This was very much intentional. For us when playing online, a focus element was missing, something to gather around (I know that sounds a bit vague). We were looking for something that felt a bit like being inside a video game, but allowing the flexibility of a TTRPG system. Help with game mechanics or organization felt secondary, and it still does in our games. There is of course a lot of different players out there. And we are looking into doing some rules integrations. It will unlikely go the route of full automatization though. Being able to build/play/share together, make changes to the board in real time, and the feel of playing is going to take precedence.

TaleSpire isn't going to be right for everyone. Luckily the TTRPG space is incredibly diverse and have excellent creators with different priorities. So it has a lot of people covered.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the game!
Exactly. It may actually be in Apple's interest to not actively hinder the hacker community from doing wonders with Apple hardware. After all, a successful ecosystem there will lead to more purchases from Apple!
Everything you need comes with the product. You staple the plate to the wall using little plastic films and then there’s another piece that hooks onto the plate. Then you attach the TV to that piece with screws into the VESA holes.

That connecting piece can either be articulating (like the one I linked to) or just a metal hook with screw holes on the other side (that's the one I have actually).

I disagree.

The second loop runs from 1 to n, whereas in Bubble Sort it runs from 1 to n-1.

The comparison here is between A[i] and A[j], whereas in Bubble Sort it's always only between A[i] and A[i+1].

This one always performs n^2 comparisons, whereas Bubble Sort never performs n^2 comparisons.

This one compares elements to themselves, whereas Bubble Sort never compares and element with itself.

If you sort the array [1,2,3], the first thing this routine does is swap the 1 and 2, giving [2,1,3], whereas Bubble Sort runs along the array, makes no swaps, and exits.

This is not Bubble Sort.

It's true that if you take an existing sorting algorithm and change things around you can get other sorting algorithms. The question is then one of just how different it is.

If you choose to believe this is "just Bubble Sort" then that's up to you, but I disagree.

Not sure if he will go nowhere, he is still having the same 4% lead (24% vs 20%) over Le Pen for the 2022 election (I just checked). Macron basically replaced the French Conservatives (they basically died after Sarkozy) while the Socialists (not in the sense most in the US understand that, they are the French left) killed themselves with Hollande after Sarkozy. So there was a huge opportunity for someone like Macron, it seems Le Pen isn't really able to get a true majority.

These numbers are despite things like: Yellow Vest demonstrations against Macron, his hugely unpopular reforms around retirement (especially railways among other things), Covid lockdowns and so on.

The NZ voting system looks very much like the German system to me. And while that system certainly has its flaws (e.g. when a party has more directly voted members than seats from the overall proportion of votes), it does respect a higher number of cast votes than FPTP. Any vote in FPTP that wasn't cast for the winning local candidate is lost. In MMP, every vote for a party influences the result in every case.
People do all the time, since, as I mentioned, it's still the basis of the French legal system. For something straight out of the 18th century, the very first sentence of the current French constitution begins:

Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l’Homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu’ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 [...]

It's just a strange argument to make about two states that were effectively founded right around the same time, espousing broadly similar principles and continue to do so, claiming them as fundamental to their systems of government. Both have had a couple of hundred years' worth of significant reinterpretations of these principles.

This is a naturally occurring watermark rather than an intentional one. Scanned images are unlikely to afford sufficient stealth to detect leaks (the potential leakers know that the image they scanned is unique and others have different scanned images). For the standard setup of distributing watermarked documents to people, differently scanned images are unsubtle and therefore not as useful as, say, doctoring the least significant bits of JPEG coefficients.
How to Create a Responsive Navbar Using Material UI and React Router
Dude I paid for it via my FICA taxes. It’s called being on SSDI (which is an ENTITLEMENT program which allows you to have Medicare). In other words, I paid enough into the system to receive such care. It is an entitlement program, not a welfare program.

However, there are 2 disability programs. The other one is called SSI (a means tested program) which is a form of WELFARE (which I am NOT eligible for). You have to be very indignant to be eligible for Medicaid, which is likewise an insurance program. However it can be quite a shitty insurance plan depending on the state you live in, and it can end up being life or death for many disabled. As I said, this situation depends on which state you live in, which is unacceptable and disgusting and it really shows how much one cares for their fellow Americans.

You are basically an idiot for being unaware of the semantics of these two programs as you can become disabled at any time. I suggest you actually spend some time on SSA.gov to learn more.

Also, how dare you talk shit about the cost of my medication. As I said it’s an entitlement program obtained via working (except in very rare cases like End Stage Renal Disease). It is in no way my fault that the government actuaries did not do their jobs properly so that we were properly taxed for such things in the first place. I don’t get it: the American public, assholes like you, think it’s OK to talk shit about the cost of my precious lifesaving medication. Yet, the American public does not do anything to compel congress to negotiate the prices of such lifesaving medications.

