There are mods and external tools that add normal graphics (top-down, isometric, even full 3d) and simplify micromanagement. It's not that bad if you use Lazy Newb Pack that has DF and most of these utils preconfigured.

But yes, it isn't very accessible.
Typically in DF, you lose because of a hilarious sequence of events that overwhelms your fortress' capacity to cope, not through undocumented behaviour and bugs.
I would LOVE tpms and every other hardware security feature if the had an user override that allows me (and only me) to control what the device does. Basically the opposite of the current and forseeable landscape.
Waste. Specifically, the need to replace all your cables when you replace your phone even if they're all in working order.
Where you are wrong is believing Apple considers its users customers...

They do not, this clear by the way they handle the ecosystem. See a customer buys something from a company, after which they own it

Apple on the other hand does not have customers, they can not because they do not sell anything, dont be fooled by the high prices, and verbiage that indicates you are "buying" something, marketing that in a sane and just society would be considered illegal as deceptive

No no, you simply rent the device from apple for a period of time determined by apple, and are given permission to use the device in ways only the owner (Apple) approves.
No it is not the same. But you're naive if you think telegram does not have 100x the number of whatever bad is on facebook including slavery, especially in third world countries.

The examples, is just what you are *Bombarded* with on telegram if you vanture a bit away from corporate channels and happen to know other languages than English.
Hypersonics is like fusion, everyone needs to be doing it. They’ve been trying for decades and so far it’s been a bust.

Queue news stories about Chinese or Russian hypersonics with zero real data and calls by the MIC to close the “hypersonic gap”

In the pantheon of weapon systems it is simply the most expensive way to do something.
It's a rare and beautiful thing indeed. NetHack is the other obvious comparison, but my impression is that development has happened in bursts of activity rather than as a continuous effort.

Some MUDs have this kind of longitudinal development - like the Discworld MUD or LambdaMOO.

And of course the AAA commercial MMORPGs with huge budgets and cattle users that get milked $14.99/month. Though I suspect those are unsustainable in the long run.
This is so ironic considering that Willie is an Orcadian, so is genetically Norwegian (mostly).
Onyx Boox has great hardware (although my Poke 3 screen has two cracks in less than 6 months), but Android is not a selling point. It is very annoying to have a locked-down, app-based ecosystem, especially after my last device, a Pocketbook Inkpad X (which broke in less than 2 months, they wanted $300+ to repair the screen). At this point, I am waiting for the PineNote, which should be repairable and open enough to be comfortable.
Wireless charging is an efficiency nightmare.
What if the TV manufacturer didn't even need retail distribution because they have their own warehouses, trucks, etc and will gladly send you a TV for $0 and charge on-device subscription fees to cover it.

But sadly, you bought your home in a neighborhood with an HOA, and even though you own your home, the HOA requires all retail purchases have to go through them, and they take a 30% cut of everything and they won't let you order that TV directly from the manufacturer to put in your house.

But this is ok, because this is what you agreed to when you bought your home.
How do you know who you can trust? When all apps (including keyboards, I assume) get Internet access by default, I am very reluctant to try any third party keyboard at all.

I appreciate this - I should have expanded on my original post with the appeals disclaimer to clarify.
For all of you who work in tech jobs with somewhat flexible hours, I'll let you in on a secret: There's nothing stopping you from doing that now. I banished the time change from my life and get up at the same physiological time all year. Half the year I do 8 to 4 and the other half I do 9 to 5. It's wonderful and I implore you all to try it!
If web browsers had stuck to just delivering documents, the Internet wouldn't have become what it is today. We'd end up with a bunch of AOL-like walled gardens, which benefits nobody.

Your "get off my lawn" ideal for web browsers would have never worked.
Have that changed to politics... These discussions never went outside of its scholastic bubble and have not shape the society in the past decades.
How massive? Like actual Amazon delivery/warehouse workforce sized massive? Or just a small org?

I'm gonna assume the latter. And forget about 'massive', they clearly don't even want to hire enough to make it decently large.

Tech companies are fine hiring people when they can't just push the costs (social and monetary) onto others. But Facebook thinks it can - so it is.
I haven't personally used Replay, but from my experience using rr (a native debugger that also provides time-traveling features) being able to replay execution both backwards and forwards in time on a whim is amazing. These tools excel at diagnosing bugs that are hard to reproduce, because you only have to reproduce the bug once under the debugger and then you can endlessly replay that execution until you figure it out. As Jason said above, you can retroactively add print statements in places that would be useful, without having to waste time trying to reproduce the bug again!

roc (the original author of rr) founded a company to build an even more compelling product on top of rr called Pernosco. They have some mind-blowing demos I'd recommend you check out: https://pernos.co/ .

