> why the Rollercoaster Tycoon creator would write 99% of the game in it

Not sure how true it is, but I heard that keeping track of a lot of objects required plenty of optimization, and apparently such levels of detail may have not been in games before. RCT was the second Tycoon game by Chris Sawyer, after Transport Tycoon from 1994—which is also in assembly and which keeps track of buses and trucks each with its own parameters, trains with each car, signals on the roads; of every passenger and every batch of goods: where it's from, how long it's on the way, etc. (At least if OpenTTD recreates the mechanics faithfully.) You can also pop up several windows with views to different parts of the map or following various vehicles.
DC vs. Heller settled the meaning of the term in regards to Constitutional law. There's also a long history of "well-regulated" meaning well-equipped, in proper working order, etc. in English going back hundreds of years.

There are other writings by the Founding Fathers from the time of the ratification of the US Constitution reiterating the need of a right for people to own arms in case it's necessary to overthrow the government, specifically including the government they had just created.
It doesn't even have to be partisan. Donald Trump could just like fraud.

For example, consider the non-university Trump University, which was shut down and which Trump paid $25m to settle the lawsuits over: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University

He in fact has a long history of stiffing contractors, mistreating workers, tax fraud, and other dodgy dealings: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/donald-...

Given that, it seems almost reasonable that he'd appoint business regulators who were ok with pretty much anything. It would be of a piece with his eagerness to make overseas bribery easier: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/business/economy/trump-br...
The github sync functionality of this app excited me, because my current workflow is:
1. Open MGit and pull changes from origin main
2. Open Markor and make changes
3. Switch back to MGit and commit and push changes

Unfortunately this app doesn't hold a candle to Markor when it comes to editing and navigating.
- Navigating links between files is a pro feature
- There is no markdown syntax highlighting while editing
- There is no way to favorite or bookmark files to easily navigate to them

As someone who uses GitHub and Markdown as a personal wiki this app doesn't have the features required to be usable for me.

Looks like MGit will continue to be an unfortunate part of my life.

Also I just have to call out separately,

> Whenever there is an argument between two sides, find the third side

That is not an argument. That is a value statement. If someone says the sky is blue and someone says its tie die, should I find a third person whose of the opinion that the sky is mauve? Being different doesn't make an argument correct

It's not so much that high-value problems have a long tail to chase down.

All problems are like that; the difference for high-value problems is that working on the tail is worth doing, because the problem is high-value.
That doesn't make much sense. It's a single space ship that maybe has the same warhead payload capacity as a couple standard MIRV ballistic missiles. Any target the US is going to nuke in a first strike won't be destroyed enough to effectively prevent a counter strike, or all out nuclear war.

It's probably something NRO related.
I bike to work almost every day on a conventional bike. I wish more people would bike, but I don't think the high price of e-bikes is really a factor. For commuting on bike to work you need a really good network of bike trails since people don't feel safe on roads. Often trails don't go where you need to go. And even on an e-bike the trip takes longer than a car ride. And a bike greatly limits your flexibility to do things like go out for lunch, or run errands after work, or pick up groceries. The inconvenience of it is hard to overcome.

That isn't what I mean. Many, many people have very poor writing despite having done it for many years and having studied it in school. My writing has always been good relative to my peers, and I haven't particularly tried to improve it.
That's not really how they're meant to be used. Want multiple keys? Register multiple devices. Copying the same key around willy nilly just means you can't revoke access selectively. Not being able to export keys and mishandle them is kind of a design goal rather than a limitation.

As a Turk with very little interest to History, would like to share my guesses about viewpoints of these characters have.

First of all I am very impressed about how modern the ambassador is for 192X. He is Liberal exactly like someone from USA would be today.

Now! Liberalism is not a idea that is easily accessible back then. Let alone find a any group of people that will backup you in this way. Even in current Turkey's politics: only 2-3 parties are viable in election and they are all about deciding whether country should go Muslim-National (Auth-Right but Muslim Traders Only) or National-National (Auth-Left)

Considering that Ottoman Empire was multi-cultural gaint and considering that literacy of people of Ottoman Empire were about low as %10. People from same culture/race/religion lived near together and even tho there have been problems here and there, they were probably doing fine like humanity of today.

But when once-in-a-life-time event occurs and you find yourself survived a war but your old government is colepsed; and the New authority (politicly) doesn't look anything different from a group of revolters/rioters from at your standpoint. Who can you trust in the middle of all this chaos other than people of your race/culture/religion.

Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, Muslims Cults/Sheiks, Old Ottoman Government's supporters, all rioted and tried to overthrown the new authority of TBMM (team Ataturk/Republic) within very near time spans.

At that point it must have been normal to react to these 'issues' with this much aggression.

Calling it 'Ptsd of an authority' would sum it maybe.

