Isn't that primarily a single player game?

Cheating in those is fine. In fact, I think single player games should have cheats built in.

I got stuck on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword because I just couldn't quite get the timing right to pull off some move needed to get past on of the bosses. I would have been able to do it when I was younger but apparently slowed down a little when I got older. I tried many times then gave up and never finished the game.

It would have been great to have a way to tell the game that I just cannot get past that point and have it then provide some other way to continue the game. Maybe nerf that boss so I could kill them. Maybe reveal a quest that will get me something equivalent to whatever I'm supposed to get for killing the boss.

It's competitive multiplayer games where cheating can be questionable.
Maybe country-level culture is too coarse-grained to tell any individual what is right for them?

(BTW, I get the irony of an American saying this, but I do say it sincerely)

Estonians as "forest people" -- Estonian researchers tracing the roots of this myth here: https://keeljakirjandus.ee/en/archives/26316

A full-length article by the same scholars: https://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol81/remmel_jonuks.pdf

FWIW, I'm by no means trying to be cynical, especially considering that I do some (lighter) forestry work myself, have done lots of tree planting and definitely love being in the wilderness. Forest and nature do play a central role in our cultural heritage. Currently, however, other members of this same society carry out massive clear-cuttings in our forests. So... this is "us" as well, I guess. Demolishing and praising, side by side. That's why the work of these referred two scholars is really interesting, maybe even corageous in a way, considering that "forest wars" are a huge topic in Estonia these days.
The thing I worry about with Nvidia in terms of valuation is that they have very successfully ridden two waves and I am not sure if a third is on the immediate horizon.

Crypto mining kept demand for Nvidia processors artificially high throughout the pandemic and now then they transitioned immediately into AI hysteria. They, of course, have a healthy business without those things, but it is not entirely clear to me if such accelerated growth is sustainable.

The military can't stay away from politics. They're deeply embedded in the heart of American politics and to paraphrase clausewitz, war itself is politics by other means. Do you think Vietnam and the Iraqi war can be divorced from the political discussions that surrounded them?

The military needs to be acutely aware the delicate politicsl balance their role requires. I don't see how you can do that without open discussions of politics.
What claim about how the market works is silly exactly and why?

My claim was that 1 person owns the 1 major US market making business AND a hedge fund. Facts: they can control the price (naked shorting + strategic FTDs) and trade on it. Even if they can't/don't control the price, they can still front run the entire market. And even if they don't do that bEcaUsE iT's iLliGaL they legally (not ethically) do it through PFOF from Robin Hood among others.

They do all of that and way more. Just look up the continuous massive FINRA and SEC violations and the (tiny) fines they pay for it.

But I'm sure all is fine and dandy. I find it mind blowing why anybody would defend the biggest crook since Madoff.

Because debugging better languages affords you more context and more tooling.

Elm's debugger lets you step forwards and backwards in the application's state.

TypeScript's type system lets you catch bugs before you run the code.

Vue.js's DevTools extend the browser's with a component-based overview, so you can interactively see what's going on at a high level of abstraction. (I'm sure something similar exists for most frameworks similar to Vue.js, and possibly even frameworks made in vanilla ES5, I'm just picking one I've tried.)

With vanilla ES5 you get interactive debugging.

Tell me more about arrogance, like it's not arrogance and maybe even hubris for someone to assert they just naturally know their interests and how they interact with various policies (much less how parties are going to show up to support them).

It's not that someone is dumb if they sometimes don't know their own interests. It's that it's a hard problem that even smart people can fail at. Maybe especially smart people who don't appreciate that it's a hard problem and perhaps even are prone to confuse failure with stupidity.

Those who appreciate the complexity of the various problem domains for social policy or even of the information environment wouldn't be the least surprised if they personally accidentally voted against their own interest.

And it's far from controversial that many people are much more likely to vote by connecting their values to impressions/symbols invoked by campaigns and parties than to dig in even at the policy white paper level and arrive at a carefully calculated cost/benefit analysis for each candidate.

Maybe you're an exception. Probably not, but maybe. What about most people? Well, if it's true in a 2024 presidential race "about their policies, Harris would win handily... because voters — whether they know it or not — overwhelmingly prefer the vice president’s agenda to the former president’s"[0] but also true that the race is a coin flip, that suggests some significant margin of people who are doing something else other than policy-interest calculations.

Meanwhile, back at the specific topic, almost nobody is campaigning on right to repair, so even among people who happen to be detailed interest calculators (whoever that may be), it'd be little surprise if as an issue it didn't figure strongly into how they considered their interests and cast their vote.

If this issue matters to you, consider that right-to-repair friendly interpretations of the law are where the civil servant / professional administrative / "deep state" has arrived at under the direction and staffing priorities of prevailing liberal order. Which, is, uh, not really the energy/vibe of one of the current candidates (and it's fairer to speak of energy/vibes than policies when it comes to him given how obvious it is that this is a guy who doesn't do homework and knows little policy other than personal advantage).

Trump was literally impeached for attempting to trade US weapons for dirt on his political opponents after which his personal lawyers and DOJ appointees spent years “investigating” his opponents. Then there was the IRS targeting he used to go after those who worked with Mueller.. people who deny this stuff happened are either super low info commenters or actively malicious so it’s probably not worth engaging but it’s gaslighting on an impressive scale at least.

Aside from all that, if the best defense of a Presidential candidate explicitly promising to use the military and DOJ to target the media, political rivals and anyone who opposes him is that he “says silly things”, that’s not actually reassuring at all. “You can’t trust his repeated promises” shouldn’t be a benign fact..

