Classical roguelikes, just like classical RPGs, aren't "fair". The most obvious way is that the hero gains levels (or other powers). Even if monsters can gain technically gain levels as they can in some roguelikes, they practically never do, and even if they can pick up a wand, they can't optimize it like you do in Noita. You are the hero, you are the active agent, other creatures in the world can only respond to you in very limited ways within the same basic ruleset.

Tarn Adams of Dwarf Fortress fame once made a game as a bit of a joke, where the enemies were more actively adversarial, though. As soon as they became aware that you'd entered, they would hide all the treasure and equip all the loot themselves. It was fair to the monsters I guess, but it could be very unfair from the perspective of "developer providing a fair challenge to the player".

Dwarf Fortress is, in adventure mode, famous for being relatively "fair in simulation" rather than "fair in gameplay". Many roguelikes, including the old ones, are perfectly fine with e.g. level scaling, which is hard to justify in simulation-fairness terms.

Author also mentions pollution from the gas furnace though, so no cooking involved. But you're right: would be interesting to know amounts of NO2 released by frying though.

"Nanotech" was a click bait buzzword before "click bait" was a word. We have it, and its fulfilling many promises, in the form of integrated circuits. We had those but larger when the promises of "nanotech" were being sung.

We have "nanopore" filters and they're doing fun things in chemistry and medicine.

As for mechanisms, we have things like accelerometers and microphones and DLP image chips ... useful but complicated mechanisms have maintenance requirements and that becomes a problem when all we can do at that scale is "fire and hope" manufacture. Try to make lots of a thing, hope some of the things come out properly, dont worry about the ones that dont.

i dont think we'll have "nanobots" for a long, long time. Cultured microorganisms will be easier, we're not going to beat proteins by building tiny metal brakes and welders: metals aren't the same at that scale.
Drexler had two ideas for how molecular manufacturing would work: (i) something like a robot arm that would pick and place atoms, and (ii) a mill with molecular gears, conveyor belts and stuff like that.

Circa 1990 some researchers at IBM pushed some atoms around on a surface to spell "IBM" and visualized it with a scanning probe microscope, which seems like a baby step towards (i). To accomplish (i) you need a tip that can pick up an atom and push it to a reaction site and make the reaction happen, much like an enzyme. If you had the tip you could put it on a probe and start building, but we don't. (I do wonder though how you sense the environment to know that the last reaction went right, where the source atom is, etc.)

So far as (ii) I think to biological systems for inspiration and it's something chemists are making gradual progress on

There really isn't.. I can pay 1 million EUR with my debit card if there's enough money in the account. That's the default limit, and can be raised anytime if needed.

If I have the money and they are legal, I can spend them without anyone getting in the way.
I like the wind farm views. It's very subjective of course. Though most people don't like change, and since old power generating stations were high density (eg. a coal plant, just a big building and a smokestack) the new low-density things are naturally running into this change resistance.

The good Norwegian ones, cast iron, burn almost all the fuel in a single log and put out an immense amount of heat, and are perfectly safe if they're vented properly. It's almost as close as you can get to perfection in terms of safety and efficiency. The only downside is it's damn hard to control the heat. (So work on your wok stir fry skills).
There is no censorship resistance with blockchain.

You’re still beholden to the whims of centralized developers and miners.

You’re still beholden to a court order. If the government wants to confiscate your crypto assets they can simply put you in jail until you provide the location of your private key.

If the government can penetrate offshore bank accounts they’ll have no trouble with your crypto wallet.

I’m happily mining ETH with gminer on flexpool.io and selling the coins as fast as I get them just like I did with BTC a decade ago. Because I know this whole thing is a temporary pyramid scheme.

When you build and sell a network security appliance, the appliance has to work properly all the time. You have to give guarantees of how it will perform, guarantee that its functions do what you claim they do, and eliminate all possible bugs. So you have to test it in every configuration possible.

So you make models and build automation test frameworks and labs full of prototype equipment so you can run 10,000 tests an hour, 24/7. You automate setting up networks and nodes and passing live traffic to test detectors and rule sets. You use custom hardware to emulate ISP-levels of real traffic.

You can't really mock anything. You have to be sure each function will perform as you describe. So most of this testing is end-to-end testing. Using a mock wouldn't tell you if the millions of code paths are working correctly; they'd mostly just tell you if the syntax/arguments/etc of a call were correct. Unit tests are basically one step above evaluating that your code compiles correctly, but it's not testing the code works as expected. End-to-end tests are what you can rely on, because it's real traffic to real devices.

That's gonna look different for a lot of your apps, but for web apps that means getting real familiar with synthetic tests and how to test with different browsers. For SDKs it means end-to-end tests for the whole stack of functions, which is a lot more testing than you may have expected. For APIs it means getting the consumers of your APIs involved in end-to-end testing. It also means "testing in production", in the sense of spinning up new production deployments and using those as your end-to-end testing targets (rather than having a dedicated "dev/test/cert" environment which is always deviating from production). This can take a significant effort to adapt in legacy systems, but for Greenfield IaC projects is not very hard to set up.
I don't know, the biggest flaw I've always seen in the quasi-buddhist approach is that some types of suffering - such as intense physical pain, or grief - simply aren't possible to be ignored or meditated or 'enlightened' out of. As long as you're feeling that pain, you're going to be uncomfortable. There is no way out of it.

