You are welcome.

My wording of retort may have been a little too strong.

>> I wasn’t being anywhere near as unkind as I think you think I was being,

That's not for you to say. I only said I thought the comment was mildly unkind. Neither of us knows how it might have been taken by the actual object persons though. Nor the lurkers.

My worry is the cooling effect that a large amount of indirect and minor snark could have on sensitive people. Individually ever-so-slightly, yet en masse broadly deterring them from a culture which seems permeated in it.
Such as (to my mind) science.
Here's some of the other similar games that i enjoy:

- OpenTTD: free, open source, has a variety of transport, even crashes, low hardware requirements, but personally the train tiles aren't easy on the eyes
- Transport Fever (1 or 2): lovely games that have really detailed 3D graphics, the UI/UX in TF2 is the best that i've every played with, however the train pathing doesn't appear to be dynamic, only simple signals present
- Mashinky: a mix like the both of the above, developed by a single person, allows switching between an isometric tile based build mode and 3D visualization, currently has a variety of trains and some road vehicles, switches are automatically placed (either chain or regular switches, really nice logic); some might dislike its economy system (some trains need certain resources to run, which you need to get through supply chains, possibly with other trains), but i really like it
- Railway Empire: focuses only on trains, seemingly the older variety too, has a large amounts of maps and interesting city growth mechanics but the UI isn't as good as TF2 and even though it has perhaps the best track building mechanics, managing lines becomes cumbersome when you have many
- Workers & Resources: a city building game with a rather nice transport system, the UI needs work, but it might eventually be up there with Cities: Skylines (at least based on what others say)
- Derail Valley: this one lets you actually be inside of a train and transport cargo, has crashes, simulates engine temperature for electric locomotives, even lets you use steam locomotives as well, really interesting

Now, i can't really talk much about their difficulty or late game experiences, because in OpenTTD i have probably less than ten hours of game time - it's a nice game, but it's not like i have endless free time.

Suggestion: you should be able to pick up most of these on Steam IIRC, so feel free to look them up and wishlist them. I actually got TF1 in a sale for just a few euros a while back.

I'm 39 and I've never drank coffee in my life. As a kid I didn't like what it did to adults ("I cannot work until I have my morning coffee") and from the smell I kinda extrapolated how it tastes like so I didn't need to try it. For me, coffee is like any other drug, it create addictions and should be illegal with all other drugs like alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, opioids etc.
I wonder whether any organic life in a galaxy could survive merger of a pair of 1e9-solar-mass black holes. Would 25,000 light years be far enough out? 5,000? 500 light years is supposed to be the sterilization range of a minor magnetar hiccup, 5 light years for a workaday supernova, IIRC. We will soon find out how much energy is released in such a merger; one is about to happen in a year or three, about a billion light years out. Sadly, we will not have deployed a gravity-wave detector big enough to measure it with, by then, and will have to wait for the next one.

If life sorts more or less neatly into expansionist and sedentary cultures, the sedentary species will generally be much older and, typically, much more technologically advanced than the expansionists that try to encompass them. Aggressive expansionists will tend to be destroyed by the first, second, or anyway tenth sedentary culture they try to strong-arm. So, the galaxy is full of very old, sedentary cultures not interested in visiting us, and young expansionists popping up all the time and being obliterated before they reach us.

> Complaining about people getting help in areas where they face a disproportionate struggle just seems unkind.

Women don't face a disproportionate struggle in tech. They are given more opportunities in tech than men are. There are uncountable scholarships, fellowships, hiring initiatives, mentoring initiatives, and all kinds of programs for women in tech - while there are none for men. There are many positions that are explicitly advertised as for women or for underrepresented minorities only. Companies and universities give preference to hiring and admitting women, even overtly. And finally, multiple studies showed that women are given preference in hiring for STEM positions.

The first step to help men is for us to admit that men are discriminated against, and it is very counterproductive when people pretend that is not the case.
Private companies have a big incentive to share the good news and hide the bad news.

What are the chances these guys have a pile of problems they can't solve with their approach, but rather than trying to approach it from another direction like an engineer would, instead they continue development because collecting more investor cash while the investors are unaware of the showstoppers is good employment.
I get the impression they don't like the CEO very much. That was an impressively brutal attack on him, with probably the worst damage inflicted by the CEO's own statements.

Blackwells is obviously not a neutral party here, there's a reason they created this thing. But on first glance it looks like a pretty solid argument that the management at Peleton is seriously flawed. I don't really buy the arguments on why Peleton is a good business and comparable to Streaming somehow.

I do find the arguments around bad governance structures and oversight weird though, as those should have been known before they invested. Doesn't mean they're wrong, but obviously this didn't stop Blackwells from investing in the first place.

What you're describing is called "mastery learning," and it is a thing. Essentially, you can't progress from one module to the next without a certain minimum score on the current module (that's the "mastery" part). It works well in subjects like math, where there are a lot of dependencies between later and earlier modules.

Something like “crash-only software”; programs are expected to be killed and relaunched. Software should cope with it, as there is no swap space and ideally the user shouldn’t be managing memory. An app may create to some degree the appearance of persistence but it’s not persistence. Users, also, can easily force kill apps. Ongoing background operations like downloads, uploads and some media playback is delegated to the operating system. Such operations continue when your process is killed, and you check up on them when your process starts. I hope it’s not TMI, but the standard library includes atomic file saves.

