> now there is just a full-stop end to your week.

Note that I don't think this stuff is casual friendly. As a casual, my problem with the way Blizzard does these systems is you want to do something every day/week/etc.

Quite frankly, it turns the game into a chore. It tells me that not only how much time I spend, but also when I spend that time significantly impacts my rate of advancement.

The HTML form <input> element has a lot of interactive controls already e.g. colour picker, a date control for entering dates, file picker, number entry with spinner controls and more:

The problem is that some HTML form controls cannot be styled with CSS to render consistently across browsers. So, many sites fall back on JavaScript to render the control. Here is an example from 2016 on styling HTML checkboxes and radio buttons to make them larger (which, as far I can tell, is still a problem): https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2016/11/30/weve-updated-the-...

Ironically, having been a huge WC3 fan; I felt like reforged was great. I bought it, loved it, and am still routinely playing it (in fact, I've picked it up as a semi-regular routine, whereas I'd kinda mostly stopped playing the original). I love the new graphics, the bugs were pretty minor and quickly fixed, and the stuff the community complained about was either irrelevant (complaining about the game being heavier when it runs really fast on my not-very-good gaming rig), or was not a regression against the prior version of the game (not delivering the promised cutscene overhauls didn't make the existing game worse). The community complaints about the mod license changes were like - yeah, I sympathize, but it's not relevant to my enjoyment of the game. I get that blizzard doesn't want to have its lunch stolen a second time by LoL/Dota, but it's not a change that had any negative impact on me as a player.

If I'm angry about anything with blizzard, it's that they've stiffed a bunch of these existing communities by not giving long-term support+content updates. Like, reforged had pretty much the same level of bugs or unfinished stuff practically every game has on release, but after a couple months of the devs fixing a bunch of these, blizzard's management got cold feet and laid the whole team off. We might have gotten the promised cutscene upgrades. But now - now we'll never get them.

SC2 has this wicked game mode, "co-op commanders", that supposedly is one of their most popular things (and directly sells DLC), and what do they do? They stop making more content for it - all they'd have to do is make more DLC, and it'd print money. I've been playing a bunch of it lately, and I'm just plain mad, knowing that what I'm playing is truly all I'll ever get.

I genuinely don't get Blizzard, these days. I could understand them diverting their investment towards a far more lucrative pot (much like how Valve has doubled down on their real moneymakers like Dota/CS:GO, at the expense of i.e. Portal), but ... what is Blizzard even investing in? I thought Overwatch and Hearthstone were the new hotness, but if even those are getting stiffed, and blizzard's making money hand-over-fist, then...

... ? Like, what's even left?
How do you know if what women find attractive is a result of societal pressure or freedom? Again, do you think women's extreme racial "preferences" in dating are a result of freedom because men of some races are far less attractive and the women are just serving "an evolutionary goal that the stronger gets to pass their genetic lineup"? How do you know society isn't also influencing many other characteristics?
Do you think the average 4'6 Cameroon Pygmy is just as attractive as the average US white guy, or are the Pygmy men just "biologically inferior"?
You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

90% of my friend group stopped playing Blizzard games when they started to censor speech (specifically speech encouraging freedoms).

As an individual cancel culture or voting with my wallet is my only path forward, but as a corporation (specifically in gaming) cancel culture is going to be a huge problem.

Its not clear to me what the right solution to this is going to be.
There has been research on this topic and it was estimated that 10% of CEO's has psychopathic traits. Plenty of resources online.

No. As a civil engineer that routinely works with and designs safety-critcal systems, and understands the concept of "public trust" and personal liability as Engineer of Record, whoever designed this is an absolute psychopath.

The real lesson is,and been for a while, if you do a start-up, do like Zuckerberg and The Google boys. If you want your company to stay your company, watch that vital stock and keep the majority votes.

Zuckerberg:

“So one of the things that I’ve been lucky about in building this company is ... I kind of have voting control of the company, and that’s something I focused on early on. And it was important because, without that, there were several points where I would’ve been fired. For sure, for sure,”

Does lazy loading at least carve out a placeholder spot for the image so that it doesn't throw off the layout? Because if not, please use something that does.

“Girl friends” isn’t the same as “girlfriend”, and your mother does not represent all mothers.

It seems aaomidi is recounting personal experience, and from my own experience, when a person earnestly uses “toxic” to describe how other participants behave it is often an apt description.

If you are human, you’re a person with emotions. When a person describes something you might enjoy as toxic, are you able to pause and notice what you’re feeling, and then choose whether or not to act?