The way I see it, life vacillates between peaks, plateaus and valleys. I assure you I and most other people can very much feel 'fulfilled' by reaching an oasis of a good meal, a relationship breakthrough, a milestone accomplishment or finding the right medication for an ailment, and be fully present & immersed in that moment-by-moment experience of fulfillment, meaning and satisfaction, while it lasts. But for reasons that I think boil down to biology and possibly even physics, you cannot continue experience that depth of meaning or fulfillment when having extreme back pain while driving in heavy traffic to an unpleasant job that must be done when your dog just died. It's a pipe dream.
This treats the countries around Russia as lesser and pawns for the great powers to use instead of independent entities with their own interests and rights. No one invaded these countries and forced them to be part of NATO, but Russia certainly is invading them to force them not to be part of NATO. The idea that Russia, or any country, has a right to have a "sphere of influence" is completely immoral. Countries should have the right to determine their own path and the individuals inside those countries should have a right to determine their own government. Russia has actively prevented this with it's neighbors.
Censorship compared to what? What can’t you post on the internet? Specifically that the government would stop you from, not private companies like Twitter booting people.

Interesting. We are gas everything in the great white north, but the only reason is the almost prohibitive cost differential. I would not claim that gas is "nicer" than alternatives.
These weird semi-ideological ideas like "don't use margins!" "don't use mocks!" that keep popping up sometimes are leaving me unfazed nowadays. I used to consider them all strongly and weigh the pros and cons but now I feel like I have gained the experience to realize what this is really likely about. I think people come up with this stuff like they come up with political ideas at a bar. They don't actually believe this stuff strongly, it's just some random thing they thought up in the moment and then 5 years later they probably realize that they kept using margins all over their code but no, they didn't bother updating their blog post to do a mea culpa .. of course they didn't.

What I want to know is, what data is there on food service workers? Because their exposure is well above the average person's, and reduces a lot of other potential other noise in the data when compare to their counterpart subpopulations of the same SES and geographic region.
"The more likely norm is unused range hoods, furnace flues that spill chemicals into the air we breathe, and ultimately higher rates of illness..."

The range hood on average American houses are weak, because they are the cheapest. Till I got a range hood built by an Asian manufacturer(Fotile) did I know what I was missing out. Range hoods are measured by the amount of air it can move, CFM.

Futile starts out at 850...while regular ones (GE, for example) are 300, 400. And it's not even a price thing...there are range hoods near the price of Fotile which still only do 400 CFM!

I turn on the fan before turning on the gas stove, and leave it on for a bit after cooking.

The reasons I call out Chinese range hoods is because stir frying is a huge part of cooking and you gotta have something powerful enough to pull out everything.
I didn't want to register for a gemini group just to ask this, but I looked at it from a webdev point of view just long enough to notice there was no evidence of any way to implement a "save comment" or "type in search" feature, basically as if gemini was entirely reduced to mostly static websites with no forms of any kind possible.

Is that an accurate assessment?
There’s a pretty clear (and intentionally vague) definition used by the greater 7DRL community.

3. Procedural content

4. Turn-based

So choose the amount you subsidize so that the cheapest reasonable solution becomes affordable to most people. There are induction stoves costing just a few hundred dollars for example. There is no need to subsidize $3k, but subsidizing electrical or plumbing work to replace fossil fuels with electricity makes perfect sense.
Someone has to do the data entry into the blockchain. You end up having to trust this person, which completely negates the purpose of the blockchain: trustlessness.

What about broiling?
I don't have the answers, but I'm easily drawn to such thought experiments: all the neighbors would agree with you that you're the owner and not the person who sold you the deed but wants to remain inside of it or some intruder or whatever. So, when you knock on their door and try to remove them, you'll get support from the local people who will try to respect what's in the "housechain". It is in their interest that the deeds are respected, because they also own their houses that way.

That's beside the point, though. I'm just noting that the possibility of have distributed deeds does make it possible to have some of the benefits of a centralized government: deeds and currency, without having one. That obviously only works if everyone in the society has come to the agreement that those things are valuable (just like in case of central governments too). But the point is just that you don't need a central person with all the power of issuing them.
I think the word you are looking for is "permutation".

However, if you can use a permutation as a hash function, you might be fine with just using the identity function.
If by my "assumptions" you meant that you personally are the kind of person whom I would expect to lean on "natural" / "organic" talking point to push your agenda, as opposed to using that trope unknowingly (which seemed like a distinct possibility at the time), then your reaction tells me that would be the right assumption. Although I couldn't care less how much some random anon fits my assumptions, even if I had any.
> you know what it's like, and it's not a problem

I don’t think it’s a “problem” per say, but it’s different. The flame indicates temperature in a way most people understand. Have you used a wok? How about cast iron? There’s a lot of nuance to certain dishes and methods that don’t work as well on an electric stove. The flame itself rises and hits the pan in three dimensions and a more distributed way.