Powerful good guy can work (see e.g. Singapore); usually the problem is when the powerful good guy retires another powerful guy is the successor, but you dont have any checks and balances to make sure if they are good or not. So after a few transitions you might end up with a powerful bad guy.

As a self-employed contractor, it's quite common for me to negotiate the contract and wait for screening while already working on the project. They still have to pay me for time worked, and if we can't agree, they're screwed as much as I am, because they're already investing in onboarding, and I haven't delivered anything yet.

So there is some room for negotiation, although some things aren't negotiable for them. I've often had a non-compete clause of some sort in my contract, and I've always been able to get its scope reduced, but mever been able to get it dropped entirely. But if you ask up front about it, it's also to their benefit to be honest about it, because hiring you and then having you quit at the last moment because of their lie is not good for them either

The other option is to get the contract signed, or at least seen, before you quit your previous job. If it's a job for which you need to move and dramatically change your life, then you should definitely get some hard commitments from them before you do anything drastic.

That's right - you're not stating a scientific truth, you're just stating falsehoods. It's pretty much enough to look at how any non-trivial X11 client looks like these days to understand the reason for Wayland's existence. Wayland, while not perfect, offers an incredibly clean and extendable design when compared to X11.

Whether the whole ecosystem is already in place to move regular users over is another matter (I'm developing a Wayland compositor at work and even I am still using X11 on my workstation), although with this kind of project I guess you just need to face the chicken-and-egg problem at some point to actually move things forward.

Interesting read! I'm not very familiar with constraints.

> We can set up these first two tables for users and rooms without any constraints

Based on this sentence I wondered what the difference is between a primary key and a constraint. I looked up primary key in the postgres docs, it seems that PRIMARY KEY is also a constraint?

> Adding a foreign key constraint here is a really easy way to tie our reservations table to the other data tables ensuring they are always tied together with primary keys.

This did not make me understand what the foreign key actually does. The first sentence of the pg docs on foreign keys helped a bit: A foreign key constraint specifies that the values in a column (or a group of columns) must match the values appearing in some row of another table.

> You can also create the foreign key constraints after the fact on an existing table via ALTER TABLE like this:

Now I was wondering what happens when you use ALTER TABLE to add a foreign key to a table that already has data. Apparently in mysql it will only succeed if the existing data matches the references data[0], I assume this is the same in postgres.

Finally I'm wondering whether I could join tables automatically using the foreign keys in a select statement instead of typing all the column names, apparently not :(

5. I write my own blender plugins quite often, and they break with my next `git pull`. Blender moves fast and breaks things ;)

I do python professionally and gamedev 3D/VR stuff as a side piece. I spent 5 hours in blender tonight trying to bake an alpha channel. Something I’ve done before.

It’s a nightmare to maintain a blender plugin. Because (as you point out) blender is opensource clay, not a surgical scalpel. OpenSCAD is a precision knife.
It’s because there are 2 conflicting properties here: width and aspect-ratio. The user has set both. So when the content overflows, which one should be nullified? In this case they chose width to be maintained, and aspect ratio to be ignored.

If you want to maintain the aspect-ratio, just remove the explicit width. Then the box will be extremely wide and tall and will move to its own line. Probably not what the developer wants to achieve.

You could say that the default behaviour should be to clip the content, like overflow: hidden does. But in CSS, the content always has priority. And it will be (overflow:) visible by default. But as a user you can still choose to clip it (overflow: hidden), or make it scroll (overflow: scroll).

CSS has all the tools for you to choose the behaviour you want. And I think this aspect-ratio property is going to save me a lot of trouble.

I wonder how much it has to do with sleep. Could it be that people who drinks coffee a lot do that often because they are sleep-deprived?

Also if you drink more than 3 cups of coffee more often than not some of those cups are going to be consumed in the afternoon, which has a much bigger impact on your quality of sleep.

When I was drinking 4 cups of coffee a day I also didn't sleep nearly enough to function through 8 hours of workdays, especially in the afternoon. I have since taken quality of sleep more seriously and the need for coffee falls to about two cups (usually just a double espresso in the morning). It is of course just anecdotal though.

Never sign anything on the spot. Always take it home to study it. If there's clauses you have doubts about, consult with your lawyer. Negotiate everything that's not acceptable to you.

Its literally how it started. They wanted a modern ISA for their course. Then they did a '6 month project' to develop it. That turned out to be RISC-V. Then companies would literally just adopt it and be angry at them doing changes and such.

Neither. Obviously Iran is not an egalitarian society; the idea’s absurd. However, Iran is also not Afghanistan; most people have a broadly secular edification. Iranian men do go to university in quite large numbers.

I think you’re missing the obvious explanation; the gender biases in STEM may be basically arbitrary; go to a very different society and you’d expect them to be different.

We see this in the west, too. From the 40s through 70s, women were far better represented in programming than today in western countries. Part of this was a legacy of the war, but that can’t explain the whole thing. And in the other direction, practically all chemists in the west were men until the 80s or so; this fairly rapidly flipped and now most new chemists are women in many countries (similar tipping point shifts happened earlier for medicine and biology).
Sorry, I tried but it got taken down pretty much immediately. Feel free to reach out to me personally though! I think it's a pity that the excellent workmanship that went into that software is now no longer being recognised, because the legacy devices aren't for sale. They were good tools!
