Huge potential, it's annoying in a way that gets me to keep playing but maybe slightly too annoying- I have a couple suggestions that would change the gameplay a lot so feel free to ignore:

Attacks that lose when they are exactly 1 letter longer- if winning by 1 was too powerful, these could draw/stalemate, letting you fortify your position and potentially attack a turn later (giving your opponent a chance to fortify their position). It feels a bit cheap to not be able to spell out a word because the opponent blocks with a shorter word.

I also find myself trying to plan words but never getting the right letters - maybe you could add a view of the next 3/5 incoming letters to reduce the rng-ness and allow more planning.

Again, great job, I look forward to see how it progresses!
the emergency brake (what a lot of manual drivers call a parking brake) is not usually designed for constant use. esp in older models where the brake was cable-based.

if I lived on the west coast again or somewhere else with a lot of hills, I'd use it all the time along with curbing and leaving it in gear. I grew up on the flat prairie, parking on hills freaks me out
Head to Plano, near the Legacy area where some corporate HQs are. It’s a flat area without high buildings and wide parking lots.
What google services do you use? Which are you finding hard to replace? I'm pretty much degoogled except for using YouTube. Kagi for search, Fastmail for mail (I played with Hey for awhile but they are so backwards in client features), Orion for a browser, Microsoft Authenticator, Mac calendar, iCloud office suite, iCloud photos, and Apple Maps.

As I mentioned, YouTube is pretty hard to replace as there is nothing else like it currently. Vimeo is not as open, Facebook, TikTok, X and others have their weird problems too.
No, I haven't seen that film, but I'm going to look it up.

I see the same trends you do. Look at the current crisis; I hardly see any art address it. I think that's part of the reason people say art is irrelevant - in a way it is.

There's a great scene in the recent Todd Haynes fictional-bio of Bob Dylan, where someone says to young Dylan, who is playing traditional folk music: Why are singing about boxcars, etc. You've never been on one; those are ancient history. People who made those songs were singing about their world and their present experience; you need to make songs about yours.

It's a failure of everyone, but IMHO of artists in particular, to accept the narrative of despair (which I think is an intentional campaign(s) of propaganda). I think it's no more complicated than that people just need to wake up. The propaganda campaigns - and despair and paralyzation is the goal propaganda - keep undermining them, I suspect.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Lol take home assignments? What are you trying to get into a high school class?

I'd go find a different employer. Unless they are gonna pay for the time to do said take home assignment? Double time min for out-of hours work. Are they going to provide a RDO to makeup for the outside of hours work/shift going overtime? It's unsafe to operate without enough sleep and if ive banged out 8 hours on some assignment after a 8 hour day you better believe im not turning up tomorrow. I'm not making myself liable for unsafe operations just for your incapacity to hire enough people to get a job done in allocated working hours.

The two instances of "instead of" have opposing senses. The grammar can't be interpreted without the semantics. Anyway, it seems other people find this OK, which is interesting to me.

Below is the context in TFA, and the quote's form with show/tell placeholders:

she informed one writer that their “story is certainly worth telling,” but they
"[tell] instead of [show], [show] instead of [tell]."

I can read the second part as a directive (I'd use a semi-colon instead of a comma to show this myself). I bet the original letter's connection (instead of "but they" in TFA) supports this.

It feeds into my nascent theory that grammar is not necessary for everyday human communication, and its function is ornamental, like patterns on clothing, signifying social position. (Of course, it is useful in precise technical exposition and argument; though there's still greater precision in numerical quantification and first order logic.)

Grammar is the greatest joy in life, don't you find?

> used to work for a Korean company that supplied parts for Kia/Hyundai. That experience combined with my years of managing an import repair shop means that the only brands of automobile that I would feel comfortable purchasing are Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura.

To be fair, as someone who’s owned a 2000 ICE and a 2020 EV Hyundai, they have really upped their game.
> As if FOSS tooling was a crowded space!! These projects are desperate for volunteers, and lack of developer time and resources is one of the biggest handicaps that these projects often face

thinking about eg the recent xz vuln, isn't this somewhat indicative of a licensing failure on the part of FOSS licenses? the point of licensing is to ensure the author is properly compensated for his work, and if the work is used by billion dollar companies while authors scrape by and beg for donations, it seems to me that the license isn't doing its job. the license should capture some value and give it to the author.

it's completely absurd that professional tooling is begging for volunteers. you don't see that in any other field.
No offence, but this should be a FAQ entry somewhere…

Anyway: Fastmail seems to be a popular alternative these days.
From the article:

I've heard that often and i'm pessimistic about it in general. Although there might be some hope, because the channels Invidious users might prefer (nerd stuff) are more likely to move to an alternative, than others.