Still the whole event is presumably a overkill/genocide when we take a look at from the current perspective.

James Joyce flexed on clarity as a literary feat.

The exception proves the rule.
"Most" people don't know _anything_ about history or the historical record of how groups of people found themselves where they are today.

It's not that it's politically incorrect. "Most" people just don't care, except of course when they can use it to get internet points.

The fact that Arabs occupy their current geographic distribution through conquest and migration is not some hidden knowledge or politically incorrect fact. Anyone who has access to wiki can know about it. I've never met anyone who wanted to die upon that hill.

If you spend everything you earn then you will be living paycheck to paycheck. No matter how much you earn. If instead you take 10% of your monthly after tax pay and invest then you won’t. Millionaires have gone bankrupt because they didn’t have the financial education/understanding needed to handle money. And in contrast, people who are not millionaires have build investment portfolios over many years that have given them financial independence. It’s all about financial intelligent/skills/literacy not about how much you earn.
Apropos to respond with this:

> Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn’t practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society? In this probing and intrepid volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Today this dogma is recognizable as much by its effects, such as cancel culture and social-media dogpiles, as by its tenets, which are all too often embraced as axiomatic in mainstream media: knowledge is a social construct; science and reason are tools of oppression; all human interactions are sites of oppressive power play; and language is dangerous. As Pluckrose and Lindsay warn, the unchecked proliferation of these anti-Enlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself. While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency of those who think a just society has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how this often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalized communities it claims to champion. They also detail its alarmingly inconsistent and illiberal ethics. Only through a proper understanding of the evolution of these ideas, they conclude, can those who value science, reason, and consistently liberal ethics successfully challenge this harmful and authoritarian orthodoxy—in the academy, in culture, and beyond.
That’s not realistic. People don’t “just snap.”

In any case, your hypothetical model citizen wouldn’t be bothered by background checks and waiting periods, so there’s no harm in restrictions that prevent crimes that would be stopped by a mandatory cooling off period.

Scam calls are also quite prolific, and the executives at big mobile companies are aware of this fact, that doesn't make them criminals.

By your logic, virtually every single business owner on the planet would be guilty of whatever you're accusing the Walmart execs of. Cars, computers, paper, pens, phones, wire, etc etc etc. There are very few popular products or services that don't facilitate criminal/antisocial behavior in some capacity.

This problem is largely solved via flatpak. The link can download a small config file that tells your software installer gui where to grab the package. It then installs and updates like you’d expect any app.

Software does need to stop linking to these tar files.
So many of the issues discussed in the article are apparent in a more traditional ‘brick-and-mortar’ setting; they’re not unique to a start up. Sure, a start up taking advantage of a lack of standards or meaningful oversight by boards of nursing (and no oversight by medical boards) is bad, but they’re extraordinarily late to that particular party.

NPs having autonomy to diagnose or start and stop medications is ridiculous, even if under ‘supervision’, and even if there were educational standards that not only existed but were actually enforced.
Some people want an autocrat, they wanted it to succeed. Some people are still experiencing cognitive dissonance, can't admit they've been conned yet again by Republicans into voting against all of their interests.
I used to talk quite a lot during my early days and was active till around 10-ish years ago. My first disastrous talk/demo was at Hyatt Hotel in Detroit. Disaster but made lots of friends, and got a smooth not-much-hassle process of B1/B2 VISA to USA. My answer, "I'm invited to talk at a BIG conference in USA." was a nice one to the officer's questions, "Why do you want to visit the USA?"

I usually publish or schedule a blog post a day prior to my talks, complete with source files, and details. People find that to be a good way to just write down the blog post or my website, go back home, and look it up.

Thank you for explaining why the Linux Desktop is a giant usability failure and how 'defining' Linux support is an impossibility.

Rather than be able to support ONE operating system 100% of the time like what you get with Windows and macOS, Desktop Linux support is an unnecessary M * N support matrix of distros, packages and desktop environments and you always end up having to select a chosen few; meaning you always anger a bunch of Linux users using exotic distros (even though they run Desktop 'Linux').

Linux packaging is beyond a dreadful disaster of in-fighting and a malestrom of frustration and confusion for the user who dares to bother. Majority of the software on Linux is still shockingly distributed via ridiculous .tar.bz2 files or requires opening a terminal to ./ execute it, if not then it is either the alternatives of AppImage, Snap, FlatPak, etc, etc which don't work on all systems out of the box. They are still solutions looking for a problem.

With Windows, and macOS packaging for them is already built into the OS and works consistently and natively as expected. A problem long solved by them but on Desktop Linux it is still an issue for a quarter of a century.

The problem is deb files don’t work on all distros and browsers tend to hide the specific distro from the user agent for privacy.