I did this before responding to you, in an effort to help others that struggle with this, (I do, in some contexts). If a person still chooses to respond in a dismissive manner, or worse, then perhaps they enjoy being mean to others.

I had ADSL1 at 6m/768k fast mode roughly 8ms latency from 2004-201x; the latency was pretty much constant (it did get slightly better when I replaced my modem after the first one died, but the improvement was less than a ms, but measurable). ADSL1 didn't change much after release afaik, changes came through ADSL2 and VDSL and such. The scourge that is PPP over Ethernet did become more popular later in the life of DSL though.
if you want to see how it's done in modern plotters/CNC, Bart Dring's [Grbl_ESP32](https://github.com/bdring/Grbl_Esp32) is fairly easy to follow with good docs. I have one of Bart's plotters, as I don't have space or money for an Axidraw with all my other old plotters around the place.

For actual optimization of input files, [vpype](https://github.com/abey79/vpype)'s the one most people use.

Going back to really old/simple plotters, there wasn't enough code space to do any optimization. For example, the (fairly terrible) Commodore 1520 roll paper plotter had 2KB of ROM for all the 6502-compatible code its micro-controller used. When I first looked into the [firmware](https://e4aws.silverdr.com/hacks/6500_1/), I was pretty shocked that it printed text by scanning a table of character data from the start every time. Then I realized that even storing pointers for each character would use up about ⅛ of total storage, and the mechanical plotter mechanism was always way behind anything the code could do. So small mattered more than efficient
>If you want to treat climate change as an existential threat

Chasing that rabbit down the hole, what happens if the US does wean off fossil fuel entirely, but countries like Russia and China continue (and say it is projected to increase 400X like China in the last 30 years). Then its an existential threat, does that mean use of force, or limit ourselves to diplomatic means that will ultimately fail and just accept the resulting existential outcome? Does the analysis change when it is a less diplomatically controversial Country such as India?

Alternatively what if those Countries beat the US to weaning off fossil fuel and determine overnight any continued US use of fossil fuel is an existential threat and act of war?

It sounds like hyperbole but I remember when the US began regulating incandescent light bulbs and it was floated by certain media outlets as an attack on freedom and liberties. We have literally seen murders of people telling others to wear a mask during the pandemic, and I watched a news segment claiming a normal year sees 150-300 FAA incidents on planes and we have seen 1,300 already this year mostly related to passengers refusing to wear masks and many times escalating to attacks on the airline workers for attempting to enforce the CDC mask guidelines. We live in violent and chaotic times, where millions and millions of people allow themselves to be worked up into mobs by a media that does it willfully and deliberately. I don't see it as an easy transition domestically much less globally, and those in power don't care about the science but seem to froth at the mouth for this kind of discontent.
Not a dilemma, it's just shitty.

Where does the $800 figure come from? As far as we know, it's just a number they made up. I have strong doubts they would be able to sell the vest at that price if only the "full price" option were available.
The forest sound detectives
People Fixing the World

Scientists are checking up on the health of forests by analysing the sounds in them. They test their vital signs by measuring the croaks, tweets and hums of resident creatures. If they can hear a full range of animals they can be confident an ecosystem is doing well. However, if gaps start to appear, it’s a sign something is up.

Nick Holland hears more about how it works and how it’s being used to strike a balance between the needs of Papua New Guinea’s growing indigenous communities and the need to preserve the biodiversity of the forests they live off.
Hah... what if I go on a multi-day ride in an area with no cell coverage? Or in a foreign country where I don't want to activate maybe-expensive data roaming on my phone?

> This feels like a somewhat dubious metric, all told.

The claim was: Python was easy for beginners. Certainly a simpler, more consistent grammar is easier for beginners.

For me, I left Perl for exactly that reason. Python just seemed to "fit in my head" much more easily than Perl. Scalar vs List context is a PITA.

> For one, complexity of language says little about complexity of programs made in language.

True. But I can also tell you that I could come back to my Python code a couple months later and still understand it. That never happened with my Perl code.

And, this really got put to the test when Python code I wrote 15 years ago came back home to roost. Yeah, I cringed at some of the ways I did things in the code (although probably I should be kinder to my younger self--it was Python 1 code chewing through nasty binary formats), but I could still understand it and debug it.
> another tech CEO/Founder can go to Burning Man, trip on LSD and peyote, brag to everyone they were out of their mind at Burning Man, and face no consequences

To which CEO are you referring? Also, the comparative context is very different. One (Zhu) is in a fundraising meeting with a potential investor (i.e. in professional capacity) whereas the other (your hypothetical) is at a festival (i.e. a personal capacity).