By the way, I fight back against this BS about the cost of medications all the time. It’s called reading patents and going through engineering school. Trust me, I know how much these medications actually cost. So yeah, I talk shit about it all the time to people like healthcare lawyers fighting the system.

But seriously, it’s called America and I have a right to this medication whether you agree with it or not.

Also, Americans lack the reasonable expectation that someone will care for them. So, there’s a baseline anxiety and fear that dominates our politics which can end up being quite sadistic.

This situation in its entirety is quite unique in the developed world, and Americans have not gotten their act together. I mean, I even get much better care for my type 1 diabetes (autoimmune and insulin dependent) in Croatia, which I am a citizen of. Because of being Croatian, the world is really my oyster and it confers me Freedom of Movement rights as I am a European Union citizen due to being Croatian. So I can live in 27 EU countries and more, where I am conferred far more rights, including with respect to healthcare.

Most importantly, I don’t have to put up with bullshit drama from Americans like you who think it’s OK not to care for their fellow citizens.
The kernel OOM is just plain broken. I can't understand how can it be possible that, on Windows, whenever I run out of RAM the OS kills whatever process is consuming too much and the computer keeps running flawlessly. However, on Linux, my computer just... freezes. It freezes and stops responding. Not even the mouse moves. Having to use a userspace OOM is the most inelegant thing I've seen. So I need to have 2 OOMs so that the good one can beat the bad one? It's so redundant, it's plain stupid. How come NOBODY is doing anything. If I knew c++ I would for sure send a patch.

I like the idea of a simple SQLite DB, but agree it's a bit overkill. In particular, it increases the barrier to writing a log message (what structure/keys/etc. to choose?), which disincentivises logging.

The accumulate-then-dump idea doesn't require any database though; just an in-memory buffer (e.g. a linked-list). For example, we can have all ERROR/WARNING/INFO messages output immediately, as is current practice. The difference would be for DEBUG messages:

- Common practice is that if DEBUG is set then we'll output DEBUG messages as they're encountered; if DEBUG is not set then we'll skip over them.

- The suggestion is that if DEBUG is not set, then instead of skipping messages the logger would put them in a buffer. If an unrecoverable error occurs, we can put a call like `logger.dumpDebug()` in the handler, so all those DEBUG messages will appear in the logs to help us diagnose the error. If no error occurs, the buffer just gets discarded.

This obvious takes more memory, but fits well with a request/response setup like a server. Long-running applications/games could either use a ring buffer, or identify points where it makes sense to empty the buffer.
Whether or not En Marche collapses after the 2022 election largely depends on whether they win or not.. And if they win, how they do until 2027.
Note the "except if you have a very good reason" caveat.

I think this is a good ops team mantra. PostgreSQL unless you have a very good reason otherwise, and k8s unless you have a very good reason otherwise.

Decisions like this allow for economies of scale with tooling, monitoring/observability, etc.

Saying no to snowflakes is an important part of having a good ops team.
As someone who's managed to negotiate 4 day weeks in my current and last 2 jobs, I see some issues: You take a pay hit of 10-20% (depending what hours you work over those 4 days) so need to be reasonably frugal and if you've a partner they need to be too, especially if you got kids. It may stand in the way of getting more seniority, which compounds the pay hit (however, I personally am happy as a mid-range, and feel like this may prolong my career life as I'm still coding all the time not doing less techy stuff). You need to keep your employer believing you're committed to your job. In my experience this isn't difficult because in practice you get pretty much the same work done in 4 days as 5, but some people are scared this won't appear the case. In terms of the pay hit, the other side is that with a weekday off you can do some cooking, shop around for cheaper things etc which reduces costs. If you have kids, both parents working 3 or 4 days a week may be tax advantageous over 1 working 5 days and the other 2, for example. To be honest, looking around, my colleagues could easily have asked for 4-day weeks too, and I don't think they would have been refused. A few did ask, and they were allowed too. People like to blame employers for being inflexible but actually I suspect this is cover for their own fear of the unknown. My advice = be bold, just try it. BTW just for the record I do have some above the normal caring responsibilities, so that's why I do a 4 day week and it also gives me an "excuse" to ask.

> many failures which have then backfired on the US

Sure they have mistakes, like the failures in this article and many others, but to claim they are in general harmful to US interests...I think it probably just appears that way.

Because I think they probably serve the capitalist and mercantilist interests of the US, which probably differ in appearance from the more symbolic or mythological appearances of what the US is. So on the outside, the idea of patriotism is quite sentimental, perhaps on the inside it's all about capital and mercantile power.

So things which seem to violate the more sentimental and mythological idea of the US and patriotism, perhaps are actually wins from a mercantile or capitalist perspective....or maybe they are just failing on that mission as well I don't know.

He just strikes me as a very unethical person.
If you are a British citizen, and you want to get a spouse visa for your spouse to move to the UK with you, expect to pay over 3000 GBP (over 4000 USD).

Australia is even worse – the standard fee is AUD 7850 (over 5600 USD).

