I loved Control, I played it knowing nothing about it. I wasn't even sure if it was first or third person. Didn't know if it was a shooter or anything.

It's one of those games I wish I could forget and play all over again from the start, anew.
> I will never suggest someone to bother learning it as an adult

I disagree. It's not dangerous, and anyone in good health can learn it. You just need to learn at your pace and take an instructor. Conditions and gear are also very important, it can make all the difference between a great time and an horrible experience.

I think not living near mountains makes it harder because you usually can't pick the days with the best conditions, and you try to cram as much practice as you can, which is often over-ambitious and lead to injuries.

From residential Comcast/Xfinity cable in Portland, Oregon, GitHub itself is working, but GitHub Pages sites (e.g. https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/ ) are showing an angry unicorn error message (503). The same sites work fine from any Tor exit node I've tried so far.
I'm in my early 30ties. I started snowboarding few years ago and immediately found it a bliss for my mental health. My job is now fully remote so I moved to Austria for winter season. I hit the mountain up to 6 days a week. AMA.
I pretty much agree. Except if I stop doing it, it could get worse. I need to support my family.
At someone point in the last two years I stopped watching the news, because it was just an endless stream of useless information about COVID. I’m not sure I felt better, but it certainly saves some time.

Point 3 is spot on, most of the commentators have no idea about what going to happen. At best their guesses a marginally better than my own. Once you realise this, watching debates between journalist and political commentators becomes pointless. I simply don’t see the point in some expert trying guess when Russia will attack Ukraine for instance. Tell me when they attack. Just report whats happening, not what might happen, because your going to get it wrong.
I just moved into this place with large unused voids on the second floor. I suppose they're attic spaces by definition, but there's also a third floor called an attic. An electrician had to break open the walls to run wire in them, and I've kept then unsealed as I'm thinking of creating false walls for ultra-secret storage area. One of the voids is tall enough to stand in. However I'm not sure if the floor is load bearing or not. Coincidentally I had just watched Parasite before discovering the spaces. That did not help the new place jitters I tend to get.
Confused. If the income is universal (the 'U' in UBI) then what possible hack is there? That's the entire point really. Its why you can get rid of the bureaucracy, since there are no rules to exploit.
All of the above, plus labour costs for building, lack of infrastructure, and most importantly, lack of an economy.

Even if someone can survive the isolation living in the north requires (and the $7 heads of lettuce) there often isn't many options for earning an income.

Nice! Is there only a kanban style view, or is there a way to get a list view as well?
A lot of things that are commonplace in software are curiously absent in other areas.

How about just upgradable versions? Say an author puts out a novel, and then over the next year, does some further edits, better character development, whatever. Why not put out a version 2 of the novel?

Same question with music. Especially now, with so much music worked on in software rather than recorded to tape, it would be easy to spin out a version 2 of a single or an album.

We do see this in some other areas; textbooks, for example, routinely have multiple editions with various updates.

It seems really odd to me that we don't make updates to all sorts of media.

But then, lots of folks were perturbed at the updates to the original Star Wars movies...

It is not strictly necessary to complete no. The whole thing with the Pale frankly distracts for the main theme of the game. I find it of little interest as an allegorical device and the explanation dolled on you about it in the church makes me think it’s not even intended to be allegorical. I think it’s a distraction which contrary to the rest of the settings doesn’t really serve the story.
Full-scale might not happen, but it absolutely does not mean any kind of peace. There is no interest for russia to stop daily shelling and keep capturing in small pieces. Russia has zero interest to stabilize the situation they walked away from all the agreements and negotiations.
Ukraine never had the control of those nukes.

“Until then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile, of which Ukraine had physical, but not operational, control. Russia alone controlled the codes needed to operate. Their use was dependent on Russian-controlled electronic Permissive Action Links and the Russian command and control system”

I am new to Go and programming in general and have found John's work to be instrumental to my educational journey. I highly recommend everything he has produced.

Perhaps the most underrated resource, his Youtube channel is full of educational gems like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSgIEDMekSg

Please keep up the good work John!
Oh right, I never knew he was involved in things prior NeWS
More jobs involve a lot more of that sort of thing than you're crediting I think. A lot of our research projects involve collaborating with regional teams around the world and other marketing groups on budgets, research content, etc. There's the outside firm that's actually doing the survey to be managed. And probably a bunch of other things that I'm not directly involved with. Sometimes you have dedicated program managers for certain tasks at a large company but a lot of people spend a lot of their time essentially collaborating with other people.

This term, reverse racism, has always confused me. What would then racism and reverse racism be defined in Japan a predominant Japanese society?
> What should I be instead, a Democrat?

I never suggested that. There are plenty of people walking around who are unaffiliated or support 3rd parties. Not being a "Republican" doesn't make you a "Democrat".

