>A huge time-saver has been reading the article versions of stuff that has been turned into a book. You get the same points, but in minutes instead of hours.

This culture is hugely detrimental. You simply cannot in-depth absorb knowledge about anything in minutes. This isn't how the brain works. Churning through dozens of articles and spending small amounts of time with each one will leave you with no recollection of any of it in a year. It's not a serious way to learn.

Unless we're talking about promotional campaign books or something of similarly low quality, non-fiction books elaborate on things at length for a reason. Details, motivations and nuances matter. And you don't get that out of a Sparknotes summary. You will not really get what an author wants to say without spending time with his or her work. It takes people years to truly grok and write down what they want to teach, you're not going to learn it in an hour.
Not particularly, there's very little justification for running copper to new houses given we're in a nationwide rollout of fibre and there's a big cost saving to moving entirely to fibre.
Yes. I had a bug report last year to deal with this due to the url being cut off in the browser with Ajax GET requests. I converted to a POST request which has no length limitations.
Some friends of mine started their own RPG decades ago. They have built up long branches of history/lore, star charts, a dozen or so species, several factions disputing territory, weapons, vehicles, armor classes, dozens of attributes per character, mysterious artifacts, magic, etc. and art to go along with most of it.

It's the only RPG I have played more than a handful of times. RPGs are a labor of love, friendship, and fun: no more, no less.
You'd be incorrect. On the order of years.
Well then, I stand corrected :P
Start your own company and you can run it as you wish.

Also, then you'll be on the other side of the table. You'll start complaining that employees can quit on a whim, while it's impossible to get rid of them when you need to.

EDIT: especially Goldman employees! You really think they're not mercenaries in suits who wouldn't go across the street just for a $10K raise?
Wonderful, let's make new homes even more expensive!
And to those who are downvoting this, every building code requirement like this jacks up the price further. Not everyone is a SWE with a TC of $250k+ you over privileged ninnies.
Simple: let's say your house is fitted with a gigabit connection but the infrastructure sill isn't there. this means that when the infrastructure comes you will have to do zero work on your house. no changing of wires, no breaking the walls, no wasting everyone's time.

I don't have a 10Gb/s switch at home, but I still use Cat6 so when I upgrade I won't have to crawl around my house to change everything
> Not for services loading specific URLs due to (sometimes indirect) user requests.

A crawler has a list of resources it periodically checks to see if it changed, and if it did, indexes it for user requests.

Contrary to this totally-not-a-crawler, with its own database of existing resources, that periodically checks if anything changed, and if it did, caches content and builds chescksums.
The $12 one works great until the thermal fuse blows for no reason. Luckily it's easy to fix with a soldering iron.

I've been doing pour-overs for a couple years now. I am always amused when I get LinkedIn messages from coffee brewing startups looking for embedded firmware engineers!
But they don't need to update the license they use, right? So the other games can just issue their existing and current material with the existing license and it's all good?
Vulkan Video Decoding
This seems like an interesting way for hacking whatever has a USB port. It is affordable, easy to use.
I think this might interest any kid that wants to be remembered forever by hacking his school or university.
Surely that's something that Apple should fix, rather than everyone else working around it?
Gigabit over DOCSIS won't be symmetrical any time soon, but it's still gigabit internet.

Not all homes are hooked up to fiber, sadly, although especially in new homes you'd really hope they'll be.
> Why did Paizo use a license not designed by them?

Why would they when there's a well-known and (before recent events) fully trusted license already established within the community?
> Why did Paizo use a license not designed by them?

Lawyers cost money.

> And if they did a full rewrite, are they under any obligation at all to Wizards of the Coast?

The theory is that they are not.

> If they used the OGL to allow third-parties for Pathfinder, not D&D, what does this have to do with WotC?

People point out that the PF2 works have OGL licenses.

