We're getting a little off-topic here, but this is actually the first I'm learning that MtG can't explicitly mention the stack (I follow set releases and read cards casually sometimes, cube once in a blue moon, played standard one summer ever). That's a bit of a shame - one of the other card games I've played (Yu-Gi-Oh) works its equivalent (a "Chain") into card effects and it doesn't have to be complicated. One very good card ("Chain Strike") does damage multiplied by its stack position (chain link) so the later in the stack (chain) it appears, the more damage it does. That's not too crazy. Would've loved that either to attempt the inevitable degenerate combos or just splash it into RDW. There is also a balancing mechanism where certain effects can only be activated once per stack (chain) which is not as draconian as "per turn" but could otherwise when omitted potentially make cards ingredients in degenerate combos (e.g. "Accumulated Fortune").

Final aside: I used the phrase twice, so it should be clear that the history of said game (again, Yu-Gi-Oh) is plagued with degenerate combos.

EDIT: Editing in this edit to acknowledge that there is a sibling comment with a valid nit that invalidates the reason I responded. In my defense, my slow phone-based composition took me so long I did not see it until this edit. I'm leaving it for the sake of hopefully any nascent game designer getting any insight, I suppose. Or hey, card game players getting their kicks thinking about card game mechanics.
Hubble can take images similar to what you see, but the famous pillars of creation image is not an example of that.

That in image in "Hubble pallet" or SHO. It's an image where the colors come from three extremely narrow spectral bands that have better contrast in astronomical images because they show ionized gasses with less noise from dust reflected blackblody light.

Red=sulphur line, Green=Hydrogen line Blue=oxygen line.

The oxygen line appear blue-green to the human eye, and the Hydrogen alpha line is a dim far red color that the eye isn't very sensitive to, the sulphur line is even further towards the infrared, barely visible at all.
Well the open source project did actually use similar Replit internals, I don't even work for Replit but with a lot of poking at their previous APIs and their own open source softwares I was able to figure that out. TBH that whole ordeal felt like a bar brawl between and employer and a fired employee, though. Neither handled the situation correctly and both were in the wrong.
If your workplace doesn't naturally need branches, like, PRs are to be merged immediately, then it is very hard to convince your colleagues. In fact I don't think you should in that case, your team's workflow wouldn't be a good fit for Git anyway. Using spreadsheets does sound problematic, that's why locking exists in Perforce and many other centralized VCSes, but that can be fixed without introducing Git.

Dunno. I'm guessing that you could remove them and see stars underneath them, because, after all, other parts of the telescope can see that patch of sky (the arms don't _entirely_ occlude it.. just from some angles). But I don't really know what I'm talking about.
The Goodwill and Salvation Army stores here look like dumps. Everyone leaves their "donations" everywhere.
When I was in university, academics of every discipline made it clear to me: controversial research does not get published. Donors have huge sway over the university, and if the university fears controversial research will chill donors they will intervene. This is on top of other mechanisms like foreign censors (one academic had a colleague who's book was banned in much of South Asia), and good o'l fashioned twitter mobs.

Tenure, despite it's elitism and problems of fostering a gerontocracy, is one of the few mechanisms that helps people explore controversial topics. But even then, finding can be cut and labs shut down even if the tenured professor is not fired.

I understood the answer, it just didn't address the question properly. I think you failed to understand the problem with the answer.

> The foregone conclusion, thus, is that a fully-automated system will do more harm for the user-base than good.

This is not an answer, it is just lazy circular reasoning. "Automated take downs should not be used because they do more harm than good." Yes we have already established that is your assertion, I am asking for how you were able to conclude that.
> Should we presume that it must be an invisible ball of matter that gravitates but we have no other way of detecting except through the same effect we use to infer its existence, or should we tweak Newton's laws of physics?

Are these substantially different? Of course using “must” isn’t appropriate, but spouting off the best theory you have at the time seems okay to me. Hopefully no one is saying that we cannot possibly ever find another better theory the same way Einstein’s was better than Newton’s or that we shouldn’t ever look for one.
I have no idea either.

For example when someone asks me "how do I get a German work visa" and I reply with a link to a page titled "how to get a German work visa", which is the among the first results on Google. A literal minute later, they ask me more questions that the page clearly answers.

Some people can't be arsed to read a 5 minute article you hand-delivered to them, and would rather have you type it back to them.

I think that some people just have zero respect for other people's time.
This is a great trick, but they leave out the rest. At least give people a link to learn how to use a compass and map together. I suppose walking in a general direction is good, but learning how to read a map, orient, triangulate your position, take a bearing, then travel that direction is a super valuable skill if you're ever in a situation that you actually need to know how to use your watch as a compass.

High school student here. idk if coding on mobile will take off in its current form. The tooling works, but it doesn't work well. I can (and have) writen things in the editor on Glitch[1] or in Termux on my phone, but the reduced typing speed for code (you can't rely on autocorrect like with normal text) and the lack of a proper web inspector (I use eruda[2] which is fine but missing features compared to the devtools on desktop browsers) make it frustrating to do larger projects.