They are not just "two members of the party", they are last two heads of the party in your state. When Republicans stopped doing things I agreed with, I stopped calling myself a Republican.
You do realize the rule of 70 is used to approximate continuous compounding not periodic compounding right?
After years and years of using Cordova and struggling with it (native code being akin to dark magic) I used capacitor on a project a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I've written a good bit of native code (iOS and Android, swift/java) and it's been a breeze. Also the shift to commit your iOS/Android projects saves a ton of headaches vs something like Cordova that regenerates that for things like CI builds.
Good result for Pragg for sure.

According to their ELOs, and accounting for the fact that Pragg was playing black, this would be predicted to be a 4% occurrence (~30% odds of draw). So, yes, unexpected, but not exactly stunning given that this is one game out of 240 in the round-robin prelims of the tournament.

Another factor is that Carlsen had Covid is still suffering the effects--in fact he has already lost to another player with a rating lower that Pragg's (Hansen) as well as a 20 year old (Esipenko).
My father tells me - "Why do you care what Andrew Cuomo is doing in New York city?" and it kind of was eye-opening. I really don't. I wish I paid more attention to local news, local politics, and perhaps check-in on international news on a weekly basis. The internet changed all this. When I was growing up, my dad read local newspaper daily. National and international news were briefly covered in the local paper. He'd delve into the Economist and the sunday edition to catch up with the rest. This is almost unheard of today.

I buy that it might be A Thing but have a strong suspicion that 90+% of modern "night people" are just addicted to the 24/7 casino-bright circus that is modern home entertainment and nighttime lighting (as most of us are) and would stop being "night people" if you took that away.
Penalty doesn't have to mean imprisonment. It could mean a big fine or a lengthy community service judgement. Whatever it is, it should benefit the general population at the cost of the individual who was reckless or aggressively selfish.

I didn't know Giuseppe Penone; his work is intriguing. I love that he is looking for analogies between human bodies and the "bodies" of trees.

I hear you about generative art. There's something dead about most of it. But I find it worth the effort to investigate if it can be more.

DendroRithms is based on a series of hand-drawn pieces in Japanese ink I made a few years back. I created the algorithm using the same methodology I used to create that piece. With this project, I'm researching what the blockchain can be as a medium for art. And generative art lends itself well for that purpose.

Most NFTs are no more than a certificate of authenticity linking to a file somewhere. DendroRithms is different in that it lives on the blockchain. It will be there for as long as the blockchain stays alive, independent of external hosting services.

It's also a living art installation in that participants (buyers) shape the evolution of the project. We don't know the result until the project ends.
One of the participants illustrated the tree-like evolution very well:

I never said Putin had a right to do it, I'm saying he already did it. Of course it was a totally illegal invasion, but it's done now. What I'm saying is we believe this is the end of the conflict. The official position of the President of Ukraine is that we do not believe a full scale invasion will happen, as do most Ukrainians I know.
I rarely follow the story in games. It's unfortunate but they are rarely presented in a medium that I care about. More so it always feels like the story and the gameplay are two entirely separate things. My character gets body snatched for a cut screen that in has them doing something totally different that I view my character. It's annoying because I know there are good stories in games... They just never connect.
The entire book falls apart because of two facts, both of which are in the book itself!

"Hands down, solar is the only renewable resource capable of matching our current societal energy demand. Not only can it reach 18 TW, it can exceed the mark by orders of magnitude." (Section 13.9)

"We would likely not be discussing a finite planet or limits to growth or climate change if only one million humans inhabited the planet, even living at United States standards. We would perceive no meaningful limit to natural resources and ecosystem services." (Section 3.5) An energy source that is thousands of times more abundant than fossil fuels is basically equivalent to having one one thousandth the population.

While I must acknowledge the truth that converting things to run on electricity will be a large engineering and logistical challenge, and that battery production must be scaled up (as well as converting some loads to run where the sun is shining), both of these challenges pale in comparison to the money part of that first quote: "exceed the mark by orders of magnitude." In other words, even if we could only store electricity at an efficiency of 1%, we'd be fine. (In actuality, we ALREADY store electricity at efficiencies over 80 times that.)

Ecosystem services, availability of raw materials, and many other challenges exist as well. However, all of them are meaningless in the face of "we would perceive no meaningful limit to natural resources." Having an energy source that is thousands to millions of times more abundant than the ones we use today lets us substitute energy for basically all of our needs. (Need clean water? Energy + dirty water = clean water. Need more steel? Dirt + energy = steel. Need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere? You can do it, at only the cost of several times the energy you got putting the CO2 into the atmosphere, which is only a few % of the future energy budget from solar. Think of it this way. In the past, we relied on cutting down forests for heat. Putting the forests back would have seemed like an insurmountable task, because our fuel came from the forests. But now that we run on fossil fuels, which are approximately 100x more abundant than forests, putting the forests back is a matter of politics and land usage discussions, not one of practicality.)