Being able to easily answer questions like "where did the value in this variable come from, and when did it get set?" makes debugging a wildly different experience.
It's become a thing because saying, "do your own research" is infinitely easier than investigating the current accepted body of knowledge to risk wasting months or years of your life only to find out that the current accepted body of knowledge was already correct.

"Do your own research" is the "trust no one" of the 2020's. Anyone who says it simply wants you to go away and isn't interested in debate and is unwilling to accept any information that might imply that they are wrong. If someone says "do your own research" to you and you are not both currently scientists working in the same field then it is safe to ignore them and everything they have ever said (and quite possibly everything they ever will say).

The man ran around screaming about how COVID wasn't a big deal and thus we needed to stop with the lockdowns and whatnot.

As our ERs, ICUs, and morgues were overwhelmed.

Which is still repeatedly happening, in regions with low vaccination and poor pandemic health regulations/orders. Except now it's lots of kids too young to get the vaccine or below age of being able to get the vaccine on their own without parental approval.

It would be exceedingly kind to say his "this isn't a big deal, not that many people percentage-wise are dying"...was at best incredibly heartless.
No I don't mean discoverability (although, that too) and no I don't think search engines are involved at all. They link to the content, they don't host it.

Facebook hosts the content and makes it available to the public. That is why they are special. None of the other steps do both
I expect this is a battle that Apple isn't even trying to fight: they just released an USB-C iPad, and next year marks the 10th anniversary of Lightning.

The dock connector lasted ~10 years (it was first made available in 2003, lightning was released in 2012, the 30pin stopped being produced in 2014 outside of India).
Oil is extracted from the earth primarily to burn it, such as in automobile engines. The fact that it goes through a refining stage is irrelevant.
If it's decentralized, it's harder to rank, sort, discover, and promote such content. Every gangster in the world has an email account, but you have to know their address to contact them. The centralized systems host the content, sort, filter, and promote such illegal content.

It's the difference between a vault of snuff VHS tapes hidden underground in a locked vault and a streaming snuff r' us channel that is promoted actively to people looking for snuff content, with the content mirrored globally for accessibility for all localities.
Just to put a button this excellent summary, the classic example of "rearranging words to form a sentence that we think has meaning" that Wittgenstein uses in Investigations is the question: "What is the meaning of life?"

We think intuitively that because we constructed this sentence with words, that it must have meaning, and must have an answer - as you say, it is flipping the causal relationship between starting with a sign and using language versus starting with language and trying to find a sign. This question is ultimately the latter.
Also Kenya: it's all about Lagos vs. Nairobi.
That could be done, yes.

Perhaps a more interesting question is to ponder why an artist might not want that flexibility. How does it affect their creative process when in order to make a new sound the old one must be destroyed? Are there positives to that workflow?
Exactly! Software has shortchanged the idea of books, which is a consumer product, with the idea of files, which spawned originally for only enterprise use-cases like the MS Word, PDF, and what not.
The problem with eliminating "waste" is the bang for the buck. It would take massive restructuring to cut the 7% administration in half. But then you've only saved 3.5%!

So when addressing a problem, you start with the first order stuff, and then go to the second order stuff, and you do this in terms of impact, not in terms of conceptual clarity.

Cut nurses and doctors, medical staff wages in half, and you save 40%.

The real point here is that you can't have affordable healthcare if nurses are earning 6 figures.

That's why nurses in the UK earn 40K/year. It's the price of affordable healthcare.

That's the core trade off between affordable healthcare and US style healthcare.

But all of a sudden now we do not have the same moral clarity as we did when we were only talking about "waste".

So let's have that debate right now - the real healthcare debate, not the fake healthcare debate -- and stop pretending this is a problem that can be solved with waste while allowing nurses to keep their 6 figure salaries.