That's the propaganda Wikipedia wants you to think, citing itself.

In practice, it doesn't work. The bias and delusional behavior of the editors is infectious, widespread, and has even been criticized by Wikipedia's own co-founder Larry Sanger as being overrun by "left-wing propaganda essays." He even went as far as to call it the "most biased encyclopedia in history" in an interview with Glenn Greenwald. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR6dO8U8okk)

Frankly, it does seem (following stereotypes) that left-wing people have a stronger tendency to be writers from being white-collar; while more right-wing folks are too busy with blue-collar jobs and physical labor to be writing rebuttals. A very simple example is how Wikipedia approves Vox, Slate, The Nation, Mother Jones, Jezebel, The Atlantic, Gizmodo, and Jacobin as sources, but Fox News is considered "unreliable." Permitting Jacobin and Jezebel, but not Fox, is delusional. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...)
I like this. I first noticed this with gay marriage. Some would say "gay people should be able to do what they want and form 'civil unions' with all the tax and contractual benefits and requirements of marriage, but they shouldn't be able to get 'married'". For these people, it was all about the definition of a word.

Other people opposed gay marriage because it went against their values. No matter what you wanted to call it, they were opposed to gay people living together and sharing their lives.

I chose this example because it's the first time I noticed that some disagreements are about the definition of a word, and it's an especially clear example of that. It's silly how huge disagreements about a single word can become.

There are also people who disguise their value disagreement as a definition disagreement. This is a form of bad faith arguing.
Or phrasing it as "ecological conservatism". It's not "conservative" to start accounting for the previously unrecognized or outright disregarded negative consequences of these projects. Turns out healthy ecosystems are important for humans too.
They do not, this is disinformation. The machines are manufactured by Taylor for McDonald’s and maintained by Taylor’s service network.

Taylor’s the largest manufacturer of commercial ice cream making equipment in the US. Franchisees also have the option of using Carpigiani machines, but they’re Italian so parts and service are not as easy to come by. And all ice cream machines are known for being easy to break, especially if used by poorly trained teenagers.

This also makes no sense, if McDonald’s wanted to make more off the franchisees from ice cream, surely they’d rather do it by having the machines work (so they can sell product). They sell the mix that goes in the machine to the franchisees. It would be idiotic to try to gouge them by making the machine crappy rather than just charging them more for the mix and using a good machine. Then they wouldn’t need to employ these imaginary service techs and the franchisees would be happier with the situation.

I am a recent hybrid drivetrain -convert [Camry, this year]. For most Americans I think hybrid vehicles are the current "best solution" — simply because our infrastructure already has phenomenal gasoline distribution capabilities. I can drive many hundreds of miles on ten gallons of gasoline [~50mpg real-world city driving].

When I lost power for 48 hours this past summer, I spent about 2 gallons of gasoline (already in my Camry Hybrid) to keep my refrigerator and computers running (using a 12VDC->120VAC inverter). Despite owning a beastmode 9000W propane/gasoline generator, the only reason I'd need it would be to run air conditioners...

Using the SDS+ hammer drill off of an extension cord sourced from my car [instead of a flatbed w/ generator]... makes for great jobsite conversation topics.

As a rarely-political American, I do think the tarriffs on BYD are unnecessary and ultimately bad for most of us "just citizens."

I don't think he gets it.

This election is not a normal election, sadly far from it. It's not business-as-usual about policies, personalities and partly loyalties.

This election is, sadly, about paying heed to the warnings that have been given to you by the cabinet members, incl. military generals, that worked most closely with Trump in his first term, and the senior Republicans who are voting Democrat.

When multiple generals, who have worked directly with/for Trump, tell you that he is a fascist and "danger to the country", then it would be wise to pay attention.

If you care about the future of America, and want to safeguard democracy, then, sadly, you need to step up and vote to keep Trump out of office.

the problem is that we seem to have sleepwalked into depopulation. we had decades to plan ahead and automate our means of production and distribution but chose to keep the same economic system based on infinite growth going.

it's possible that a lot of the loss in working age people won't be that bad - "bullshit jobs" (Taleb) do make up a lot of the existing jobs, so perhaps it's only the economic system that needs to change and the underlying population and means of production will be enough to work with.
> If desalination was cost effective it would be being done today at scale.

It is being done at scale in places like Israel. It doesn't even need base load power, you could run it with the infinite amount of cheap solar energy available in the Southwest. The only reason it isn't being done is places like California is entirely regulatory. In fact Arizona might get there first, there has been recent progress between them and Mexico to do desalination in the Sea of Cortez, which is only 60 miles from the Arizona boarder.
Ok … so what?
On Linux, I do not install sudo, because I do not need very often to become root, and when I need that I usually want to do multiple operations.

I believe that "sudo" is useful only on multi-user computers (including company-owned and company-managed computers), where the administrator may want to give to some users the power to do only a restricted set of privileged operations.

I always use a different user account than root, mainly not for security, but to avoid any accidental mistakes, when I could delete or overwrite other files than intended.

I believe that this is a good enough reason to justify the need to type infrequently a password in order to change roles.

There is off-the-shelf technology to make a website work in both portrait and landscape mode.

But good design is done by hand, and portrait and landscape are two separate designs if aesthetics are important. When someone cares, it is going to be more work, probably more than twice as much.

That more work is doesn't enhance the core function of a news organization. Having a clear way of presenting information is within the core function. A second clear way might be, but audio or video or RSS or Mastadon are probably more likely to be than the other of landscape/portrait.

...Aside, try Ali Express which only works in portrait with the iPad power port pointing down. But as Steve Jobs said...good luck.
