You can't explore seamlessly, engine limitation (basically Morrowind engine with layers upon layers of new features/fixes/bugs). You can land on a different spot and continue exploring. Whole exploration aspect is clearly heavily inspired by No Man's Sky, done a bit differently. Some aspects are way worse, some a better. Besteda has much bigger team and it shows (doesn't mean its that good, just there are many things to do). No Man's Sky turned out (eventually) fantastic for such small team.

Can someone enlighten me what's the actual use for this project? I can only imagine a student that wants to read some mundane stuff but their parents are watching so they pretend to study a scientific paper.

Anything else?
Bill Bryson talked about this in The Body; the tl;dr is that, yes, with the right scent, humans are as capable as dogs when it comes to tracking something down. The study he cited had humans on all fours, nose to the ground, searching out chocolate which had been moved across a field.

The unstated bit of this is that humans are probably less good at scent differentiation, which is another factor in olfactory "capability," but not strictly the same as the ability to track a scent (though you could argue that if you're more likely to follow a subtly wrong scent, you're less capable -- something not captured by the studies which have looked at this, I don't think).

The time limit of 1000 years is the worst part of this paper. If the energy consumption literally grows 2% every year, in 3013, the humanity will be consuming 3.98x10^8 times more energy than now. If it's really the case, the dissipation heat from the use of such a large amount of energy alone will kill us all, long before the tidal lock b/w the earth and the moon.
I'm one of those who wants a better desktop file system but have stayed away from ZFS (at least for the time being) due to stories about complexity.

Would you say that the defaults are sane enough for that kind of person (no real configuration needed)?
My answer was more about the general reason to do it. I agree in the specific instance of this article, which is why I gave a different example. I meant to point that out in the original post.

It's a mystery for me as well. It seems the author put quite some work in it, especially in the LaTeX template section, so surely there must be some use for it, I just fail to grasp it.

Actually it all have to do with aspiration, e.g a small puff of air coming out when saying the sound. Or in the case with ก , it is a k without any air coming out is probably the most accurate description but writing g is therefore closer then a real k that have aspiration. :) You can test this yourself with holding your hand in front of your mouth saying english k and then stop any air from coming out. There you have the correct sound for ก
The title tag on The Register article starts with "Microsoft blames outage on small staff, automation failures", so it is not something added by the submitter.
A lot of these suggestions are heavily opinionated. Which is not necessarily bad, but they seem to mess with existing conventions just for the sake of it (why {pool}:{dataset}?).

> Don't make me name [...] snapshots.

You might like this little tool I wrote: https://github.com/rollcat/zfs-autosnap

You put "zfs-autosnap snap" in cron hourly (or however often you want a snapshot), and "zfs-autosnap gc" in cron daily, and it takes care of maintaining a rolling history of snapshots, per the retention policy.

It's not hard writing simple ZFS command wrappers, feel free to take my code and make your own tools.
They should probably provide an official way of doing this with manual review.

Small as in few in number. Consider the phrase a “a large crowd”. Or its size if you take it as the aggregate size - I.e. population. That works too.
As an Aussie, yes the word "small" would indicate something about their stature. I would use the phrase "low staff numbers"
Actually, they had brand new broadband! My area was in a "rural fibre zone" and while I was there the local houses (including mine) went from satellite-only or tethering (which could be OK, sometimes, barely) or 1 Mbit DSL to 1Gbps fibre. It was pretty awesome.

>I wonder why =+ is so obviously a mistake

Consider

x = -5

now how about:

x =- 5

One makes x negative 5, the other subtracts 5 from it. And under this design of the operator the only difference is a space.

It's the same with +, just that we're not used to seeing unary plus in the wild.

No doubt AI is a powerful software tool. But as with any tool the level of danger is determined by those who control it and their motives. Naturally, if humans owners make it do bad stuff it will do bad stuff. Even a calculator or a kitchen tissue can do bad stuff in the wrong hands. Anthropomorphizing this type of non deterministic software ridicules their work a little bit because it shows the sleaziness of their marketing campaign in wanting to promote the product, all of which is centered around fear and theft. Usually that results in a well deserved backlash coming from those whom they want to hurt.
This looks great!

Not too familiar with those events. What do you mean with the last sentence?
I believe that’s “abstraction of electricity” in the U.K, Theft requires an intent to permanently deprive.

“Grand theft auto” is “taking without consent” in most of the U.K., although in Scotland it’s “taking and driving away”

It’s a sad sign of American cultural hegemony that GTA wasn’t called TADA.

Either way the amount of power abstracted from a cable signal is infinitesimal.
At this point, after dealing with AWS and Azure for the last decade, I concur. We had lower TCO, higher aggregate reliability, lower staffing costs and importantly far far fewer problems when we had two redundant datacentre cages.

