> live TV with a much much better image quality and without cable's delay

Depends. In our area they have split the digital signal so many times to carve out additional subchannels (10.1,10.2,10.3, etc) that the effective bitrate is now pretty dang low.

When watching football, the channel may only be delivering 720p, and with tons of compression artifacts to boot.
Now apply the same logic to currency. What is the combined value of thirteen shillings and ten farthings? Simple, it's 317 halfpennies, or £317/480. It's much easier to deal with than a more difficult calculation like $0.25 + $0.37 = $0.62.

If you like the theme and ideas of the game but are looking for more of a pure strategy, win or lose by the rules sort of experience check out "dungeon crawl board games". Gloomhaven is the most popular of these, with Jaws of the Lion being a better/smaller introduction built on the same system.
'The future' has been with us for a while. There are so many 6"-13" ereaders. I've got a 13" one and it's awesome for PDFs. That said, I could definitely use Palma for regular novels as you say. My 13" ereader is pretty much a couch device, it might as well not have a battery because I'm always near a plug. Whenever I travel, I just think "naah" and downlad novels on my regular smartphone.

There's definitely a market for small, phone-shaped ereaders.
That used to be the case couple years back. Now they are bringing ads to these streaming services. And you have 10 different streaming services what you need to buy separately. Soon there will be bundling streaming service and we are back to cable tv pricing and ads.
Yeah, you make a good point. Definitely something I've thought about. When I started working on Diceright, DnD Beyond hadn't even been acquired by Wizards yet, so a lot has changed in relatively short time. That being said, they recently released an alpha of their 2d tabletop and there really wasn't much there. I assume it will get a lot better though.
Still, it was a tough call on what to focus on as DnD really is a huge player in roleplaying games. A smaller slice of DnD users still might be larger than a bigger slice of another game.
In the end, DnD is the game I know the most and the one I love. So I decided to do what I thought would be the most fun.

Funny. In many recreational sports at the low level, there's a similar sort of effect. You can just be better by always choosing to reach for the ball.

I've noticed something a lot of successful people do is they always operate at that level. I only do when I'm feeling good: well-rested, ate recently, stress levels moderate.

But I've practised at it and I'm getting better. For things you care about, it's always worth taking the shot.
If you dislike them, check out the SponsorBlock extension, which will skip in-video ads. While you're at it, also get DeArrow, which chooses a random frame as the thumbnail and allows community written titles that accurately describe the videos.
The article doesn't disagree - "That's more success than most companies could ever hope for, but still a bit of a shorter throw than an urban renaissance."
I sent a connection request about an hour ago. I didn't see anything about a limited number of requests.
It is literally in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article:

People's democracy is a theoretical concept within Marxism–Leninism and a form of government which developed after World War II and allows in theory for a multi-class and multi-party democracy on the pathway to socialism.
The NYT is an apparatus of the intelligence agencies, and coincidentally military recruitment is down ... this is subliminal advertisement for recruitment. Coupled with war in Ukraine and incoming war in the Middle east, in addition to new recruiting tactics (https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/10/03/army-unveils-...), expect to see alot more praise of the DoD/Military in MSM outlets like the NYT.
More suburban sprawl is not the answer. We're already seeing what happens when you build into fire areas, doing more of that is insanity. We should just fix our cities to meet the bare minimum of peer countries like Canada.

Mexico is significantly better at cities than CA. Fucking Guatemala has better urbanism.
Hombre, are you me?

>> you turn in the code, close the ticket, and you're expected to immediately work on the next ticket.

Yes. That's me. And then I crash.

I used to call in sick when I go from heroically solving something unsolvable to start work on a new ticket. Then O thought, this is not sustainable. My boss is all over me for all of my sick time.

So then I started to just say to my manager, hey, Mgr, amma gonna flex this whole Monday. Don't call me. Don't frakkin even think about me. Back on Tuesday, we cool?

Turns out, we were cool.

Whenever someone requires from you to be a hero, don't. Or be that guy, then take a Monday off.

For what it's worth I do have the Caseta line and it is by far and away the most reliable part of my smart home setup. If it were possible I'd be powering everything with it but sadly the only way to get e.g. fans integrated is to buy one of a very small set of fans with Caseta functionality built in. So instead I have pico remotes talking to Home Assistant talking to the fans which... mostly works. But the Caseta part itself has been flawless.
It matters because it shows that the palestinians / arabs are the colonizers. They are the ones who are seeking to displace natives.
Your 3rd point is valid even we ran into the same problem of where will my notes go. And to that, we have thought of doing the IdeaBook app in such a way that it will work for both two sets of users
(1) who prefer creating groups and then writing notes to particular groups
(2) who likes to dump all their notes in one place without thinking about which group to choose.
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it.
> A lot of 12 factor sounds like common sense to people who regularly ship stuff.

