Another fun approach is to make THEM the target of other groups.

It's cool to have a pile of gold and treasure until you have to figure out how to protect it:

- banks are few and far between and how much is "too much" for a bank?

- does the local lord or king appreciate rich, unchecked groups active in their area?

- bands of thieves are great but what about another group of adventurers?

- if their wealth is truly amazing, do rumors make it to a dragon's ears?

Odds are, the party has figured out how to break into and raid many dungeons and keeps. What happens when they have to secure one?
It's definitely easier than many other languages to start learning. Absolute beginners don't want to worry about overflow, signedness, or anything like that. They just want to add some numbers and have it work. Python isn't perfect by any stretch, but having syntax like "for x in y:" goes a long way towards helping beginners not have to care about stuff they're not ready for yet.

Admittedly, that's just an opinion. I don't know of any relevant studies, but Python wasn't always the preferred language for beginners, and it changed at some point. It feels like there must be a reason for that.

As a New Yorker, I endorse this statement! If you’re the kind of person who is devoted to a car-based lifestyle, there are other cities that will suit you better, and it will make it easier for those of us still in the city to bend it toward a more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly culture.

Let New York be good at what it’s good at. God knows there are plenty of other cities in the US that are more car-centric.
What a weird website. Why is this microphone hated so much? All the listed alternatives are far more expensive, except for the ATR-2100x which looks awful. And according to the page itself, doesn't have a good built-in pop filter.

We only have Blue Yeti's at work, the sound is fine, they look great on camera, they're not overly expensive, they have an audio output for testing, they can be screwed into any microphone stand.

The arguments are also, weird. The Yeti is a condenser micprohone, but that is typically the chosen type of microphone for podcasting. They tend to be more sensitive, but the yet does have a cardioide mode (and three other modes). And if you are recording a podcast maybe just treat the room instead if it poses an issue? Another argument is "meh" quality compared to alternatives, but the page does not really list comparable alternatives. The third argument just states that people use it wrong...

I personally have a Blue Snowball, it has a cardiode mode with a -10db pad. Thanks to the pad it works perfect in my untreated room, without any software. It comes with an omni and cardiode mode, can fit onto any stand and comes with its own highly adjustable metal stand. It looks great and is cheaper than all the alternatives shown on the page.
One upside is Google can maybe hopefully use that to improve its ability to detect and remove generated garbage using his sites as training material. These people don't usually paint a target on their output.
You're confusing quality with gross revenue. First thing that comes to my mind: Marvel movies gross an absolute shit ton of dollars, but the quality of the story is absolute dogshit. Yeah, she won't lose her job, but the quality of said movies lacks.
Yeah my understanding is that the balance of evidence on moderate alcohol consumption works this way as well (though with cancer and heart health reversed).

Web Components are not a replacement for React. They are a thing you would use to build React if you were to do so today. To use only Web Components, you will be writing a lot of low-level code using the browser's API, or you will have to use a framework built on Web Components
Recently a friend of mine recommended me to watch the movie Heavenly Creatures. I went to justwatch.ca to see if it was streaming anywhere in Canada [1]. Not only was it not listed as streaming, it wasn't even listed to purchase anywhere. I went to as many places as I could think to find it: Amazon, Apple, Netflix, even Cineplex online. I was not able to find it anywhere available in Canada to stream for any amount of money. I found an article online that corroborates this is true [2] and recommends using a VPN to access content in other regions.

It made me realize that we are very much at risk of losing our cultural memory. For this particular movie I could use a VPN I suppose, but I imagine that some movies/music/books will someday not be available in any region in any form.

Do you not see the irony in this? By admitting that you don't notice the (real and fairly recent and large) UI changes in Chrome you've just dropped all credibility from any argument you might have had about caring about the UI being different.

Firefox is really not that different. Even the keyboard shortcuts are the same.

