I never noticed this, but after thinking about it for a few minutes it seems that in standard usage there is a difference between attributive adjectives and predicative adjectives.

As an attributive adjective, "foot" is indeed correct, e.g. "a 130 foot yacht."

As a predicative adjective, "feet" is correct, e.g. "the yacht was 130 feet long."

Occasionally, in certain regional variations, you may hear "foot" used in the second case: "the yacht was 130 foot long."

It's just visual bookmarking, with the addition of your bookmarks being categorised how you like and publicly visible.

You sign up for pinterest. You create a couple of different boards. You install the pinterest extension.

Now when you browse the internet and you see an image you like you clicky the browser button (from the extension) and select what board of yours you want it to go to.

Or you can visit Pinterest and search for a thing, and browse the results, and then save some of those things to your boards.

Other people searching Google or Pinterest for a thing may be shown a link to your Pinterest board, and that link will include a link to your profile and your boards.

I agree the UI sucks, but all UI sucks. Pinterest's sucky UI isn't particularly worse than all the others.
A large part of life is just luck. Think of all the chance events that had a big impact on your life. For me for example, almost all my success hinges on me randomly seeing a certain poster in a hallway in 2008.

Total annihilation took a completely different approach of having factories instead of races. I only know TA-like games through Zero-K, but factories introduce a lot of diversity and perhaps less imbalance risks because players always have the option to go for a mirror match-up (i.e. choosing what is considered the best factory for the map being played).

Some game designers claim that Blizzard's uses races to keep players interested by creating imbalances. The idea being that you keep players interested by making slight changes all the time to respond to alleged imbalances from the players.
As another European: proportional voting has nothing to do with it. Its more about ideologized voters who care more about ideology than merit when voting.
There is an open source reimplementation of the settlers II engine, called RttR and it works flawlessly (better than the original for me).

Really? We did almost all our Christmas shopping on Amazon and had no complaints. Other businesses delivered late.

Last night I ordered soft drinks from Amazon Fresh and they were delivered in less than 12 hours.

I do agree with sloaken. Read the 1- and 2-star reviews, and make sure the 5-star reviews aren't talking about a different product.
No, economic systems are a superset of systems with coercion, and also include systems without coercion. So when I said "simply" an economic system, I meant lacking in coercion. Your example includes both. Also it's silly to call it trade.

Were you making an analogy for the economics of socialized medicine with the forcing of labor?
Playing with it now, one annoyance is that it operates on names, not ids. E.g., if you have a

You can't set statusbox as the hx-target and expect it to work.
Had to look this up. Looks like it's from Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies"?
Disappointed to see no mention of Zero-K. https://zero-k.info/

It's an open source RTS game with really nice UI controls (line move, group move, circle guard) and good unit AI reducing micro burden. Makes it quite hard to go back to more primitive RTS controls in other games.

It would also score very highly on all of those metrics and has a big teams scene.
> that Chrome container will share the same 500 MB base image layer with the Gimp container, or whatever

Only if they’ve all chosen the same base image.

And if application developers could all agree on a fixed base image with fixed versions of dependencies, that’d be a Linux distro and we wouldn’t need docker to begin with :)

Whilst I enjoyed that episode, it was fictional. Did Picard really need to be stabbed in the heart, just to learn his lesson? (And, his 'unremarkable career' seemed to be a bigger criticism of Starfleet/the Federation than we normally see - what's wrong with an ordinary life?)

I would be happy to remove the trauma that I experienced in my past. I'd take the risk of being a different person - with different good qualities.
But back wheels only rotate as a result of moving against the ground. Grip on the back tires seems most important for balanced braking.

I am likely missing on some obvious basic physics here, but I wonder how does better grip in the back on a FWD car help reduce oversteer. Any pointers?