In 2023, yes. A lot of the 12 factor methodologies became table stakes in the modern cloud era. Back when this was written "cloud" was not nearly as ubiquitous as it is now, although we were certainly headed in that direction. A lot of the comments here are viewing this through a 2023 lens and forgetting it was written in 2011.
Hue just decided to start requiring an online account even for local control; I used to think they were the best option, but now I'd recommend avoiding them (even if you don't care about a needless account, consider that this most likely is step 1 to adding fees)
My guilty pleasure have been the Roku Digital Channels. They have channels that are just a 24 hour feed of MST3K, or Cook's Illustrated, or How It's Made, or Antiques Roadshow. Just to turn on some background while I am making dinner or working on a project has been enjoyable, commercials and all.
The point is to create a totalitarian EU. Obviously.
Two scenarios where this breaks:

* parent process is killed after it issues `waitpid` syscall. The child continues to happily execute while the parent is dead.

You can question, or you can do the A/B test yourself and no longer have it as a question. Sure, they've sub-divided their bandwidth, but their flagship station still receives much more bandwidth than your cable provider.

Just do the Amazon rental for a weekend. If you don't like it, return it. You'll see the difference.

I 100%, absolutely sympathize with the opening there. The situation really sucks to a surprisingly great extent. At the same time though, it has to be stated that going for a 'dumb, simple' Smart Lights really, really misses an enormous amount of the potential value. Nearly 100% of my smart home is about lights for now using just Philips Hue/HomeKit, though HA remains on my list, but only a tiny percentage is about simply having switches wherever. The true value for me has been in more intelligent color lighting based on layered actions. I change the amount of blue and brightness during the course of the day, so that there's lots in the morning and it's dimmer and ever redder in the evening. Particularly in the winter this has been incredibly helpful for my sleep cycles. It can all be extremely transparent as well since the switches and motion sensors can have time-of-day as well as which-button and number-of-clicks categorization. So hitting the on button always turns the lights on, but the color and brightness mix of a room will be different over the course of the day. Same with outdoors, motion sensors anywhere that can have different colors and activation periods at different times has been great for massively cutting down extraneous blue light at night, which is good not just for humans but for animals and insects as well. I can wake up in the heart of winter when the sun doesn't rise until 8 or later in the morning to a 20 minute long "sunrise" I created myself simulated nicely with a bunch of lights. And more complex logic like "lights all come on when smoke alarm goes off or a basement flood is detected" are also handy.

Again I'm very sympathetic to the shitty state of the ecosystems right now, frequently miserable UI/UX, and massive heaping doses of bullshit companies are constantly trying to pull to extract more ongoing revenue from people for what should be buy-once-and-done products. But it really sucks precisely because yes: smart home features genuinely can be pretty great.
I imagine there will be some longterm unaccounted-for negative externalities just from the benefits listed in the title.

Similar to when people stopped smoking, they started living longer which meant more unproductive retirement years, lower pension yields, higher healthcare costs overall (more older people needing more care all at once).
“Private market will regulate it” in this context doesn’t mean “no rules, they will sort it out on their own”, but “we don’t care and don’t know how they will comply with that law, and we won’t assist them in any way either, they will figure it out on their own.”

>This has a nice visual guide that requires you to know how to buy a raspberry pi, how to plug in a raspberry p, how to plug in an sd card (twice), and how to navigate to a url.

What about upkeep? Sure, installing PopOS is pretty easy if you follow the tutorial, but what happens if you try to install Steam one day and it breaks your desktop environment? Or maybe your sd card accumulates too much writes and corrupts your OS, and you have to diagnose the root cause?
I really wonder how much of this effect is a generation gap. I see one commercial and it drives me nuts, but my parents don't even seem to notice them. Then again I have dev coworkers who're younger than me and go like "I should really get adblock at some point" while staring down pages full of pop-ups and animated crap.

Smart bulbs are the gateway drug to home automation, but they soon reveal themselves as a bad idea, at least if not coupled with a smart switch.

Think about this: if you have a smart bulb, but your light switch is off, there's no way to turn on that light. At the same time, if your bulb "state" is off, your light switch won't be able to turn it on.

You could JUST pair a smart bulb with a smart switch, and align their states.
Or skip smart bulbs altogether and make the switches smart - using Lutron Caseta or an equivalent solution.

