Yes, that's why sectoral bargaining laws are so important - they force firms to compete on genuine innovation and efficiency, rather than undercutting pay and working conditions.
> The brand is so dominant that in any group most of the players will play D&D

I cannot wrap my brain around this. For boardgames, which is a growing market and has been for years now, people are buying and learning new games every day, especially geeks who are only too eager to teach them to their gaming groups.

How come for RPGs it's too difficult for one geek to evangelize a new RPG to their group, especially if they are newbies not too invested in an ongoing RPG campaign?

D&D is a very complex system, there are far simpler, newbie-friendly rules out there. How come you cannot convince your newbie friends to try one? One other commenter was mentioning how complex D&D is, how every spell and level and weapon is interconnected in very restricting ways in order to prevent overpowered characters -- that cannot be easy to teach! I played plenty of D&D based video games, like Icewind Dale, and for the life of me I'm thankful the computer hides all the complexity; I wouldn't have played them otherwise!
I bought a Samsung Galalxy Tab S7 Plus in 2020. I've been using that for reading anything technical. PDFs look great on it. I considered buying a Boox, and while I like it, I can not see the sanity of paying so much for it. ROI, I guess, IMO, the S7+ got me my last 2 jobs. It's paid more than 50x what it's worth so far. I'll get the S9 Ultra or whatever when its out if this device begins to lag. Until then, I am very satisfied.
Yep. From Carleton to the Purolator near Hawthorne/Hunt Club. Nightmare. The bus decided to drive right past me and I had to sit on the ground in the hot sun for 45 minutes waiting for the next one, with my phone battery dead. I told myself never again.

I built an engine for my personal site (5-6 years back) along similar lines, with the idea being that elements are defined as "papers" of different sizes that are constantly being animated, and reshuffle themselves on window resize to different positions. (Try rotating it if you look on a phone or tablet). They're all 3d css (so the browser caches their content as bitmaps and renders them as such) and originally they did various flip effects as they moved, but I ended up ditching all but a slight amount of axis tilt on a few elements as it was hard to read and hard to position accurately in 2D space in relation to each other across a lot of screen sizes...

That's the metric the author has cherry-picked, and I acknowledged their legitimate frustration, but my point is that this frustration is one isolated facet of massive technological progress. I will emphatically agree that companies have leveraged improvements in technology to encroach on their customers in increasingly frustrating ways, but I disagree that this means technology is worse.

Not in the United States. Generally middle-class stretched to something along the lines of having enough income you own a home, at least one car, etc. and a level of financial stability (you can take a vacation, plan to retire, etc. even if not lavishly) and access to healthcare. This did not require a professional job – a skilled carpenter or plumber, union factory worker, career postal worker, etc. probably qualified - but that started changing around the time Reagan was elected. When politicians talk about bringing good jobs back, that’s the image they’re trying to conjure up.

> Amazon will say the package is delivered before it is, and they ignore my requests to leave it on the porch more than half of the time.

As far as I can tell, this is an outright fraud they are committing against their own delivery metrics. It's such a ubiquitous problem with Amazon specifically and no other carrier that it can't be just an accidental oopsie. I wouldn't be surprised if they get sued for it in 2023.

That or it's individual actors within the shipment centers doing it to prevent getting fired, in which case I have a lot more sympathy for them even if it makes it hard to know where your package actually is.
Update: I read a tweet thread by the author of the original post, and they also used an uHoo.

So if you find the "uHoo doesn't measure NO2 anyway" argument compelling, then really we're all just talking about nothing.
A lot of our stuff gets shipped that way and it's terrible. The post office sits on packages forever and the tracking rarely updates once the real courier gives it to the post office. It's a super-econ way to ship so I think they just intentionally delay packages so they don't beat any of the other methods. I'm half-serious about that last part.

I've personally felt much better about giving people money with no strings attached than trying to do it as a loan. I did the latter twice, and it caused a huge rift.

This is other side of industrialized West, in East Europe typical to make fixes impossible in West.

For example, formally, services prohibited to solder anything on main board, they should only change board (module) for working one. In East Europe normal to solder even CPU.

Unfortunately, soldering quality is very depend on human, so I cannot guarantee success, but it may worth to try.

If you’re validating client url state against server session state that kind of defeats the purpose of trying to put all the state in the url.

You’re technically correct/sounds like you agree it’s still a bad idea, even if there’s a way to duplicate certain state for validation and make it work. Staying shackled to the earth via stupid rules of thumb like minimizing client state in banking apps does keep you from flying straight into the sun, though, which is nice.
First you have the product people. They make the product that people like and build a strong company off of a good product.

After the product people you have the marketing people come in. They don’t really know how to evolve the product, but they know how to sell it and generally they know not to mess with a good product and the company makes a lot of money and grow to the logical maximum of whatever product or services they offer.

Eventually the marketing people reach the limit and then the finance people come in. And this is when a company fully gets gutted. To the bean counters every thing is a bean. They look at the good successful product and think, “how can we make this cost less to make.” So they cut every corner they can to make numbers go up on a spreadsheet. At first this is okay, because it is just a few changes that aren’t that big of a deal, but 30 change later and customers notice and are irate and swear off the company forever.

Not satisfied they will usually cut internal costs too and all of the good employee will leave.

The company then sometimes brings back in a product person and rebounds or sells off to private equity.

> [...] and I enjoy listening to actual albums!

No, you don't. :) As Wikipedia says on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album :

> Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; [...]

What you are enjoy is some weird newfangled thing where they put the whole 'album' on a single disc. Kids these days! What will they invent next?

