It's hard to generalize about Reddit because each subreddit is kind of its own world. If you want good discussion, go to where the good discussion is. What is terrible about the UX? Are you not using old.reddit.com?

If you're judging by /r/all, sure, it's not much better than YouTube comments. As much as I hate this word, it's mostly "normies" with "normie" views. The cream rarely rises to the top, except on humor threads.

But other than that, I don't think Reddit has changed too much for the worse in the 14 or so years since I've used it. The demographic has gotten more mainstream, and arguably dumber, but that's just a microcosm of the Internet. It's still better on Reddit than many other places.
How does the jive with the need for light weight and the corrosive environment of space?

It's believed that

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

didn't hold up very well.
Why not comments in the code? Open issues in a tracker for things to improve?

Have a look at “literate programming” and available tools for the concept.
Maybe what is different between you and I is that I see the following situation:

1) There were dozens of countries in Latin America that had various levels of disfunction and poor organization

2) One of those countries had to pay a debt to Europe as protection money

3) That one country is by far the poorest in Latin America

It is my baseline that the unique thing about Haiti is the reason it had the worst outcome. This article supposes "No, there were plenty of other problems with Haiti" while ignoring that fact that there were plenty of other problems with nearly every Latin American country.

The author does this by ignoring other historians' views on the matter (see my other comment) and most importantly doesn't propose alternate reasons why Haiti is different vs. other Latin American countries.

Was it the land distribution? Why did Mexico do better in their 1910 campaign then? If not that, then what?

At least the NYT makes a cogent argument.
An academic writes an article saying that a newspaper article is too academic.
Great work! This is inspiring .. great to hear.

What are you thinking next?
It's been like that for years, speaking as someone without an IG account. Nothing new here.
Feel free to use a one-off email account (as long as you have access to it indefinitely, since it ties your devices together). Unlike Figma, Notion, etc we don't ask for anything other than an email.

We tried implementing Apple sign-in but found the experience pretty weak, both for the end user and for us on the business side.

In the future would like to implement some kind of disconnected mode to remove this friction. But email is needed for the sync aspect, which is one of the biggest selling points (and wow moments) of the product.
Perhaps it should... but it isn't. It's perfectly reasonable to believe that it should be this way, but it's irrational to behave as if it /is/ this way, when it isn't.

The reality is that, at least in the US, it is a requirement for nearly everyone to have a mortgage to purchase a house and even for those who can afford to purchase without a mortgage it makes more sense to get one anyway since mortgage interest is usually lower than the rate of returns for other investments you would be keeping the cash in, and you get tax benefits both by not realizing gains to liquidate investments to buy a house and the interest for the mortgage is tax deductible via the mortgage interest credit program.

Acting as if anyone is realistically out here buying houses in cash other than corporate investors / REITs, is silly. Even people on significant tech salaries are both better served and much more probably to have a mortgage even in LCOL areas.
I would recommend the Total War series. Rome II and Medieval II are my favorites. Both are slower RTS games that rely more on strategy than on APS.
I believe you are talking about ff xii with its gambit system. It's sort of a simplified programming tool to program your AI companions behavior without having to directly micromanage them. For example, a companion can be programmed to heal ally if their HP is less than 50% hp, cast specific spell if there 3 enemies or more, attack nearest enemy in that priority order. I wish more games have this system.
I had mostly desktops in mind where there are more widget toolkits to choose from. On mobile it's not so great indeed. Cordova is a mobile equivalent of Electron, but often you can get away with your own native app shell + WebView.
> I acknowledge I'm projecting my experience

It also looks like you didn't read the article. It's a nice one.
In this same vein, I want a modern remake of Escape Velocity with the high quality choose-your-own story arcs, but multiplayer. The graphics could be absolute garbage and I'd still play it daily.
I wonder if there's a list somewhere of "dumb things you need to check when looking into a new car"? Most of these issues are things that are hard to notice ahead of time or during a test drive so it's kind of extra worrying to me.
Can anyone share what is their thought process regarding on deciding what app to build? Say you have a Word document with 15 different ideas, how do you decide which one is worth investing?
> How did your supervisor managed his subordinates so they wound not spend their time in leisure activities?

They are not there to babysit, and many want self motivated people. If you spend your time doing leisure activities, you will either spend too much time getting the PhD, or simply not get it.

Also, in large enough research groups, the advisor delegates almost everything to postdocs. I knew one guy who, every time he met his advisor, would have to answer the question "So what was your thesis topic again?"
Good news - you are describing a game that exists! It's called Overload and is the spiritual successor to the Descent series, written by the original creators of that series.

There is a small but active multiplayer community. (Find it on the community Discord server.)

https://playoverload.com
Yeah at some point it seems like something has to break.