The definition can cover a fair amount of ground.

My experience with the product has been that it has made very clear attempts to provide the user ID for SaaS implementations of the payments system.

I first heard of someone who was using stripe to store all user data on the Running in Production podcast, I thought they were nuts.

But then I went to reimplement the services this year due to the deprecation the "legacy" popover modal on Checkoit.

The new version seems more about locking builders to stripe than it is about anti-fraud, checkout UX or developer experience.

It’s subtle but can be discerned from the implementation details and docs or lack thereof. In that way I would suggest the company has made some insidious decisions about the product.

On one hand, it’s hard to blame them, because before their API could be replicated and swapped out like S3.
Putting aside the profound ethical implications of shuttering rural towns (and the political hurdles to doing so), this strategy does not address carbon emissions, much less the profound air quality impacts associated with catastrophic wildfire, including impacts in urban areas like Portland Oregon right now.

The consequences are vast. Would you abandon much of the American West?
Yeah, cause GDP will definitely just stop growing once you've extracted the $4T. Taxes disappear into a hole you can never get them out of once they've been spent. The stimulus money has famously halted the economy in its tracks.

The point I'm making is that the problem is there's a lot of stagnant dollars providing no value to us, that you could readily reinvest in something like this.

Also, before someone brings up inflation in response, I will point out the reason inflation is rampant, is we're not pulling the money out of the economy at the same rate we're putting it in...
Wait until you start looking in to, say, psychology papers, vis a vis reproducibility. I think that a lot of these studies should be reviewed during the actual research and study part by at least a sociologist or cultural anthropologist, and a mathematician with expertise in probability.

When nearly every policy can be backed by "some papers published in <some journal>", stuff like this becomes important. For a recent example, the US White house is engaging in a 5 year study to determine if releasing sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere would accomplish enough "cooling" to offset the "climate crisis". the "climate crisis" is something that exists in computer models, few of the models agree, and if they do, it behooves us to look at when they started agreeing and find out why that change happened.

Or if they’re building castles in the clouds, letting them spin not only themselves up but everyone else is not conducive to getting to a reasonable outcome.

I typically go through most Brave threads I see. There's vocal people on both sides, but a lot of the detractors are pretty much rehashing something they read in a hit piece, or some article that doesn't word things clearly. Yet people keep spreading the misunderstandings.

Not liking the product or the company is one thing. Not liking crypto is perfectly understandable (I don't have any real interest in it either). But I wish people could just say they don't like it, or make informed criticisms. In most cases it's painfully obvious people have never even fiddled with the browser and simply trust hearsay.
I am not a cloud expert but so much of this rings true, esp the following quote:

There's no such thing as government regulation that protects you from the government. That's like trusting sociopaths with following the honor system. They may be effective at pretending to follow the law, but if the government wants your body, your data, or anything at all, they'll just take it.
Not a huge fan of Kroger at the moment.

We had FIVE stores when the local chain owned them. Kroger bought them out, and slowly closed them. Each neighborhood had its own Kroger.

They built a shiny new big store where an old A&P was. And then, closed the two reimagining "old" Krogers.

It was great at first, huge bakery, a cheese section, olive bar, all new coolers etc. But the store quickly went to crap. It's also packed because half the city is there in any given day.

They bragged about spending millions refreshing the store, but they can't even have more than 2-3 checkout lanes open.

This has all gotten worse during the pandemic. It's almost as bad as Walmart now.

Just curious, has anyone in the Bay Area gotten a good deal on a new model 3 or Y this past year?

I ask because it seems to be there are only so many potential buyers before the market appetite is saturated. If they've produced and sold 600,000 new cars this year, I expect there may not be another 600,000 customers willing to pay full retail for a Tesla vehicle.
I don’t think it is exactly zenith at exactly 12 noon, though now that you mentioned it, I remember that the apps I use shows it might shift as much as +/- 30 mins where I am at. Playing with the app (Sun Seeker), I can see what you mean by different places and times of the year as it relates to clock time and zenith.

On the note about the age of sail, I remember that accurate maritime clocks revolutionized and enabled sailing, and colonization. Though at the time, I was mystified by how the sextant and clock would get location.

Two of my hobbies are permaculture and astrology, so I spent a lot of time observing the path of the sun as it relates to my location on earth.
> Serial numbers of all phone parts get marked as stolen and become unusable.

How does this happen without part locking and phone home protocols for repairs though which is exactly what so many people are up in arms about? Seriously I'm trying to envision a system that allows a stolen part to be made "unusable" after the fact, while not also requiring that you make some sort of "mother may I" request to Apple with the serial number of the new phone and "new" part.
> For example, the Face ID lockout: Imagine if one could just pipe an AI-generated map of your face, straight into the Face ID port, to unlock your phone using a fake sensor - or, have a fake modified sensor record your facial data for later use.

It doesn't even have to be intentionally malicious. Imagine a fake Touch ID sensor, for example, which outputs the same data every time any finger touches it. This would be much easier and less expensive to implement than an actual fingerprint sensor; it'd be a promising way for a savvy counterfeiter to save money producing replacement parts.