More context:

> With the advent of 78 rpm records in the early 1900s, the typical 10-inch disc could only hold about three minutes of sound per side, so almost all popular recordings were limited to around three minutes in length.[10] Classical-music and spoken-word items generally were released on the longer 12-inch 78s, playing around 4–5 minutes per side. For example, in 1924, George Gershwin recorded a drastically shortened version of his new seventeen-minute composition Rhapsody in Blue with Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra. The recording was issued on both sides of a single record, Victor 55225 and ran for 8m 59s.[11] By 1910, though some European record companies had issued albums of complete operas and other works, the practice of issuing albums was not widely taken up by American record companies until the 1920s.

> By about 1910, bound collections of empty sleeves with a paperboard or leather cover, similar to a photograph album, were sold as record albums that customers could use to store their records (the term "record album" was printed on some covers). These albums came in both 10-inch and 12-inch sizes. The covers of these bound books were wider and taller than the records inside, allowing the record album to be placed on a shelf upright, like a book, suspending the fragile records above the shelf and protecting them. In the 1930s, record companies began issuing collections of 78 rpm records by one performer or of one type of music in specially assembled albums, typically with artwork on the front cover and liner notes on the back or inside cover. Most albums included three or four records, with two sides each, making six or eight compositions per album.[7]

I was exploring the rocks at Joshua tree once. At high noon(worst possible time), in the summer and alone. After a while no matter which direction or routr I took it was just more rocks or the vast wide open desert. Luckily, I did read stories of how some guy died on a bulletin post somewhere in the park as well as a critical tip about eating lots of salty snacks. I ate up all the chips and pepperoni slices I had and finished all the bottles of water I had. It wasn't too long but eventually I found a parking lot/road. I always wonder what would have happened if I didn't read that post and just drank water.

Auckland's climate sounds like that of coastal northern California, where HRVs work fine. What's the concern you have with the dew point?

The HRV core will drop the humidity of the incoming air stream, at least that is what it does at my house (and it's been extremely wet of late in northern California).

I can confirm that our stove indeed does vent to the outdoors in the US. It is on an external wall and you can feel the air coming out when the vent fan is on. It is possible that in apartments the vents may only be filters and not external vents. That seems like a question for the building codes.
That article is from 2016 and prices have come down since then.

https://breakingdefense.com/2022/03/f-35-to-get-more-expensi...

The contract for lots 12-14, inked in 2019, included
478 F-35s for the US military and international
customers. Under the terms of the agreement, an
F-35A will cost $77.9 million in Lot 14, with the
F-35B short takeoff and landing variant coming in
at $101.3 million and the F-35C carrier variant at
$94.4 million during the same period.

Those prices are going up in the next lot due to inflation, but in inflation-adjusted dollars the price trajectory is generally downward.

That's still more expensive than an F-16, but it's also a more advanced plane. I think the relevant comparison isn't the F-16.... it's competing modern fighters like the Rafale, the Eurofighter, and the Gripen. And the F-35 is competing with and beating them on price.

(Direct price comparisons are impossible because of politics, hidden total cost of ownership concerns, government subsidies, etc. But... I've not heard it alleged that the F-35's cost is out of line with contemporaries)

I've recently stumbled upon a novel (to me) take.

I hadn't really considered this before, but I think there's a good chance they'll do something to increase their take-home if bitcoin becomes cheap enough relative to the mining reward that its security becomes threatened. Right now there are lots of people mining bitcoin at a paper loss due to speculation. If they go out of business after a few years, or are forced to sell because "number goes up" doesn't happen, there will be an exodus of mining power, which could then lead to the Bitcoin network being vulnerable to double spend attacks (these have already happened a number of time on networks with less hash power, like Ethereum Classic [not ethereum])

If double spends looked imminent, or started occuring, I think it would make sense to fork to increase the block reward. Of course, bitcoin has forked before and it becomes a political issue. Personally, the big block wars (and subsequent Bitcoin Cash split) was where I got off the Bitcoin train.

But if a fork happened, and the network that didn't adopt the higher block reward started getting 51% attacked, I do think people would move over to the new network (and that would become "bitcoin")
Okay?

But the expected value of that choice is positive (for the person making it), as evidenced by the people making it routinely.

> I know of a complex web app that has more than half a million entries in its yarn.lock file. Five. Hundred. Thousand. Dependencies (of dependencies of dependencies of...)

I can't say I've seen anything like that in practice. I don't know why the app has that many dependencies, or of an analogous mobile app of similar scale and complexity to the nameless example you've cherry picked.

> Because there's literally nothing on the web that is suitable for app development, and you have to build the entire world from scratch, one dependency at a time, every single time.

Bit exaggerated, but I take your point.

The point of TFA, if we go back to that, is that ideally more functionality should be folded into the browser to reduce this redundancy. The undermining of web browsers by vested interests is precisely what makes web apps insecure in the manner you've described. And here you are defending the status quo – so it's mission accomplished from the perspective of Apple and Google.

The unseen dependencies on any mobile device are the operating system libraries, which vary from vendor to vendor, and have far greater privileges than a web app.

> And of course npm audit fix will not fix it because in true npm fashion even a minor update can trigger cascading failures across large swaths of the code you didn't even know were pulled in.

I call `npm audit fix` quite regularly and without issue. If you let it go stale, you're going to spend quite some time upgrading everything, irrespective of package management system. Can't tell you how much time I've wasted on upgrades with Gradle/SPM/Cocoapods/Carthage. So my gut says unless you either haven't spent much time in the mobile app development world, or you're being a bit disingenuous to make your point.

They are describing a system that automatically creates a path for replacement air when the overhead extractor fan turns on, which is also achievable by opening a window.
