Devil's advocate: if they've been doing this for years (and I do agree wholeheartedly with you personally) then has it really been detrimental to game health? Presumably they have metrics indicating positive growth or they wouldn't be pushing in this direction.

Maybe it just means old players like us are no longer the target and it's to the long-term benefit of the game to tell us to pound sand as they have for years.

This is wrong? Once something is GPL, it's always GPL. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/98777/347066
This is such an interesting point. When people have something to lose they turn inwards with the goal of protecting what they have. There's something to be said about how people can connect when nobody has resources to guard. Maybe this is part of why kids and college students can form such easy camaraderie compared to adults.
3D in CSS
I played D&D for about 27 years, but I never thought it was particularly good. It was just the lingua franca, the kernel a relatively small community could come together around.

I don't think D&D has to be the default tabletop RPG anymore, nor should it be. Partly due to the OGL and its knock-on effects, lots more people entered the community. Maybe they want different things than just a miniatures combat-oriented pastiche of Tolkien, Howard, and Vance. You can publish books more easily, distribute them more easily, market them more easily. I think the tabletop industry could sustain a community without D&D if it had to, and maybe it has to. I wonder if maybe that's a good thing.

WoTC's decision was selfish, tone-deaf, destructive; all that stuff. It will hurt people with existing businesses built around OGL content. That sucks. But, I don't think it will (as this open letter states) dismantle the tabletop industry. On the contrary, I hope it frees it from its dependence on a capricious IP owner with a brittle license. For the players, maybe it frees them from a mediocre system and the most generic, uninteresting fantasy setting ever. There's a lot more out there, maybe this is a good opportunity to explore some of it.
I'm a Vertuo fan and it got me out of going to the coffeeshop almost every day in a way my Chemex doesn't (so it ended up being net savings despite the relatively higher pod cost). Being around multiple Nspresso stores helps. There's enough variety in coffee-sized pods to be interesting and occasionally I like to try to make an actual latte. The recycling program is decent and so far I haven't generated any pod generated waste. Agreed it's not right for everybody though.

This sub thread got into the angle of general forced retrofit of new code requirements, and claimed a general loss of life from fires being higher in the US making introduction of facts about fire deaths overall relevant IMO.
No, you would say "I will borrow money for you"
They made it a fashion item. It became a must have if you're fashion continuous. They also made it a best in show. If you're are looking for the best, it's a no brainier to buy an iphone. Otherwise you need to be a highly informed tech consumer to understand what a top level phone is. It's too much trouble for most people. Easy sells tech. I don't want to spend too much effort to figure out how to use my phone. If the iPhone saves me a minute of frustration then I'm buying it. They made it affordable by getting financing for it. People can buy it even though it's expensive. Lastly, it really is a cult. People like to be part of the apple crowd.
I love the Botanical Garden, it's my favorite place in Rio and truly underrated. The biodiversity is amazing, great spot for picnics with the kids, photos and so on. Plus it's super cheap and the staff is very welcoming.

I highly recommend their orchids exhibition, which contains 630 unique orchids.
I believe Disney is connected to some OGL-based products, or at least was. Star Wars in general, I think, has some OGL connections.
I'm taking the OP at his word here, but he specifically claims that the proxy service making these requests will also make requests independent of a `go get` or other user-initiated action, sometimes to the tune of a dozen repos at once and 2500 requests per hour. That sounds like a crawler to me, and even if you want to argue the semantic meaning of the word "crawler," I strongly feel that robots.txt is the best available solution to inform the system what its rate limit should be.
>That's not implemented on the OS level.

Yes, it is. The Storage Access Framework is a part of the operating system.
No one reasonable wants blind equality of outcome. They want an to understand the cause of the differences, and they want that cause to be moral.

That's far different from proclaiming either that there is no problem or that outcomes are to be measured blindly.
ISL is a legit good book. Has the correct amount and balance or rigor and application.

The explanation, examples, projects, math- all are crisp.

As the name suggests, it is only an introduction (unlike CLRS). And it does serve as a great beginners' book giving you proper foundation for the things that you learn and apply in the future.

One thing people complain about is it being written in R, but no serious hacker should fear R, as it can be picked up in 30 minutes, and you can implement the ideas in Python.

As someone with industry experience in Deep Learning, I will recommend this book.

