There were two strains of "Puritans" in England. The Pilgrims believed that the Church of England was unredeemable and preferred to establish their own community somewhere else where they wouldn't be persecuted anymore. They (well some of them) first moved to the Netherlands and later to America.

Non-separatist Puritans who remained in England or moved to Massachusetts wanted to "reform" the Church of England instead of establishing their own. They later won the civil war and established a religious dictatorship (well obviously that's grossly oversimplified and there were many other groups besides the puritans which took part in that)...

The Plymouth colony was established by the separatists/Pilgrims while most non-separatist Puritans went to New England. The ones in Plymouth were a bit more tolerant (e.g. they didn't hang Quakers like the Puritans in Massachusetts did, only fined then and stripped them of their civil rights, so I guess that's something...)
I haven't, mostly because none of my front end web projects feel large/complex enough to justify the extra overhead (probably wouldn't even be using TypeScript if it were any more involved than running `tsc --watch` in a terminal window). Might look into it for future projects though.
Regardless of what future license they apply to content, what they need to do first is release an OGL 1.0b which contains "irrevocable" and ensure it is applied to all current 1.0a content as this was the original intention of the OGL [1]. Then they can release any 1.1 they want.

[1] There was a published FAQ from WotC (copy available at https://www.rpglibrary.org/articles/faqs/ogl.php) saying:

> 7. Can't Wizards of the Coast change the License in a way that I wouldn't like?

> Yes, it could. However, the License already defines what will happen to content that has been previously distributed using an earlier version, in Section 9. As a result, even if Wizards made a change you disagreed with, you could continue to use an earlier, acceptable version at your option. In other words, there's no reason for Wizards to ever make a change that the community of people using the Open Gaming License would object to, because the community would just ignore the change anyway.

where section 9 of OGL 1.0a says:

> 9. Updating the License: Wizards or its designated Agents may publish updated versions of this License. You may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed under any version of this License.
I wonder if it's too little too late. All WotC really has going for it at this point is the D&D name and player goodwill, and they just shot the latter out of a cannon into the sun. DMs and PCs alike have already shown their willingness to migrate over to alternative D&D-like systems.

And moreover Paizo et al know they have no reason to trust WotC not to try this again as soon as people get complacent. I'm sure they won't back down, and are going to go full steam ahead with their scheme to sidestep WotC, not unlike Valve working around Microsoft's boneheaded Windows decisions with SteamOS and Proton.

Also, hiding behind "we want to prevent discriminatory content" is a pretty shameful attempt to salvage their image by appealing to the zeitgeist. The hobby has become so inclusive the last decade or so, more than I ever would have imagined.
The problem with that, at least for the seemingly-dumb models of the present day, is that "the AI is secretly far smarter than it acts" is pretty much unfalsifiable. I could just as easily say that all boulders speak fluent Spanish, they're just deceiving us into thinking they're unintelligent rocks. Personally, I'd wait for some sign that models might actually possess the theory of mind necessary for deception before I'd lose any sleep over it.
You seem to really hate the single menu… How often are you interacting with the menus of multiple applications simultaneously?
Yeah, I guess all those groundlings standing around eating oranges and laughing at the dirty jokes at the Globe Theater in Shakespeare's day just didn't exist in this guy's universe.
But they won't. Once AIs become advanced enough to be useful, humans will be removed from the loop wherever it becomes profitable to do so. Even before then, it will be attempted just because the potential reward is worth the risk. That's the entire goal of automation through AI, both in terms of centralizing the capture of value and distributing risk. Who do you blame when a fully autonomous AI corporation commits tax fraud? Who do you put in jail? Certainly not a person.
> Strava has turned into a social media and comparison platform

Always has been that way; that's the whole idea of Strava (or Komoot, RideWithGPS, etc). These platforms are for casuals.

> Ironically some of the highest performing endurance athletes I know don't even use it anymore. TrainingPeaks + Garmin is where it's

Always been this way as well (TrainingPeaks/TrainerRoads). These platforms are for training and improving performance. Garmin is Garmin... majority of endurance athletes wear Garmin devices (or Suntoo).

Having said that, it's easy to upload to multiple platforms so they all treat Strava or other social media as brand awareness.
I think this is an easy conclusion to reach in this context of a licensing discussion but no player is going to, in the usual context, open a book they've never heard of and think all of the ridiculous rules were put there to avoid copyright issues.
It's a huge shakeup to human models of what is important. ChatGPT is so good at blithering without requiring any underlying model of what it is writing about. What people thought was profound - isn't.

ChatGPT output is often so absurdly verbose it becomes tiring to try and make sense of the text (when the text makes sense in the first place). The effort we're willing to put into big swaths of text is already low, and I fear ChatGPT will only make it worse.
> Floating point is amazingly useful! There's a reason why it's implemented in hardware in all modern computers and why every programming language has a built-in type for floats.

I completely agree with you even though I go out of my way to avoid FP, and even though, due to what I usually work on, I can often get away with avoiding FP (often fixed point works -- for me).

IEEE-754 is a marvelous standard. It's a short, easy to understand standard attached to an absolutely mind boggling number of special cases or explanation as to why certain decisions in the simple standard were actually incredibly important (and often really smart and non-obvious). It's the product of some very smart people who had, through their careers, made FP implementations and discovered why various decisions turned out to have been bad ones.

I'm glad it's in hardware, and not just because FP used to be quite slow and different on every machine. I'm glad it's in hardware because chip designers (unlike most software developers) are anal about getting things right, and implementing FP properly is hard -- harder than using it!

Where are they making up that subsidy? Lower maintenance costs seems to be a key selling point for EVs, so I’d imagine it’s not that.
Not that I expect many people are doing total cost of ownership calculation, but even with a higher upfront cost, EVs have a lot of cost benefits with much less maintenance and fuel costs. You do spend more on tires though.

