Dark Forest is the only game I know of that has all-on-chain game play like the game I've been working on, Orbiter 8. The two games have a lot in common, actually. Both are space games, with planets as assets, 2D views of the game map, all on-chain, written in Solidity, client agnostic, etc. But the two games are still distinctly different in how they play. Also, we are still in alpha and haven't released any battle features. Our last demo only has trade, but it's multichain and we're planning on bridging the ships so they're cross chain. You'll get to take your ship into universes that exist on other networks, ti's gonna be kinda neat:

MetaGymLand a virtual gym where you can move physically
Hey :)

Martin here

I would like to showcase my project MetaGymLand

And gather some feedback from people here

So here we go:

MetaGymLand

Smart Fitness and wellness platform for a decentralised world.

A virtual gym where you can actually move physically

Video Demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTWeE7YJnj4

link to app https://metagymland.com/

Let me know if you think app like that

- would be useful
- would you use it
- what you like
- what you don't like
- does a product like that makes any sense :)

I will be super grateful for some feedback ;)

Thanks,
Martin
These same people are the ones that will want bailed out when the economy crashes and their tenants can’t afford their ridiculously high rent. It’s greed. A buddy of mine wants to rent his home because then he can afford to buy a new home off what his renters are paying. Watch things crumble and he’s stuck with two mortgages.
Is the VR a compelling upgrade over the 2D experience?

In particular does it help with the controls? (Can you directly interact with them?)

Finally, if I can be so bold, how much hardware did you need to pull off VR? Does it require a high end Nvidia 3080 or 3090?

Early Solaris was definitely not very good. I briefly ran Solaris 2.4 on a SparcStation 5, and reinstalled SunOS 4.1.x because Solaris 2.4 was so bad. 2.5 was decent though!
Nope, the emergency department of an NHS hospital is absolutely not reserved for things where people couldn't wait one hour without dying (or people who are in danger of death period).

And since we're talking specifically about the subset of NHS emergency department attendees who are more likely to be dead within 30 days if it takes longer than the NHS' target of four hours for them to receive an inpatient bed, I'm pretty unconvinced that the alternative route of booking a doctor's appointment in the next few days to see if he'll refer in a week or two is the more appropriate one...

My app is down as well. My DNS is in Cloudflare, but currently pointed at a Heroku CNAME.... I was hoping I could point it directly to an IP if I knew the underlying AWS LB service IP, but they do not expose it.
FWIW, I recently found a succinct description of the strengths of parser-based and choice-based IF tucked away as an aside in an article by Jimmy Maher on a different subject [1]:

> a hypertext narrative built out of discrete hard branches is much more limiting in some ways than a parser-driven text adventure with its multitudinous options available at every turn — but, importantly, the opposite is also true. A parser-driven game that’s forever fussing over what room the player is standing in and what she’s carrying with her at any given instant is ill-suited to convey large sweeps of time and plot. Each approach, in other words, is best suited for a different kind of experience. A hypertext narrative can become a wide-angle exploration of life-changing choices and their consequences, while the zoomed-in perspective of the text adventure is better suited to puzzle-solving and geographical exploration — that is, to the exploration of a physical space rather than a story space.

There is one more problem I can think of (but yes you're right, it can't get worse than 'total outage'): Heroku might detect that the CNAME is missing and will deactivate some stuff from their automatic domain management / TLS certificate issuing.

The point is that your assumption

> If you own a large amount of a currency, you want to ensure that the currency in question is trusted, or otherwise that currency would end up losing its value.

is fundamentally flawed. You can own a large amount of a currency and profit from it losing its value.
Courageous.
Every conversation about “NIMBYs” and “we don’t have enough affordable housing” needs to account for this. Building doesn’t lower prices, it creates a fat investment opportunity.
>Young Labour went out of their way to paint pro-Brexiters as racists and bigots. The dirty secret is that even Corbyn has been a long time Euro-sceptic.

I'm pretty sure that a reason Labour did much better than expected in the 2017 general election is that Brexit voters suspected that Corbyn had secretly voted for Leave.
We did some trials and ended up on Crunchy Data for the Postgres part of the equation. Wish we had done so earlier, logical replication was a big win.

Sadly, we're still using Heroku DNS, but this should accelerate finding an alternative.
That's not really how auditors work. Auditors either give the client a letter saying what the client wants it to say[0] or decline to provide the client with that letter. They do not go public with their reasons.

OTOH how many offspring will you manage to have without these techniques? Probably a lot fewer. Corn yields have gone up 10 fold over the past 100 years. If we use that as proxy for other crops, then the population would be literally decimated (reduced to 1/10th). Assuming no exports and other things that are certainly at play here of course.

Are they the same inflation forecasts that last year said it was 'only transitory'? And that inflation would "peak at 5%"? We're now at 10.1%. Meanwhile the private sector (Citi Bank), who tend to know what's actually going on in comparison to the public sector because their responsibility is to investor's profits rather than catering to politics and public perception, have now got inflation hitting 18% in early 2023. I would love to see how you square going from 18% to 0% in the space of 9 months. Especially when energy bills are forecast to go over £5000 in January unless the government intervenes.

Pubs are warning of over 70% closure rates due to rising energy costs. 457,000 people are employed by pubs. If 70% of those jobs go that's 319,900 jobs lost, not to mention all the knock on effects. How many brewery jobs will be lost? Delivery jobs? Taxi driving jobs? How many communities will be damaged through losing one of the main socialising spaces? This is just one sector of the economy. Similar stories are being reported in restaurants, takeaways, manufacturing and retail.