The ML course by Andrew Ng has no parallel, though. One must try and do that course. Not sure about the current iteration, but the classic one (w/ Octabe/MATLAB) was really great.
Sounds like the space is ready for development of an open framework that doesn't rely on corporate approval.
I went there a in 2018 it was truly the best botanical park I’ve been too, would recommend 1/1
Amazing for so many reasons.

1. He uses hand tools at every step, following traditional materials and methods (with only limited exceptions)

2. He never wore gloves to protect his hands. I cannot imagine the callouses he must have developed. Or the number of blisters, cuts, and splinters that he endured.

3. He worked alone doing logging and construction, day and night, in all kinds of horrible weather, in a forest. Many risks were taken, but I think most were unavoidable given the budget and goals. Glad he didn’t get seriously hurt.

That said, I wonder how many different sources of information he ingested to learn all of theses skills. I’ve spent a lifetime pursuing a similar set of skills and only recently feel ready to build some log/log-framed structures on my own property.
>Luke’s father killing / becoming Darth Vader shifts it away from a story of revenge

At the risk of dating myself, when Empire came out the question of whether Darth Vader was telling the truth was a matter of considerable debate. That summer, at one point, someone at the AI Lab printed out the discussion (from rec.arts.sf-lovers) on the lab's doubtless hugely expensive laser printer and bound it.

I was just reminded up this because a memory popped up on my Facebook feed about totally confusing one of my editors because I apparently made some reference to this in something I wrote and she had never known this was a topic of debate.
it's me, just learned it
I was thinking something similar to your third point, though more for cdc_stream, since as of last year sshfs is no longer maintained anyway.
Why are you assuming they work in FAANG?
> The city's other category of dwelling is "non-fireproof", and non-fireproof buildings require multiple forms of egress.

Cool!

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me, and since the site is specifically about the building codes of Ontario, arguing for adapting a building code similar to the one you describe for NYC is probably a much better way of making your case, rather than posting a bunch of artsy floorplans from recent projects in various European cities...
Have a look at the high end electronic organs, they are pretty good (and also pretty expensive, but still a small fraction of what the real thing would cost). Mixtuur, Johannus, van der Poel and quite a few others will give you the opportunity to play and practice to your hearts content and typically a 50 euro donation to the church will get you a 1/2 hour (sometimes more) to play on the real thing if and when you feel you are ready for that (and if you're really good they might get you to become their stand-in organist).

On the cheap end: you can build your own, which is what I did, I converted a really old analogue organ that I bought for next to nothing into a sample based organ running Grand Orgue, it's not quite Hauptwerk but it is very good and sounds amazing, much more organ than I'm worthy of. Total cost: about 500 euros.
Processes like alignment are alot slower than compression. This is a space where some tooling takes days or weeks to run, and you are running them on a cluster of xeons that can gzip or gunzip fast enough for your use cases anyhow.
How good is Coden's performance compared to Cyphon and mypyc?
Ask HN: Storing encrypted, copyrighted material for users
Suppose a web service offers users to store their media data, some of which may be copyrighted. The service would keep metadata separate from the content itself, and that content would be transparently encrypted and decrypted on the user's device, with the keys never leaving that device. Thus, the web service has no way of making any sense of the user's files, but can use the metadata to allow sorting, organising and searching for content.

Would that service be in violation of common copyright terms? Not expecting legal counselling here, just an opinion on whether this is a viable option.
The thing a lot of folks seem to miss is that it isn't just D&D using the OGL, there are non-D&D games (such as Fate, Fudge. Etc) which license themselves using the OGL.
It's not really feasible, I would need a full time assistant basically, I am writing a lot of documents :D

But I think it would be a double-edged sword. It would help to get the words down on paper, but I would not be able to progress if I see that what they're writing is not "clean" enough.
zstd will be installed soon, it's easy to install anyways
I skimmed the original post but still don't really grasp how these VMs are deployed. I assume they are running server-side (client-side would be a violation of App Store policies at least, right)? Is a dedicated VM spun up for each user session? Or just a sandbox in which various services run?
Pathfinder, a very D&D like game by Pazio, was originally based on D&D "3.5". Fourth edition was a wild departure from the rules as they were evolving between AD&D and 3.5. Many people call Pathfinder First Edition D&D 3.75.