I'm sure we'll all find out in the coming weeks/months
The biggest anti-Buddhist scripture has to be most Hindu scriptures and leaders around the same time or after Buddha who warns against impersonal worship of meditating on "nothingness" but instead to build a relationship with God. We are outward looking creatures given 5 senses, we aren't supposed to "blunt" them instead engage them but for a higher purpose.
Is paying for your own fiber install common? I'm in a mid-90's home in the US and AT&T just recently decided they wanted to enter our market with Fiber and will install free of charge with no contract to whoever wants to switch. Certainly no easy task, but I understand that homes/infrastructure outside of the US can also be significantly older.
Thanks! Hadn't heard of Unpoly. Maybe Django is the way...
That's just ridiculous. Most public beaches are perfectly safe.
unfortunately espresso lasts all of 30 seconds and while it tastes great, i make coffee while working to last longer and "keep me company" for some amount of time - espresso simply doesn't do that
I imagine the logic was that someone at Hasbro saw Critical Role, Dimension 20, etc making millions and felt it was "unfair" they're not getting any money.

But there's a quote attributed to Bill Gates that feels relevant here: "A platform is when the economic value of everybody that uses it, exceeds the value of the company that creates it."

DnD is a platform now. That's really cool for them, and long term will benefit them a ton, even if they aren't able to "optimize" their revenue right now.
> Why do we not crowdfund some excellent game designers to make a truly open set of RPGs?

Why are you waiting for someone else to do this? Do it yourself!

Something that bothers me more than most things is when people demand others act to solve a growing problem. Sure, you're not the most qualified person to do it, but actual execution trumps qualifications every time.

Get out there! Get in touch with some excellent game designers, ask them what it would take to get their help. Come up with a plan based on their feedback and execute it!

Or at least if you're not going to do it, recognize that your reasons for not doing it are probably exceedingly similar to everyone else's reasons for not doing it, and stop asking the question.
> You don't need 500x coverage, trust me, please learn to design your experiments

Maybe you don't need 500x coverage, and if you don't, then I'm glad you're not sequencing to that depth. But please don't tell other people they're doing something wrong when you don't understand their use cases.

Making the blanket statement that 500x coverage is generally not needed for any experiment is patently false.

I've built clinical liquid biopsy tests where it was a QC failure if particular sites of interest were under 5000x coverage. Sequencing such sites to only 500x coverage would be a waste of everybody's time, because it would be impossible to gain meaningful results from so little data.
I already live in this society. Back in '02 I was fired for opposing the Iraq war. Before that people were fired for being communists. The only way to prevent this is to allow employees to sue their employers if they get fired for no good reason, and the right calls that socialism.
robots.txt was originally created to include such bots. That they think they don't need to respect it goes against the original intent.

Lots of logs can be replaced by metrics. People go crazy with logs.
I've never read it or seen it performed. So I read the synopsis in Wikipedia; it's such a desperately sad story I can't imagine having it as a favourite however well done it might be.

The synopsis reads almost as though written by Sophocles two thousand years earlier.

It's not an easy answer; I'm not sure I have an answer. I'd say for now, a government photo ID and supporting paper documentation. Not foolproof, and there is a chicken/egg problem there, but at the same time it's much harder to exploit remotely, and its much harder to exploit at any kind of scale.

When I apply for rentals I just went to my online banking and took a screenshots of the deposits.

Yes.

Different problems require different solutions.

Sometimes, an NN would be overkill.

And stakeholders in many situations would like insights why the prediction is what it is. NNs are miles behind LogReg in terms of interpretablity.
Yeah, I guess that ensuring foreign actors can't publicly dump massive amounts of data on an arbitrary number of american citizens to be used in economic warfare definitely doesn't fall under any mandates that the US government has...
Enterprise-grade leased lines typically make you pay at least part of the install cost.
Yes, instant is the choice of the patrician.
After reading this and your response to a sibling comment I wholeheartedly disagree with you on both the specific definition of the word crawler and what the "main purpose" of robots.txt is, but glad we can agree that Google should be doing more to respect rate limits :)
Magician is not a class in D&D
> How important is it to stick to the D&D franchise?

