Part of the issue with this is that people get attached to their characters, but 5e doesn't actually have a rule set that works super well with that, in the world it has.

It's moved over the years from the meat grinders of the early editions to the much more character focused ones now, but some things haven't really kept up.

The big one being character death becoming trivial midway through, and the combat kinda being centered around that. Death doesn't mean much when you just keep reviving them, and it's left up to the DM to figure out how to balance that (since the 5e economy is a mess).

5e long ago should've adopted a downed/injured system like much of the competition, with death being much more rare. Then again there's about 100 other things they should've done, and it's pretty clear they won't, so meh. Guess it just sits on the DM's
Any guy who hit on my sister without being prompted, even the 'cute' ones (which is, to be fair, a big part of gym goers), get on her 'red flag' list, that she share with her gym and box friends.

I think it's typically wishful thinking. Just act like a normal human being, it's often enough, even if you're ugly.

I've been fat from 24 to 29 years old, and obese from 26 to 28. I did not have any sex during that time (my libido was quite low tbh), but I did have a few date, maybe half a dozen?, despite being quite ugly (23 to 27 especially, I didn't took care of myself at all). I assure you I wasn't attractive. But I was a normal human being who could listen and find cues before asking someone out.

To be fair, I’m surprised it was open in the first place. For a website that does not have any ads, having its enormous amount of data not only readily available but also searchable felt like a bad choice.

What I hope never happens is the actual enshittification of the site for logged in users.
I'm a hoarder too. I remember the original Fallout games where eventually I'd own most of the money in that part of the world. It's not a fair economic system.

I'd really like a game where eventually the shopkeeper tells you: "Look, you've already sold me 10 of these +1 magic swords. We've got only 8 capable warriors of fighting age in this village, and none of them have the kind of money to buy these swords. I'm afraid I can't justify buying even more from you."
There might be an impact, but it’s not clear what the impact is. I’m no biologist, but I’d wager your volume of immune cells changes quite a bit over your lifetime. I’d be more interested in seeing the long-term health outcomes of vegetarians vs. non-vegetarians.
I love the "this guy" piece... Meanwhile he's been the most public person in academia talking about databases over at least the last 5 years, maybe the last 10. He's not only done an awesome job of talking about foundational pieces of databases, but also examining new databases that have come up over the last 10 years or so. He's course is quite open as well, so it's not just the student base that gets to take advantage - https://15445.courses.cs.cmu.edu/fall2023/

The shirts he's generally helped promote and publicize those companies so he has things to hand out to his students, TAs, graduate students.

I’ve been following Frore Systems (https://www.froresystems.com/) for a while and have wondered if Apple might consider acquisitions of next-gen components like theirs. Presumably Apple wants to wait for them to be proven in production first, but can you imagine an even more power efficient and silent cooling system on MacBook Pros? That would get you current M3 laptop performance in a form factor closer to the last Intel generation MacBook Pro (slimmer).

“There is early data showing that other fatty acids from plants signal through a similar receptor, so we believe there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing by activating the CREB pathway as well,” he said.
The way cash works with resources in Burning Wheel is really genius design. Since you have your lifecycle maintenance cycles, and you will want to buy stuff, it ends up putting some pressure on the characters to get some cash to be able to handle those resources tests, especially since you have the Tax risks. And on top of that it makes it more likely the party will help each other to lower that risk.

But I totally agree that the abstraction loses something about finding treasure.
> discovered that the sshd daemon is listening on port 22 by default

Your comment confused me and I had to read it more than once. I’d expect the SSH service to default to listening on the default port and I’d be annoyed if a distribution had configured the sshd daemon to default to listening to a port other than 22.

I’m guessing that your main problem with the distribution is that the SSH service was automatically enabled in the first place (without your knowledge).

I am biased since I worked at KineticaDB, but the KineticaDB t-shirts were the best swag I've ever received. I have a closet full of them, 3x/yr across the three years I was there. I wore some socially and fashionably, and others at the gym. They used high-end fabrics comfortable for day and night.