For me there is legal uncertainty if my work contract (with the applicable laws) actually allow me to contribute. I do not want to ask my boss for permission nor do I want to pay a lawyer. What would really help is an overview with if the general legaslative framework of a country with the common work contracts (for software devs) permit open source contributions. Well maybe my proble is unique, but maybe more ppl would just test the waters if it were clear.
I always like to do new and different things. It is the main reason I migrated several times and changed job many times. Currently I am doing my own startup. Sometimes I wonder what life would be if I live a simple boring life? Will I be more successful? or end up like Captain Picard in his alternate universe?
Electric Vehicles or Electric Boats?
Because the kind of American that understands that not everyone knows how big a foot is already puts the actual length in brackets so the people that cause problems wouldn't use it even if it was a feature.

Also, if it worked like <date> you'd have to put the value in a standardised unit (eg SI units) which would also annoy the Americans and they'd refuse to do it.
That's true. If you don't have a solid monetization plan things become harder very quickly.
WireGuard on Ubuntu 20.04
npm scripts having same-as-you access to your computer in a linux-like environment is very different than JS running inside the browser sandbox though. By default its scoped to the origin its running on and with some additional header/html tags, can be further limited to just running your specific code and no get/post to other origins, and more.

So while running 3rd party code without inspecting it closely is always risky, its a lot more risky to run via node than via the browser js engine.

After it decays, it's no longer plutonium; instead it's uranium-234. Uranium's heavy-metal toxicity is quite well-established, and uranium-234 is more radioactive than the natural isotopic mix, but at the low-single-digit-kilogram scale involved in the SNAP-27 RTG it's not a major concern.

As a rule of thumb if you don't produce units it isn't in the strategy genre. Total War is a turn based strategy with real time tactical battles. Online play is mostly the tactical battles so is a real time tactics game.

The reason you separate it there is that in a strategy game you should be able to win the war while losing every battle. You can't do that unless you can produce units, meaning if you plan well you can outproduce your enemy and win even though he kills more of your stuff every time you fight.
The issue isn’t willingness it’s a concern about power output. But, sure if you scale the wind turbine large enough and had some form of energy storage that should be possible even if it’s not actually viable.

Considering this looks like the most promising vaccine candidate for large-scale global rollout and has by far the most orders, I'm sure they are still happy they are working with the world-class Oxford vaccine team.
The obstacles to indie RTS games aren't art style/production related. If anything, the top-down or isometric-ish view makes that part relatively straightforward.

The requirement for online multiplayer (while dealing with hundreds of units) is the bigger obstacle. Especially if they're working with Unity. Pathfinding (in a way that lets large swarms of units move smoothly through narrow choke points) is a non-trivial problem, too.

Then there's the design problems. How to get away from standard build orders, and how to make a game that's more accessible than Starcraft but still allows high-level competitive play.
I live on a partly forested hill that towers about 250 ft over the river valley where the railway is. When I go to the railway station and wait for a train, the hill is really dominant on the near horizon.

And whenever I realize that the full Starship + SuperHeavy stack is going to be much taller than that hill, I am just speechless. That is one big freaking rocket, one big trampoline for mankind, so to say.
The national Republican party has money which they can dynamically allocate to different states. If they want to pitch exciting offers to California, such as solutions for transportation or healthcare, then so be it.

Kevin McCarthy is the house minority leader for the GOP and he's using his airtime by talking about how the presidential election is a fraud. That's a taste of the calibre of counter-narrative the GOP chooses to air.

I would argue there's more healthy idea generation within party than between party.
The tyranny of the rocket equation, combined with Earth's deep gravity well, and the higher efficiency of rocket engines in vacuum makes it seem much worse than it is.

E.g. for a lunar mission: it takes 9.4 km/s Δv to get to low Earth orbit (LEO), but only 5.5 km/s Δv to get from there to the Moon [1]. Raptor (the engine used on Starship) has an exhaust velocity of 3.2 km/s on Earth, and 3.7 km/s in vacuum [2]. Plugging those numbers in the rocket equation, to get to LEO you need about 19x your payload mass in fuel. However, to get from LEO to the moon surface, you only need 4x your payload mass in fuel. So while a tanker can indeed only bring a small fraction of its launch mass as fuel to orbit, once you're in orbit you don't need that much fuel to get to the moon.