It is what we call cheap moralism to decry how unfair high healthcare costs are in the US and then avoid raising any of the tough issues of what would happen to people whose livelihoods depend on those costs being so high.
There is a certain niche that’s impressed by a long CV, but it’s not he kind of niche I’d want to impress. They’re people who say things like “look how many versions of PHP he can use. And he knows how to use The Linux!”.
I don't know about Agile but I'm doing SCRUM by the book at my new job and I want to kill myself every other second.
don't know how it was fixed in DF, however that feels like a problem that was "solved" in DND; if you try and move via a medium for which you don't have a natural speed, you make a check - if you have a natural speed you don't need to make the check. Thus characters don't need to make "walking" checks, but they do have to make "climb" checks. Similarly fish have a swim speed, so they never have to make swim checks. In the event that your ability is impeded in some way (e.g. grease on a ladder) then you might have to make a check against your (normally not-tested) skill, which would be high for your natural movement modes.
I would image that it is indeed against their terms but when it comes to crawling it always feels like a grey area. Always "it depends".

Interesting idea!

For some reason it seems that books can be really tricky. With that said, Google does have a books API[1] that I played with in an earlier project.

I guess that explains why there haven't been any real competitors to Goodreads even people complain about how terrible is the service all over the internet.

Related to books, few days ago this app[2] was trending on HN which I thought was pretty cool.

> So basically, the more north you are, the more summer daylight comes very early in the morning.

That is half the picture. The more north you are the later in the evening sunlight lasts. I grew up near Minneapolis - in winter there is nothing you can do to get daylight both before and after school hours, and when close to the equinox it is hard to even hit one if you sun during recess as well (one hour after school starts or one hour before it ends).

Daylight savings time is useless in the north because there isn't enough daylight in winter to do anything useful with no matter what you do. In summer it is pointless as there is far more daylight than you need and so you have to learn to sleep with the sun up.

Hadn’t heard of this. Very cool! Thanks for sharing
I'm not sure how much of a thing it is now, but managers would use github/lab metics to measure productivity.

Any metric that becomes a stand in for success will be gamed.
Lawmakers realize theres no clickbait like baiting the intersection of "think of the children," "there aught to be a law" and "speaking truth to power."
There isn't exactly any truly "self playing" mode, but you can always set up a fortress and then just see how long it runs before falling apart. The dwarves all have their own needs that they'll try to deal with on their own, and you can assign standing orders for things like farms and food production, as well as guard schedules and patrol routes for basic defenses.

There's also the worldgen process which is probably the closest, but doesn't really let you inspect anything while it's happening. The "legends" gamemode lets you explore the history of the world after it's been established, and there's some 3rd party tools to make exploring the maps and timelines a little easier.
You could accept the counter offer and then be replaced by someone who's willing to work for less (you might even have to train them before you're dismissed). It's just easier to take the new gig and get paid more with a clean political slate

Having the method available doesn't mean having the ability to use it! There may be systemic reasons why the interest rate doesn't get proactively raised enough to pop a bubble, such as maligned incentives.
The Economist has been predicting a Japan style financial crisis in China regularly since the early 90s. They have always been wrong. You'd think they'd update their model of how China works, but they are so bought into the western system of finance that they can never do that.

China doesn't have boom bust cycles because:

1. It has little foreign debt.

2. It has a trade surplus.

3. It prints money to bailout any internal bad loans. It does this politically by picking and choosing winners and who gets bailed out, usually with foreigners getting stiffed.

4. Its bank bailouts do not require issuance of new debt or taxpayer austerity.

5. Banks do not all collapse at the same time because they get fresh new printed money to lend.

6. Anyone at the bank who takes advantage of that moral hazard to lend outside of guidelines gets executed.

7. The banks have very detailed guidelines for how they are to lend such that they are more or less partially privatized central planning.

8. The government regularly issues guidelines to preemptively crush bubbles on purpose by restricting lending to overheated sectors instead of across the entire economy via raised interest rates.

I am not a big fan of the CCP, but their financial system is impressive. That system, by design, has conquered the boom/bust cycle, but western observers refuse to believe this because they are so throughly bought into the architecture of the western financial system and the many billions of words written on the topic of the operation of that system which is based on very different rules that they cannot imagine it could work any other way.
Chance Lake Powell won't be able to generate hydropower in 2023 due to drought
How is Norway dealing with the resulting increase in electric demand, charging at peak times etc? Have there been investments in ripping/replacing distribution and transmission to account for increased demand?

Clickbait-y title aside (other comments were pretty helpful to point this out), this sounds pretty positive.
Nah it's super easy to get enough protein just from plants. Lets say your 160 lbs, which translates to about 58 grams of protein daily [1]. Then lets take a look at some high protein plants: https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/19-high-pro...