I think about ROI on marketing and this must be incredible w/r/t Employee alignment. Imagine having employees wear your brand day in day out!
There's a backlash to this called Old School Renaissance (or Revival, short: OSR) that tries to bring back high-mortality, "you play the world, not the characters" type of gaming to D&D. The character based and scripted story driven D&D was not always a thing. Some argue it started with second edition (which came 15 years later). Some good examples of such can be seen in the Judges Guild published material from 1975-1979 which focuses on procedural world generation and emergent storytelling rather than scripted characters with backstories and plotlines.
Being spared a fan with its noise is the exact reason that I use an MBA. I surely do not want to retrofit a fan. But nice idea anyways to look after your cooling approach.
> I keep seeing Edge mentioned as a worthy alternative, and I just don't get it.

Bing (now Copilot) acts like a premium version of ChatGPT in Edge. It is context aware, and gives you access to GPT4 (not turbo), for free.

Edge is also very tied in with Live services, which if you primarily use those, it gives you the most bang for your buck there.

It also has some nifty features that are a mixed bag compared to other browsers, but may be missing from Chrome or Firefox.

I have the happy experience of seeing my son learning Japanese and English at the same time, and it’s bizarre how different it is. Learning the kana might be a bit harder, but now that he’s there he can read any word out loud correctly.

In English? Hoo boy. Knowing how you spell a word doesn’t help you at all with how it’s said. Then on top of that the names of the letters are completely different from how you sound them. It’s no surprise that phonics is something ‘important’ in the English language when the whole concept doesn’t exist elsewhere.
Army Spied on Lockdown Critics
Burnout is a thing which should be taken more seriously by more people.

Go on holiday. At least two months. The first week you'll think you're still at work. The second week you might have some time to collect your thoughts, and plan. Then beyond that you might hopefully have the headspace to catch up on chores and life admin.

Month two is for enjoying yourself and your family.

Do the above first. Not addressing your main Q; I'm sure there are good jobs which would still hold your interest/excite you.
There was a discussion here lately about how the budget is fulfilled at the end of a year by spending all the rest of the money on some bullshit. Now I wonder if it could be spent on OpenSource projects the company is using either directly or not and would it count for the auditors to receive at least the same amount of money next year.
This comment smells very much like you think you are The One. Or that The One is out there somewhere [1].

> We need to name and shame BigCorps that are using and exploiting the very generous and liberal nature of Apache-style licensed projects without (majorly) contributing back.

The corporations are following the exact spirit of the license. If you want to shame them, put it in writing. Make a new license. But it would be proprietary, because you'd be saying some entities are too big to exercise Freedom 0 without paying money to a central organization that held the license.

That's the licensing model for the two big game engines, Unity and Unreal - Gratis, to a point. It seems to work for them, but it ain't FOSS. And for your central benevolent organization to hold that power over the license, they'll also have the power to do worse things to the project. One of the appeals of FOSS was that it's de-centralized. You can always fork it, if you have the code you have the right. A license that required "BigCorps" (because every small company is inherently good?) to pay would have to deny the right to fork.
You don't have to display ones with the tag. But you can make it a checkbox on whatever intake form you use. It's a bucketing mechanism. At a minimum, it makes it faster for you to reject some submissions outright. But it also forces the unscrupulous to lie by falsely checking the box, so there's less debate to be had whether you want their games listed at all.

Burnout doesn’t really come from too much work, you can be swamped to the brim and feel no burnout. Or you can be sitting bored for 8 hours at your desk stretching out 1 hour of responsibilities to last all day and feel super burned out.

The real cause of burnout is toil for no reward. It sounds like whatever used to motivate you to get shit done isn’t there anymore. Any amount of work you don’t believe is worth the effort will make you feel burned out.

A good book about this is Peak Performance. Pairs great with The Passion Paradox. They cite more researchy/academic sources, if that’s what you’re into.

