If it were me, and if there is a graphical component I would use this as my stack. (Note: I am a hobbyist game dev).

- Unity + mirror (multiplayer library) for the server client. The library documentation will help with a mental model of a multiplayer game. Export the binary of whatever your target OS will be. I prefer linux.
- Unity for the game client. I prefer webGL export for the client so I can host the HTML/JS/WASM like a normal static site. However; you can (also) export windows, Mac desktop apps too.
- nginx to host the static site and reverse proxy to the multiplayer
- systemctl units for nginx, and the multiplayer binary on some linux OS. I prefer Ubuntu.

For the code; it's all about developing a mental model of what things exist in your system and what interactions those things have with each other.

It being me, there is a CICD system somewhere running tests for pretty much anything.
Yes they were flouting US gaming laws.

Which law, exactly? Because there are plenty of legal ways to gamble online.

You just have to use an app that works with a legal casino, like MGM, Caesars, or one of the many many competitors, and be physically in a state where it's allowed.
I think this is a great change. I wish NULLS NOT DISTINCT was the default already - if I wanted the constraint to ignore null values I’d have used a partial index to only index non-null values. Doing the opposite is much more difficult.

The Democrats lost an opportunity by addressing only the strawmen. By focusing on deplorables and Russians, they allowed themselves freedom from addressing substantive problems of working class and rural neglect. Which gave Trump an opening he otherwise would not have had.
The post was about these maintenance operations. I have not met a commentator calling their current need not credible. Normally they last similarly to what was stated; in this specific case to take for granted that normal operation will not resume more data is needed if you want to be out of a simple "place your bets" discussion.

Diffidence is a generic scalar, function result of the speaker - ok -, but diffidence over something specific calls for extra consideration, not just immediate dismissal.

Salt Lake City Confronts a Future Without a Lake
This is why I turned off auto updates on my phone. I do update stuff periodically, and sometimes I'm forced (and certainly I do OS updates when there is a security issue), but I don't want my apps randomly changing out from under me overnight. Rarely these days are the "bug fixes and performance improvements" actually an improvement for me as the user. I especially hate it when a developer says something like "we update the app as often as possible to make it better for you!" No, updating it "as often as possible" is not better for me. It might be better for YOU, but it's just annoying to me.
I always live in the fear of accidentally destroying data or tables with SQL.

I wonder how this will affect attitudes towards schooling as an institution in general in the future? These children will grow up and take their places as policymakers, parents and so on - will they value school more, or less?

Perhaps we'll see some large scale restructuring of the school system altogether, which at this point doesn't seem like the worst outcome necessarily, every teacher I've met in my adult life has expressed pretty vocal grievances about almost every administrative aspect of their jobs.
Show HN: Sticky News Headlines Without Photos
I put this together a few weeks ago. It polls for news headlines every hour and the ones that are there again and again rise to the top:

https://wolfschedule.com/news

So if you make it all the way down to the score of "1" those are very fresh, only seen in the last hour and there is no guarantee they will rise.

But some do rise and if they are at the very top they have been seen over and over for the past 24 hours. Max high score is 24.

Similar to legiblenews, there are no photos, just the text to scan. I like the freshness of this system. Every time I want to know "ok so what are the BIG stories" I scan the top score ones and sometimes I make it down to low score ones.
I don’t think those are all that different headlines.

Folks who expect the headline to be extra detailed will always be dissatisfied IMO.

It’s on the individual to read the story. Folks who don’t will misunderstand regardless.

But to be clear I’ve got no problem with your clarification here either.
Russian troll, you got me with that. :)

Dude, Estonia is NATO, so that is a very different story. NATO would definitely have to intervene. Not that I agree with that either, but I guess it is part of some contract.

You are the one who came up with the "borders of USSR" theory, and I agreed in that I couldn't care less if they took over Ukraine or some of the -stans. As long as they leave my country alone, which was not part of the USSR, it is none of my business what wet dreams Putin has. That is where I draw my line in the sand. So no, I didn't "backtrack".

The argument with Iraq is a valid one because what you are saying is essentially that the same rules would not apply to one aggressor (the US) and another one (Russia). So it is you, my friend, who has been consuming too much propaganda, I am afraid.

Entire OS configured with code, which can be modular with imports and functions. Want to run a Postgres server? One-liner in your config. Want to advertise yourself over avahi? Same deal. Need custom udev rules? One-liner again.

I literally cannot bork my machine. I can always roll back. Useful when messing with low-level stuff like drivers.

I have full control and understanding of updates and the exact versions of all the programs I run. I can always read the source of any program I'm running by looking in the nix store.

Super easy to package new programs and contribute to nixpkgs.

Super easy to tweak packaging other provided without forking via overlays.

I share config across devices in a git repo, so provisioning a new machine is trivial. I got a desktop and I basically imported a bunch of common config along with like 10 lines of config specific to the desktop.

Well, I mean, "reading something else" has been what I've opted to do thus far, hence why I've only gotten about 30 pages in, but I've found that sometimes when I force myself to actually one of these "certified classics" I end up feeling glad I did. That's how I felt about Crime and Punishment, for example.

it was explained to me that if I worked there I would never be able to travel to the US

Sounds like they were just trying to make themselves sound like super-cool rebels, because there are plenty of very legal online gambling options in the United States.

It's not available nation-wide. You have to be physically located in a state that permits online gambling, and use a service that is aligned with a legal casino. But it's a billion-dollar legal industry in the United States.

Usually when you grow mushrooms you do it in two steps. First you grow out the mycelium on a growth medium such as grains, then you spread out the mycelium and cover it with some casing material, say peat moss, and fruit it under different environmental conditions. A typical mushroom lab has two areas built out (say with plastic sheets) to maintain the conditions for these two phases.