On top of this we now have barristers, postal workers, railway staff, teachers, refuse collectors, journalists and hospital staff all on strike. More professions will likely be joining the list in the coming months. How is any of this hyperbolic?

There is a very real feeling that this is the calm before the storm and how it plays out is very much going to depend an awful lot on who gets elected next month and what they choose to do about the energy price rise in October.

Those IPs tend to stay pretty stable and are shared across the fleet. While you should change them back once things are stable, it's reasonably likely these won't change out from under you in a few hrs.
It's sad that MSFS20 is just not really an actual simulator. The complete lack of 2D panels is a dealbreaker for any kind of instrument training. And breaking the continuity of 40 years of MSFS flight model code with a greenfield codebase, while farming the development out to a shovel-ware studio (Asobo) has just been a disaster technically.

I’m sure it’s a beautiful fun game to play on Xbox. But I wouldn’t use it for serious flight training as I would with FSX, and I don’t think anyone else is either. Xplane is most likely the future of flight simming at this point.

This is my issue. I am commonly hearing people ask "What are you, iOS or Android?" - IE as if it is inherent to the person themselves and there are only two choices.

This is scary. I love the idea of having an alternative to iOS and Android. But I also need to function within society. This shouldn't be a choice.

Tests aren't really a good way of assessing learning in the first place. Doing well in them usual just involves temporary memorisation, which has no real value. Education systems should move towards better assessment methods, like project work. analytic reports, and summaries, which also have the benefit of being able to be done remotely if needed.

The best managers I've had were none of these things. My favorite manager was one who genuinely listened to me and was also interested in helping me learn in ways that helped the company. He was an outstanding resource and help whenever I had a question about anything, especially if it was technical. He had a good bit of humor and sarcasm that poked through every now and then, but never in a mean way. He was Canadian and had the stereotypical Canadian niceness to him. I'd work for him again any day.

> -The largest cost is distributed state and the cost writing key-value in global state will be the same for any blockchain

Okay but why do it all on the same ledger? All the different applications fighting for the same bandwidth and paying astronomical fees. At the very least, just fork off for each new application like cheapETH (https://cheapeth.org/) or something. Token not needed.

Maintaining DNS is massive overhead, so it wouldn't kill you to put some work in if you intend to make a solid solution to replace it.

Also, documentation and events? Half of what you've listed here is either useless or you also have to do it on etherium anyways so what gives? The only thing you get from etherium is additional bloat. Namecoin works fine and is probably more secure because you don't have to worry about it interacting with "smart" contracts and all sorts of crazy shit.

So called "private platforms" don't exist on the internet. If YouTube really wants to be completely private, than the government should physically sever any backbone connections over public land. Let Google pay for every inch of fiber, and negotiate with every single property owner, every step of the way.

Then and only then will they actually have a private platform where they can ban anyone for any reason. Until then, they are imposing on the public, and the public has every right to require them to respect our most foundational values of freedom of speech.

There is no question that a modern offensive submarine could sink a carrier. Theoretically a carrier group should be able to detect it but it’s a very real threat.

The exemple you give for the relevance of carrier is not a symmetric conflict. Thankfully the equipment available to the Islamic State was garbage compared to what a modern army can do.

In a conflict between for exemple the US and China, carriers would be useless. They would probably be amongst the first things to be targeted.

(No really, this kind of question is absolutely going to be in a Stats 101 class. And sample sizes really don't need to be that big to be accurate.)

Yup, most bars will give you a coke with a lime for free. (I'd still tip them a couple bucks for the first one, though).

If you're at a bar and you don't want to drink, the bar absolutely wants to help you accomplish your mission. No bar owner wants an alcoholic to relapse in their bar, nor do they want designated drivers getting into fender benders in their parking lot. They'll happily give you a drink that looks alcoholic to help you ward off the peer pressure.

The work permit (I-765) does not allow you to enter the US, only to work when already legally in the country (for example, via an H-1B). And neither does the re-entry permit / advance parole (I-131) let you enter, unless you obtain it while in the US.

And those documents can anyway only be applied if already in the country, and once your I-485 is current and I-140 is approved, which for Indians/Chinese/Filipinos means a >10 year wait, and for everyone else means a >1 year wait while PWD, PERM and I-140 process. Large companies can shorten the PWD/PERM wait a bit, but that does little for the backlogged countries and those not already inside the US.

There is no _realistic_ employment based path to a greencard that does not go through a non-immigrant visa.

Also, the work permit processing times have been extremely backlogged over the past year. It is getting better, but I have personally seen a greencard arrive after about a year recently, and the corresponding work permit arrive a week _later_ (useless, by then).

And if you look at large scale statistics available in immigrant communities, you can see approvals are all over the place, with no rhyme or reasons - some people get it in months, for some it takes years. There is no predictability.

Some people are so driven towards being productive that they think their time is worth more than others.

Why should I waste my day taking to you when I could be working and being more productive?

Eventually all your relationships, friends family etc are tied down to how much money you will be making with that time as it could be better spent working, making money .

So sure every choice is a vote for an improved you. No one would question such an obvious statement. But the way this is framed, is that every decision should be a productive one, which will net you more income.

So stop wasting your time and be more productive or your self worth is delimiting. Aka productivity porn.
My colleague posted an interesting article that addresses the disparity between an end-user of a typescript library and being a library author.

As the user of a library, not only do I hope for excellent documentation, but I also hope that the library authors have designed an ergonomic API that provides clear and consistent typings when using TypeScript. What I acknowledge I lack is a clear understanding of the level of effort that is required. Designing and building a library is challenging, creating documentation takes time, and support TypeScript types is another burden that I place on library authors.