> I feel the LSD wasn't the main problem. Zhu just didn't manage the company in a manor they felt comfortable with and used any pretext to cast him out.

I agree. The article seems to suggest that the LSD incident was merely emblematic of a trend of behavior with which the board was unsatisfied. In fact, reading between the lines, it actually seems like the board was more troubled that Zhu chose to publicize the LSD incidence via a reporter.

> Spin out tens or hundreds of smaller teams with their own independent creative direction to try out new ideas.

My impression is that big game studios would rather put all their eggs in one basket where they're (fairly) certain they can make a decent return rather than spreading it around a bunch of smaller projects and hoping one of them turns out to be Minecraft. This is the same dynamic driving large movie studios to invest huge sums of money in a shrinking number of huge blockbusters.

This is a lie at our current technology levels.
Theres some negativity in the comments, but honestly from the images this looks like a very well executed design. This is the first modular laptop I've ever seen that appears to be competitive from a design and realistic usability standpoint with a modern packaged laptop.

Let's say WC3 had been a smashing technical success and it delivered everything everyone wanted in terms of the remastered graphics etc, it still wouldn't have been very successful.

Their legal team forced the ToS to include a clause where they claim any and all player-made content, stories or intellectual property belonged to Activision-Blizzard and not to the modders who made them. They did this because they believed they "lost" DOTA to Valve, instead of realizing that DoTA originally helped them sell a lot of copies of WC3 and they had no moral right to the IP anyway, something the courts recognized, thankfully.

I have a wild theory that no honorable veteran Blizzard dev actually wanted to work on Reforged because they knew about Legal's position and therefore knew Reforged had no chance of actually matching it's former glory days. The chance that a lot of modders would want to create content for it were effectively zero.

I think the shifting "product focus" is probably the main factor here, simply because such a service being used for malware hosting was completely predictable from day 1. When they started they probably thought that it was worth it, then later on they changed their mind. That or they were incredibly naive.
I did, but none of my friends did. I went sofar as to delete my Blizzard account. I wasn't having fun with their games anyways though, and I tend to get irrationally addicted to watching numbers go up (WoW achievements) so I think it was a good choice all around for myself.
> And honestly, I have a lot of old laptops with perfectly usable screens and keyboards that are gathering dust because the CPU is hopelessly obsolete.

Yep. I have a ~2008 15.4" Dell laptop with a 1920x1200 screen that's pretty decent even by modern standards and tons of ports that'd be a perfectly serviceable (if a bit bulky) if it could be outfitted with a modern 15-30W TDP CPU to cut down on heat and boost battery life to something more reasonable.
It wasn't "abandoned" it was shut down because it was being used by malicious parties to deliver malware, and worse.
What about the rest of that sentence? The way I read it (admittedly, the English is broken, so it isn't entirely clear what they meant) was that nginx is only good at "serving" static content, while the rest of what it does is proxying, not "serving". In that case, where a distinction is intentionally made between "serving" and "proxying", taking request for dynamic content and just shooting them off to an application server like uwsgi wouldn't be considered "serving".

Taking this logic to the extreme, socat is also very good at serving dynamic content:

$ socat TCP-LISTEN:80,fork,reuseaddr TCP:127.0.0.1:8080 # Make sure Gunicorn is running on port 8080 to handle incoming requests
My argument is that the same organization is the one specifying whether a particular piece of paper or commodity can or cannot be used, and under what conditions. As we've seen in the United States, currency is only legal tender because the US government says that it is - there is nothing intrinsic about either fiat, representative, or commodity-based currency as a legitimate means of exchange. All of these classifications can be changed at any time (Emergency Banking Act of 1933).

Why, again, should I care about whether or not my dollar can be converted into silver if the government can, overnight, revoke redemption and outright ban ownership of the underlying commodity?

Yeah, they originally had it all open and found out that it was a mess. Having very distinct and static characters is a neat idea but the problem is that there is usually one set of them that everyone wants to play. I've started just playing tanks to get short queues, but it gets boring quick since there are so few of them and not much difference in play style.

The other issue is that if you play casually and get a terrible healer, then you will almost certainly lose. Being a fantastic player only gets you so far.

Other people mentioned Valorant, and it appears it has a very different style with exchangeable weapons that apply to all classes, but just different abilities and more strategic games. It seems like a really good player can make a bigger difference and play solo. I'm going to look into that now.
