Not really, as in American football, the goal is to traverse some specific length, so no one really thinks about the area in much detail. For example, I could tell you that a football field is 120 yards in length (100 yards for the actual play area and 10 yards on each side for the endzone) but I could not tell you the width off the top of my head.
By all means, don’t spend forever agonizing over the perfect schema and never ship. It really does not matter at small scale anyway, DBs are absurdly fast.

Just understand and accept that you are taking on heavy technical debt that will need to be repaid, and that it’s much more difficult to do once you’ve already vertically scaled several times along the way.
Just like everything. The optimal amount of crime, unemployment, accidents, deaths, etc... is not zero.

For example, when building a road, there is a certain chance that an accident will happen, that some people will die, and that could have been prevented. For example, by installing a guard rail, enforcing speed limits, or by taking a different path.

But installing that guard rail for a one in a million chance that something bad happens is money better spent elsewhere, like improving safety where it matters more, and people tend to dislike the resulting taxes. Enforcing speed limits have a cost too, that can be recovered from the fines that result from it. But the goal is not to bankrupt your citizens with fines, and constant surveillance is not very popular. And the different path you are planning may go though people homes, relocating people is also expensive, and usually not very popular for the people in question.

So, we tolerate a few accidents and deaths over a dystopian society.
I see something that worries me in this article.

It seems that any private enterprise can just launch any type of item(s) to the moon without any rules or oversight what so ever?!! How TF did we even get there? And how can we get rules and policing in place really really fast?

The article mentions advertising as one example - it would have to be a very large sign to be visible down here, but there are people that stupid, and there are corporations that rich. The thought alone is beyond disgusting to me, and I don't think I'm overly sensitive in that specific regard.

As an European it did not escape my attention that these enterprises are American. These private enterprises from one specific country are allowed by that one specific country to desecrate (and that is the proper word) something of immense importance to almost all the world. I guess there's a word for that, and I guess it's Hubris. But then there are many more words, none positive in any way.

This should never have started. It has to stop. Immediately. But how?

Also, after reading the comments, it seems that the concept "sacred" is not really something that my fellow commenters here, uhm... internalize (let alone, understand). Let's just say that if a spokesperson for an Indigenous Nation mentions that something is "sacred" to them, it means that that something is far more important to them than your morning coffee, or the distictions between Vi/Emacs, SPA/MPA, PHP/Rust. Which is something like "extremely important" times infinity.

Also, if a spokesperson for an Indigenous Nation says something like that, it will be beyond rude to suggest that he does not state the facts (or that he is somehow lying or pretending something).

This is regardless if you are religious, atheist, or whatever. Just FYI.

And no, I'm not Navajo.

Just as literally millions of people (comprising most of the world's population as a percentage), have "fallen hard" for other major world religions, for centuries, I guess? Yeah, right, it's all "woo". /s

Now (for the sake of TDD), put your money where your mouth is: go to a hotbed of any of those major religions, and sound off with a megaphone about your opinions, just as you did here. Let the resulting fun begin.
It's been argued that most, maybe all, of human cognition is based on a sort of folk-physics mental model with objects. We throw ideas into the ring to be chewed on and distilled and maybe brought in to practice or thrown out as useless. The linguistic metaphors we use, at least, to talk about ideas and abstractions, are never more than one, maybe two, steps away from a hand moving or rearranging something.

Important to remember that when they took Armstrong’s trophies away, the next person who hadn’t yet been caught doping finished 10th. During that era of cycling, 87% of top 10 finishers tested positive for doping at least once.

That doesn’t excuse his doping, of course. It just means that at the time doping was a baseline requirement for competing at the top levels of cycling.
This earthquake has been really devastating for the Noto peninsula. 128 confirmed deaths so far, with 195 people still reported as missing/unconfirmed. 28,000 people have evacuated to shelters, and many more are without power and water in their homes. And right now it is snowing, compounding the suffering for people without power, and complicating cleanup efforts. [1]

A lot of the infrastucture has been destroyed in the area, and 2,000 people are isolated due to roads being impassable. Fishing is one of the primary industries in the area, and many boats and coastal buildings were lost/damaged in the resulting tsunami. And with the coast having risen by up to 4m in some areas, there are ports which are no longer even accessible by boat.

Most of the people worst affected have been the elderly. More than 50% of the population in the area is over the age of 65. And older people are more likely to live in older homes that are more susceptible to damage in an earthquake. And there are reports of covid and the flu spreading at evacuation centers.

Over the past several years there has been an "earthquake swarm" in the area. Experts have speculated that it is due to water seeping into the earth's crust along with a subducting oceanic plate, causing swelling, weakening bedrock, and making faults more "slippery". [2] The Jan 1 earthquake occurred over a far wider area than previous quakes in the region, starting in the Suzu area and spreading to other active faults in the area. [3] Experts are advising that, while considerable stress has been released from this event, people should be on alert for more quakes in the future including the possibility of another magnitude 7+ quake.

I hesitate to defend Apple developer documentation. I have struggled with it for 30 some years, but if you don't understand OOP on the mac (inheritance etc.), you probably shouldn't attempt to program the mac.