Tesla seems to be making bets in huge volumes of cars sold.

Possibly with their manufacturing decisions (a couple of really big plants making only a couple of varieties of models, with the models not changing much from year to year) they'll be driving unit costs way down such that they can reduce their sales price and keep their margins.

If it's a bad bet they're sitting on a lot of stranded manufacturing assets. If it's a good bet they'll look pretty smart.

Their unit prices have historically had pretty dynamic pricing both up and down, though in the past 18-24 months it's mostly been up.

I trust their domain expertise. I don't trust their incentives. Success in academia seems to be largely based on making bold claims (sometimes through questionable statistics applied to questionable research methods). And Avi Loeb is definitely demonstrating this desire because he literally wrote and sold a book on Amazon based on his views and it's quite successful and popular.

Also let's just apply some common sense: Oumuamua is traveling at 315,000 km/hr. It came from the direction of Vega, which is 25 light years away. A light year is 9.46 trillion kilometers. That's 3,428 years of travel time to reach us. It doesn't make sense to me that an alien presence capable of traveling for 3,428 years straight would be doing so at a speed that slow and would pass so close to us but also not interact with us at all.

Also if we're going to appeal to authority: the academic community consensus is that it's a natural object. Avi Loeb is in the very small minority to suggest it isn't, and most people actively disagree with him.

The website does nothing to sell the games. The homepage contains a single title card for each one, and the more in depth page shows the title card with a one paragraph description and three vague tags. Compare it to steam, where each of these games would have a page with videos, screenshots, and a lengthy write up.

I find it hard to believe many people will sign up to play eleven games they've never heard of and know next to nothing about. More likely, they'll search for one of the games to get more information, find the steam store, and consider buying it there easier than signing up to a new platform.

You're shifting the goalpost here. You said:

> C is not a simple language

In response to the claim that:

> I’m not trying to crap on C++, but for a low-level language, the simplicity of C is simply unmatched!

C is simpler than C++, for the reasons I outlined above. This has no correlation on how correct the code is or if it works. If you want to argue that, go ahead but that's a different argument.

> But hey, it's apparently more important to know it's a memcpy than to know it works! Such simplicity! I'm so glad a built-in operator has just no expectations of being useful or correct, what a truly wonderful language.

Great, you can be facetious all you want, it doesn't add or detract to your claim that C is not simple in comparison to C++.

And by the way, I use C++ and prefer it to C. I love the fact that you can use templates in C++ for type safety when it comes to generic containers and use destructors to help with resource management etc. But let's not kid ourselves, C is simpler than C++ and trying to argue against that is pointless.
We just switched from LastPass to Bitwarden at work and as I use Bitwarden for my personal stuff, I need to use browser profiles for separate Bitwarden extensions. Before I had been using Firefox containers to separate my work browsing from my personal browsing. It's really minor but the way Chrome handles profiles made me switch back after 3-4 years on Firefox.
I have encountered a mix of several weird bugs and breaking changes with gulp, webpack, rollup and what ever Nextjs uses. Also build related bugs with several popular libraries and the resulting versioning and dependency issues. NPM has disappointed me in similar ways at least a couple of times too. Babel is its own hell.

Basically touching a JS project that hasn't been updated monthly is incredibly anxiety inducing.

And now there are several new build tools since a relatively short while, which makes the issue even worse. They might be improvements in some dimensions but they all invent their own little world again, promising this or that. But it all sounds so familiar and I already lost trust.

Similarily, it should not be too hard to implement checkmate. If, on your move, any of the opponent pieces can capture your king and this remains true wherever the king moves, you're mated. Should only require overlap detection between linear and circular swept discs. EDIT: Ok, a bit more complex than that, but still doable I think. Find a point on the king movement lines that are at least one radius away from the union of the capture areas.

You would also not be allowed to move the king anywhere where the opponent can capture it.
> he usefulness of people telling what they will be doing or what problems they are facing at the moment is that they might not know there is somebody else in the team that can help them solve this problem very quickly.

I have worked on teams of chickens running around with their heads cut off before. While that is one way to try and rein them in, would you not be better served by moving away from making and instead towards engineering?

> I also like to think it puts a little bit of pressure on people to get something done so they can show some progress on the next standup.

From experience, initially it does. But soon you realize that when you're racing the clock you end up taking shortcuts (introducing bugs, making poor design decisions, not properly documenting your work, etc.) that will harm you and your team later.

Appearances aren't worth sacrificing the company over. It is far better to be seen as a poor employee than to be seen as the superhero of a failed business.
This actually sounds like a great way to hide from most of Google's influence; thanks!

edit: My main interest is whether or not this blocks Googlebot.
For this to be true, we'd had to assume sentience + malevolence. The shortest explanation for why an AI give us correct data currently is a range of confidence. We instructed it to pick the one with the highest number. We instructed it to give us a similar next data etc. We reinforced it, yes, but we'd have to be naive to believe that taking a small part of what makes something "intelligent" and training the shit out of it, then it actually turns intelligent. chatGPT is "just" a large language model, it does not have senses, it cannot move, it cannot live and die. It can only output text. The next gen will output text (maybe) exponentially better. That does not make it "intelligent".
But, if we'd combine it with Boston Dynamics, Tesla Autopilot, internet, quantum computing, nano tech and other specifically trained parts (movement, sensing etc) into one, and release it into the world to see what it does, then your argument could (maybe)have a higher confidence of the outcome you fear.

And since RAII applies to variables the same is true in c++, unless you pretend to write C.

Except the type of a stack allocated object is known at compile time and ctors and dtors are part of that type. For operators you can also generally see from the type if they are overloaded and possibly virtual even if you are not dealing with directly stack allocated objects.