I think our costs are around 7x what we had before with no material improvements.
My (uninformed) perception is that 30% of the (apparent) complexity of COBOL is due to its verbosity, some 40% of (self-inflicted) due to brainded/outdated APIs (wanna write a binary file? lol no, you have to pretend it's a report, because that's all people that wear a tie know) and the rest is due to you having 20 jobs stepping on each others toes in the same system instead of a consistent data path

So job 1 reads your data and does light processing (good) job 2 turns it into a CSV of weird codes and turns BCD straight into base-10 digits integers (huh), job 3 then reconverts this back and joins this with more DB data and finally saves that data (split into every 12 customers) into a file with a sequential file name based on week number and current time in US Central time zone (but the system is in Germany)

And that's what most of Alton's recipes are aimed at, not desperation dinners.

It's admittedly been years since I last watched Good Eats, but that is not how I remember it all. Almost everything he demonstrated was just as applicable when throwing together a quick pasta dish as it is to making a full 7 course dinner.
Is it theoretically possible to visualize wind currents by, like, shining UV-light (that diffracts strongly in the atmosphere)? Basically instead of putting smoke in the air, use the part of spectrum where all air is smoky.

You are probably right it was a raw deal for them, but likely there just isn't enough demand for a price point that would make this sort of project a good investment.

NMS provides continuity, and starfield does not. Very different experience. Clip-show of starfield ruins immersion a lot. As example, if you want to go from surface to space, in NMS you summon your ship, go inside, takeoff, fly. With starfield you just select destination, press X and you're there (even if destination is on other planet). At most you can teleport to your ship
As a native speaker that reads as: "Microsoft blames outage on small [number of] staff".

I'm not sure of the technical terms, but "staff" can both be the total mass of employees, and the individual employees.

"Small staff" means a small number of employees in the same way "small army" means a small number of soldiers.

Something, something countable vs uncountable nouns?
Discovered 18 years ago, reported this year doesn't mean that 18 years was spent in "digging up graves" - more probably 18 years 'marked for attention' with a recent 18 months or so of grad student work.

Why?

* Bodies likely needed moving to allow building | roads | something to use the ground.

* It adds evidence (real observation) to "History" (that which is recorded) - the church burials are all carefully logged (to a degree, names, date of birth, date of death, probable cause) - the unconsecrated grounds are unrecorded and "un Historic" (ie not written down).

* Common deformities indicate working habits, nutritional deficits, various diseases, etc. Knowledge of frequency od these things helps build up accurate pictures of slices of European life at various times and locations and add to a big picture.

I think the simple claim that TDD improves design isn't strictly true, and turns some people away from automated testing.

Never really heard this claim before ?
well actually documentation around that is still under construction (https://docs.keephq.dev/development/adding-a-new-provider) but adding a new integration (provider in our terms) to Keep is a piece of cake! happy to chat in our Slack (https://slack.keephq.dev) or over a zoom, what ever works for you :)
What are you talking about? What country in EU ?
Because for example here in CZ, there's a lot of firearms. But guess what, you must pay for a gun license and have a doctor examination with possibility of psych. evaluation, then a gun license exam is really hard also practice test of gun handling and shooting is pretty hard and not cheap.

So you will think twice to get it and you really don't want to loose it.
Basically turning gun owners into the most law abiding citizens there is.

If you're talking about countries like UK or similar, where you can't legally defend against attackers and biggest cities are controlled by gangs with kitchen knives and acid bottles. Even police don't have guns and can't arrest them, cuz racism or something.
GG EZ.
To this native speaker, the intended meaning was immediately obvious, but I agree, it is awkwardly phrased. Something like "inadequate staffing levels" would be much better.
There's no mechanical process from which blind adherence could produce good design without the author/engineer having experience or knowledge (or both).

It just stops bad design from setting in too easily - and even then, it's "easy" to workaround or apply the process incorrectly or too pedantically.
IT needs more brains, so why is it being such a zombie about getting them?
I have the top left button without modifiers remapped to esc, it's no problem at all. All your muscle memory works just fine, no retraining needed (UHK since 2018/2019, on of the first batches, and Vim user since late 1990's).

As a native speaker I find the phrase "small staff" to be quite awkward and I would avoid writing it.

I'll also note that it's totally standard for the theregister.com to have headlines that incorporate puns or colloquial language. In this case the original headlines has "slim staff" which is also awkward but has a different mental image :-)
I love making this and it is probably my favorite Thai dish. I got holy basil and red holy basil seeds off eBay just to save myself the trouble of finding fresh holy basil.

Tip #1 is get a mortar and pestle and make your own chili garlic paste using real thai chilis. Doing that seems to bless the dish with a pervasive but not overpowering heat.