And I should have highlighted more that given the overhang of job openings and secular trends like retirement of baby boomers, that they may not be able to accomplish their goals short of a great depression and substantially tanking the broader economy.
If there is no backend, and also if you are not collecting any personal data, maybe you can add a “privacy friendly, your personal data is not collected” marketing section as well. Although I am not sure if your users would care about that.
i don't see how apple think swiftui can compensate for not being cross platform.

At thid point, unless you really need to reach the absolute top of UX, there is no reason not to go for react native, or flutter.

Knowing that videogames are already developped in cross platform tools, it only leave a very very small market IMHO.

I had hopes that swiftui would be cross-platform ( or at least ios + web, since apple don't want to facilitate android adoption), but i don't think it's going to happen now..
Yesss! I've been looking for something like this for the longest time. Nested thoughts / boards is the way to go!

Will test.

My current stack is something like -

Noteshelf - ipad notes

Clover - mac notes

Bear - phone / personal notes

You can do ipad notes with Clover but I found the UI a little clunky and pencil responsiveness not great.
Is anything in history as simple as "Action A CAUSED Outcome B"?

What caused Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor? Was it wanton imperial ambitions? Or was it the US oil blockade.

What caused US to bomb Hiroshima/Nagasaki? Was it a desire to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of US soldiers? Or was it a desire not to have to split the islands with the Soviets who were lining up to invade, and intimidate them with the new weapon the US developed?

There are always multiple angles to every historical narrative. Noone is purely good or purely evil.

Understand that the NYT isn't writing this in a vacuum. None of the discussions of colonialism are. Discussions of colonialism are responding to DECADES of commonly accepted stereotypes that "Shucks darn, Haiti/Africa are just fundamentally worse at economics, peace and prosperity than the rest of the world. Must be because black people are inherently stupider/more violent/insert other racist justifications". It is only in the last couple of decades that we've openly started to acknowledge that maybe centuries of oppression had something to do with creating the violent/unstable environments we scoff at at the west, AND that the impact didn't end overnight when the colonial powers left - such as in the case of Haiti's ongoing debt repayments to France.

Well done! $500/mo, though not crazy money, is significant.

How did you market your app and how long did it take you to build out the app?

I've built an app as well while I was doing my regular day job and recently quit the day job, mostly due to being burned out working in big tech as well.

During my break from work, I decided to try to get my app sales up, but it's challenging. (During my best month, I think I got up to $200/mo but it's more like $100/mo right now.) As many others before me have found, marketing is the key, and I'm still learning that game. So, $500/mo is really good stuff.

That said, building the app and making my users happy is something that is incredibly gratifying, and something that was missing in my previous 9-5.
You need to allow everyone to do banking via this resource and they should also want to use it as a bank. Otherwise you'll run into a situation where that bank is associated with risky customers and is thus treated based on that reputation.
I ran yt-dlp to download the metadata for the entire SNL youtube channel, which is over 6,000 videos. I loaded the metadata into a database and built a Flask app so I could browse one episode or season at a time in a convenient interface to flag which videos I wanted to download. The show has almost 50 seasons of history so the curation isn't trivial.

After I spent a few hours browsing through the titles and descriptions, I used yt-dlp to download the videos I wanted. It came out to be over 500. I added them to my Plex server, made some playlists, and now I can watch sketches on demand without youtube tracking me, showing me ads, making me go through their app, search/browse interface, etc. And without having to search and skip through full episodes.

I've been an SNL nerd for 30 years and while every episode has a range of good and bad content, what I do find rewatchable from its long history amounts to a pretty big library. I wanted to make it more easily accessible since there's a lot of good content that would otherwise get buried.
Another tip I would give: try to be timely. Especially for college grads/early career, for some companies even when companies are hiring, they might not be hiring all year long (for college grads). The prime college hiring season (summer and fall) is coming up. Waiting until or starting in the winter and spring tends to be tougher.
I can't remember the last time I saw my desktop.
OP has no responsibility to share about their illness. In this case they are perfectly within their right to tell some half truth (wanted to spend time with my family, study x subject, burnout etc) and your company might be in some legal hot water if you fired OP in response to finding out they were ill during that time..

Frankly I think it's unethical, and shows a lack of empathy, to punish someone for hiding an illness from an employer.
I’m not avoiding thay at all. I stated that the SCOTUS ruling is about procedure, the right for competent council, etc.

But what the article implies is that the justices have seen the evidence that a man is innocent and is being put to death, and they just don’t care. And that is simply not true.
A version of the C64 DropZone game on iOS. Tilt to move, tap screen to fire, shake for smart bombs.