I’d suggest starting there. Looking into what used to motivate you, why it’s missing, and thinking deep about what it is that you do want to do. Then find ways to do that.
Oh yeah, Macs had that eject button for years. Until pretty late in the Intel era, IIRC.

But you could “eject” (unmount) anything with it, disk images etc. It wasn’t hardwired to any particular drive.

This irks me to no end.

They justify it with "engagement" and it kinda works to a point, since if you don't get pissed with the broken search and register an account, you're not considered a "user", and if you try to use the tool but don't want to register you're not "engaging" with it, I guess... But it makes the initial contact that much more miserable.
I used OpenCV and Yolo on an RPi4 for object detection. Worked great. Fun project and I learned a lot from the OpenCV community.

I think the ability to learn computer vision from scratch (and free) like I did is one of the best aspects of open source generally.

Yup, the trick with kids is simply staying up later. I usually do a couple 2 to 4am nights for freelance work, then do an early bed night, then repeat. Waking up at 7 to take the kids to school is a little rough, but a stop at the coffee shops always fixes that.

If I understand correctly, CPU clock speed is really relevant only for bursts in CPU use. Any meaningful steadying of processing speed at that peak,or near it, seems to be a question of power efficiency and cooling in tandem.

So now if Apple is well ahead of the competition in power efficiency, and if, on top of that, the Aijet is really a revolution in (silent?) cooling, then we have here a maximization of the value of all those Ghz.

As an amateur computer musician, this is exactly what I need: a continuous silent performance at a "budget" price.
If you've played mouse guard, you may have also played Torchbearer which is a dungeon delving game that entirely focuses on your inventory basically. You have physical slots for items, like Diablo (potion takes 1 slot, rope takes 2, etc.) so you have this balance between trying to survive and get the most money.

>Tesla posts are flagged heavily

A lot of people, like a friend of mine, have put their entire life savings in tesla stock when was rocketing to the moon during covid, because they were bored of crypto and were worshiping Elon. They have the most to loose from this stuff, so my friend spends the morning bus ride to work arguing on Twitter and other social media with people why tesla is the best and any any evidence otherwise is fake news or tesla shorts trying to manipulate the stock. Poor guy.

It could be that such an army exists on HN as well that abuses the flag button to protect the image of the company and their investment. Just a hypothesis.

For the last five years I've worked exclusively with non-profits and companies who are aligned with some sort of social good.

Coming from the agency/startup world, things are completely different for me now. Can't get something done at 6pm on a Friday? That's okay no problem we'll look into it Monday. Or Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or next quarter.

It's a completely different way of working, antithetical to the adrenaline chasing, weekend ruining pursuits of my youth (I think I'm old enough to say that now).

My income is smaller. Much smaller. But on an hourly basis I am probably making about the same as I was before, and every aspect of the job is much more pleasurable.

To a Brexit supporter, the French, Dutch and Irish people were all opposed to the constitution/treaty, and other countries would have rejected it as well if their referendums hadn't been cancelled, and yet it was forced through anyway by a body that considers voters an inconvenience to be worked around.

When Brexit supporters call the EU 'undemocratic' this is what they are referring to.

Of course, that's not the only reason for Brexit. British politicians deserve a reasonable portion of the blame; for several decades prior to the vote they could straddle the fence on issues like immigration, by telling people "we can't do anything, it's the EU"

It’s easy to create gold sinks for heroes by giving them opportunities to spend large amounts of money to improve various villages, towns, etc. They could fund the construction of wells or ships and forts to improve quality of life, making them a different type of hero.

There is even opportunity to craft new conflicts solely revolving around how that money is being spent, and presenting tough choices between various options.

Perhaps they can even return some of that looted money back to the people from which it was looted, after all, the monsters and enemies that horde it likely didn’t acquire it fairly.

And after all that spending they’ll probably end up somewhat poor again, continuing the cycle.
