It's an EasyPrivacy bug? That list is developed with ridiculously cavalier attitude. A few months ago they blocked workers.dev wholesale[1], that is, the entirety of Cloudflare Workers, for some sort of third party request on torrentfreak.com. I was flooded with user reports that day, and several days afterwards thanks to list caching. I was shocked that people who seemingly have no idea of public suffixes are tasked with blocking domains.

The difficulty isn’t particularly high, it’s just high for a mainstream AAA game in the year it was released, and was probably the first time many in the generation of Dark Souls encountered actual challenging gameplay. There are much, much more punishing games out there from the mainstream (Ninja Gaiden and Nioh) to Indie (IWBTG and Super Meat Boy).

I think Dark Souls is celebrated less for its difficulty and more for its beautiful world building.
So do legal teams, anyone that touches or creates IP, accounting, IT staff etc. NDAs suffice and "they have access to information" isn't a reason to use anticompetitive laws against secretaries. If a company is worried about "highly privileged information" leaking because an employee is now answering phones at another company, then they've got some serious security problems that non-competes won't fix.
> We're happy to target anti-competitive behaviour from any operating system or browser if it relates to the open-web. Currently our main focus is user's browser choice

It means you're not really focusing on the open web. You have a very specific, very narrow beef that you're pursuing.

And it's parroting Chrome's propaganda basically word-for-word both on the website and here in the comments.

In Discord, right?

You could start by actually looking around and figuring out these things yourself, too. Not just repeating Google's talking points.

Good starting point: https://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2021/08/breaking_th...

Or maybe look at the status of the APIs you so ardently defend. Example, WebHID timeline: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459#is...

etc.

> It's also really important to be specific as to why the behaviour is harmful to end consumers. We also need to order the issues in terms of priority and how damaging they are to the wider ecosystem.

You've already stated your priorities loud and clear

> and respecting a user's browser choice via Android or Google apps.

Yup, it's s good one. Since Google doesn't respect that and ignores all/most input on the non-standards it's pushing out at neck-breaking speed, you can see where it's going if you "allow browser choice on iOS"
There's nothing really complex about BGP. The management system Facebook uses, as I said, bites back occasionally. AWS does a lot of fancy things, but from the actual networking perspective it's not any different than plugging in cables.

As I said, the crazy complexity is above the network level.

While I broadly agree, particularly because it feels so fuzzy about when it starts interpreting it as raw HTML and when it goes back to markdown... I'm not sure how you can really claim Org is unambiguously better (best!) when Org mode has multiple flavors of almost exactly the same kind of feature. E.g. inline HTML in Org is: https://orgmode.org/manual/Quoting-HTML-tags.html#Quoting-HT...

@@html:<b>@@bold text@@html:</b>@@

Or inline LaTeX, which is arguably much worse than markdown's HTML fuzziness: https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html#LaTeX-fragme...

>To avoid conflicts with currency specifications, single ‘$’ characters are only recognized as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at most two line breaks, is directly attached to the ‘$’ characters with no whitespace in between, and if the closing ‘$’ is followed by whitespace, punctuation or a dash.

If I understand that correctly, it means this is LaTeX:

$a^2
+1
=b$

But this is not:

$a^2
+1
+2
=b$

Similarly, this is apparently an inline chunk of LaTeX: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/39527/which-count...

USA tends to use $123 to show dollar amounts,

Replying to myself: I guess Grand Junction didn't come up with it. Probably Kalpana did? Grand Junction was just the first ethernet switch I heard of.

(Also, ethernet bridges were a thing at the time, and they are basically 2-port switches. But arguably a switch with a bunch of ports was a different way of thinking about how to do an Ethernet network.)
>We measure happiness and various sentiments towards these areas like knowledge transfer, documentation, ci/cd reliability, pr velocity, etc.

I see, so you guys don't measure anything specific that is actionable? Did you face any challenges dealing with non-performers or under-performers dragging the team down?
But that's not what is happening. What's happening is that Thomas Jefferson is now using race as a factor in admissions, resulting in reduced representation of Asians.

To narrow down more surgically on the issue here:

> Many progressives believe in affirmative action, which doesn't say anything about the particulars of the groups that aren't being explicitly included. Nobody at all is interested in exclusion; they are interested in more inclusion.

This is incorrect. Affirmative action is absolutely just as much about exclusion as inclusion. Advantaging one group is the same thing as disadvantaging all other groups. And yes, the mainstream progressive platform is to advantage minorities other than Asians - which is the same thing as disadvantaging Asians.