I prefer it anyway since I have multiple accounts and they’re not all gmail.
My phone number was once a Verizon number. Then Google Voice. Then Google Fi. Then, since Google couldn't transfer my number from Fi back to Voice, and Fi left me stranded multiple times with a non-functioning phone, I transferred out to Telnyx where I have my own little scripts that forward calls and forward/reverse-fwd SMS to my email. It's brilliant for my lifestyle - bouncing around countries with a different eSIM every month or so.

Idk, I get why it's the way it is but it's asinine and annoying as hell.

> I have a young family member who was taught exactly the opposite -- setting the parking brake was "harmful" to the car somehow and not to do it.

I knew a friend who was also convinced of this somehow. It seems to be a common myth that it’s an “emergency” brake despite the car manual and drivers ed calling it a parking brake and stating it should be used each time, even on an automatic.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with this. If anything, we should change the law to encourage much more high-skill immigration

And this is exactly how people end up with a parking brake that's rusted in place and useless, which they'll discover at the worst possible time. Surreal to hear that's being taught to new drivers as a good practice.

So no, as Pottering claimed, sshd would not be hit by this bug except for this systemd integration.

I really don't care about "Oh, someone could have written another compromise!". What allowed for this compromise, was a direct inability for systemd to reliable do its job as an init system, necessitating a patch.

And Redhat, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, and endless other distros took this route, because something was required, and here we are. Something that would not be required if systemd could actually perform its job as an init system without endless work arounds.

Also see my other reply in this thread, re Redhat's patch.
Extremely beautiful and underrated though, as is everything between the north bay and Oregon on 1/101 frankly.
Can you not plate multiple copies of it that print at the same time? Usually you need to remove the finished print, clean the build plate etc. between prints, so longer total print times between 'overhead' periods increases your productivity significantly. It seems like a neat demo to be able to say "Print another one" verbally after spending a few minutes physically doing things to re-prep the machine, but not actually more productive than pressing the 'print again' button that shows up on the menu on mine.

Google really needs to revamp their YouTube model. I'd sign up for an embedding API with a low user fee (~$0.50) and generous low volume (free) and reasonable high volume (>50k requests/month at $0.01/1k). Ad free, of course, because YouTube ads are probably not great money makers for small businesses, hence the awful commercials we see pushed and successful creators reliance on in-video promotions.

That's a good point, I guess what you want is that the build artifacts are produced and archived (or at least made read-only) before the test suite runs, to avoid output cross-contamination from the test phase.

I have only a cursory experience with rpm builds, but with the normal debhelper process that should be quite easy: just switch the order of the dh_install and dh_auto_test targets, and then make sure the debian/ directory is read-only before running the tests.

Anakin only killed the Jedi younglings and it's not clear whether when he killed the sand people he killed their young in any particular order relative to their parents so he's not a perfect choice for a tool that specifically only kills orphans (i.e. children without living parents).

There was a documented German reserve police officer who volunteered to kill the children during the genocide in Poland but only under the condition that he would do so after his comrades killed their mothers because he could justify it to himself as an act of mercy.

Let's just say there would have been names that better fit the metaphor but that doesn't mean they would have made for better names. Arguably it might demonstrate a need for better metaphors instead. If killing children is the norm, maybe children aren't a good metaphor given how we normally think of child killing.
My Pacifica does this as well. Shifting to park also engages the parking break.

Going through the linked issue, it seems that the fix has already been merged and should be part of the next invidious release.

But it still is a fact that Google is trying to limit access to YouTube through alternatives like yt-dlp and invidious by constantly trying to break stuff.
In my view, this action should not have been taken without first ensuring that people from countries where internet access is heavily restricted, such as Iran(where using a VPN is most common method to access the free internet and information is already limited), still have a means to access it.

I had a friend who discovered she had to undergo an STD.free-test when she needed to through reddit. and now reddit is not accessible anymore to people living where she used to live.
What does any of that have to do with what I said?

Only one person on the team has the ability to fire anyone. Everyone can quit.

So, when push comes to shove who’s perception of if things are working matters?

If the other party quit, there is no shove or pushing.

All of that is the same at any and every company (barring union rules or other contracts), no need to put it in the ad.

And yes, ultimately every company gets what the consequences of its actions results in - and managers are agents of the company.

The hardest part is often those consequences are a lot more pleasant for them then it is for labor/employees. That is also life.

> JavaScript has had a fairly minimal standard library, but a trend in TC39 has been to make JS more of a "batteries-included" language, with a high-quality, built-in set of functionality available

I think the description "minimal" is fairer than "no" wrt the standard library.

Would it work if the other language increased the text length twofold? How about right-to-left languages? What if the language is sensitive to numbers and putting a numeric textbox in the middle of a sentence would require the sentence to change phrasing significantly depending on the value?