The "pear ring" is trying to make this happen but it hasn't really caught on much.
With modern browsers, "completely re-output the entire user interface on every state change" is kinda viable. I recently wrote a trebuchet simulator app (hastingsgreer.github.io/jstreb) without a framework. instead I wrote a "rebuild UI" function that I call on every new state, and the user experience is super snappy
I'm not a game theorist, in RL, nor a big Go player; but I am having a hard time finding this argument convincing. Isn't the whole reason Go is impressive is because the enormous set of possible moves? Like we know that no computer could run ever game in the lifetime of the universe were it to even perform millions of moves a second. So of the I understand this number to be north of 10^500 for possible legal and playable games. So the difference of 1 doesn't seem meaningful. Is there something I'm missing or a more convincing argument? Because even if player 1 always locks out 90% of those possible future moves, that's still an absurdly large search space and it doesn't seem like it is meaningfully different.
Giving up freedom for convenience often involves some form trust, which isn't unreasonable. You expect a service, you often pay for, to respect their users and to act in their users best interest - even if they have other interests as well.

This is clearly a betrayal of that trust and also gross misunderstanding of their target audience. Totally fine to be up in arms about that.
I also enjoy the simplicity of JS.

Pros:

* Being single threaded makes concurrency simple. No need to think about mutex/semafor/channel/etc.

* Everything is a pointer so no debate on whether to use pointer vs value for variable

* Not to many reserved keywords to learn before being able to write javascript

* I like async/await

Cons:

* Tiny standard library

* Very little standardization between projects

* JS is often compiled/minified which can make debugging painful

* Not so performant. Can't do true concurrency
The reason this is an issue in D&D is that by default the PCs don’t have a job. They’re freelance mercenaries, so the game needs to give them a reason to adventure, and by default that’s making money.

The way out of this is to have the PCs do a job, or at least have a core activity the players and their characters sign up for. Jane’s Bond is a civil servant, Indiana Jones is a professional archaeologist, the crew of the Starship Enterprise work for Star Fleet, Jason Bourne isn’t employed, but he has no choice, they really are out to get him, etc.

What this goes is make the game about something other than just personal advancement. Either the kinds of problems you’re solving can’t be solved with money. In Call of Cthulhu it’s usually less formal, but you’re not in it for the money, you’re in it to save humanity. Alternatively the game builds in an economy into the core activity itself. Upgrading your starship and buying cargo. In Blades in the Dark you’re a gang of criminals with ongoing expenses. There’s a default core activity and objective you all share.

In the examples in the article of games that solve this in various ways we can see this at work. In Stonetop you’re in it for the community, it’s about survival. In Impulse Drive and Traveller you’re trying to make a living.

So the problem with D&D is the default murder hobo setup in which there really isn’t actually a setup. In practice a lot of D&D GMs and campaigns do build in a driver for adventure. A job, or an imperative threat, or an assumed objective everyone agrees to buy into.
If steam and gog proved anything, it is that piracy is a service level issue. It is so much easier for me to purchase from of those, because I can trust ( at least until Gabe dies in Steam's case ) to some reasonable extent that they won't try to pull a rug from under me.

CD Projekt is a public company now, but you CAN download raw ISOs if you are so inclined.

If there was a similar reasonable repository for other media. Right now.. what we have almost the exact opposite that will likely result in a spike of piracy. I have 3 streaming services ( wife's bidding; don't judge ), but it is going to end up soon if they don't have anything worthwhile on it -- and I already argue that they do not.

If React won, it was precisely because it was not "overbuilt."

It was simpler (deliberately) than Backbone, Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc.

You can implement a React clone in a few hundred lines, a la Preact.

The site is incomplete, and there are way, way more trains active at a given time. For instance the Tri-Rail and Brightline (high-speed rail) in Florida each have 5-6 trains running simultaneously. Brightline is notable as the US's first credible foray into high-speed rail. Similarly most major cities in the US have either light rail, rapid transit, or both, which is maybe not included in this map. "Passenger rail" might have some highly specific semantic meaning that leaves these out of this map.
Anyone who appreciates the benefits of simplicity should skip Go and try functional programming instead. The basic tenets are a model of mathematical simplicity:

* Values are immutable

* Functions are pure (i.e. no side-effects)

* Functions are values (i.e. can be passed as arguments to other functions)

> turn to institutional guidelines if you want something that feels more evidence-based and modern.

"feels" is the right word here, unfortunately. Often, these are heavily out of date, influenced by power struggles inside the institutions and by external incentives, and get watered down by the need for generality and for avoiding liability. So the average person is left with very little to go by, which is why people either flock to study after study, choose "bro science" instead, or just stick to traditions even in places where they're not helpful.