My company tried to pull this argument when proposing a larger bonus to recruiters for hiring diverse candidates. "Oh it's not disadvantaging any group, it's just being more inclusive towards diverse groups". But it's not. The company phrased is as an extra $250 to ($500 vs $250) to inspire recruiters to be more inclusive towards women and URM. But you could say the normal bonus is $500, but there's a $250 penalty for non-diverse candidates. Advantaging vs disadvantaging, and inclusion vs exclusion. They're all two ends of the same lever.
Swearing is cringe.
I had a similar feeling (though 'cheating' is kinda strong). So I took a dictionary and some letter-frequency stats (also from norvig.com) and computed a three-word opener using the 12 most common consonants and 3 most common vowels: CHAMP GELDS FRONT. (There were more word-sets satisfying the condition; this was the most memorable.)

I guess I'll try this notebook tomorrow and see how it rates my opening.
I have learned so much more about antiques by posting false statements (increasingly knowingly) about things I have found while out thrifting than I have asking for information or help.

If you ask for help, you're usually asking into the void.

If you make an incorrect statement, you get repeatedly bashed with facts and research.

So if I must... I shall.
> Nobody at all is interested in exclusion; they are interested in more inclusion.

In a contingency, the inclusion of a group will result in exclusion in other groups.
I’m also curious, but I think this probably depends on the specific wording of his contract(s). There to my knowledge isn’t an exact standard of what right of first refusal means in practice
Another advantage layers on the source control: many source code management services will render your markdown and give you a search interface. GitHub popularized it. But other hosts like Azure Devops and GitLab support this as well. You can make a relatively pleasant document management system on top of this.

You can even run this on your own computer without an internet connection. Working Copy on iOS supports. Gollum, originally created by Tom Preston-Werner, strives to be compatiable with GitHub's wiki feature [2]. For my part, I've been learning Rust by writing a clone of Gollum called Smeagol [3].

Though really the point of the original article is: all these tool don't matter. Your plain text files can live longer than any of particular tool and continue to be useful.

This is why, IMO, hard mode is bad.

It's in an important sense actually easier! Sure, good play results in more guesses than in not-hard-mode, but that would be like saying a 100m sprint is easier than a 2-mile race because the latter takes longer. The more interesting measure of difficulty is how hard it is play optimally. And since the search space for not-hard-mode is bigger, I'm pretty sure it's harder.

But more importantly, hard mode is also less fun, and this thread demonstrates exactly why: the creative aspect is coming up with le mot juste for quickly honing in on the right answer. Hard mode takes away your tools to do that and sometimes even results in a thoughtless guessing game.
Because 99% of the time understanding the root cause is not interesting or valuable. When you find a bug you won't accidentally discovery the cure for some disease. You'll fix it, and a low impact, intermittent issue that could be mitigated with a restart is now gone.

Thanks for sharing what you know. I believe with a little bit more empathy, you have so much to give to make the world a better place, if you don't mind.

Therefore, including what the parent and the others have already mentioned, I would like to suggest these perspectives:

• maybe not everyone is aware of the ease of setting up ad blocking as you described

• maybe not everyone is on a platform where this is feasible -> you provided an example on Android, which implicitly means it is different or more difficult on other platforms

• maybe someone is using a restricted device provided for work

• maybe experiencing what many others are experiencing is intended. e.g. due to work reasons as creakingstairs suggested, or due to personal fulfillment

• maybe someone values the time spent on writing "a whole post analyzing" the situation more than setting up any modification

• maybe not everyone or no one is exactly Homo economicus [1]

• etc.

There is no "mainstream Progressive (sic) justification" for discriminating against Asians, because there is no progressive political platform built on discriminating against Asians.

Not every game has a speedrunning community, especially not for new games (which my comment was about), and especially not for new early-access games that most new games these days are.

Not to mention optimal play and speedrunning are orthogonal concepts in general.
I recall that there were massive global demonstrations against the Iraq war in particular. I went to a couple of them myself. Everyone could see that this was a war that did not need to happen, that the rationale was BS. But at the executive level, yes, little action; indeed, willing cooperation. The parallels to the current situation are obvious--planners thought that the mission would be easy, that the US would be 'greeted as liberators'. In a conventional military sense, that wasn't entirely wrong. The regular army capitulated quickly, and Saddam was no Zelensky, able to rally people and nations to his side. But the Iraqi people were willing to make things difficult for US forces for years.

> The "difficulty" stems from the game developers anticipating how you will approach situations based on earlier situations, and adding new caveats to the rules.