In reality the numbers to get to LEO are lower because of staging and the vacuum engines on Starship which can be used in the upper atmosphere, and you also need fuel to get back from the moon, but it probably won't add up to a full Starship.

As a player who managed to get to masters on SC2:WoL I have two simple suggestions for you.

1. Look into what build orders you should use for different strategies.

2. Watch the replays of your games afterwards.

You d be surprised how much that helps.
When the first PC with Basic launched in the 80s many people wanted to develop for it.

When the iPhone Appstore launched, many people started to build apps in the ecosystem.

While it might be it bit too early to compare RL to those advances in technology. I personally feel there is huge potential. I might be wrong though. And I am fine with that.

You use the sort key as the page selector. So if it's cities sorted by name, the query is "give me the first 20 cities with names after 'Constantinople'". If Constantinople gets the works, it doesn't matter, because there are still 20 cities whose names come after that lexicographically.

X1 Search is the single Windows program I wish so badly was available on the Mac. So much that I switched from Mac back to Windows twice in the past because the functionality was so important.

I search for a word or phrase through 1000s of documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and email archive files going back two decades. On my desktop or in a cloud service. X1 displays matches in real time, fast-as-you-type, with all the results easy to grok in one glance in list form, sorted by any field. And on the same screen, X1 renders a preview of the file/email as I click through the list. No need to open the file/email: I can read the whole document right there on the search screen. I can also copy & paste from that document. And all search terms are highlighted.

SN8 was more like 99% successful. it only failed because the fuel mix became a bit too engine-rich. SN9 supposedly has a fix for that.

the biggest risk was the reverse belly flop and that went flawless to everyone's surprise. to quote musk, the crater is in the right place, and it didn't even properly explode anyway - the nose cone was more or less intact :) if the fuel pressure issue really is fixed and SN9 lands on the pad, it'll be a mark of a new age of space industry - and not that long after the previous one set by the same company! the most recent NRO mission flew on a booster used four times previously; fifteen years ago you'd be laughed out of the room for just suggesting the possibility of launching a national security payload on a used rocket.
There would be, but it can be minimized. It would take a major mistake (or intentional action) to fail an orbital capture maneuver in such a way the asteroid would hit Earth instead. Most possible failures would just leave it hurtling through space, or orbiting the Earth in a suboptimal way. A correctly executed capture does not, at any point, pass through the state in which asteroid's trajectory would make it hit the planet - so one of the best mitigations would be designing the mission in such a way that engines fail safe, and any kind of deviation from mission parameters leads to engine shutdown.

Of course, the very capability of altering trajectory of asteroids creates risks of its own, similar to the capability of splitting atom.

Our group played tonight for the first time too!

Not sure what you mean by cycled through your deck multiple times, but if you meant all in 1 turn, then you definitely didn't play correctly.

Any action cards that are played are put in the play area, and aren't moved into the discard pile until the Cleanup phase. Also, the Buy phase only starts after the Action phase has ended. ABC (Action, Buy, Cleanup).

Once you've drawn your entire deck and need to draw more, then the discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck. Once that's drawn too you'll be left with an empty deck, no discard pile, and the rest of the cards left in either your hand or playing area.
It's definitely not new, but worth repeating.

But yes, I'm surprised it would show up on hackerNEWS.
There are lots of boards where a 5/2 split is a tremendous advantage. Chapel already contributes to that, as the article mentioned, because the player who got 4/3 really got 4/2. You get Chapel and a good 5 drop and your opponent with 4/2 can just go ahead and concede on turn one.