Never link to a deb or rpm as the primary “download”. It should be a flatpak or app image and then an advanced options section for distro specific packages.

There's no argument about Swift. It's a no-brainer decision to go with Swift at this point. SwiftUI however is a different story. You still hit walls hard with SwiftUI, regularly coming up against things that are either impossible or require ridiculous hacks or workarounds. But I am hopeful that SwiftUI will continue to improve. It has great potential. Apple's statement here is direction-setting – that's the path where they want to direct future development.
The CDC does not agree with you, because you are grossly misrepresenting what they said [1].

When they cited a number they gave a range: 60,000 to 2.5 million. Quite the uncertainty there. They've since replaced the wording on that page entirely, because the CDC doesn't actually know: the CDC is effectively prohibited from investigating gun violence [2]

That's whataboutism, not a direct contradiction.

I didn't write the original post, so my comment is geared towards addressing that, rather than expositing my own views. In a similar way, your post is geared towards criticising mine, rather than justifying your own engagement - that's perfectly normal.

But, since you asked, I hold others accountable in the same way you do now. It is because I recognised behaviour I do jot agree with and I want the person to engage with the criticisms I have made and (hopefully) change their mind.

Framed this way, it is a constructive activity, not some tribunal activity as you describe. Again, if you cannot disagree with someone, you are very limited in how you can engage with them.

There is a ton more risk to be founder than an early startup employee. A ton more benefits too, but the costs real. For one thing, if you are pre-funding, then you need to go acquire that funding without being paid in the interim. If you can afford that risk, then it might be good option.
Because Republicans refuse to fund or empower any law enforcement agency to enforce the law or study how well they're enforcing it and the impacts of it, at least at the federal level.

I understand the part about losing control/reptilian brain kicking in, but I still don't know how I should behave when that happens. Like if in a restaurant, do I take kid outside? What if kid is demanding to go outside, and I take him outside, is that reinforcing that tantrums works?

I have read a lot of book on child psychology and still never really sure how to handle tantrums and discipline aspects.
Quick question probably not super related: do you know if something similar exists for floor tiles? I live in US and recently bought a house that has tiles from Italy, they look old but I love them and I would like to see if I can find them online(I already tried Lowes and similar).
It’s only a trivial insight if you agree. Most people don’t. I have worked with many developers who believe that whatever they value is obviously the right values and everybody else just don’t get it. Every time a developer claims they have made a “rational” choice you know you are seeing one of them in their natural inhabitant.
Both macOS and windows made the choice to make programs mostly self contained things that can be just dragged in.

Linux distros have a complex network of dependancies, config files, and general crap that requires sophisticated tooling to manage which is different on different distros. All to save a few kb of storage space.

He doesn't have the ego though.
The problem is much complex than that. Coming up regulations and policies for the whole country isn't as simple and easy as it look.

It's just like dealing with many differnt large codebases that has multiple language, is managed by multiple different departments and teams.

The same thing happened in Big Tech. Bugs are usually not fixed until they become a critical issue, not because they can't be, the solution is either too simple and not worth it (allocating resource to it become negative return because it's not aligned with the companies goal or KPI, so any second you spent on it, is like you're doing it in your free time, no one in the company will appreciate the effort) OR it's too complicated and there's no easy way out without some party compromising.

In the end, a bug or something that could actually improve UX, is simply dismissed because how you felt is less important than the data and figures.
> out of state resident except for lawful sporting purposes

Temporary use for lawful sporting purposes. I've taken that to mean I can let my out-of-state buddy try my rifle while we're at the range, or use it while on a hunting trip together. I would be pretty careful about lending out a gun to an out-of-state resident without being present the whole time they are using it, otherwise I'd be afraid of getting into a legal battle about whether it was temporary use.

I just bought a rifle in Nevada a couple weeks ago. It took multiple days to run the check.

I've been hearing these sorts of complaints since I started working. Bob leaves, immediately people need to rewrite Bob's code because it sucks. The truth is often that the other person doesn't fully understand it. Writing code is easy, reading code is hard.

There is almost always a way to work around something. "Architecturally sound" is in the eyes of the beholder, and unless you're building the next Google, a sub-optimal solution may be perfectly fine. That's what we're paid the big bucks for: to develop a solution, one that works "good enough", without having to constantly rewrite... sorry, "refactor"... the entire project.

This isn't always the case though. Sometimes the code really does suck!
> The "covid camps" were illegal border crossing camps.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights says "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country." Australia was violating human rights every time they made it illegal for one of their citizens to enter the country. Don't lump these "illegal border crossing"s in with foreigners trying to illegally immigrate.
The AG said they were releasing the data for "increased transparency", so it seems like pretty clear retaliation for the recent CCW Supreme Court decision