Nor very important in my experience. I get that it's the most popular system globally, but the popularity seems uneven. Where I grew up people played Warhammer, Legends of 5 rings, vampire masquerade, and some others. I can't remember anyone playing DnD specifically. So... there are larger communities that don't really care about that one.
Do you tolerate a lot of grounds in your coffee, or use a really course grind? I like the result of a French press except for all the grounds.
Raylu| Founding Software or ML engineer role| Remote or NYC
We're hiring founding Software Engineers and ML Engineers at Raylu.

Another trick is to search the book title on youtube. There is a fair chance the author wants to promote the book and delivers the entire message in one hour speech in their own words instead of in hundreds of fluffed pages in the book. You can decide if you would like the buy book after watching the video.
Not directly related to the topic but how is it that Threema is the only popular secure messenger where you have a random ID to give to people to communicate with and not a phone number (Signal) or have your name show up across all your contacts / groups (Telegram)?
Also keep in mind the idea that the loudest percentages are not usually representative.

Just because it seems like everyone is leaving WotC properties doesn't mean they actually are.

I was doing this a year ago. Now I'm redoing it. In my case, what I missed is that if the app is complex enough you should treat the deployer like a separate product.

Different teams might want to use it for different things, deploy different versions with it, etc. So it should be in a separate repo with its own tests and its own version string. Otherwise iterating on it is hell because you're doing so in a space that's ergonomic for app development, not deployer-tool development.

That way when your deploy target changes (goodbye helm, hello custom k8s operator), your users can keep using the stable deployer version while you work on the new one.

Following that, switching between the old way and the new way becomes an atomic action, which makes it much easier to triage issues of the "it worked with the old way but breaks with the new way" sort.

Or at least... I hope that's what I missed. Because if not I'll be reredoing it next year.
Instead of what?

Everything comes instead of something else. Whatever effort and resources are spent adding gigabit to new homes will mean fewer homes, less food, shoes, medicine, natural gas, cars or whatever.

Many people will be celebrating faster internet speeds for those who purchase these new homes, but it's hard to see what goes missing when it's a little here and there from across the economy.
It does take two to tango, but this response is frustrating to me because it illustrates the lack of ethics/expectations in the design profession/community. (I am also a designer)

Companies create the problems the features purport to solve, not the market. Yadda yadda faster horse quote, but it's true: people don't ask for (or need) much … so where does the divergence come from?

To designers: Why do we allow such rubbish to be created? We know we can't put up too much fuss or we'll be worked around or replaced … by another designer who will willingly turn the crank for the biscuit. How do we not have more to push back with?
> This law feels like it was written by someone who wanted to do anything except pay for it.

This sentences feels like it was written to defend companies that want to reap profits from massively profitable areas, but systematically avoid investing in upgrading service in less profitable areas.

Where self-regulation falls short of serving the public interest, government regulation kicks in. Well done UK!
It's likely that Hasbro and WOTC are betting on the threat of litigation being a meaningful deterrent from actually seeing whether their attempts to retroactively nullify 1.0 holds up.

In general, I agree. I think we're seeing a "hobby" community freak out when the owners of the brand turn away from the "ideals" of the hobby in question. This mainly effects people who are making money using the DnD brand. Something that Hasbro owns. Whether they also own the past of that brand, and can alter its licensing, seems like the real ambiguity that Hasbro are hiding behind the curtain.
Well, the GPL doesn't put organizations that choose that license at the mercy of the FSF. The FSF isn't a business competing with the organizations that choose the GPL. The FSF also cannot change the rules of the license a posteriori.

The OGL doesn't look much like the GPL. Wizards of the Coast is a business in direct competition to others using the OGL. It's also crazy that something under the OGL falls in WotC's jurisdiction even if it uses no rules or settings from D&D -- I must have misunderstood this because this is simply too crazy to be true.
Yep, it doesn't need to be treated as a utility, there just needs to be competition. Our Xfinity internet was locked at 150 Mbps for years until the local DSL provider (Centurylink) rolled out gigabit fiber. Suddenly Xfinity started offering gigabit also.