This assessment seems very strange to me. Their games are hard because you need to be rather competent in their demanding mechanics to progress, and you need to learn every encounter perfectly to get past it. That’s why so many reviewers trashed Sekiro, because they were simply unable to play it.
I disagree with the whole "NEED VISUALS OR GRAPHICS?" section. I do need visuals! I do need graphics! I'm not a typewriter, why must my flow be interrupted with me having to leave my document to open some JPEG file whenever I need to show something that isn't text?

It's not like this is crazy difficult or requires proprietary apps either. Writing a modern browser may be an impossible feat but I'm certain that it would take just a day or two to get a very simple barebones HTML renderer which supports <img> and a couple of formatting options.

At this point I wish we had a tty which supports variable width and size text and inline images and video. Then I could be happy.
You stop blaming their issues on the white boogeyman and instead knuckle down to fix the hard problems that don’t have sexy solutions (e.g. single parent households, poor nutrition, high-crime proximity, lack of access to studying material, etc).
Attack the root of the problem by building better schooling in disadvantaged areas so they increase their chance to be accepted?
But the fact remains that it's a productive language with excellent tooling and fast build times, and a lot of people really like working with it (myself included).

I believe the reason it has gotten as far as it has without generics is because it did always have them -- but only for the built-in data types (slices, maps, channels). You just couldn't add your own until Go 1.18. I have several medium-sized Go projects that benefit hugely from generic slices and maps, but wouldn't benefit at all from user-defined generics.
I will say: I find these games to be extremely fun to watch (and a lot of others do as well, as they consistently get very high views on Twitch and YouTube), but maybe not so much if I wasn't already into playing them as well. I think the viewing experience is greatly improved by having a personal experience of the game itself, and the skill that goes into what you're watching.

This is perhaps similar to watching a fighting game: it's probably hard to enjoy watching somebody play Street Fighter if you haven't actually put hours into it yourself, and understand the depth and nuance of what you're watching.

Yes, there's often speculation that the streamer is playing badly intentionally for this reason. Though Occam's razor dictates that it's more likely that the streamer just doesn't care to get good because they're only going to play the game for a little while anyway.
I think the non competes shouldn't exist. But if they do the length should be shorter than the employment term. It should be nullified if the employee is fired or laid off. And it should only apply to people with higher salaries (dunno, 100k+ it something)

Compared to what? "Dad goes to work at an office 9-5, then has a commute to come home, then focuses on his own hobbies"?

Frankly, this sounds like a lot of focused family time:

"""
At 5:00 I stop, and 5:00 until 10:00 is family time for me. And that is walled off. I don’t work on books, even in the back of my brain. It’s got to be a really steep wall for me to make sure I am there for them. And I have to mentally say, “You are there for them.” When your kids ask you to do something, that’s the time you say, “Yes, I’m going to go do that.”

Avid Dark Souls fan here.

Somebody in another comment said it... but they're not action games. They're puzzle games.

The satisfaction of playing a Souls-like is in trying a challenge over and over again, recognizing the patterns and actions that will get you through it. The game puts a challenge in front of you, and through practice and tenacity you get through it.

It's almost never unfair. Most of the time, if you fail it's because you didn't understand how to win. Seeing yourself do better at the game not just because you've leveled up your character (in fact, even low-level mooks can wreck you up if you lower your guard), but because you have gotten better is one of the most satisfying feelings.

You're not gonna have fun by just watching (though there's plenty of content creators that make Dark Souls fun to watch. YMFAH is my favorite). You also need to be aware that the formula takes practice. If you ever feel like giving it a try, I feel either Bloodborne or Elden Ring would be good games to start.

> FromSoft has always been a step behind from a graphical fidelity level. But they make up for it in art design, which is some of the best in the industry.

I'm not just talking about lack of rendering bells and whistles - I also thought the design itself was tacky, reminiscent of much lower-budget games like Valheim or those mid-2010s f2p Korean MMOs. Admittedly this is subjective.

> For the controls, the game is all about animation timing

OK, knowing that this is an intentional design aspect makes it a lot more reasonable. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but at least understandable.
The challenge of course is abilities matter for society in a huge number of ways - irrespective of personal circumstances.

It sucks that storing files isn't really solved yet. Plain text needs some external means of sync. SyncThing is finally getting good again with new Android 11 features, but for a while it was limited to internal storage.

And there is, unfortunately, no SyncThing cloud providers(First person to extend SyncThing with messaging, make it embeddable in other apps, and make a cloud service will have basically a universal backend for FOSS apps and solve a lot of issues).

There also hasn't been good tools to actually work with the text files till recently, because android always seems to be 10 years behind desktop. You were pretty much stuck just using text editors, sans indexed search.

Plain text is wonderful, but the ecosystem to actually take notes with it is just now catching up.