I’m not saying it’s not okay (I’ve used an electric stove for a few years). But it’s not “puzzling” why people would like a flame to cook.

Meh. It could be put completely underground. (We could put nuclear power plants hundreds of meters deep underground too.) People don't want to spend on it is the real problem.
We got Haskell to compile on aarch64 architecture:

https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-compile-haskell-on-termux-f...

This was done from an Android phone with Termux running a virtual Ubuntu shell courtesy of PRoot. This was done alongside our larger effort to port SimpleX for iOS and Android. This recipe assumes a fresh Termux installation from Play Store, if installed via F-Droid first two steps are optional.

SimpleX is a thin terminal UI message broker that uses SMP protocols: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat
“the engram – the physical embodiment of a memory”

This sounds like a grotesquely inadequate explanation of memory, along the lines of "vapours"

“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” ~ Nikola Tesla

I rather like this idea that my brain is a receiver and my memories are stored in the cloud
That definition is still relative. It still requires as additional factor the place where the measurement is taken, due to Einstein's theories.

That's why I proposed changing the second definition to 9192631770 cycles in a gravitational field equivalent to that of Greenwich.

Oddly, I'm the opposite. Working in devops and vscode, I find the visual aspect of color and logical formatting improves my work dramatically. Small tools like "bat" vs. "cat" on the terminal are great at quick data parsing for things like yaml, json, and the like. Staying old school for the sake of old school is a bit of a fallacy IMHO.

> I know it is picky but, if a task "needs to be done" then it is on the critical path.

You are wrong.

Critical path is the longest path from start to end of the project. It dictates the length of the project. The idea is that if any of these tasks takes longer, entire project takes longer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_path_method

Has nothing to do with whether the task is important in itself. But the task on critical path is important from the point of view that it has power to affect entire project.

You can still have tasks that need to be done that are not on critical path. This usually means the task can be done in parallel of some other critical task and you have more time available to complete it than the time slot where you can work on it.

Imagine you are manager with only two employees. One employee can only write code, the other can only write documentation.

Your project requires delivering to the client completed application with documentation.

It takes 1 month to complete development and it takes 1 week to complete documentation. Moreover both employees can start immediately because they both know what needs to be done.

Which is critical path?

If the documentation task slips by one day, the project will not take more time. On the other hand if development slips it will.

From that point of view, development is on a critical path.

It does not matter which task is more important. If you had bright coder that took one week for development and slow writer that took a month to prepare fantastic documentation, the situation would revers and now it would be documentation that is on the critical path and where you will focus as a project manager to deliver it on time.

100% - the ability to visually check the flame is crucial. Especially when you're cooking a lot of things quickly at different temperatures. Without that visual cue, you're just guessing every time. Induction is amazing, but harder to work with. There might be a good idea in making stoves that visually show the temperature of what's in the pot versus how much heat is being fed into it. That would maybe convince me to switch off gas.
I mean exactly the sound that is referred to as the "rolling R" or "[r]" in the original article.

The flap is [ɾ].

In any case, as the sister comment says, the point is that in order to learn the rolling r (consciously, as an older person) you have to notice the flap, and repeated flapping can transfer into the rolled r. So, yes, you learn the flap first, but few people start out saying "I wish I could flap my rs," instead they're looking to learn how to roll them.
it's in the article. whether it draws more power to heat a BUC or has a dedicated heater, it's a deicer.
>A semi decent 4 ring induction cooktop can be had for less than £300

You can hear induction if you can hear above 16khz too.
> This just means the "length of a second" wanders around randomly and is thus useless

Why would it? My redefinition just means the length of a second is defined as a given number of cycles of caesium in a gravitational field equivalent to that of Greenwich.

If you're in a different gravitational field, you'll just have to convert the values easily.
It really depends on the intention you have for sharing your salary. I have friends who want to get into software engineering and they ask me my salary history. Compared to industry standard, my salary is average at best, so it's a pitiful thing to brag about (not that money is ever not a pitiful thing to brag about)

If you're at a party and no one is asking, certainly don't share it. Nothing is worse than being at a party with a guy who constantly says "By the way, I make $500k at Facebook"

If for some reason salary is important to the conversation (for example talking about crypto or investing or just money in general) then sharing it can be appropriate.

But the most important thing imo is that you read the room: if it's likely the people you're talking with make less than you, then probably don't share it, and certainly never complain about money or the price of things. If it's likely they are well off as well, then sure, complain about your mid-six-figure salary
> Literally everyone I know has PTSD as a result of this pandemic.

That seems a bit… extreme? PTSD is pretty serious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_stress_disord...

I know the pandemic is stressful, but to the point of flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, significant avoidance behavior, etc. That’s a pretty tall claim.

Stuff that isn't reactive can be well cleaned using ammonia vapor (which will break down grease and burned on grease and so on). Just put it in a bag or other container with some ammonia (no need to submerge, it's the vapor that does the work) and let it sit for a while.
I disagree. I find all artistry largely a selfish pursuit. Sure, a small percentage of artists touch others' souls, but mostly it's people trying to realize their poorly conceived vision to the ultimate benefit of no one.