Looks like their machine creates conditions to fruit mycelium blocks that they send to you in the mail.

It's a big plus that it works with mycelium blocks you make yourself.

Tangential but have been buying appliances for the first time and have been deep in research of what to do with a small-moderate budget.

I had indeed heard the same about Samsung, and more generally designed service lives < 7 years across brands with better reputations.

I elected to buy all used but (good condition) late-model Miele appliances. They’re rated at 20+ years, they focus on reliability and repairability, and if you’re patient you can get them for less than even the cheapest Samsung etc models, especially when taxes are taken into account.

Not to mention they’re the best quality appliances money can buy. I definitely don’t need a paella mode on my dishwasher, but it makes me smile every time (and remember I paid $200 for it)

It does, and I think that's a reasonable argument & comparison, but it isn't the same as the one you were making initially, which is all I'm pointing out.
But isn't the idea to be alone and have no important thoughts in itself is good?

For example, you have this huge complex problem that you cannot solve, then don't think about it and relax for one day and then all of a sudden you get an easy solution without even thinking hard about it. Happened to me quite some times.
back then working with Seagate drives was a trauma in itself. In 2008/2009, I've setup more than 3000 1 TB Barracuda ES drives; 1800 of them failed in the following 3 years (they came with a 5 years warranty). I stopped keeping track of Barracuda failures at some point.

Unsurprisingly, 14 years later I still wouldn't recommend Seagate drives to anyone.

It's also wrong. Lists are monads, and whether the implementation you use is mutable or not is not relevant to how you use them.

The essence of monads is not about what use can be made of them either, just like the essence of things that have a hook is not that you can use them to hang your coat.

Simply put, monads are data types that share a set of properties. Think of them as you would think of the atoms that are halogens, or of the animals that are mammal. In the case of monads, the property is that functions can be chained on them in a specific way, and that the result of this chaining respects some rules.

The reason it is so hard to explain or understand monads is that this property in many different ways for many different ends, and that the what and the why are often mixed in the explanation.

I'll pile on Samsung being absolute garbage. Same is true for GE and LG. Went through three fridges before the warranty ran out. Then just bit the bullet and bought a Bosch 800 and have had zero trouble since.
> which puts them at the same level as their global peers who went through the same thing.

I don't think the problem has anything to do with country vs country loss or competition. It's about children simply losing out on essential education and development, which makes life a bigger struggle going forward. It's especially important for young children, where language and fundamental math acquisition are incredibly important and harder to establish as they age.

It's easy to teach someone calculus if they've had exposure to math since they were 5. It's hard to teach someone algebra if they weren't sitting down with an actual teacher and learning basic arithmetic until 3rd grade. Early math is a hands-on thing and parents often aren't good at teaching it (many being math-phobes themselves).

And that's not even getting into a lack of face-to-face interaction with peers among young kids.

I have to wonder if social anxiety and similar issues will be more common among kids who went through strict covid lockdowns.

> how would you measure the quality of a friend?

Sounds a bit like we are all family. I must admit I go to work to have an output and get paid for it, and I like producing above the average, though I don't work in a faceless sweatshop, most managers like measuring everything in my experience.

I think you can work hard and have your output measured without being in a sweatshop, and if there is no measures then it's very easy to fall into some sort of open loop with no end. I have friends from places I've worked, but work is work, and a job is a job, its an agreement to produce something for money and at the end of the day I go home and do something else. I do feel covid has shown everyone that this is the case, and to present a job as anything else is disingenuous.
I thought it would be obvious, but I guess I do need to spell it out - at similar ages.

> The operative factor is how well your immune system recognizes the threat and produces antibodies, not how many virus copies were there originally.

These probably aren't independent, and are occurring at the same time. So while a very small amount of virus is replicating, the immune system is mounting a defense, slowing down that replication. The virus may never get to a significant amount (although the immune response might knock you on your ass.)

On the other hand, if you start with a ton of virus already, you'll be dealing with the immune response and the direct effects of the virus at the same time, and the virus may overwhelm or even limit the immune response.

That's not exactly true. You can write your own patch for a feature and there's a good chance they'll decide they don't want it. It's their prerogative, but also slightly upsetting when you know they're blocking features you want. Just observe the bike shedding over a trailing commas patch [1].

I focused on the individual characters I liked. Levin is a personal favorite and as you get further along you get a little more of him. Read each character story as a vignette and don't worry about connecting the dots of the whole book until later -- or until it comes up again. Interestingly, it's the same method I use for Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

How to Build Your Own High-Performing Wood-Fired Pizza Oven from Bricks [video]
In the UK there is a Jeremy Bentham philosophy, where by people get loaded up with debt because it generally keeps them productive and out of trouble. Then the UK can attend G7 conferences because its GDP is high enough. Some call it slavery by another name! The US Mil call it punching above its weight and the UK is generally recognised as the no1 soft power in the world. Forget expensive military hardware & Police hardware, intelligence led psychological warfare on the population is cheaper and more deniable when rumours are put out in the community as people voluntarily police their manor like vigilantes watching Emmanuel Goldstein figures. The innovation in innuendo based intimidation and harassment is quite entertaining and its all deniable. The techniques used to create the Nazi's can be deployed in tight knit communities via community watch schemes and the like, no paperwork so the Police are happy with that and the security services can also deny it.

Probably not. But if you knew this was the case, you might get a bigger apartment next time you do move, in order to save yourself the commute time, if nothing else.

This is exciting stuff, but I’m still confused about how we solve for base load generation with solar and wind? What do you do when an entire region is sunless and windless for a week? My impression is that you can’t simply bring enough power from neighboring regions to meet demand. So do we have really big storage systems and/or massive overprovisioning? And if so, how does solar and wind compete with those costs factored in?
