So, is that how we unlock HL3? Play HL1 in HL2..

Nuke, Fusion and Houdini are the de-facto for animation and still very heavily used.

I've worked in the animation and currently the VFX realm.

I've planted money in the ground for a money tree. It'll sprout one day I'm sure of it.

The transport elevator wouldn't be located in a light house now it?

Nothing is stopping you from travelling within the borders. A village is nothing more than a province within the state.

If the law ruled: "you may not traverse through the state on Sundays"; then one could argue that is a breach of human rights.

However, the last time I checked, detours exist. Enabling you to bypass a village that may be closed on Sundays.

If you're a tourist and a village says no, why can't you obey that, why does that upset you?

Do not spit" signs

Some tourists have complained about the ban, saying it should have been implemented on a weekday instead

These should not be a thing. What is it that makes folk feel so entitled?

"Lack of litter bins"; isn't an excuse. I've seen folk stand next to a litter bin, light up and then throw the cigarettes end to the ground.

You're literally standing next to a litter bin!

It should be common sense not to spit nor to litter. Spitting is the worse and I see it all the time here in the UK.

"Content not available in your country" - obviously working well.

It's not fragility. Children are very adaptive and keen learners. Leading them to be easily conditioned and flipped.

Naivety is a learning mechanism which is part of human psychology and sociology of living. Where if the wrong conditions are brought to the child at a young age; it won't affect them in their now. The repercussions from the negative conditioning does surface later yet having a detrimental effect later on in their life.

I walk home from work and see toddlers with tablets, a digital nanny while the parents push the stroller as they tap on their own phone themselves. It's unlikely they know what content they're watching.

That is however the prime time where they should be interacting with their child. The child is observing everything around them and you should be engaging there observations.

The current and upcoming generations that grew up with a device in hands are now are discovering that they have range of issues from anxiety, trauma, even disassociation. Attention spans are at a whole new low and AI is exploiting that.

We have no idea nor studies how AI will affect children and if we are already starting to see that constant exposure on mature adults causes "Ai psychosis". How will it be any better for children?

It's not necessarily wrong and could be seen as exciting in many ways. It could reach the child in ways that traditional education does not because teaching is subjective. Some children are academic, some are practical, some are both.

With the unmediated push of current AI, Tablets with AI and negative environmental values; it is going to be horrifically damaging for the child later on in life.

All it takes is a toddler to press a button that spawns Ai to peddle misinformation via enhanced subliminal visuals and sounds as evidenced by current younger generations.

It's no fault of their own and you could argue that all devices have the same effect however the earlier were more tightly mediated for which you could turn off.

I'll make it 100% faster, skip saving any data to disk.

Microsoft dragged their heels hard when Firefox 3 came to the scene. IE6 was the browser at the time. Chrome was a concept and Opera at least pushed to keep up but surrendered and went to Chrome.

Pollution too.

Microbits of plastic, atmospheric smoke, splintered pieces of wood, wildfires.

Windows 2000 was the first release of NT5. That's what made it 2000.

Windows ME on the other hand...

Why can't they buy a $50 used chromebook what is ponders my mind.

Xorg version is broken for me :( although you can play in browser.

When do enterprises ever proper pay tax? If they did we all would be better off.

They will pay the minimum tax and that will then be pocketed by the local politicians who pushed for the DC. The town gets a pittance compared to the profit produced from these DCs.

One of the incentives to build in these areas are that they can pay low tax in the first place.

Because the internet is ours, if we make it so.

You could argue early in the days of self-hosting and HTML 2. However, the cloud was the nail in the coffin. You own nothing in the cloud. You gave up sovereignty when you traded for convenience, that's where the internet fell. We sold it for convenience and commodity and other actors swept in. Cloudflare for example.

Oh how we must need Cloudflare. How about instead of fixing, let's just throw an intermediary /s. SSL's are a racket, TLD's are too. All resource things you don't own and never will. (Unless you self-host) but otherwise you it lease out and charged. If you miss that renewal bill, sorry kid. That's our domain now.

Don't make me laugh at LetsEncrypt, I'm drinking my coffee to get through the morning. However that again is trading internet independence in to a false facade of "we are helping the internet" but as it's free, it's better than nothing.

Unless you have your own transit, Peers, AS, network, DNS which most don't and those that were independent ISPs sold themselves out. We are stuck in this atrocious capitalistic ideology of a dream, one built on lies from the beginning, until we strike that; enjoy this monopoly of corporate greed.

I am unsure they really care how long it lasts especially when you create something like this.

As long it carries out it mission for a minute of two. Send it to some underwater fibre optic cable and use it as a depth charge to blow it up.

No more requirements for anchors.

Why couldn't you post it after it's got its money worth?

Or is that the clause of YouTube "you must not post elsewhere"?

Bad analogy on my part, but my point still stands. That was the experience I encountered on the early net. Now everyone can use ChatGPT and SO is a coma slowly being leeched to death so you know you no longer have to worry about being asked or tested on your skills.

You think a teacher gets fed up of having to teach the same units of education every year?

"How can I read a file and split the line obtaining a pipe symbol and send it via a socket server" but the angst of "WHY DO DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT", "You shouldn't do that in X-Lang" ... well maybe because I wish to execute commands on the socket server when based on the value of the pipe.

Spoon feeding isn't inherently bad. The issue is that the spoon went from a small pile of sugar to full spoon. Then when someone really needed help, they got lynched by a mob for asking for help because it was seen as spoon feeding.

The days of the internet for me were when I got stuck, I could ask for help and a programmer would chime in and treat me like an actual human being. "Your doing it correct but in all the wrong ways, try this instead" or "how about you try it this way or hey X language may be a better suited"

That swiftly turned to: "it should be this way and no, stop asking for help". StackOverflow is evidence of this.

By then IRC had turned sterile & grumpy and as someone who's grown up with psychological trauma I was petrified posting on StackOverflow because most responses were "no it's wrong, don't code".

Which particularly is why I don't care about Python. Not sure how it is now but I saw python's community toxic. Maybe it has to be if it's to enter corporate land.

I chuckled once when driving having a radio adverts announce "enter in your web browser something.com slash question-mark prize ampersand win to win!"

BSD daily driver too.

Just recently bought a new NVme so I had to reformat, but went 80+ days without a reboot.

I can't. My mind explodes just having 10 tabs open. I need a clean browser, done with whatever, close tab. Reopen if I need that site again.

5years; I'm 37 now, I was 32. Life seemed easier then.

How the world has changed. It was PHP and MySQL now it's Python and Postgres.

During my cpanel script kiddy day it I never used because everything PHP was MySQL based and postgres was "Why would you use that"...

Some reason that strip doesn't load for me.

At this point you might as well make it Battle Royale style. If you're not next to your countability buddy (an adult) when you use the internet, poof.

It often doesn't work.

I suppose my main bash script on BSD, ~400 lines for backup, compilation and other admin tasks including a portable static text/plain web server have never failed me but never tested them interchangeably, so, prone some truth to failure.

I am not disagreeing of course and I would agree, Bash is designed for the system functions and that this is niche. However if it's all you got, eh, go for it.

Systems admin for 15 years and have handled some very hosed systems. Maybe the python binary got hosed and you were really desperate to share your lasagna recipe with your mother and the internet, it does have a purpose. Not ideal, sure.

I did yes, got ahead of myself there. I get it.

I'd rather a single unruly page of code to do the whole thing rather than multiple modules that do multiple things half-efficiently that require multiple thought to uncover.