Along similar lines, some counterfeit screens for iPhones used a touchscreen controller from a much older model of iPhone than the replacement screen was made for. This worked -- more or less -- until an iOS update removed the drivers for that TSC, under the assumption that the phones receiving that update were all too new to contain that part...
This implies all communication is scaled which is a false assumption. Most interaction is one on one not N to many and there's no reason you need to use the same for both.

Doubting a scientific paper results is different from distrusting science.

Academia is a complex place and it's full of fake results to get publications. (I'm coauthor of several scientific papers and I know for a fact countless highly rated papers in my former field are not reproducible because they come from adjusted numbers).
Yes, because governments can have you silenced, arrested, tortured or killed, whereas tech companies can at best only ban you from their platforms, or not target ads or content to you.
It isn't a straw man, though. It literally happens all the time. Role play a woman in an office. And, I should have stated flat out I can see this style can exist. My discourse is why not to lead in with it. Pretty much anywhere.

I don't mean to offend you if you are interrupt averse, it's just the case that AFAICT cooperative interrupting is an important efficiency gain. I believe that because of the argument I made above, but you're leaning more into ad hominem rather than addressing it.
> [...] there is some internal tooling, Python based, which will benefit from Git.

Do not speculate; quantify it. The switch to Git will affect the whole team, your proposal should be as complete as possible.

My last workplace---also in the gaming industry---once used a mix of Git and Perforce, but now exclusively uses Git. This was not a light decision, artists and client programmers preferred Perforce for a good reason and using both Git and Perforce did work albeit with caveats (we had lots of tooling to synchronize both repos for example). But engine and server programmers also did have a good reason to use Git, especially because they did a full code review and relied on fast branching. So we developed a simple graphical interface to Git LFS for artists and client programmers, which finally made the switch viable. If we didn't have such interface and forced Git for everyone it wouldn't have worked at all. (To be fair, some still complain and it is an ongoing challenge to maintain the interface though. My very last job in that company was working around a bug in Gitlab's handling of Git LFS.)

Starlight navigation is incredible. I was in the marines with a helicopter pilot who had a second set of wings on his uniform, an odd pair I'd never seen. Turns out he was a starlight navigator on C-130s before becoming an officer and getting his pilot's wings. He used to wear the starlight navigator ABOVE the pilot wings, which I always thought was incredible. The training and skills you need to get this set of wings is quite an undertaking.

I can navigate with a map and compass, but you're using terrain to help you locate yourself on the map. Being able to do it in the expanse of the ocean or the air, with only the stars is pretty amazing.
House arrest is a reasonable solution for nonviolent offenders. If they violate the house arrest, then they go to an actual prison.
That’s a tough one because some people seem to have trouble finding flow state to begin with. I tend to have a fairly easy time but have picked up that few people are as cavalier about it as I am.

That may also be why I was able to walk away and experiment with not doing it. Writers, for instance, seem to be notoriously bad at finding flow state. And if I told one to abandon it mid-stream I’d probably get hurt.
> Coin for grocery cart wastes time messing around to get a quarter & lock driving away customer volume that more than pays for a young adult to push carts back.

This is a claim. Is there evidence? Especially at a reasonable wage for a human being (which is not federal minimum)?

> Leaving the items in the container wastes shelf space & time by disallowing spring loaded or gravity dispensers

Shelf space: Aldi seems to do a pretty good job of keeping everything they want to put out fronted. As for spring or gravity dispensers, I can go look around a different supermarket and the only place I see gravity dispensers is in some (not all) drink coolers and some (not all) spices. If they showed efficiency bonuses, I'd suspect that we'd see them more.

> lacks self service kiosks & usually have 1 lane open

No self-service? Sure. One lane open? Not where I am. There's usually multiple open and even when there are, with three carts in line, they call another cashier.
I can't think about the cloud without immediately grasping its huge downsides: absolutely no privacy at all, data lock-in, forced migration, forced obsolescence, and things just vanishing if the rent is not continuously paid.

I have files on my computer from the 1990s and 2000s. If we lived in the cloud-centric world those projects that I did back then would probably be gone forever since I'm not sure I would have kept paying rent on them.

There's also no retrocomputing in the cloud. I can start DOSBox on my laptop and run software from the DOS era. That will never be possible in the cloud. When it's gone it's gone. When a SaaS company upgrades, there is no way to get the old version back. If they go out of business your work might be gone forever, not just because you don't have the data but because the software has ceased to exist in any runnable form.

It all seems like an ugly dystopia to me. I don't think I'm alone here, and I think these things are also factors that keep development and a lot of other things local in spite of the advantages of "infinite scalability" and such.

I'm not saying these things are unsolvable. Maybe a "cloud 2.0" architecture could offer solutions like the ability to pull things down and archive them along with the code required to access them and spin up copies of programs on demand. Maybe things like homomorphic encryption or secure enclaves (the poor man's equivalent) can help with privacy.

... or maybe having a supercomputer on my lap is fine and we don't need this. Instead what we need is better desktop and mobile OSes.