You can trivially hit daily protein goals with just a few cups of various beans, and thats ignoring things life tofu, seitan, leafy greens, etc.

Besides, we know folks can get enough protein from plants alone, as there are many plant-based athletes and bodybuilders.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I also have a Signal group with couple of close friends where we discuss all sort of topics in depth. Really enjoy the conversations but I imagine it is difficult to scale that.
Those are all reasonable arguments, but the argument I most believe reflects Apple's internal thinking is pretty much just "everyone already has lightning at this point, switching to USBC would make headlines in a bad way, generate a ton of lightning e-waste, and Qi is so close to wide adoption that maybe we can just jump USBC for these small devices which don't need 30watt+ of power".

The argument that its a physically smaller port feels like an "Apple circa-2016" argument, not an "Apple circa-2021" argument. They just made the iPhone 13 0.25mm thicker to fit a bigger battery (among other things); I think they've moved past the "thinner at any cost" argument (though I do believe that was an argument for lightning at one time).

"Control" is a tenuous given they've thrown USBC/Thunderbolt on everything except the iPhone. They already have a massive voice inside the USB-IF; switching the iPhone to USBC would only increase their strength among the USB community. And sure, they'd still have to be standards compliant, but I really don't think "lightning 2.0" is ever coming, period. I think they have the hard metrics to prove that 0.1% of iPhone users ever use that port for anything except charging.

And selling more cables is also tenuous. They'll sell USB-C cables anyway; I just paid them $30 or whatever for one for my laptop charger, because the two offbrand ones Best Buy sold me couldn't carry 85 watts.

The best argument I've ever heard for lightning is actually: Physically, its a MUCH sturdier connector. Just look at the inside of a USBC female port, versus lightning. There's just less stuff; USBC has a big tooth that sticks out, whereas lightning is just contacts along the outside. Lightning connectors, and cables, are much simpler, and thus less likely to experience damage over time.

So, yeah; I think they want to skip USBC and go right to Qi, basically seal up the entire outside of the phone. And I can't say I disagree; my iPhone only ever charges over Qi. But, maybe its worthwhile to just make them keep USBC around, if for no other reason than e-waste.
> Frankly it was an interesting observation of yours, but a less charitable view of your comment is that you were subtly trying to start the same idiotic flame thread found at the bottom of any Brave post on this forum. And you did.

Nope. I simply stated the facts, not that it really was the point of my comment anyway, hence the edit.

> In case your observation was in good faith, I don't think Mozilla would have gone so deep into crypto and those little unsavoury sponsorships (Binance, etc.) had Eich never left his top spot, and I am positive his governance would have kept Mozilla and Firefox itself in a better place than whatever is happening over there right now.

It's hard to say. I don't agree with crypto and think it's not really a great way to go, but Mozilla has Google funding - I don't think it's ridiculous to think Mozilla Rewards or equivalent could've been introduced somehow (with or without crypto)
In your link, Snopes brought a bunch of evidence to bear: price of the Big Mac on Uber Eats in the two places, actual Menu prices in Copenhagen vs Oklahoma, then the Big Mac index, which I think you were referring to. It ends with a few more quotes from others that have reported on this issue.

As a fact checking org, what was missing here and what was muddied? I thought it was a pretty clear read.
States don't need permission to opt out. They need permission for the permanent opt-in though.
Please, DrStormyDaniels, more comments from you! A different and original and informed voice indeed!
To clarify, I do not have a problem; I'm simply revealing the existence of certain requirements in the wild.

The 1960's tab modeled after typewriter tab stops is not up to snuff to these requirements.

You fall back on spaces, and then you have a half-baked result where only some of the indentation scales with the tab size.

I suspect that a successful solution will not involve tabs at all. It's algorithmically possible for the text presentation tool, such as the editor, to infer which spaces are indentation and which are alignment, informed by the language syntax, and then allow the indentation spaces to have a configurable size.

I posited that if tabs had simple expansion semantics (tab produces fixed number of spaces starting at any position) that would also be workable. Unfortunately, it requires integration into way too many tools all at the same time.

Does reason exist or is it all just post hoc justifications of their brain chemistry?
If somebody made database credentials that gave exactly the level of access required this might be OK.

How do you do this with with NVMe devices that have a manufacturer label placed in between the chips and where the heat sink would be effective? It’s my understanding that most manufacturers won’t honor the warranty if the label has been removed.