I can't speak for the Prettier folks, but as an OSS maintainer, I'm more interested in the problem being solved than everyone using my particular solution. I actually don't benefit at all from you using my code; I did all the work to make the world a place where $PROBLEM has an accessible solution. So if I were passionate about, say, JS code formatting, I would be pretty happy if someone came along and solved that problem in a more performant way.
It's easier to just be open about stuff. A lot less to worry about honestly. Once you stop caring what other people think, you become unburdened.
Yes - this and to make it easier to understand how you'd use Pinecone at scale.

We get a lot of feedback that our many open-source Jupyter notebooks (github.com/pinecone-io/examples) are very helpful for learning new techniques and understanding how patterns work - even for starting new applications.

However, we're also often asked how to go from Notebook to prod. The Reference Architecture is a step in the direction of making this easier and more clear.

One other note (and I haven’t read every reply here yet) – other than the anecdotal evidence of drive data loss, one way to 100% prove drive data loss is occurring, is if someone has an example of data, not showing up on Drive, but that same data is present in a cubeback up local back up (as cube backup Supports versioning, and it’s only source of data is directly from G suite).

This would prove the data was on drive at one point, but is now gone along with the date and time it was retrieved and saved locally via cubeback up. (Additionally, one can show that it wasn’t deleted via user action by looking at the logs in Gsuite admin, or I think cubeBackup would log a delete as well, assuming you’re retaining those cubebackup logs)

(to be clear I’m simply a user of cubeback up. I have no interest or affiliation with them)

The way I interpret the current situation since October 7th: Israel is disrupting enemy communications capabilities during warfare triggered by an invasion of its territory and murder of civilians.

Seems perfectly within the accepted laws of war to me.

Now, specifically re. Starlink: They do not even offer service in Gaza (or Israel?) at the moment so I don't see how asking them not to start without specific approval could be deemed anything other than business as usual.
Would anyone pick react these days, if they did not already use it/know it/think-it-is-what-they-should-use-because-everyone-else-does?

I think that is the point. The original "pitch" for react in my mind was that it was lightweight and simple. I don't think you can say that any more, and I think a lot of rough edges have been identified (e.g. hooks fiasco, app state management, dependency-hell etc to name just 3) after years of use.

It's the same cycle that always happens. Old thing ossifies and grows fat overtime trying to be all things to all people. Then some new thing appears that starts with a clean slate and no prior expectations that proves popular as a result

Oh, that silly paper. Discussed previously, although I can't find the reference. This is a non-problem for Manhattan, where bedrock is close to the surface and it's hard New York Rock. It's a problem for some buildings built with on friction piles, like that tower in San Francisco. It's also a problem for low-lying areas where there's been too much oil extraction, such as parts of Louisiana.

For reasons like this, it seems that none of the current media library packages are really excellent across the board. They’ve all got significant weaknesses/downsides which is frustrating.

It makes me wonder how difficult/involved implementation of the API that clients like Infuse use to communicate with Plex, Kodi, Emby, etc is, as the aforementioned frustration makes it tempting to try writing a media server myself, and I expect that API be the most challenging part.
I like your explanation and examples.

If you don't like Reddit and decide to not use it: fine, your choice, obviously.

But completely fucking over a platform because you don't like it? That's an entirely different thing. Who are you exactly to decide how Reddit runs it site?

This is just a DDoS attack, but in a slightly different form.
>Also note that this kind of thing can be hard to diagnose, because when you put the scope probes on, some of the ringing energy goes into the scope and it tends to improve the situation as long as the probe is there.

When you're in the thick of it trying to debug, these absolutely make you want to scream. But once you figure it out and have a minute to catch your breath, they are oh so satisfying that you did figure it out.

I do think that Apple wants to eventually move to a compelely "portless" phone. The headphone jack was the first big step towards that direction and I wouldn't be surprized if they eventually remove the charging port as well, in favor of magsafe-only charging.

100% agree. Like you I’ve been building sites since the mid 90s and always was pulling my hair out at all the convoluted ways we would attempt to handle HTML in these JS frameworks. As someone who knows HTML and CSS and vanilla JS, as soon as I saw React all I could think of when I saw JSX was “finally!”.

Yeah it’s another framework with its own quirks but it lets me think about the UI in the same way I’ve thought about it for 25 years. For someone like me that’s a godsend.