Sure, you can marry anybody you want, but you may not be able to afford the necessary visa so that they can live with you.

The worst thing about the UK – pre-Brexit, any EEA (EU+Norway+Iceland+Liechtenstein) or Swiss national could work in the UK, and get working rights for their spouse too, by applying for a free EEA Family Permit. So citizens of 30 countries could bring their spouses to the UK for free, but UK citizens had to pay over 3000 pounds. There was a workaround, the so-called Surinder Singh route, named after the court decision which established it – a UK citizen could move to an EEA state and accept a job there, and after working there for three months, move back to the UK, and then they were eligible for an EEA Family Permit for their spouse. But it seems heartless to make your own citizens to jump through such loopholes just to have a common life with their spouse, when you'd let citizens of 30 other countries do it for free.
Charging the battery itself alone might be efficient. Take your 90% efficiency as true, and assume electric motor efficiency as 90% too, now the net efficiency drops to 81%. To reach your home, there most likely at least one step-up transformer and 2 or more step-down transformers. Assuming all those transformers are super efficient with a efficiency of 90% too, then the efficiency now becomes 65.61% for two transformers scenarios, 59.049% for 3 transforms scenarios. Considering the cost of manufacturing the battery, the huge weigh of the battery(85kWh now weighs around 540kg), the overhead of the power grid as a result of staggeringly over provisioning needed: assuming charging a 85kWh battery from 0% to 100% in 1 hour, using 220V AC power, nominal current required is 85 * 1000(kW) / 220(V) = 386.36A. Assuming power factor 80%, then the required currency is 386.36/0.8=482.95A, how much is going to cost for that capacity? 1 hour might be too aggressive, let take a concession to 8 hours, then the currency required is 60.37A. Just take look at your home's fuse, how much is that rating? Let's take another concession to require only 50% charge, then the required currency is ~30.19A, which is still around 10 times normal off-peak usage or ~3 times peak hour usage. Are you seriously considering to increase the capacity of the whole power grid by 3 to 10 times just for charging the car at home to 50% juice in 8 hours?
Yeah, him getting a majority was the bigger surprise. The presidential election is a popularity contest. Both major, traditional parties shot themselves in the foot repeatedly and lost a lot of their appeal. Then, in a runoff against Le Pen, you just win by not being a Nazi.

Getting enough MPs, so many of them outsiders, on a technocratic platform (so without pulling th usual emotional strings) was quite impressive. Of course, the end result is not great, but then nothing really is these days
FYI, there probably aren't coal stacks aren't visible in that photo. Or if they are they aren't obvious. What it is showcasing is the cooling towers (ie, water vapour). There is a reason that there is a large lake in the frame. It isn't decorative or accidental.

The coal stacks are likely to be much thinner and the gasses less visible.

I get this, but I prefer this tradeoff instead of the browser unloading something I wanted to keep loaded.

When I start Firefox, most tabs (4 or 5 nowadays) won't load, but be there as placeholders for things I need/want to solve through the week (e.g., Amazon search for a gift for my nephew, Youtube list of tutorials). They won't load until I'm ready to use those tabs.

On the other hand, I've had tabs loaded from the start of one session and used sparsely through the day. I would not want those tabs to be unloaded without my consent, even if they are memory hogs, as it would interrupt my workflow. Crashing is fine (and accepted as a last moment failsafe move) by me.
Flipping the question within a restricted variable is my favorite hack.

Overlords - “How much money do you need for this project?”

Me - “How much money can we spend?” / “How much time should we spend?”

Friend- “Look at how much money that CEO earns!”

Me - “What will you give up in your lifestyle to do what the CEO does?”

The only challenge though in these situations is that most people aren’t open enough to do “Think in bets”. They either avoid the question or don’t even attempt to come an answer (despite them not spending a single dime!).

Nearly every jurisdiction on earth has rules about who can marry whom. Especially when it comes to immigration. My best friend's fiance had to return to her home country from their shared second for 8 months while she applied for another visa to allow them to legally change her status when she married.

I feel like it's really strange that HN commenters hate on Singapore for having standards for immigrants. To the point of lying and saying that Work Permit holders aren't allowed to marry citizens in order to drum up outrage, and only backtracking when called out on it.

Google the Three-Fifth compromise some day. Or whip out your copy of the US Constitution and closely read Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3. It took a civil war that almost tore apart the nation to rectify.

That's what those - infallible to some - founding fathers compromised on.
Sometimes Macron makes me think of Schröder in Germany. Both came as a surpise, both had to implement some unpopular measures. In the case of Schröder, these measures helped to get Germany back on its economic feet (Germany was Europe's sick man in the 90s) and ultimately cost him his Chancellory further down the road. And not all these reforms were actually "good", Hartz 4 is still a damn disgrace for rich, highly industrialized country. Not that it will be changed anytime soon, regardless of the next government we get. We'll see how Macron does.

Not being a Nazi is actually good thing so. Even more so if it wins elections!
