addition, the list of locations contains addresses, not GPS coordinates, so the connection to a server is definitely necessary even if this is GPS. My point is that the data is transferred to the Apple servers.
> One way to approach this, is to actually enjoy this complexity because there is real theoretical computer science behind it. It's not complexity for its own sake.

Some people enjoy complex languages and some don't, and while the complexity in Rust does serve a purpose -- supporting the borrowing system and a design philosophy that is similar to C++'s -- there is "real theoretical computer science" behind any language design. The theory doesn't tell us which approach is good and which is bad, just what properties a language has. Some designs, usually on the more complex end, lead to many properties that are of interest to people who study those properties, and so there is some correlation between people interested in studying formal systems and people who prefer complex languages.

> so if people are turning to VSCode for developing it may imply that developers don’t know what a fully-featured IDE can give them.

I think the author doesn't know what VSCode can deliver.

> In the web space it is understandable to use an editor as web developers are typically working with dynamic languages

So? Most popular dynamic languages have optional static typecheckers, and the VSCode ecosystem has extensions that leverage these to provide many features common in IDEs for statically typed languages. Of course, the VSCode ecosystem also does this for already-statically typed languages.

> But in Java, especially professional Java, you really get a lot out of a good tool that has integration with the application server and you can really use the analysis and refactoring and everything.

“Analysis and refactoring and everything” isn't something VSCode overlooked developers interest in, and application server integrations are also part of the VSCode ecosystem.

Right now I would say that all of those points are true but also misleading.

The first unit of PV that you build in an all-coal economy will necessarily be a very CO2-intensive manufacturing process; a unit of PV made in a PV-only (electric mining equipment also) economy will have none.

The power output of that first particular unit can supply enough energy over its lifetime to build between 10 and 60 more of the same unit depending on which estimates I use for lifetime and energy cost per unit.

China is heavily dominated by coal, I think just under 2% PV by actual generation? So yes, very dirty. But their growth over the last decade was about x670, more than enough to turn the dirty production green in the next decade. (Far too much even for that, which is why I think their rates of increase have gone down in the last few years).

I don't even know what PartialOrd and PartialEq even are, mathematically speaking...

The docs about these feel written by someone who knew that "some API like this" would be a good idea, but that somehow never managed to flesh out what these traits should semantically imply.

Which is kind of dumb, given that there was _excellent_ prior art about this when Rust was created (Elements of Programming, From mathematics to generic programming, the C++ standard library and the dozen papers about operator<=>, ...).

And that's one of the things I dislike more about rust. The way to overload operators, like +, or <, uses trait names, like Add or PartialOrd, which suggest that these operators have certain semantics (particularly when using Add in where clauses), but in practice they lack any semantic meaning and are just syntactic things.

Which is why, e.g., the standard library implements "Add" for strings. That doesn't mean that it implements "Addition" for strings, but rather that it overloads the Plus operator. And in the String case it does so to implement "Concatenation".

Which is IMO super dumb, because they could have just fixed this by naming the `Add` trait `Plus` instead, which is what languages that do the same thing, like C++, already do (`std::plus`, `operator+`, ....).

You could argue that using `+` to implement concatenation is "bad", but it is way less worse than using "Addition" to implement concatenation, which is what Rust ends up requiring everybody to do because that's just how you overload the `+` operation.

For me, some words and phrases sound better in one language than the other. So in my internal monologue, I often flip back and forth between Polish and English, sometimes multiple times in a single sentence. It feels like "the path of least resistance".

I also do that sometimes when talking, when I know the other person is proficient in English. Not everyone appreciates this, but some of the best conversations in my life were with a particular person who was like me in this regard; we'd just stream our thoughts to each other in this weird mix of Polish and English, that was hard to follow for anyone else.