Same original graphics.
> This headline is purporting to create a hypocrisy controversy to score political points -- and it may well work, since people will see what they want to see

You don't need this article to evaluate Trump's tone deafness, the fact that he hasn't canceled yet and the fact that he'd probably regurgitate the same rethoric of arming the teachers and janitors ...it's all very telling.
Chrono Trigger Remake
> Life is hard. But we don't have it so bad.

That doesn't mean that there aren't parties that are responsible for much of our current troubles - be it the state of the education/healthcare systems, the state of the housing market, the state of salaries/wages, environmental issues, human rights, as well as the ever growing trend of identity politics and a variety of other issues.

It is also not infeasible that these problems might have actionable solutions and that change for the better would actually be possible with lots of effort. Ergo, accepting things as they are because "it could be worse" isn't a valid stance that would motivate one for whatever actions are necessary to improve the world in whatever capacity possible - be it protests, exercising your rights to vote, or calling out problematic behavior.
I would predict that data localization leads to data traveling shorter distances because most people access their local region rather than everything going to us-east-1.
Portal 3, Witcher 4
I really liked https://mastery.games/flexboxzombies/
Nope. No cloud providers.

My data, my network, my choice how it becomes available to me when I'm away from my home. I don't want cloud in between.
Everybody says it, but the marketing part of it matters a lot. As a shape rotator, I struggle with putting myself out there and really have to force myself to "just do it".

The app store is a big, noisy marketplace, so having other channels to get people to try your app and give you ratings is crucial. That really help me get through the initial wall and now my app is showing up pretty high in the search result.
Surprised no AAA studio has had a shot making a really polished high production multiplayer survival game. Whenever a new one comes out they usually sell a couple million copies within a month with next 0 marketing, from a small company with probably less than like 2 dozen employees.

Both Valheim and V Rising have sold millions off nothing but word of mouth and a hunger for the genre.
I'm apt to be that cynical as well, but if what the original commenter said is true, that provides me with a little hope.

It's so easy to slip through the cracks in the system, so to speak. A sudden medical bill or car problems, for instance. I realized on my drive to work today that my car is the only thing keeping me from poverty. Luckily, I have tools in the back and would probably be able to fix it myself. :) Also, once you're in it, you're in it, and it's a strong cycle. You don't always have the luxury of things we often take for granted like having a nice outfit to wear, reliable transportation to an interview, and finally not even having a mailing address if you even end up getting a job offer.

It's like the places that offer a free shower and "nice" outfit (for an interview) to homeless people. Sometimes all it takes is that little boost to get (to be sure, the right person with the right attitude) someone back on their feet.

I've luckily never been in that situation, but I can empathize and understand how a completely ordinary person could quickly end up there.
There are some assumptions here:

- you made marines

- they are accessible to a-moving banelings without having to go around terrain and/or through tank fire, marauders, mines

It's quite possible to do low-apm styles in SC2, but you have to actually do them, rather than trying to be budget Maru.
Awesome. Congrats!

Did you do anything to promote the app? (other than posting it here and organic searches on the app store)
Thanks for the referral. The trailer sure looks like something I'd be into.
Synthetic fuels produced from atmospheric carbon and cheap solar energy make sense. I'm cautiously optimistic about Prometheus Fuels.

One fear is that there is a cliff somewhere. First it is easy going and then you make what seems to be a small change but it is difficult or impossible to accomplish with the no code tool.

That's the fear that you have to relieve.
I think what really is needed is for these displays and interfaces to be replaceable like old car stereo decks.
Most important part, IMHO:

> Barraza's filing also said Tesla's arbitration provision is unfair because it has a carve-out that lets Tesla sue employees for "intellectual property, confidentiality, and anti-competition claims." Multiple courts "have held that a one-sided carve-out from arbitration for the employer's claims, as in Tesla's arbitration provision here, is unconscionable," the filing said.

> Kaus agreed, finding that "Tesla has reserved its right to go to court for the claims it is likely to have and has relegated Barraza to arbitration for her likely claims," and that "the agreement is substantively unconscionable for lack of mutuality."
Lol go back to men having lower standards? The strip clubs are as good as ever

Oof, this just reminds me of the whole PRISM thing [0] where NSA was tapping inter-DC fiber links and Google wasn't encrypting (some of) the traffic between DCs

Not sure if it's ever feasible to replace Android (it's going to take at least a decade even assuming that Google becomes serious) but I think ChromeOS seems a reasonable target. It's not going to be as spectacular as Android but a decently successful migration if done properly. At that moment, I guess people can make more serious investments into Fuchsia.
Not expressing an opinion on the topic in either direction but I don't really see a reason the argument for reparations would require slavery to be a more economically productive mode of labor vs it simply factually being the mode of labor used at the time.

The argument for reparations is they are owed because the value of the slaves' economic productivity was stolen from them (and thus also their descendants), its not at all dependent on slavery producing a higher economic output compared to a hypothetical situation in which slaves received fair compensation.