In other words, we are the only ones we have to blame if the future is not MUCH wealthier than the past, both per person and also for our total economy.

> They were the Soviet Union's nukes. That organization ceased to exist.

I agree with some of what you say, but "the Soviet Union ceased to exist" is too simplistic. The codes necessary for firing the weapons (without modification) were controlled by military leaders largely in Russia.
We're also the only creatures that have plumbing, water treatment, and access to water without competition or scarcity (with obvious exception). Not really sure what the point is here.

I’m currently leaning in this direction myself. Not necessarily just this, but “big filter ahead” (or lots of small filters).

phones used by humans are far too unreliable for the level of safety you require. What you need are mandatory wireless health monitoring implants and the required installation of transmitters in any building shielded against their frequencies. For optimum safety add a shocker so any unsafe behavior can immediately be reprimanded by the authorities. </snark>

i block DoT and DNS-over-Quic since they use specific ports.

DoH is hard but most devices that i worrie about does not use it yet so i am not doing anything.

If this start becoming a problem either we will need to build a list of DoH server addresses to blacklist and this will be a cat and mouse game. Or you will need a https middlebox to look at what is in there to see if it is DoH and block or not, and that bring a whole lot of other problems.
No, if they process no PII then it does not matter.
Significant regressions in Slack:

* I used to be able to type a message containing "@channel" or "@here" and just hit Enter without looking, and 100% of the time it would be parsed correctly. Now it fails to detect the "@channel" or "@here" often enough that I have to look to see if it failed, then go back and retype that part of the message until it lights up. Once a week or so, I see a message posted by someone else that contains "@channel" in black, and they expected the message to notify everyone but it didn't.

* Recently Slack pushed everyone to switch from usernames to full names with spaces, and eliminated the entire concept of unique usernames. There were many annoying consequences to this, one of which is that when I type "@name", now I have to look to see if it highlighted, or look to interact with the drop-down menu, instead of just typing and knowing it will work.

* Searching also got worse for the same reason. When I type "@name" in the search bar, it NEVER lights up. For 90% of searches this means I can no longer type in a search query and just press Enter. I always have to look through the drop-down menu and either mouse-click or press down-arrow repeatedly to get to the thing I want.
Feel ya.

Even aside from your difficulty in finding people, the whole argument that "well, you can make friends outside of work" is a non-sequitur. It's illogical for two reasons:

1) Outside of work hours is a different topic. My work hours used to be social and enjoyable, and then they became antisocial and not enjoyable. Outside of work remained similar.

2) The knock-on effect of mass WFH is that outside of work hours the city is less busy and there are generally less people in the cafes, bars, at meetup events and so on because the urban agglomeration effect is reduced.

The second one is probably going to get better over time as stuff like border controls are released and it hasn't really caused me any direct issues (I'm just sad that the buzz is gone). The first one isn't - by definition WFH is less social regardless of whether you do something after work or not.
Unhappy populations can be dealt with sufficient application of repression. Or, worst case scenario, genocide--history has shown that the international community is extremely reluctant to do anything about genocide other than moralize after the fact about how wrong it was. I mean, there's already precedent for Russian genocide against Ukrainians...
I suspect (without any data) that laptop use dominates external monitors among the post-2020 WFH crowd.
They were not just sitting down in a stupid place, they were actively trying to work out where to sit so that they could not be seen from above.
In part though that is because you are looking on the micro level. This Republican facing no consequences enables others to act the same, then when it is so widespread that it infects the entire party it becomes acceptable for all of the party. Now they know they can get away with it and the electorate doesnt punish them.

Sounds like you have swallowed their propaganda entirely if you think they are bad but they have convinced you the other guy is worse.

What I'm amazed is how the news directs people's attention and forms agendas.

The Media has so much power to influence what people care about.
I hate my job. I don't know how I got here.

Like many I started out in small scale IT just as desktop computers were becoming a thing. I transitioned from mainframe support to desktop support, from there I worked through several desktop support roles, wishing I was server support but never managing to get there... over time I became a desktop architect, and then infrastructure architect, and now well.... I just don't know.

I have meetings, I write documents. I offer sage advice on best practice. That's it. It's not IT anymore, it's just make-work.

If I knew my middle-career years would be like this, I would have never started in IT in the first place[1].

However... I work 100% remotely, and I LIKE that. I've been a remote worker for a decade now, and I just couldn't go back to commuting or being in an office.

So, I have no idea what to do[2].

I'm not really soliciting for advice (but feel free!), I'm just venting I guess.

I wish this article existed a few years ago when my kid wanted to make a voice deactivated fire alarm. Most solutions require sending the audio data over the internet, which was unreasonable in a school gym. Most other solutions weren't great, and I was really looking for a "wakeword" type solution, rather than true "speech to text". I got it working alright at home, but loud environments triggered the wakeword constantly (so did simply blowing into the mic).

It was good enough to demo, though.