Tip #2 is don't sweat it if you only have Italian or Thai basil. Sure it's not right but it's still delicious.

I prefer ground pork for the meat. It's delicious and insanely cheap.

A lot of restaurants will list this on the menu as "basil <meat(i.e. beef)> instead of some variant of "pad grapow".
Don’t. Measure (income - cost) instead. You are running a business after all.

I wonder why would they be. Skyrim also had pretty much samey dungeons. Same textures, same puzzle, and same route back from boss...

Why would new game be any different...
Came to say this, never heard this before. I have heard the claim that it improves quality, but even that is debatable. Im sure the most basic claim that can be proven is it often increases test coverage.
> thing that can protect aircraft completely would be hardened bunkers, but even a simple hangar might be better

Well I guess that Russians even don't have those hangars, or those hangars weren't maintained for so long, that it is more safe to risk a drone attack than risk random pieces of hangar falling on the plane. Getting back to Russia and maintenance.
> The main reason fuel is required to maintain speed on a flat surface is overcoming air resistance.

Yeah, 200 horsepower's worth.

Wind resistance at semi-truck highway speeds is very significant. Multiply the numbers here[0] by 9.5x to convert from BMW to Semi-Truck (accounts for increase in Cd and frontal area). So semi trucks might take on the order of 180hp at the wheel just to maintain speed. With drivetrain losses you'd need to be generating 200hp.

"There are certainly arguments for increased biodiversity, but food security doesn't appear to be one of them. "

Monocultures are not stable ecosystems and can only maintain their state of fertility through lots of chemicals which degrade the soil, which is not just material, but usually very much alive with all kinds of microorganism. So with more chemicals and newer, stronger herbicides and pesticides, the game can surely go on for quite a bit longer, but likely not in the long run.
Front-end Engineer seeking for a Job
Hi, I'm Temitope from Lagos, Nigeria. I am a software developer who has worked on various projects with developers from across the world using JavaScript, React, Redux, and Rails. I have also contributed to open source projects and mentored other aspiring developers in my community. My latest volunteering work was mentoring in the Google Africa Developer Scholarship Training Program.

I am passionate about staying healthy and productive. I exercise every morning to keep my body and mind in shape.

As a Technical Support Engineer at Microverse, an online school for remote developers, I uphold source code quality standards and conduct over 50 reviews per week of React, Rails, and UI elements. I also assist more than 1000 students in resolving coding errors and grasping technical concepts, using Github and Slack to provide timely responses and support.

Alongside my current role, I am a passionate web developer who has worked on various projects with developers from across the world. I have a BSc in Economics from the University of Lagos, and I have completed courses on Data Structures and Algorithms, Soft Skills, and Google Africa Developer Training. I have also built over 40 projects using different tech stacks, such as HTML5/CSS3, JS, React/Redux, Ruby on Rails, and Firebase. Some of my projects include BareFoot Mechanic, a car repair appointment app, and Recipe-app-rails, a recipe and inventory management app.

I am looking for an opportunity in Web Development anywhere in the world with the opportunity to make an impact. I have extensive knowledge and experience in front-end and back-end development, styling, testing, and deployment, as well as professional skills such as remote work, pair programming, mentoring, and teamwork. You can check out my latest projects at https://www.topeleye.com/, my GitHub repo at https://github.com/topeogunleye, or reach me at topeogunleye1@gmail.com or by DMing me here on LinkedIn.

Snooze 5 alarms, shut 3 alarms off, glass of water, toilet pitstop, shower, second toilet pitstop just in case, get dressed, kiss family, out of the door.

Political opinions matter when they affect your daily life. For instance, after the Dobbs decision last year, Texas passed an anti-abortion law which made it illegal to terminate pregnancies even when the fetus had no chance of survival and continued pregnancy was a mortal risk to the mother. This was finally changed last month, but the situation persisted for over a year. For women at high risk of miscarriage (for instance, my sister-in-law who moved to Texas and has previously had a miscarriage), their neighbours' political opinions could actually kill them.

Perhaps it's an American thing because the American political system has resulted in a complete lack of common-sense legislation; but it's absolutely justified.

(My background here: I'm an American living in the UK. I've been consistently surprised by the number of common-sense laws and regulations that are supported by even conservatives, or if not supported, are not immediately repealed once conservatives gain power.)
> Where does it say that?

Well, the Terms of Use[1] in force at the time make it pretty clear:

> By creating a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, you as the Project Creator are offering the public the opportunity to enter into a contract with you.

And later on, it suggests backers should expect rewards promised or their money back:

> Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill.

Obviously you and I know better than to expect these to happen, but lets not pretend like everyone participating should have known they were bearing equity-like risk.