It is my understanding, however, that Pathfinder Second Edition is pretty much a full rewrite and only includes the OGL as a way for third parties to build content around Pathfinder Second Edition.

There are a great deal of adaptations, under the OGL, of the original 'Moldvay' Dungeons and Dragons BECMI rules (Basic and Expert rules from the 80s) and the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rules as well.

As it was originally written, backed up by testimony from 'the guys in the room', the orignal OGL was to be considered 'unrevokeable'.

So there are kind of two bad scenarios if Hasbro/Wizards goes ahead with their current plans. One scenario is, OGL 1.1 applies to 'One D&D' and therefore you'd have to sign and abide the 1.1 OGL if you want to build content (and only 'textual printed/pdf content' if I'm reading it right) for 'One D&D'. The worse scenario is that they attempt to revote the 1.0 OGL which basically means a bunch on in-print content evaporates because their publishers do not want to deal with 1.1 OGL.

An extended wrinkle being that 'One D&D' based on their current plans seems to be more of a Edition 5.5 than a new ruleset entirely.
Actually, I did do a version of this. Note that in the posted code there's a weird comment that says: "...that includes the remainder of the input, with personal pronouns conjugated correctly", but the code actually does not do this at all. It seems to have mis-interpreted this as the pronouns in the sentence, as opposed to the pronouns in the part of the user's input. I even tried to give it examples, and it was always polite, but never got what I meant. Because you can't really have the sort of close-quarters interaction you can have with a student or co-programmer, you spend a lot of time trying to query-hack. I could have literally written what I wanted way faster than it took to fail to get it to understand what I wanted. (Which i never did.)
One of my favorite quotes is "Good judgement comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgement". I really like this article for showing the other side to viewing other people's mistakes... almost everyone very experienced in the wild have made some bad judgement calls before, and through luck or skill have managed to not get themselves killed. Everyone was a beginner at some point, and while we can take solace in knowing we will hopefully not make the mistake that whomever we're reading about did, remember that we've all done stupid things and gotten lucky.

I follow a few of the prominent ski mountaineers, and one of my favorite times is when they talk about a decision they made on a trip that was a bad one, but didn't end up badly. "Another notch on the belt of 'I got away with something'". I think this acknowledgement of making a mistake and getting away with it is very important b/c that is how you identify the lessons you need to learn.
It’s the strangest thing. I don’t. I don’t like horror and I could never get into alien. I think the plot/story in terminator is just so compelling and horror doesn’t seem to be used just for scares but furthers the story.
Yup. Session storage is particularly useful for remembering the initial URL of the user when they leave your app for SSO.
Maybe a good time to start something of your own? Be it full-time if you have the savings/investment, or on the side.
If you want a simple drip machine that makes really good coffee, I can highly recommend a Moccamaster. It's probably the closest you're going to get to a pour over with a machine, and it has only two buttons - one to turn the machine on, and another to to adjust how long the plate stays hot.
Right, that's usually when I go into story-telling mode, to paint a picture of exactly the sorts of things I'd be doing with the problem as an attacker. Technical vulnerability descriptions provide useful information, but people often need an idea of what it really means, to them.
> the Prometheus trailed spoiled the whole movie by revealing a major action from the last 5 minutes of the movie

Which one? If we're talking about the same trailer (TED 2023), it spoiled nothing for me, leading to a rather awkward cinema date. More details elsewhere in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34315367.
Enjoy your paranoid life. Imo the ideas you're writing indicate very high levels of stress, which can lead to unfounded mistrust of others and general misanthropy. If you could see it more broadly you might see that the people "taking advantage" are also suffering, and have more in common with you than you appreciate.

It's ok to be yourself around those people, to let down your proverbial guard, while having appropriate boundaries and not being exploited ... But over focus on who exploits and who is exploited blah blah blah ... All of that is quite toxic. It can make you just as miserable as the people you're accusing, if not more. And if you see every interaction this way, it's only a matter of time before you start seeing potential exploitation where it doesn't exist.
I don't understand how gamers (non-videogame gamers in this case) put up with ruthless monetization and lock-in attempts by the biggest companies.