I've seen these people called "shit umbrellas". If your life as a developer is relatively chill and drama-free, in all likelihood you have a hero PM, PjM and/or EngM using themselves as the shit umbrella to shield you from all the madness being spewed from up above. Those are the best teams to work on.
I think you're missing a few things here.

> Do you make it in the mug, or do you pour it into the mug after you make it?

The difference is that I make it. On the space station, their beverages are pre-made and pre-packaged. You can see the bags in the linked article.

> Why not pour it into a thermos?

Huh? I generally drink out of a mug, not a thermos, but I've used thermoses as well. Again, this situation is different because I generally make my coffee. It's not pre-made and prepackaged.

> And why don't you exclusively drink prepackaged coffee?

Again, huh? Because the coffee I buy comes as beans. I have to add water, heat it up, etc. I sometimes I drink pre-made coldbrew and I do often drink that out of the package it comes in (the bottle/can).

It's a very important question. I don't have the answer. What I do know is that forcing underprivileged students to attend schools that cause them to fear for their safety or even life is inhumane. Charter schools are solving that in my district.

You're gonna need power meters for that.
E.g. check out the Shelly *EM series.
I'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices.

I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more investigation to find something that supported 40A, but my guess would be that a clamp meter is likely your best option.

It's also possible that you could use one of the DIN rail options in your fusebox, but I haven't looked at the current ratings.

If you have access to it in your area, consider looking into KNX for home automation and DALI for lighting. Both are BUS systems that you wire throughout your house, and they are very reliable. They are commonly used in hotels, schools, etc. It might be a bit more expensive and require pre-planning, but these systems have been around for decades in Europe. Plus, you'll be adhering to a standard, not bound to a specific company
If you can make do with generalist techies who can ramp up in a few weeks, you probably don’t need to be paying them $500k-$1M TCO. They’re just a new technician.

But that doesn’t mean that having people with actual research/depthful expertise aren’t essential and hard to find amongst the noise.

The person you responded to is talking about would-be technicians applying for researcher roles. That happens in tech booms and opens amazing doors for lucky smart people, but it’s also a huge PITA for hiring managers to deal with.

This. Mother and family spent careers in early childhood education.

- In order for learning to happen, kids have to be non-disruptive.

- In order for kids to be non-disruptive, they have to have their basic needs met: safety, food, stability, etc.

- In order for a kid's basic needs to be met, there has to be a source of income and time to care for them.

Absent that chain of dependencies, young children are in no state to learn anything, and distract the kids around them. And every minute of every week spent papering over deficiencies there is one less minute devoted to learning.

F.ex. in Title I schools, it's not uncommon to have families where the only book in the house might be one a child is sent home with.

If teachers received tabula rasa children, results would be much more even.

But they don't, which results in kids at bad schools being unable to focus, which means they don't learn basic material, which perpetuates income disparities later in life, which continues the cycle through lack of time and money.

The military has many bad aspects, but a parent with a steady job, housing, and benefits is a solid foundation for childhood academic success.

If you block a scraper, they will find a way around it, and it's very obvious in the scraper logs that something is wrong. It's like barely even an inconvenience. They're back in 15 minutes with a new set of IPs and a new configuration for their browsers, like you can even go as far as to automate this stuff.

Poisoning the data is much more insidious, since it doesn't let the scrapers know that you know. It means you can work to undermine whatever purpose they have. If they try to sell your data, you'll ruin their reputation with their customers. If they use your data for decision making, you trick them into making bad calls.

Ok, that makes sense.

I agree, it's problematic that there are so many more juniors than seniors in the industry right now. I feel like many juniors are being left without mentorship, and then it becomes much harder for them to grow and eventually become qualified for senior roles. So that could help explain why many candidates seem so weak, alongside with all the recent hype.

I guess eventually the market will cool off and the hype will die down since this stuff seems to be cyclical, and the junior engineers who are determined enough to stick it out and seek out mentorship will be able to grow and become seniors.

But it definitely seems like the number of seniors is a bottleneck for talent across the industry.

Reference foresight scenarios: Scenarios on the global standing of EU in 2040
This report summarizes the results of a foresight process that started at the end of 2020 with the goal to develop reference foresight scenarios. Foresight scenarios are a tool to improve strategy development and decision making in a context of turbulence, uncertainty, novelty, and ambiguity. Recent events, such as the COVID pandemic or the Russian invasion of Ukraine, made clear that being prepared for the unknown and unexpected becomes increasingly important. The reference scenarios presented in this report aim to help decision makers to increase the preparedness of their organisations under increasingly unpredictable circumstances.