This reminds me of a UNIX programmer I worked with who called up our Apple sales rep and berated her and Apple because programming macOS wasn't like programing UNIX. When I called her to apologize, she was nearly in tears.

You are way outside this field. Programming the macOS can be very different and difficult. Either learn its concepts or work on something else.

I enjoy some games played with rook cards (or numbered cards: 4 colored suites of 14 cards each):

https://www.pagat.com/kt5/rook.html

https://archive.org/details/rook-instruction-manual-1924-ima... (This actually has rules for more games than are found in its own table of contents.)

There are many, for different ages and effort levels. (And with minimal adaptation, the same cards can be used for games normally associated with standard playing card decks, or "go fish" for children, or whatever.)
Just keep in mind that at least in the old versions it had bugs that lead to occasional loss of all the autosaved files.

I don't know if they fixed them since, I haven't used it in three or four years.
It's an approximation. If you say 220 meters, you have no wiggle room. If you say two football field's length you get the idea and it leaves wiggle room. Meters are too precise in this case.

If they had said furlong, that would be about right and gives enough coarseness to the measure to be effective. Unfortunately, with horseracing dying not many people are familiar with the measure any more.
I always found that weird too! Apple should know better. On the other hand, I like that I can just quit the app and open it (even after restarting) and jump back to my __unsaved__ tabs.

A gripe I have with TextEdit (an app that I love for its simplicity) is that UI elements (like font selection windows) are too small.
Yet there are quite a few topics no publications exist one. Even if you can make a plausible argument that it wasnt you that harmed your participants. That might be related to a bunch of convicted war criminals having used that excuse unsuccessfully.

This article has a section titled "how to get a job." The author then mentions straight away that he has never had to apply for a job in the traditional way. Following this, he questions his own success and implies that there may be factors other than merit that played a role. A few paragraphs down the author then laments people with imposter syndrome.

Yup. I'm not sure how you can read this without being irritated. Is this the tech equivalent of a social media influencer?

There isn't really any conceivable reason other than for lulz is there, though? That's the whole point. Nobody NEEDS this, so the Node ecosystem needs to fix this in such a way where creating an everything package isn't even possible. The only attention this person deserves is whatever amount of attention is required to get people that work on NPM to work on a fix. I'm sorry for all the people that feel the need to act attacked by this, but frankly if nobody shines a light and causes some pain by being a lawful-evil prankster, the people working on Node will never bother to fix it. As is evidenced by the fact that it is possible.

Power generation technologies, not power itself.

The same argument can be made for any r&d, in lieu of spending on alternative technology that already exists. Should we have stopped spending on mRNA vaccines to pay for more socialized healthcare? Or more efficient batteries for better public transport?

No one knows the answer to any of these questions because the outcome of r&d is unknown. Some known unknowns but also unknown unknowns. So we do both/all the things to some degree and optimize the degree as we learn more. Alternatives are mostly not mutually exclusive.

Because I have a work provided SE3 and the display is worse than on my ancient 2012 Samsung S3, let alone a modern budget Samsung OLED like the A54. It's far gar too expensive for what it offers when you look at the EU market and competition.

It boggles my mind how Apple is selling 2008 display tech at over €400+ when all their cheaper competitors habe bright high refresh rate OLEDs and more storage to boot. No surprise it's not selling well to consumers here.

The company I interned at back in '08 had multiple Tichu games going daily over lunch. It's where I learned to love the game. Sadly, they had a hiring freeze when I graduated in '09, and I had to move on. I still play, but I will always look back fondly on those daily games over lunch.

When I do play Tichu these days, it's actually with the designer of Haggis, Sean Ross. He's been putting out a lot of traditionally inspired games over the past few years. He just published a game called Bacon which is a climbing game based on the traditional climbing game Guan Dan (https://www.pagat.com/climbing/guan_dan.html). I'd recommend checking out both games! The hand size in Guan Dan is 27 cards, and that's not even the most in a traditional climbing game!

An updated version of Haggis will also be coming out later this year, and it will support playing up to 6 players. The 4-player partnership version is particularly good. The reprint will also include some updated rules for the 3-player game, which I like a lot too.

(I'd give you some BGG links, but it looks like it's currently down for maintenance.)

That aside, Pagat is truly a gem. One of the best sites on the internet. I have spent hours and hours there learning and trying obscure card games. Thank you, John McLeod.

Cycling is such a strange sport. It's like Formula 1 for rich fitness enthusiasts. I recently bought an old high-end Look racing bike after taking up cycling for fitness, and I went down the Look, La Vie Claire, Bernard Tapie, Bernard Hinault, Lance Armstrong rabbit hole. Doping is just the surface of what must have been a money laundering cocaine fueled sex crazed decades long party.
> baseline requirement for competing at the top levels of cycling.

I agree, and for cheating in a sport Mr. Armstrong should be stripped of those awards given for such feats and no other judgement outside of that need be applied. However, Mr. Armstrong did not simply cheat; he actively and openly sought to destroy the lives and reputations of those who said otherwise. THAT was not a baseline requirement for competing at the top levels. For those actions outside of cycling he should be stripped of the celebrity and accolades he was given outside of cycling as well.