RPGs is a particularly bizarre case. You really don't need anything but a group of friends, your imagination and some rules to play roleplaying games. Ok, so you want merchandise -- player screens and mats and minis -- all of that's optional, there's no RPG police that can prevent you making your own or buying from third parties. So you have adventure modules... I made my own adventures back when I was a teenager, but I can sort of see not everyone has the imagination to make their own, plus being able to "share" a world with other gaming groups so you can say you defeated the Temple of Elemental Evil or whatnot is sort of cool; not my thing, but I can see it.

But now apparently Wizards of the Coast is not content with all the stuff they already sell, so they are starting to build a virtual world (+ app, of course) where you can customize your character, buy DLC, etc. Of course, all tidily locked-in, because what better way to keep a tight reign than owning the app?

I can't wrap my head around this. An app? DLC? Custom items? For a game that happens inside your head, and that most people choose to play to do something other than staring at a screen? Has the world gone crazy?

You only needed some friends, dice and an imagination...
Store the content in ipfs and just put the hash in the URL?

I haven't used https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs in this capacity but I'm under the impression that that's moving bits around like that is more or less its purpose.

Although I suppose this puts a burden on the URL-creator to pin the content until the URL-clicker doesn't need it anymore, which is not how URLs are supposed to work.
Yeah, I'm sure Aeropress is making bank selling you $15 worth of filters once or twice a year[0]. Or you could spend that same $15 on Aeropress' stainless mesh filter[1], and they'll never see another dime from you again.

Downside to metal mesh filter: it doesn't pull out all of the oily residue that a paper filter would. It doesn't bother us, but you might be more picky.

"Biden sold 180 million barrels of the strategic petroleum reserve at about $96ish per barrel and is now refilling it at about $73ish per barrel.

Well, if the "rager hard" mode is the default, that doesn't help the general population, now does it? I still hate hCaptcha with a burning passion and hope no site ever adopts it
How does Codon leverage the lessons learned from Unladen Swallow?
I got caught near the top of Mt. Fromme - literally a 40 min climb from city streets in North Vancouver. A flash storm hit us near the top, hit us with rain + hail in the middle of summer, and from +24 degrees C down to 3. We went from fine to hypothermic VERY quickly. Bombed down to the bottom of the hill through gnarly trails, freezing my hands and feet off all the way down. Since we were in t-shirts it was getting pretty serious. At the bottom of the hill the weather pattern disappeared and it was warm and sunny again.

Sometimes you can even have life risking events in the front country, on a gorgeous day with a great forecast. Now I take small emergency jacket all the time* regardless of anything. Another good reason is if you sustain an injury, you can get tremendously cold even in decent weather. Heating packs are a good idea too.

* - well until I get negligent again, and get caught out in another hailstorm.

Actually, when I tried to use git on Win10 it worked at first but then at some point stopped functioning.

Now that I'm on Win11, I definitely need to revisit that - thanks for the reminder!

The only downside, though, is the clipboard won't be as easily accessible. I'm thinking of things like piping text to clip.
If they do then they are just probably running zcat for you for convenience sake. You can always incorporate better compression by adding it to your pipeline, and piping in uncompressed data to the legacy tool then compressing the resulting output with whatever tool you want.
This is a useful idea when you've got complex nested state. The problem is changing any particular part of the state is non-trivial. I ended up making `friendly-serializer`[0] to "make objects more accessible in urls."

The idea is that instead of a base64 string, you get something that is much easier to edit in the url bar:

> name=John%20Doe&age=42&address.street=123%20Main%20Street&address.city=Anytown&address.state=CA&address.phoneNumbers.0=123-456-7890&address.phoneNumbers.1=234-567-8901

There's a similar npm project to [0] that I discovered after I'd published this, but I don't recall the name. PRs welcome.

I'm hard-core about the 1-hr limit. If it hits 65 minutes, I'll glance at my phone, then look at the folks (or the camera) and say "Woops, sorry... gotta go." If you can do this w/o getting fired (at the risk of belaboring the obvious), you should.
I think any large company will have these rotating layoffs and the key to working for them is to keep a high level of performance as documented in annual reviews.

Other than that, I think any large Corp will do layoffs. Either routinely or any excuse in the economy to fire people they don’t want to retain.

I don’t think there’s any political change to affect Goldman Sachs as I can’t see them having a single union to protect workers.
I have burned a lot of time thinking a host was down only to find it blocks ICMP echo (ping).