Capitalism doesn't work if the market is captured by rent-seekers. Unfortunately this describes most American industries these days.
I'm a big fan of asynchronous design, though more as a spectator than

I totally agree. Go low tech or get a real Italian (style) espresso machine for a few thousand dollars. But only if making coffee is your hobby. Otherwise low tech is good enough, there are so many ways to make good coffee without a machine (cold brew, french press, manual filters, Turkish coffee, …)

I thought that Pathfinder 2e was much like software development: The latest commit in a branch which has OGL 1.0 at its root.

Does OGL 1.1 mean that /all/ branches are affected?
I think GP's point is less about breaking or sustaining suspension of disbelief, or technical limitations themselves, and more about costs. Once the Terminator loses its human skin, the (then) relatively cheap actor is replaced by a prop that's (then) stupidly expensive to animate. Deciding to do it earlier would likely force the movie to look entirely different at least from that point on.

Such considerations were a major driver of how sci-fi in general was done up until early 2000s. With TV shows, a lot of the tropes and patterns of sci-fi, particularly around how the aliens look and behave, boil down to the fact that about the only way to make non-grotesque aliens without breaking bank was to glue prosthetics to the actors and apply tons of makeup. The writing was thus constrained by what the makeup department could handle.

He said "don't expect a pi 5 next year [2023]". In my optimistic mind that's because he wants to maintain the surprise. I know this is foolish, I know the background of his statement, but I'm going to keep the faith for something in Q3. Maybe it'll be a 4+ instead.
1. There are several implementations of Zstandard other than the "reference" libzstd that we maintain, tagged as "Ports" in the table here [0]. You are of course welcome to create or fork your own. We will happily take a PR adding yours to the table.

2. The format spec is an RFC [1]. It's frozen. We're not going to pull the rug out from under you somehow (and why would we??).

3. I think we do a pretty good job accepting contributions. But again, if we aren't, you can always fork it.

All in all, we've worked pretty hard to make zstd universal--portable, stable, flexible, robust, etc. I guess I don't really have a point... I guess I hope you reconsider your rejection of zstd? It's pretty cool.

The US is plenty dense for hsr. The population is highly concentrated on a few regions. For example, a single trunk line from Vancouver/Seattle/Portland/SF/LA/SD would cover, what, 40 million people?

A similar trunk from Boston through to Florida would cover another 100 million.

These are absolute no-brainers. Obviously people going from Boston to Miami may still choose to fly, but all the destinations point to point between will be much faster by rail.

The best time to start doing this was 50 years ago, but now is also a good time.

I think every company I know of with private Go modules (6-8 or so?) is running a module proxy, which will detect this. The several times we've detected this it's always been within 2-3 days of the upstream mistake. When I go to report a bug we're not always the first either.
I forget the name of the effect, but it's the one where the background may have images that move at different rates as the page scroll increases.

Over the years I've seen many, many terrible implementations of that effect with JavaScript.

The correct and highly performant way to do that is using perspective. It's an effect that can be done entirely in css.

I can sell you a nifty cave, and I'll throw in my top-of-the-line 56k modem for free if you want to avoid the price jackups.
Only for small projects. However, I do use it for some of my bigger projects.

`useWatch` will cause a re-render every time `set` is used on the watched key. If used wisely, you can trigger re-renders on demand, and use `get` for other data you need.

In future, I plan on making another hook that only re-renders if data has changed.
The fastest option available might be 5G cellular modem. From a builder’s perspective, it’s probably also the cheapest.

> 29.2 TWh of reduction of Russian coal imports, vs 12.2 TWh increase of Russian gas imports.

> The Energiewende made Germany less dependent on Russia than if it had never taken place!

This is moronic, a total apples to oranges comparison. First, coal is much cheaper than gas, so whatever they were paying for Russian coal doesn't necessarily cancel out the gas increase. Second, coal is way easier to transport than gas. The latter needs a pipeline or liquefaction, both of which require extensive capital outlays that make it much more difficult to switch from one supplier to another. Third, coal and nuclear are both base load, while natural gas is used as peakers. The entire argument for nuclear over renewables was that renewables would require more peakers (i.e., gas).
For sure, the Buddhist majority oppression of the Muslim minority in Myanmar is a niche comparative/inter-religious fact and not something that has been on the world news. Sarcasm.