But making it 5 takes it out of the opening hand most of the time. That’s why most of the best cards are 5.

I’m not 100% sure it shouldn’t be 3 or 4 but it definitely shouldn’t be 2. And I’m fairly sure that if it trashed 3 cards instead of 4 it would still be extremely playable (given how many times good players take worse trashing than that in the first round) and that the play testers back then just didn’t know the game well enough yet to understand.
That's a beautiful rendering of the anxiety of choice and FOMO.

This is a very exciting new vaccine. And that's exactly why we shouldn't skip the usual extended 5-year, 10-year studies before giving it to a billion people.

There are potential long-term side-effects for this vaccine that we couldn't possibly know about yet (will it affect the fertility of your future children, for instance? Will it affect your cognitive function within a year? Ten years? Nobody knows). And what exactly is causing the Bell's Palsy, and how is that cause going to interact with people's predispositions to develop other neurological conditions as they get older? We also don't yet know about the costs and benefits beyond a very short timeline relative to not having it; is the immunity conferred amongst the population more or less effective than that which people are developing naturally as they come into contact with strains of the virus that are more infectious and less lethal? For that matter, how does does immunity for this virus even work, antibodies or T-cells? If we're in a position where we understand this virus enough to be rolling out mass vaccination in a responsible way, why are we relying on flawed PCR testing (especially in terms of the elevated numbers of cycles) to track cases and justify the rushed deployment of vaccines, especially in the case of this highly experimental (albeit exciting) one? These are all questions that I would expect the regulatory authorities to have answered definitively and to be broadcasting widely before any widespread program of vaccination. Especially seeing as the manufacturers have been released from liability from the vaccines' effects.
Any chance to include what RTS stands for? I opened the article, reading the heading and the first two sentences, encountering RTS 3x but still not having a hint of context, I closed the page.
> A rational person

In what setting have you _ever_ encountered a rational person?

I've met people who were capable of calmly evaluating a situation rationally -- sometimes even under a decent amount of pressure. But in my undergrad at MIT or in my career as a software engineer, I have never met a rational person.
> With "make install", I usually just pass a "--prefix=/usr/local/stow/" flag and let GNU stow take care of actual install and uninstall

I used to do something like that 10 years ago. From what I remember, GNU stow was not really able to do that properly though, because of the way it handles nested un-existing directories. I. E. It will symlinks a whole directory if it does not previously exist, which will make later deployments of new symlinks inside impossible. Also it did not handle absolute symlinks.

For these reasons, I used "xstow".

Edit: just had a look at the latest version of GNU stow, looks like they corrected the folding issue, that's great!
How do you mean that it changes the proposition?
>> Simply put, most RTS games are exhausting. As someone who has achieved a relatively high level of play in numerous popular RTS games, my best coaching advice for the vast majority of players would be to play more and to play faster. In most instances being able to micro, macro, and multi task is the biggest obstacle keeping players from pushing their play to the next level. Many times, I hear players getting frustrated as they ultimately know what and how to execute, but their fingers cannot keep up. Often a player with higher APM will trump an opponent who might otherwise make better decisions and have a better grasp on the game. There are always exceptions, but most players would agree that a 300 APM player will beat a 100 APM player almost every time.

I used to love RTS games (until I discovered Total War) and I have to say I'm a bit taken aback by this assumption that playing an RTS game must necessarily mean that the player is chasing some ultra-high performance standard, quantifiable in APM. I get that the author is a competitive player, but the vast majority of players are casual players who don't thnk of games as a career. If the reason no new RTS games are being made is that they are not very good for e-sports, then that's just sad. I would really have thought that making a good game that is pleasant to play, would do the trick. Maybe it's the ultra-competitive edge that's actually driving players away and keeping the incentives to make more such games low? If game procuders are thinking of how to make the next big e-sports RTS hit, instead of a game that many people will want to play, then yes, I can see how they are finding design constraints hard to satisfy.