Sorta similar to how wage theft is illegal because its stealing earned economic value not because doing so increases productivity.
I want a perfect simulation of our world - that then gets a zombie infection.

I want my street, my house, and general geography to matter in the game. Where is the hardware store? Army bases? Water?

The game starts with a limited infection, making police response to your murdering an infected neighbor problematic. The simulation models how agents would respond.

You win by killing all the zombies, whether that's year 1 or 10. If needed, that's 7 billion.

The exhaust could be a good city simulator, zombies off, which you sell to local governments.
There was a thread the other day about how every community is bound to lose its identity once it gets big enough, and it likely can be applied to this. Once Reddit caught the attention of the advertising world to the point where people with high karma were being asked to sell their accounts, the entire platform devolved into people reposting each other's content to farm karma.

In the last couple of months people have even been spotting "organized bot groups" that not only repost old popular content, but also immediately populate said reposts with the popular comments of the previous thread.
Precisely. How do you keep crazy people from having guns when the only suitable definition of crazy is somebody that has done something terrible (which obviously is too late).
Yay Flutter!

Any reason you had to use ReactJS embedded in Flutter, I imagine you could of done that with Dart
I am the believer of simple statement - if you don't control physical servers then your data is not secured, no matter what you do to secure it. Once vault is unlocked and you don't control physical hardware your game is over.
Factorio style component logicstics mixed with Kerbal Space Program style micromanagement of functional designs would be a blast.

Make me design an assembler for assembling my own robot arms, then strap them to a cart (that I assembled in a different factory), put an AI into it, and use it as a logistics robot for building more things...
We should get to a point where tracking requires users to install an app or a browser extension, I’m thinking of something similar to the ads toolbars of the 90s.

I shouldn’t have to tell people I don’t want to be spied, nor I should have to install privacy extensions and PiHoles and whatever.
I'm with you. T1 discfusor sniping+skiing was deeply satisfying.
Great list. Bear is an inspiration for us in particular.

And yeah nested boards[1] and a zooming UI (ala Jef Raskin[2]) is one of the big elements that makes Muse different.

How to migrate your user data from Google Firebase
These need not be the only two options. App developers could charge money for updates made i.e. new versions while the old versions keep working as advertised.

Instead of "cloud storage" which might incur ongoing charges, apps can very well hook onto my GDrive/OneDrive to persist data. Also, games have done this "free updates to this app I paid" for years now.
To be clear (though I think this is obvious), this site does not seem very representative of the views and general perspective of North American Muslims.

Also, this article doesn't even seem to link to the actual discussion! It's just an opportunity for the site to opine on Jordan Peterson. And it makes dubious factual claims in the course of doing so, such as: "Of course, in order to be fair, we will have to highlight the positives first: Jordan Peterson was a relatively obscure psychology professor at the University of Toronto when, in 2016, he began his crusade against the Canadian government’s 'Bill C-16'". Umm, I'm pretty sure Peterson had some degree of prominence prior to that, no?

As to the general quality of the site, a perusal of the articles...is unimpressive, even where I agree with the author(s). The general vibe strikes me adolescent and "Muslim edgelordy" almost. Like, the whole tone is adolescent, sneering, and disrespectful towards almost everyone else--Muslims of a more liberal bent; in some places even more traditional Muslim scholars, when they don't agree with the author(s) about every damn thing; other religions. You name it. Only Muslim Skeptic is (are?[0]) correct. There are just too many problems with many of the articles to even enumerate them here, like holy shit. One of them purports to convey a "Muslim perspective" on Elon Musk's proposed takeover of Twitter. There is no "Muslim perspective" on that matter. The concept is nonsense. Their recent abortion article makes no actual reference to Islam's internally diverse discourse on the matter, which discourse is obviously much more balanced, reasoned, and thoughtful than anything written on this pseudo-intellectual, sometimes hate-filled site.

Real disappointment of a site, given that I think Muslim intellectual discourse is lacking, and the authors may have been capable of contributing to it, if they weren't so damn immature and mean-spirited.

Oh turns out they are anti-vax too: https://muslimskeptic.com/2021/12/09/on-the-vaccine-religion...

Yet another blight on our religious community. We are supposed to be a pro-science, pro-medicine religion, and this is disgusting. Luckily, as mentioned, the site doesn't represent the general sentiment among Muslims in the West. I am happy for the authors to continue to feel isolated and angry.

[0] They are very non-transparent about who many of the authors are, which hardly lends them any credibility. See, e.g., the author of this article: https://muslimskeptic.com/author/bheria/
Sure.

One thing to keep in mind is that there are lots of nuances being lost in what i write - they are just generalizations