Here’s a screenshot of the Windows Vista start menu in English: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Scree...

As you can see, it’s a nicely crafted layout, with the power buttons at the bottom taking up all the available space, and the thin separator lines below "E-mail", below "Games", and above "All Programs" are taking up the entire widths of the boxes they’re in (minus reasonable margins).

Here’s the Polish version: https://ia902303.us.archive.org/24/items/WinVistaSP2AIOPLMay...

The awful translation made both columns of the menu much wider, making the separators look too short, and adding blank space next to the power buttons.

I'm an industrial designer and manufacturing engineer who founded a reverse engineering firm. We use some nice techniques to virtually eliminate defects in our client production streams, even though we have basically no tacit knowledge of their production back ends. What we do understand is our design geometry and its quality metrics.

In our case, simply controlling the quality of our geometry is enough to stamp out defects and rework, which is why our clients use us as a turnkey solution for eliminating design risks.

Those kinds of quality controls and universal productions sims don't get developed for simple open source designs.

So yes I understand that productionizing a design traditionally depends mainly on accruing tacit knowledge.

At the same time I understand also how important quality controls in the design phase are for eliminating rework in the production phase. And we are increasingly able to plan designs that will enter into production flawlessly.

The scenario I'm asking you to envision, therefore, is not this project, but some hypothetical other scenario where the creator really supports larger scale efforts with novel quality controls that have traditionally been too expensive for open source.

I'm also interested in a political scenario where we're designing a purely software weapon, a new drone munition, or other dangerous tech. Let's even suppose we're doing this because we hope it will disrupt for corporations and governments.

The question then remains: when due this kind of work cross into dangerous territory, and incur outside risks. Where are the limits? How much can we expect to "get away with"?

Obviously the answer is "it depends' and "talk to a lawyer". But I'm curious about insights and stories folks might have here.
That's plausible, although it would be quite egregious of Signal to send plaintext push notifications (even of only the contact name) in my opinion.

It isn't difficult to contrive possibilities even in the case of using practices for an iDevice (such as for the screenshot: find incriminating picture [somewhere] -> search for picture hash -> find out that Aude has that same picture on his phone even though it is using iCloud Advanced Data Protection).

The real interest is in the explanation they give and if it is plausible or if it seems to be parallel construction to cover pushing out specialized signed software to employee phones to detect this.
Its difficult, but that's why discovery exists.
> without async/await it wasn't really necessary to standardize

Hard disagree.

`x instanceof Promise` simply doesn't work. If my library has a then method that accepts a catch callback and yours doesn't, they're silently non-interoperable, and there's no way to detect it. When does `finally` run? What expectations can you have around how async the callbacks are? Without a standard, every single library that uses promises needs to bring its own polyfill because you can't trust what's there. And you can't actually consume any other library's promises, because you can't trust that they behave in the way you expect them to.

And I'm not just speculating, this was reality for many years and a hell that many of us had to endure.
Ok, but if there's no reason?

Or what do you do when the reason is something somewhat objective like "performance" because you didn't meet your deadlines or something. Can you claim discrimination then?

Otherwise what's stopping everyone from claiming discrimination every time they get laid off?
I think you're reading the "SAMPLE LEGAL APPRAISAL" which is an appraisal for a different item. I think it's just to give you an idea of the form of appraisal they'd provide for insurance purposes.
I agree that all might be too high a bar, but most is too low, because even if most of your objects fall into categories 1-3, sufficiently many objects in category 4 would still make your life miserable. Furthermore, it's not like arenas take care of too much because they still require some careful thinking. E.g. Rust's lifetimes don't automatically ensure a correct use of arenas in all cases. A language like Zig is very friendly to arenas, but you still have to be careful about UAF.

Now, I know very little about Jai, but bear in mind that its author doesn't have much experience at all with servers or with concurrent software in general, which is 1. where objects with uncertain lifetimes are common enough to be a serious problem, and 2. a huge portion of software being written these days. Games are a domain where it's unusually common for nearly all objects to have very clear, "statically analyzable" lifetimes.
Gnome is basically "we made it, and we really want to feel like we've been creative, and you can't say anything against it."

"Oh my how can we ever tackle this level of nuance", "But in case it helps" makes it clear you're arguing in bad faith instea dof looking for a discussion.

Actually, as a hiring manager, you can't discriminate between whether someone is a U.S. Citizen or an H1B. So in reality, you're going through a stack of applicants in order. If your HR group puts a bunch of H1B's in front of a citizen candidate, that's it.

So no, your assertion that there is an implicit "there is no American we can hire to fill this" is false. We can't even consider that.
